This proposal aims to contribute to addressing the challenge of generating formal SPARQL queries from natural language questions, thereby facilitating intuitive question-answering from open knowledge graphs, such as DBpedia. Among the three major approaches to this task, i.e., classification, ranking, and translation [Chakraborty et.al, 2019], this proposal will primarily focus on the latter one (translation). The key motivation behind choosing the translation approach is the significant performance improvement observed with the use of pre-trained language models such as T5 or GPT models in translation tasks.
