Abstract: Vague temporal adverbials are common in human communication but most question answering over linked data (QALD) approaches only work with exact time points. We present a QALD system that interprets vague temporal adverbials (e.g., “just”, “recently”) using a factorized probabilistic model. Building on NeoDUDES, an existing QALD approach, we map vague temporal adverbials to time intervals via empirically grounded Gaussian functions and generate SPARQL queries with temporal filters, enabling compositional interpretation of questions involving vagueness. Evaluated on a knowledge graph based on real-world smart home data, our system shows strong performance.
