Mining Inter-Document Argument Structures in Scientific Papers for an Argument Web

Authors: Florian Ruosch, Cristina Sarasua, and Abraham Bernstein

Published in: TGDK, Volume 3, Issue 3 (2025). Transactions on Graph Data and Knowledge, Volume 3, Issue 3

Abstract
In Argument Mining, predicting argumentative relations between texts (or spans) remains one of the most challenging aspects, even more so in the cross-document setting. This paper makes three key contributions to advance research in this domain. We first extend an existing dataset, the Sci-Arg corpus, by annotating it with explicit inter-document argumentative relations, thereby allowing arguments to be distributed over several documents forming an Argument Web; these new annotations are published using Semantic Web technologies (RDF, OWL). Second, we explore and evaluate three automated approaches for predicting these inter-document argumentative relations, establishing critical baselines on the new dataset. We find that a simple classifier based on discourse indicators with access to context outperforms neural methods. Third, we conduct a comparative analysis of these approaches for both intra- and inter-document settings, identifying statistically significant differences in results that indicate the necessity of distinguishing between these two scenarios. Our findings highlight significant challenges in this complex domain and open crucial avenues for future research on the Argument Web of Science, particularly for those interested in leveraging Semantic Web technologies and knowledge graphs to understand scholarly discourse. With this, we provide the first stepping stones in the form of a benchmark dataset, three baseline methods, and an initial analysis for a systematic exploration of this field relevant to the Web of Data and Science.

DiVerG: Scalable Distance Index for Validation of Paired-End Alignments in Sequence Graphs

Authors: Ali Ghaffaari, Alexander Schönhuth, and Tobias Marschall

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

Abstract
Determining the distance between two loci within a genomic region is a recurrent operation in various tasks in computational genomics. A notable example of this task arises in paired-end read mapping as a form of validation of distances between multiple alignments. While straightforward for a single genome, graph-based reference structures render the operation considerably more involved. Given the sheer number of such queries in a typical read mapping experiment, an efficient algorithm for answering distance queries is crucial. In this paper, we introduce DiVerG, a compact data structure as well as a fast and scalable algorithm, for constructing distance indexes for general sequence graphs on multi-core CPU and many-core GPU architectures. DiVerG is based on PairG [Jain et al., 2019], but overcomes the limitations of PairG by exploiting the extensive potential for improvements in terms of scalability and space efficiency. As a consequence, DiVerG can process substantially larger datasets, such as whole human genomes, which are unmanageable by PairG. DiVerG offers faster index construction time and consistently faster query time with gains proportional to the size of the underlying compact data structure. We demonstrate that our method performs favorably on multiple real datasets at various scales. DiVerG achieves superior performance over PairG; e.g. resulting to 2.5-4x speed-up in query time, 44-340x smaller index size, and 3-50x faster construction time for the genome graph of the MHC region, as a particularly variable region of the human genome.

Multi-League Sports Scheduling with Team Interdependencies: An Optimization Model

Authors: Nils Weidmann

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 340, 31st International Conference on Principles and Practice of Constraint Programming (CP 2025)

Abstract
Every year, a large number of matches must be scheduled for professional and amateur sports teams. Several constraints have to be considered, including the overall capacity of venues and interdependencies between teams of the same club. As interdependent teams of a club play in different leagues, finding an optimal solution is very challenging for practitioners. While the problem of respecting capacity restrictions is well-addressed in prior work, interdependencies between teams are widely neglected, despite being a problem of major importance in practice. This paper enhances the formal definition of the multi-league-sports scheduling problem to take team interdependencies into account. We create an optimization problem to be solved by means of integer linear programming, and prove the corresponding decision problem to be NP-complete by a polynomial reduction from 3-SAT. An implementation which was used to schedule German table tennis leagues of a certain district demonstrates the practical applicability of the approach.

