However, most knowledge bases are incomplete, which can cause many downstream applications to perform poorly because they cannot find the corresponding facts in the knowledge bases. In this paper, we propose an extraction and verification framework to enrich the knowledge bases. Specifically, based on the existing knowledge base, we first extract new facts from the description texts of entities. But not all newly-formed facts can be added directly to the knowledge base because the errors might be involved by the extraction. Then we propose a novel crowd-sourcing based verification step to verify the candidate facts. Finally, we apply this framework to the existing knowledge base CN-DBpedia and construct a new version of knowledge base CN-DBpedia2, which additionally contains the high confidence facts extracted from the description texts of entities.展开更多

However, symmetry in the world trade network （WTN） has been rarely studied so far. In this paper, the authors systematically explore the symmetry in WTN. The authors construct WTN in 2005 and explore the size and structure of its automorphism group, through which the authors find that WTN is symmetric, particularly, locally symmetric to a certain degree. Furthermore, the authors work out the symmetric motifs of WTN and investigate the structure and function of the symmetric motifs, coming to the conclusion that local symmetry will have great effect on the stability of the WTN and that continuous symmetry-breakings will generate complexity and diversity of the trade network. Finally, utilizing the local symmetry of the network, the authors work out the quotient of WTN, which is the structural skeleton dominating stability and evolution of WTN.展开更多
