Fast Pseudoalignment Queries on Compressed Colored de Bruijn Graphs

Authors: Alessio Campanelli, Giulio Ermanno Pibiri, and Rob Patro

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 344, 25th International Conference on Algorithms for Bioinformatics (WABI 2025)

Abstract
Motivation. Indexes for the colored de Bruijn graph (c-dBG) play a crucial role in computational biology by facilitating complex tasks such as read mapping and assembly. These indexes map k-mers (substrings of length k) appearing in a large collection of reference strings to the set of identifiers of the strings where they appear. These sets, colloquially referred to as color sets, tend to occupy large quantities of memory, especially for large pangenomes. Our previous work thus focused on leveraging the repetitiveness of the color sets to improve the space effectiveness of the resulting index. As a matter of fact, repetition-aware indexes can be up to one order of magnitude smaller on large pangenomes compared to indexes that do not exploit such repetitiveness. Such improved space effectiveness, on the other hand, imposes an overhead at query time when performing tasks such as pseudoalignment that require the collection and processing of multiple related color sets. Methods. In this paper, we show how to avoid this overhead. We devise novel query algorithms tailored for the specific repetition-aware representations adopted by the Fulgor index, a state-of-the-art c-dBG index, to significantly improve its pseudoalignment efficiency and without consuming additional space. Results. Our results indicate that with increasing redundancy in the pangenomes, the compression factor provided by the Fulgor index increases, while the relative query time actually reduces. For example, while the space of the Fulgor index improves by 2.5× with repetition-aware compression and its query time improves by 1.6× on a collection of 5,000 Salmonella Enterica genomes, these factors become (6.1×,2.8×) and (11.2×,3.2×) for 50,000 and 150,000 genomes respectively. For an even larger collection of 300,000 genomes, we obtained an index that is 22.3× smaller and 2.2× faster.

Towards Representing Processes and Reasoning with Process Descriptions on the Web

Authors: Andreas Harth, Tobias Käfer, Anisa Rula, Jean-Paul Calbimonte, Eduard Kamburjan, and Martin Giese

Published in: TGDK, Volume 2, Issue 1 (2024): Special Issue on Trends in Graph Data and Knowledge - Part 2. Transactions on Graph Data and Knowledge, Volume 2, Issue 1

Abstract
We work towards a vocabulary to represent processes and temporal logic specifications as graph-structured data. Different fields use incompatible terminologies for describing essentially the same process-related concepts. In addition, processes can be represented from different perspectives and levels of abstraction: both state-centric and event-centric perspectives offer distinct insights into the underlying processes. In this work, we strive to unify the representation of processes and related concepts by leveraging the power of knowledge graphs. We survey approaches to representing processes and reasoning with process descriptions from different fields and provide a selection of scenarios to help inform the scope of a unified representation of processes. We focus on processes that can be executed and observed via web interfaces. We propose to provide a representation designed to combine state-centric and event-centric perspectives while incorporating temporal querying and reasoning capabilities on temporal logic specifications. A standardised vocabulary and representation for processes and temporal specifications would contribute towards bridging the gap between the terminologies from different fields and fostering the broader application of methods involving temporal logics, such as formal verification and program synthesis.

Machine Learning and Knowledge Graphs: Existing Gaps and Future Research Challenges

Authors: Claudia d'Amato, Louis Mahon, Pierre Monnin, and Giorgos Stamou

Published in: TGDK, Volume 1, Issue 1 (2023): Special Issue on Trends in Graph Data and Knowledge. Transactions on Graph Data and Knowledge, Volume 1, Issue 1

Abstract
The graph model is nowadays largely adopted to model a wide range of knowledge and data, spanning from social networks to knowledge graphs (KGs), representing a successful paradigm of how symbolic and transparent AI can scale on the World Wide Web. However, due to their unprecedented volume, they are generally tackled by Machine Learning (ML) and mostly numeric based methods such as graph embedding models (KGE) and deep neural networks (DNNs). The latter methods have been proved lately very efficient, leading the current AI spring. In this vision paper, we introduce some of the main existing methods for combining KGs and ML, divided into two categories: those using ML to improve KGs, and those using KGs to improve results on ML tasks. From this introduction, we highlight research gaps and perspectives that we deem promising and currently under-explored for the involved research communities, spanning from KG support for LLM prompting, integration of KG semantics in ML models to symbol-based methods, interpretability of ML models, and the need for improved benchmark datasets. In our opinion, such perspectives are stepping stones in an ultimate view of KGs as central assets for neuro-symbolic and explainable AI.

Published in: TGDK, Volume 1, Issue 1 (2023): Special Issue on Trends in Graph Data and Knowledge. Transactions on Graph Data and Knowledge, Volume 1, Issue 1

Abstract
Large Language Models (LLMs) have taken Knowledge Representation - and the world - by storm. This inflection point marks a shift from explicit knowledge representation to a renewed focus on the hybrid representation of both explicit knowledge and parametric knowledge. In this position paper, we will discuss some of the common debate points within the community on LLMs (parametric knowledge) and Knowledge Graphs (explicit knowledge) and speculate on opportunities and visions that the renewed focus brings, as well as related research topics and challenges.

The Post Correspondence Problem and Equalisers for Certain Free Group and Monoid Morphisms

Authors: Laura Ciobanu and Alan D. Logan

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 168, 47th International Colloquium on Automata, Languages, and Programming (ICALP 2020)

Abstract
A marked free monoid morphism is a morphism for which the image of each generator starts with a different letter, and immersions are the analogous maps in free groups. We show that the (simultaneous) PCP is decidable for immersions of free groups, and provide an algorithm to compute bases for the sets, called equalisers, on which the immersions take the same values. We also answer a question of Stallings about the rank of the equaliser. Analogous results are proven for marked morphisms of free monoids.