Efficient Certified Reasoning for Binarized Neural Networks

Authors: Jiong Yang, Yong Kiam Tan, Mate Soos, Magnus O. Myreen, and Kuldeep S. Meel

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 341, 28th International Conference on Theory and Applications of Satisfiability Testing (SAT 2025)

Abstract
Neural networks have emerged as essential components in safety-critical applications - these use cases demand complex, yet trustworthy computations. Binarized Neural Networks (BNNs) are a type of neural network where each neuron is constrained to a Boolean value; they are particularly well-suited for safety-critical tasks because they retain much of the computational capacities of full-scale (floating-point or quantized) deep neural networks, but remain compatible with satisfiability solvers for qualitative verification and with model counters for quantitative reasoning. However, existing methods for BNN analysis suffer from either limited scalability or susceptibility to soundness errors, which hinders their applicability in real-world scenarios. In this work, we present a scalable and trustworthy approach for both qualitative and quantitative verification of BNNs. Our approach introduces a native representation of BNN constraints in a custom-designed solver for qualitative reasoning, and in an approximate model counter for quantitative reasoning. We further develop specialized proof generation and checking pipelines with native support for BNN constraint reasoning, ensuring trustworthiness for all of our verification results. Empirical evaluations on a BNN robustness verification benchmark suite demonstrate that our certified solving approach achieves a 9× speedup over prior certified CNF and PB-based approaches, and our certified counting approach achieves a 218× speedup over the existing CNF-based baseline. In terms of coverage, our pipeline produces fully certified results for 99% and 86% of the qualitative and quantitative reasoning queries on BNNs, respectively. This is in sharp contrast to the best existing baselines which can fully certify only 62% and 4% of the queries, respectively.

Semantic Representation of Adverbs in the Lexicalized Meaning Representation (LMR) Framework

Authors: Jorge Baptista, Izabela Müller, and Sónia Reis

Published in: OASIcs, Volume 135, 14th Symposium on Languages, Applications and Technologies (SLATE 2025)

Abstract
Semantic parsing serves as a crucial interface between natural language and formal meaning representations, enabling computational systems to capture the underlying semantic structure of linguistic expressions. This paper addresses a relatively understudied area in both linguistic theory and natural language processing: the semantic representation of adverbs. We conduct a comparative analysis of annotation guidelines and practices across two semantic representation frameworks: Lexicalized Meaning Representation (LMR), applied to the European Portuguese edition of the novella "O Principezinho" by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry (1943); and Abstract Meaning Representation (AMR), applied to the Brazilian Portuguese edition, "O Pequeno Príncipe". The study reveals significant limitations in AMR’s handling of adverbial constructions, particularly when assessed against contemporary syntactic-semantic advances in linguistic theory. Furthermore, it highlights the theoretical and practical challenges that LMR continues to face in this domain.

Vehicle: Bridging the Embedding Gap in the Verification of Neuro-Symbolic Programs (Invited Talk)

Authors: Matthew L. Daggitt, Wen Kokke, Robert Atkey, Ekaterina Komendantskaya, Natalia Slusarz, and Luca Arnaboldi

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 337, 10th International Conference on Formal Structures for Computation and Deduction (FSCD 2025)

Abstract
Neuro-symbolic programs, i.e. programs containing both machine learning components and traditional symbolic code, are becoming increasingly widespread. Finding a general methodology for verifying such programs is challenging due to both the number of different tools involved and the intricate interface between the "neural" and "symbolic" program components. In this paper we present a general decomposition of the neuro-symbolic verification problem into parts, and examine the problem of the embedding gap that occurs when one tries to combine proofs about the neural and symbolic components. To address this problem we then introduce Vehicle - standing as an abbreviation for a "verification condition language" - an intermediate programming language interface between machine learning frameworks, automated theorem provers, and dependently-typed formalisations of neuro-symbolic programs. Vehicle allows users to specify the properties of the neural components of neuro-symbolic programs once, and then safely compile the specification to each interface using a tailored typing and compilation procedure. We give a high-level overview of Vehicle’s overall design, its interfaces and compilation & type-checking procedures, and then demonstrate its utility by formally verifying the safety of a simple autonomous car controlled by a neural network, operating in a stochastic environment with imperfect information.

