Welcome to the world of Falcon 2.0, an innovative tool designed for entity and relation linking over Wikidata! This blog post will guide you through the essential steps to get started using Falcon 2.0, including installation, configuration, and usage. Let’s dive into the details!

Step 1: Installation Essentials

Before we can harness the power of Falcon 2.0, we need to install the necessary libraries as specified in the requirements.txt file. You can easily do this with the following command:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Step 2: Setting Up Elasticsearch

Next, we need to set up Elasticsearch, which is crucial for interacting with the Wikidata Dump:

• Download the ElasticSearch dump from here.
• Import the ElasticSearch dump using elasticdump with the following commands:

elasticdump --output=http://localhost:9200/wikidataentityindex --input=wikidataentity.json --type=data
elasticdump --output=http://localhost:9200/wikidatapropertyindex --input=wikidatapropertyindex.json --type=data

Step 3: Configuring the Elasticsearch and Wikidata Endpoints

It’s important to configure the endpoints for Elasticsearch and Wikidata:

• To change your Elasticsearch endpoint, edit ElasticsearchIndex.py and ElasticaddIndex.py:

es = Elasticsearch([http://localhost:9200])

• For the Wikidata SPARQL endpoint, modify main.py:

wikidataSPARQL = ...

Step 4: Running Falcon 2.0

Once your setup is complete, you’re ready to run Falcon 2.0. Simply call the function:

process_text_E_R(question)

Replace question with the short text you want to process.

Step 5: Evaluating Falcon 2.0

For evaluation, three datasets can be leveraged:

• SimpleQuestion dataset
• LC-QuAD 2.0
• WebQSP-WD dataset

For reproducing the results, use evaluateFalconAPI.py and evaluateFalconAPI_entities.py.

Understanding the Code: An Analogy

Think of Falcon 2.0 like a skilled librarian in a vast library (Wikidata). When you ask the librarian a question (the short text), they use their knowledge (the entity and relation linking algorithms) to pull relevant books (entities and relations) from the shelves (the Elasticsearch indices) to provide you the best answers. Just like the librarian knows how to categorize and connect information, Falcon 2.0 uses advanced algorithms to connect questions to their answers effectively, ensuring a seamless flow of information.

Troubleshooting

If you face any issues during the installation or while running Falcon 2.0:

• Ensure all required libraries are installed correctly.
• Check your Elasticsearch and Wikidata endpoint configurations for accuracy.
• Refer to Falcon’s documentation for any particular error messages you encounter.
