AbstractKnowledge graph is a machine learning technique in which a graph is generated by scanning a set of documents detecting nodes (words) and relation within the nodes. In natural language processing Knowledge graph means a graph which provides a meaning knowledge. It can be considered as the process of obtaining required relation between bags of words.

In this project we will try to create a new knowledge graph which describes a text whole Indian short story.

Keywords Sentence Segmentation, Dependency Parsing, Relation Extraction, POS Tagging, Knowledge Graph.

I. INTRODUCTION

The term Knowledge Graph is an encyclopedia is readable by machines. So, it is basically Knowledge organized in a manner that a machine can easily understand and extract information. Basically, we are looking at the graph theory – nodes, edges and attribute. More practically in our project we are looking at Knowledge graphs where we have got entities with attributes and relationship to other entities (also with attuites), which, we look from the Indian old short story PANCHATANTRA. In our project a knowledge graph is engineered manually, and the information are extracted from the source text (PANCHATANTRA.txt).

  1. DATA PREPROCESSING

    Panchatantra, which is considered as one of most famous prose written by Pandit Vishnu Sharma in Indian literature. The actual time span of the short story in unknown but according to the assumption the story was written near about 1300 to 300 BC. The word Pancha means Five and Tantra means stories. Basically, the short stories were based on older oral tradition with animals and birds fable. These stories convey moral messages and the characters present in the stories are very interesting which attracts the children.

    In our project we have created a knowledge graph with the

  2. METHODOLOGY

    To visualize the short story through a knowledge graph we used python libraries like Pandas, regular expression, matcher, networkx etc. which were constructed gradually in the knowledge graph. After the data preprocessing, spacy library helps us to perform sentence segmentation. The present simple sentences in our csv, are tokenized. Upon using dependency parsing the meaningful data from these sentences are obtained. Parts of speech from the sentences were identified using pos (Parts of Speech) tagging. Dependency parsing helps us to extract subject, object, main verb etc. and also highlights how each and every words are dependent on each other. To increase the rule primarily based strategies for relation /information extraction, we should have a proper knowledge of the dependency structure of the sentences at hand. With the help of spacy model (en_web_core_sm) we get an idea that how subject and object are connected with a main verb (root). Each and every subject, object, relations are stored into a list, in which we create the data frame with the column name subject, object, relation by their similarity of orders. The subject, object and root which were extracted from the text were stored in a list. These nodes (subject, object, relation) are called Triples. The csv file created by simple sentences is uploaded with the help of json. But initially the knowledge graph which was generated from the short story contained no relations between those nodes and the generated graph does not have any knowledge. It is necessary to understand however, info and Knowledge are embedded in these graphs. A node or an entity can have multiple relations for this sole reason graph viz was used to generate a graph at the end. Suppose there are two nodes A & B having totally different entities. These nodes are connected by an edge that represents the relationship or connection between the two nodes. Below is an example of the smallest knowledge graph we will build.

    help of Natural language processing, from an Indian short story as mentioned earlier. A particular story was hand- picked and refined by removing punctuations. The complex and compound sentences were reconstructed into simple sentences by removing brackets, commas etc.

    Node A

    Node B

    According to our analysis in the short story there are 22 sentences and 204 words from the first story,23 sentences and 173 words in second story,35sentences and 210 words from third story ,39 sentences and 175 words from fourth story.

    This is going to be a very fascinating aspect of this text. Our hypothesis concludes that the Predicate is truly the main verb in a sentence. Basically, this graph is a directed graph in which extracted subject, object and relations are used, subject

    and object are nodes of the graph and the main verb is the actual relation between the nodes. After generating the directed graph, the story is visualized and accordingly the meaningful knowledge graph is obtained from which the short story could be properly comprehensible.

  3. FIGURES & TABLES

    The work proposed in this research paper helps to create a knowledge graph between different relationships and helps to establish relationships from different Story.

    Here the following outputs have been created by extracting tokenization, dependence extraction.

    Here the sentence can be turned into a list. Each sentence can be presented as a knowledge graph.
