Jul 14, 2026 AKBC is back: we are organising the 10th Workshop on Automated Knowledge Base Construction, co-located with EMNLP 2026 in Budapest on October 28, 2026 — with keynotes by Alon Halevy (Google), Heng Ji (UIUC), and Mausam (IIT Delhi). The call for papers is open: research papers (also via ARR), vision papers, and a shared task on knowledge base construction from LLMs. Details: https://akbc.ws/2026/
Jul 14, 2026 Together with Angela Bonifati, Jeff Z. Pan, Simon Razniewski, and Luke Zettlemoyer, I am organising Dagstuhl Seminar 26411 “Large Language Models Meet Knowledge Graphs”, Oct 4–9, 2026.
Jun 23, 2026 Gave a hands-on tutorial on LLM-based knowledge graph construction at the SIKS & HI Course on Knowledge Graphs.
Apr 22, 2026 New paper at the KG-LLM Workshop (LREC 2026): A Wikidata-Based Framework to Measure Cross-Lingual Bias in Multilingual Large Language Models. We introduce WILA-PopQA, a popularity-matched multilingual benchmark across 9 languages, and disentangle three factors that multilingual probing benchmarks usually confound: the language of the question, the language of the entity, and entity popularity. Across 12 open-weight LLMs, the language of the question turns out to be the dominant factor, and matching it to the entity’s language does not reliably improve factual recall.
Sep 10, 2025 Our paper on the robustness of deductive reasoning with LLMs was presented at ECAI 2025. See it on the publications page: Robustness paper entry. Short description: We study how small prompt and input variations affect deductive reasoning, analyse common failure modes, and outline an evaluation setup for robustness.
Sep 10, 2025 Published a short paper at ACL 2025: ChronoSense. See it on the publications page: ChronoSense entry. Short description: ChronoSense evaluates temporal understanding in large language models using event time intervals (e.g., Allen relations), highlighting current gaps in interval reasoning.
Jun 13, 2025 Taught at the International Semantic Web Summer School (ISWS) in Bertinoro, Italy.
