Description

KGSum: Automatic Classification and Profiling of Knowledge Graphs

KgSum is a Python application for extracting, preparing, and classifying Knowledge Graphs (KGs). It combines Large Language Models (such as Mistral Instructor 7B with QLoRA) and traditional machine learning for effective graph classification and profiling.

Getting Started

Follow these steps to set up KgSum locally.

Prerequisites

For Local Machine Learning Backend:

  • Miniconda (required)
  • Python 3.12 (suggested)
  • CUDA 12.8 (for transformer models like Mistral)
  • NVIDIA GPU (recommended: RTX 3070 or higher)

For Frontend:

  • Node.js
  • npm

For Docker Deployment:

  • Docker
  • Docker Compose

Installation

Local Setup (Machine Learning Backend)

  1. Clone the repository:

    git clone https://github.com/mariocosenza/kgsum.git
    cd kgsum
     
  2. Create and activate conda environment:

    conda env create -f environment.yml
    conda activate kgsum
     
  3. For GPU/Transformer Models (Mistral):

    • Comment out CUDA libraries in environment.yml
    • Change TensorFlow version to GPU-compatible version as suggested in comments

Frontend Setup

  1. Install dependencies:

    npm install
     
  2. Run the frontend:

    npm run dev
     
  3. For GraphDB embedding visualization:

    • Replace GraphDB's security-config.xml with the one in /docker/graphdb

Configuration

Environment Variables

Set the following environment variables in your shell:

export GEMINI_API_KEY=your_gemini_api_key_here

Backend Configuration

Configure the backend by editing config.json:

{
  "labeling" : {
    "use_gemini": false,
    "search_zenodo": true,
    "search_github": true,
    "search_lod_cloud": true,
    "stop_before_merging": false

  "extraction": {
    "start_offset": 0,
    "step_numbers": 10,
    "step_range": 16,
    "extract_sparql": true,
    "query_lov": false
  },
  "processing" : {
    "use_ner": false,

  },
  "training" : {
     "classifier": "NAIVE_BAYES",
     "feature": ["CURI", "PURI", "LAB", "CON", "TLDS", "VOC", "LCN", "LPN", "DSC", "SBJ"],
     "oversample": true,
     "max_token": 36000,
     "use_tfidf_autoencoder": true
  },
  "profile": {
    "store_profile_after_training": false,

  },
  "general_settings": {
    "info": "Possible classifiers: SVM, NAIVE_BAYES, KNN, J48, MISTRAL, MLP, DEEP, BATCHNORM, Phase: LABELING, EXTRACTION, PROCESSING, TRAINING, STORE",
    "start_phase": "labeling",
    "stop_phase": "training",
    "allow_upload": true
  }
}
 

Available Classifiers: SVM, NAIVE_BAYES, KNN, J48, MISTRAL, MLP, DEEP, BATCHNORM
Available Features: CURI, PURI
Processing Phases: LABELING, EXTRACTION, PROCESSING, TRAINING, STORE

Usage

Training Process

Full Training Pipeline

Run the complete training process from extraction to model training:

python train.py
 

Individual Script Training

For more fine-tuned control, run individual scripts in /src:

# Run scripts in /src directory for specific phases
 

Running the Application

Local Flask Server

After completing training, start the WSGI Flask server on port 5000:

python app.py
 

Prerequisites for Complete Profiling

  • Linked Open Vocabularies (LOV) instance is required for complete profiling and initial data extraction

API Usage

Send POST requests to:

  • /api/v1/profile/sparql
  • /api/v1/profile/file

Refer to the Swagger documentation for detailed request and response formats.

 

Profile Evaluation


The src/profile_evaluation folder contains the material used to compare KGSum-generated VoID profiles with reference profiles from LOD Cloud.

Folder contents


- lodcloud_profiles/: reference Turtle profiles used as the evaluation baseline.
- kgsum_profiles/: Turtle profiles generated by KGSum. Files are matched with `lodcloud_profiles/` by filename.
- lodcloud_sources.json: source list used by the KGSum profile generation script.
kgsum_profile_timings.csv: timing log written while generating profiles.
profile_evaluation_results.csv: optional per-profile evaluation output.
missing_fields.svg: optional chart showing the most common missing fields.
create_kgsum_profiles.py: calls the local KGSum API to generate Turtle profiles from SPARQL endpoints or RDF dumps.
evaluate.py: compares KGSum profiles against the LOD Cloud reference profiles.

Typical workflow


1. Start the backend API from the project root:
 
python app.py
 

2. Generate KGSum profiles from the configured sources:
 
python src/profile_evaluation/create_kgsum_profiles.py
 
This writes generated profiles to src/profile_evaluation/kgsum_profiles/ and appends timing data to src/profile_evaluation/kgsum_profile_timings.csv.

3. Run the evaluation:
 
python src/profile_evaluation/evaluate.py \
--details-csv src/profile_evaluation/profile_evaluation_results.csv \
--missing-fields-chart src/profile_evaluation/missing_fields.svg
 
The command prints the coverage summary in the terminal, writes per-profile details to CSV, and creates an SVG chart for missing fields.

4. To evaluate custom folders, pass explicit paths:
 
python src/profile_evaluation/evaluate.py \
--kgsum-dir path/to/generated_profiles \
--lodcloud-dir path/to/reference_profiles \
--timings path/to/kgsum_profile_timings.csv
 

Docker Deployment

Quick Setup with Pre-trained Model

For a simpler deployment using the pre-trained Naive Bayes model:

  1. Navigate to the docker directory:

    cd /docker
     
  2. Fill the .env file with your configuration

  3. Run with Docker Compose:

    docker-compose up
     

Individual Docker Services

Three individual Dockerfiles are provided for custom deployments:

  • Backend service
  • Frontend service
  • GraphDB configuration
