Short Description of the KE4WoT Challenge

The Web of Things (WoT) is an extension of the Internet of Things (IoT) to ease the access to data generated by things/devices using the benefits of Web technologies. Data is exploited by WoT applications to monitor healthcare or even control home automation devices. The purpose of the Knowledge Extraction for the Web of Things (KE4WoT) challenge is to automatically extract the relevant knowledge from already designed smart WoT applications in various applicative domains. Those applications design and release Knowledge Bases (e.g., datasets and/or models) on the web.

Description of the KE4WoT Challenge

The Web of Things (WoT) is an extension of the Internet of Things (IoT) to ease the access to data using the benefits of Web technologies [2]. Data is generated by things/devices and then exploited by more and more web-based applications to monitor healthcare or even control home automation devices. There is a growing interest in standardization in designing models to represent devices and produced data as demonstrated by the following standards. Those models should be used to design interoperable smart web-based WoT applications:

  • W3C Semantic Sensor Networks (SSN) is the first initiative to address interoperability issues to describe sensor networks through an ontology since devices are required to build WoT applications. A new version of the ontology [3] has been recently released and became a W3C recommendation in October 2017. It is a joint contribution with the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) standard, extending and improving the SSN ontology published in 2011.
  • W3C Web of Things (WoT) Interest Group is designing a vocabulary to describe interactions between objects through the Web, a potential implementation is the WoT ontology [4]. At the current date of writing, WoT ontology is not aligned with W3C SSN ontologies. A healthcare scenario has been designed "Remote health monitoring system" [5] among several use cases.
  • OneM2M, an international standard for Machine-to-Machine (M2M) with the development of the OneM2M ontology [6]. It extends the European ETSI M2M standard. At the current date of writing, OneM2M is not aligned with W3C SSN. The MyOntoSens ontology, based on SSN V1 is being standardized as a Technical Specification (TS) within the SmartBAN (Body Area Networks) Technical Committee of the ETSI standardization body [Nachabe et al. 2015]. This ontology is relevant to build health applications based on smart devices.
  • Smart Appliances REFerence (SAREF) [7], is a European standard supported by ETSI M2M and SmartM2M. It mainly covers the smart building applicative domain. The SAREF ontology has been designed re-using SSN and oneM2M according to [Moreira et al. 2017].
  • Schema.org is a well-known schema catalog to structure data on Web pages to describe the location, person, etc. The IoT Schema.org extension [8] is planned; nothing concrete has been developed yet, but discussions are ongoing.
  • Haystack [9] is a project aiming at standardizing semantic data models and web services. For instance, the Haystack Tagging Ontology which employs SSN V1 ontology has been developed [10] [Charpenay et al. 2015].


It would be interesting to have methodologies enabling answering such questions:

  • What are the sensors designed within the models (e.g. Body Thermometer)?
  • What are the logical rules (IF THEN ELSE) designed within the models (e.g., if body temperature greater than 38 Degree Celsius than fever) relevant to interpret sensor data?
  • What is the applicative domain within this model (e.g., healthcare) useful when the ontology covers several domains (e.g., Ambient Assisted Living combines smart homes and healthcare domains).

The purpose of this challenge would be to automatically extract the knowledge (e.g. the most common concepts and properties) in already designed and available Knowledge Bases (e.g., datasets and/or models) released on the Web. We will focus on KBs from standards, and/or ontology-based WoT research projects applied to numerous domains. It will demonstrate that the complementary knowledge is constantly redesigned in different communities [11].

This research challenge could be solved with knowledge extraction technologies. However, most of the existing extraction techniques are frequently applied to text from document and social networks. The main novelty of this challenge would be to apply web-based extraction techniques to models employed to structure data. Indeed, data can be considered as the new oil, what it is still neglected is the reuse of the models used to structure and/or linking data (e.g., Linked Data) to ease the knowledge extraction from data.

In this challenge, we suggest focussing on the healthcare domain with health ontologies to build domain-specific WoT applications and for challenge evaluation purpose. Ideally, the challenge proposal with designed solutions could be applied to any other applicative domains.

Submission Guidelines

Please express your interest in the KE4WoT Challenge and which tasks by filling this form here

Submission Web page on Easy Chair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ke4wotchallengewww2018

The paper submission will be maximum 6 pages and should follow the ACM format (see WWW 2018 template).

Challenge Task 1.1: Extracting the most popular terms and properties (Challenge Task 1: Exploiting the Web of Things Knowledge Base)

The LOV4IoTontology catalog is referencing almost 400 WoT research projects in various areas such as home automation, smart cities, smart agriculture, healthcare, etc. More information can be found within the LOV4IoT project http://lov4iot.appspot.com/. In the same way, other ontology catalogs can be employed (e.g., Ready4SmartCities, LOV, OpenSensingCity); we are suggesting the LOV4IoT dataset since the organizers can help for any requests during the challenge process. BioPortal is another ontology catalog dedicated to the healthcare domain.