Linear Logic Using Negative Connectives

Authors: Dale Miller

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 337, 10th International Conference on Formal Structures for Computation and Deduction (FSCD 2025)

Abstract
In linear logic, the invertibility of a connective’s right-introduction rule is equivalent to the non-invertibility of its left-introduction rule. This duality motivates the concept of polarity: a connective is termed negative if its right-introduction rule is invertible, and positive otherwise. A two-sided sequent calculus for first-order linear logic featuring only negative connectives exhibits a compelling proof theory. Proof search in such a system unfolds through alternating phases of invertible (right-introduction) rules and non-invertible (left-introduction) rules, mirroring the processes of goal-reduction and backchaining, respectively. These phases are formalized here using the framework of multifocused proofs. We analyze linear logic by dissecting it into three sublogics: L₀ (first-order intuitionistic logic with conjunction, implication, and universal quantification); L₁ (an extension of L₀ incorporating linear implication which preserves its intuitionistic nature); and L₂ (which includes multiplicative falsity ⊥ and encompasses classical linear logic). It is worth noting that the single-conclusion restriction on sequents, a constraint imposed by Gentzen, is not a prerequisite for defining intuitionistic logic proofs within this framework, as it emerges naturally by restricting the formulas to those of L₀ and L₁. While multifocused proofs of L₂ sequents can accommodate parallel applications of left-introduction rules, proofs of L₀ and L₁ sequents cannot leverage such parallel rule applications. This notion of parallelism within proofs enables a novel approach to handling disjunctions and existential quantifiers in the natural deduction system for intuitionistic logic.

On the Instance Optimality of Detecting Collisions and Subgraphs

Authors: Omri Ben-Eliezer, Tomer Grossman, and Moni Naor

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 334, 52nd International Colloquium on Automata, Languages, and Programming (ICALP 2025)

Abstract
Suppose you are given a function f: [n] → [n] via (black-box) query access to the function. You are looking to find something local, like a collision (a pair x ≠ y s.t. f(x) = f(y)). The question is whether knowing the "shape" of the function helps you or not (by shape we mean that some permutation of the function is known). Formally, we investigate the unlabeled instance optimality of substructure detection problems in graphs and functions. A problem is g(n)-instance optimal if it admits an algorithm A satisfying that for any possible input, the (randomized) query complexity of A is at most g(n) times larger than the query complexity of any algorithm A' which solves the same problem while holding an unlabeled copy of the input (i.e., any A' that "knows the structure of the input"). Our results point to a trichotomy of unlabeled instance optimality among substructure detection problems in graphs and functions: - A few very simple properties have an O(1)-instance optimal algorithm. - Most properties of graphs and functions, with examples such as containing a fixed point or a 3-collision in functions, or a triangle in graphs, are n^{c}-far from instance optimal for some constant c > 0. - The problems of collision detection in functions and finding a claw in a graph serve as a middle ground between the two regimes. We show that these two properties are not Ω(log n)-instance optimal, and conjecture that this bound is tight. We provide evidence towards this conjecture, by proving that finding a claw in a graph is O(log(n))-instance optimal among all input graphs for which the query complexity of an algorithm holding an unlabeled certificate is O(√{n/(log n)}).

Completeness of First-Order Bi-Intuitionistic Logic

Authors: Dominik Kirst and Ian Shillito

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 326, 33rd EACSL Annual Conference on Computer Science Logic (CSL 2025)

Abstract
We provide a succinct and verified completeness proof for first-order bi-intuitionistic logic, relative to constant domain Kripke semantics. By doing so, we make up for the almost-50-year-old substantial mistakes in Rauszer’s foundational work, detected but unresolved by Shillito two years ago. Moreover, an even earlier but historically neglected proof by Klemke has been found to contain at least local errors by Olkhovikov and Badia, that remained unfixed due to the technical complexity of Klemke’s argument. To resolve this unclear situation once and for all, we give a succinct completeness proof, based on and dualising a standard proof for constant domain intuitionistic logic, and verify our constructions using the Coq proof assistant to guarantee correctness.