Definition: Loading a set of WoT-related ontologies and extract the most popular/important terms and properties. An example would be to query all ontologies from the healthcare domain, by analyzing most popular terms, we expect the results would display Body Temperature, Blood Pressure, etc. It would be interesting to have algorithms answering such questions: (1) What are the sensors designed within the ontology (e.g. Body Thermometer)?, (2) What are the logical rules (IF THEN ELSE) designed within the ontology (e.g., if body temperature greater than 38 Degree Celcius than fever)? What is the applicative domain within this ontology (e.g., healthcare) useful when the ontology covers several domains (e.g., Ambient Assisted Living combines smart homes and healthcare domains).

Input: A set of ontologies from the LOV4IoT ontology catalog (e.g., health ontologies).

 LOV4IoT Tutorial to get health ontologies: http://lov4iot.appspot.com/?p=queryHealthOntologiesWS (using a web service or a dump of ontologies)

Output: For each ontology, finding the most 20 relevant concepts and properties.

 Suggestion:
 OntoKhoj: a semantic web portal for ontology searching, ranking and classification [Patel et al. 2003] [12]
 Identifying potentially important concepts and relations in an ontology [Wu et al. 2008] [13]

Impact: Such algorithms would demonstrate the most relevant concepts and properties in a set of domains. Hopefully, the algorithm will be generic enough to be applied to any domains. Such algorithms could be relevant to assist to create iot.schema.org for instance.

Audience: WoT/IoT and healthcare communities who want to discover and study already designed models, any developers and/or data scientists willing to make statistics, Knowledge Extraction Experts.

Evaluation: For evaluation purpose, we will choose some health ontologies referenced within the set of health ontologies mentioned above.

  Criteria 1: What are the sensors/devices described within the ontologies?
  Criteria 2: What are the concepts and or properties which can be linked to other ontologies (e.g., Patient could be linked to foaf:Person)?
 
  Check here our evaluation tables to show the most common concepts within IoT ontologies


Genericity: To test the genericity of your algorithm, you can play with additional datasets:

  LOV4IoT Tutorial to get IoT ontologies: http://lov4iot.appspot.com/?p=queryIoTOntologiesWS (using a web service or a dump of ontologies)
  LOV4IoT Tutorial to get city ontologies: http://lov4iot.appspot.com/?p=queryCityOntologiesWS (using a web service or a dump of ontologies)
  LOV4IoT Tutorial to get Web of Things (WoT) ontologies: http://lov4iot.appspot.com/?p=queryWoTOntologiesWS (using a web service or a dump of ontologies)

Challenge Task 1.2: Ontology Matching algorithms and software (Challenge Task 1: Exploiting the Web of Things Knowledge Base)

Definition: Instead of using the OAEI benchmark, ontology matching experts could apply their software and or algorithms on the LOV4IoT benchmark to align WoT-related ontologies.

Input: A set of ontologies from LOV4IoT ontology catalog: IoT ontologies.

 LOV4IoT Tutorial to get IoT ontologies: http://lov4iot.appspot.com/?p=queryIoTOntologiesWS (using a web service or a dump of ontologies)

Output: Aligning ontologies to highlight common concepts and properties

 Suggestion:
 Focus on the following ontologies: W3C SSN V1, W3C SSN V2, M3, M3-lite, FIESTA-IoT, OneM2M, Hypercat, Haystack, IoT-lite, SAREF, OpenIoT, W3c WoT, Vital.
 
 http://lov4iot.appspot.com/?p=OntologyAlignmentKE4WoTChallengeWWW2018

Evaluation:

 Criteria 1: Do the set of ontologies can be loaded with the ontology matching tool?
 Criteria 2: Do the set of ontologies can be compiled with the ontology matching tool? 
 Criteria 3: Explain the difficulties encountered with the ontologies (e.g., lack of labels, ontology cannot be loaded, ontology does not compile)? 
 Criteria 4: What are the lessons learnt when applying those ontologies with any ontology matching tools? 
 Criteria 5: Do you get better results compared to a specific ontology matching tool (will be announced later)?  
 Check here our suggestions and evaluation tables to align IoT ontologies

Impact: Ontology matching experts would observe that ontologies referenced are not structured in the same way (perhaps no labels or comments are provided within the ontology which is a huge problem since most of the methods are using this hypothesis). This would lead to the design of new ontology matching tools relevant to WoT.

Audience: Ontology Matching Experts

Challenge Task 2.1: Named Entity Recognition in Healthcare Unstructured Text

Task Flows
Figure: A Diagrammatic Representation of Two Task Flows

Definition: Named entity recognition (NER) is considered as an important natural language processing task. The identified entities can be used as input for other information enrichment activities like relation extraction, event identification, or question answering. Most of the NER systems developed have targeted structured text in non-healthcare domain. Healthcare text are pretty complex in nature in regards to the context in which the medical entities are used. Healthcare domain is a rich and unexplored area for natural language processing researchers. In this challenge, we propel the idea of NER system development over health-care domain specific unstructured text obtained from Twitter. We categorise the entities as disease entity, a severe form of the disease, trigger entity, procedure/treatment/device identification. We provide the definition of these entity types as follows:

  • Disease Entity: It is the name of the disease that is being explicitly stated in the text. Identification of this entity enables discovery of etiological factors of the disease and its historical information.
  • Severity Entity ( a severe form of disease entity): It is a disease entity that of etiological origin from a relatively mild disease entity.
  • Trigger Entity: It is a disease entity/substance/environmental condition that caused/provoked the disease entity identified in the text. For example, weather, measure cough rate, respiration patterns, heartbeat, temperature and other body data.
  • Location Entity: Words listed under human anatomy are location entity. For instance, bones, muscles, nose, lungs, etc.
  • Procedure/Treatment/Device: These are entities that define a procedure, treatment or device used by the patient or clinician as an act to cure the disease entity stated in the text. For example, an inhaler is a device to cure asthma.
  • Control : It is a dichotomous variable whose value is given “yes” when the tweet talks about disease control, reduction in severity or reduced frequency of asthmatic attacks. This category is created for supporting the question answering task.

Examples:

A. Input Tweet Text: I coughed in front of some stoners at the gas station and a dude goes bro pass that ... I have asthma and pneumonia in lungs.

Output: (The ICD10 codes written in brackets are for references)

  • Disease Entity : asthma(J45 in ICD10) and pneumonia (J851 in ICD10) and cough (R05 in ICD10)

Input: A domain-specific corpus of social media text (e.g., tweets).

Output: Named Entities using Statistical methods and knowledge bases/ontologies.

Submittion and Evaluation: Create a system and submit the output results. Our system will evaluate using following metrics: Image: 500 pixels

Impact: LOV4IoT is a valuable resource combining semantic-based projects relevant to IoT. This task motivates the participating team to develop an NLP system over this inter-linked IoT vocabulary in order to identify named entities and linked entities across various semantic related projects. This task will be leveraged by a question answering system for providing better insights to user queries.

Audience: Natural Language Processing (NLP) Experts

Challenge Task 2.2: Q/A System (Challenge Task 2: Creating a System for extracting named entities using Healthcare Knowledge Sources and a Q/A System over it)

Definition: In this Question Answering task, the participant will be required to provide a response to a natural language question along with the relevant tweet ID and the model that does the answering. In order to complete this task, the participant has to leverage their Named Entity Recognition (NER) module developed in Task 2.1. Furthermore, one can utilize some existing knowledge sources (e.g. SNOMED, Dbpedia, etc.) to enhance the efficiency of their model. As a part of this task, the participant will have access to 25 natural language questions on which they can create their model. The submitted results will be evaluated with the model submitted as a part of this task.

Input for this task: A natural language question and the NER module created by the participant in Task 2.1.

Output for this task: Responses to the natural language question and the system that does the answering.

Impact: Question Answering (Q/A) system have been an apogee of research in deep learning and linked open data. This system provides the user an interactional framework showing the expressive potential to query linked open data while keeping the complexity in the back-end. There has been little research in developing a Q/A system over an IoT linked open data. This is because there is less influence of IoT within semantic web community. LOV4IoT provides a heterogeneous IoT data lake over which the participants have to create Q/A paradigm for gleaning relevant insights using some state-of-the-art approaches in the domain of Q/A. This challenge will create an impact on the community of semantic web of things by providing a system that leverages natural language processing and IoT-RDF data. These challenges aim to promote deep innovations in IoT related research leading to improve human's life.

Audience: Natural Language Processing (NLP) Experts, Semantic Web Experts (RDF, RDFS, OWL, SPARQL).

An Illustrative Example for this Question Answering Task along with a naive procedure

  • Input Question: Does dupilumab control asthma ?
  • Answer: Yes
  • Relevant Tweet: Patients with severely uncontrolled asthma derive the most benefit from dupilumab

Evaluation : Image:200 pixels

Naive Procedure:

  • Tokenization: Split the input into tokens. Since the input is a "Question", one can generate tokens of the question.
  • POS Tagging: Part of speech tagging is one of the fundamental procedure for identifying Nouns, Verbs, Adjectives, Adverb etc. in the sentence. Once they are identified, this procedure tags tokens with POS tags.
  • Regular Expression Parser: After tagging, one can define a regular expression for identifying the required n-gram from the text. For example : {<NNP.?>*<VB.?>*<NN>}
  • After Parsing, one can identify the candidate entities and relations. These ground truth entities and relations can be validated against publicly available knowledge sources (for example SNOMED, Dbpedia, etc.) to transform candidates into proper entities and relations.
  • Once the entities and relations are identified, the tweets exhibiting these entities and relation pairs are extracted. After the extraction of question-related tweets, one can identify the responses to the question. This entire pipeline of Question answering can be converted into a learning model for the healthcare related tweets.

An alternative approach for the completion of this task:

The participant is allowed to store their results in Task 2.1 in an RDF format and can convert the natural language question to a SPARQL form for generating the output of this task. Some helpful pointers for this task:
Quepy (http://quepy.machinalis.com), RDFlib (https://github.com/RDFLib/rdflib).