Semantic Web: Past, Present, and Future

Authors: Ansgar Scherp, Gerd Groener, Petr Škoda, Katja Hose, and Maria-Esther Vidal

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
Ever since the vision was formulated, the Semantic Web has inspired many generations of innovations. Semantic technologies have been used to share vast amounts of information on the Web, enhance them with semantics to give them meaning, and enable inference and reasoning on them. Throughout the years, semantic technologies, and in particular knowledge graphs, have been used in search engines, data integration, enterprise settings, and machine learning. In this paper, we recap the classical concepts and foundations of the Semantic Web as well as modern and recent concepts and applications, building upon these foundations. The classical topics we cover include knowledge representation, creating and validating knowledge on the Web, reasoning and linking, and distributed querying. We enhance this classical view of the so-called "Semantic Web Layer Cake" with an update of recent concepts that include provenance, security and trust, as well as a discussion of practical impacts from industry-led contributions. We conclude with an outlook on the future directions of the Semantic Web. This is a living document.

Abstract
Openly available, collaboratively edited Knowledge Graphs (KGs) are key platforms for the collective management of evolving knowledge. The present work aims t o provide an analysis of the obstacles related to investigating and processing specifically this central aspect of evolution in KGs. To this end, we discuss (i) the dimensions of evolution in KGs, (ii) the observability of evolution in existing, open, collaboratively constructed Knowledge Graphs over time, and (iii) possible metrics to analyse this evolution. We provide an overview of relevant state-of-the-art research, ranging from metrics developed for Knowledge Graphs specifically to potential methods from related fields such as network science. Additionally, we discuss technical approaches - and their current limitations - related to storing, analysing and processing large and evolving KGs in terms of handling typical KG downstream tasks.

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.

Towards Ordinal Data Science

Authors: Gerd Stumme, Dominik Dürrschnabel, and Tom Hanika

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
Order is one of the main instruments to measure the relationship between objects in (empirical) data. However, compared to methods that use numerical properties of objects, the amount of ordinal methods developed is rather small. One reason for this is the limited availability of computational resources in the last century that would have been required for ordinal computations. Another reason - particularly important for this line of research - is that order-based methods are often seen as too mathematically rigorous for applying them to real-world data. In this paper, we will therefore discuss different means for measuring and ‘calculating’ with ordinal structures - a specific class of directed graphs - and show how to infer knowledge from them. Our aim is to establish Ordinal Data Science as a fundamentally new research agenda. Besides cross-fertilization with other cornerstone machine learning and knowledge representation methods, a broad range of disciplines will benefit from this endeavor, including, psychology, sociology, economics, web science, knowledge engineering, scientometrics.

Knowledge Engineering Using Large Language Models

Authors: Bradley P. Allen, Lise Stork, and Paul Groth

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
Knowledge engineering is a discipline that focuses on the creation and maintenance of processes that generate and apply knowledge. Traditionally, knowledge engineering approaches have focused on knowledge expressed in formal languages. The emergence of large language models and their capabilities to effectively work with natural language, in its broadest sense, raises questions about the foundations and practice of knowledge engineering. Here, we outline the potential role of LLMs in knowledge engineering, identifying two central directions: 1) creating hybrid neuro-symbolic knowledge systems; and 2) enabling knowledge engineering in natural language. Additionally, we formulate key open research questions to tackle these directions.

Models for Trustworthy Service and Process Oriented Systems

Authors: Hugo A. Lopez

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 7, Technical Communications of the 26th International Conference on Logic Programming (2010)

Abstract
Service and process-oriented systems promise to provide more effective business and work processes and more flexible and adaptable enterprise IT systems. However, the technologies and standards are still young and unstable, making research in their theoretical foundations increasingly important. Our studies focus on two dichotomies: the global/local views of service interactions, and their imperative/declarative specification. A global view of service interactions describes a process as a protocol for interactions, as e.g. an UML sequence diagram or a WS-CDL choreography. A local view describes the system as a set of processes, e.g. specified as a mipi-calculus or WS-BPEL process, implementing each participant in the process. While the global view is what is usually provided as specification, the local view is a necessary step towards a distributed implementation. If processes are defined imperatively, the control flow is defined explicitly, e.g. as a sequence or flow graph of interactions/commands. In a declarative approach processes are described as a collection of conditions they should fulfill in order to be considered correct. The two approaches have evolved rather independently from each other. Our thesis is that we can provide a theoretical framework based on typed concurrent process and concurrent constraint calculi for the specification, analysis and verification of service and process oriented system designs which bridges the global and local view and combines the imperative and declarative specification approaches, and can be employed to increase the trust in the developed systems. This article describes our main motivations, results and future research directions.
