Device and computer implemented method for adding a quantity fact to a knowledge base

A device for filling a knowledge base, the knowledge base being a knowledge graph, the device comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• at least one non-transitory memory;
• wherein the at least one memory is configured to store an embedding of a knowledge base and a textual resource, and stores instructions for adding a quantity fact to a knowledge base, the knowledge base being a knowledge graph, the instructions, when executed by a processor, causing the processor to perform the following steps:
• providing the knowledge base,
• providing a textual resource,
• providing an entity from the knowledge base,
• providing a relation from the knowledge base,
• providing a set of different units,
• determining a quantity including a unit within the set of different units that is within the textual resource depending on the entity, the relation, and the set of different units,
• determining a quantity fact including the entity, the relation, the quantity, and the unit, and
• adding the quantity fact to the knowledge base.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium on which is stored a computer program including computer readable instructions for adding a quantity fact to a knowledge base, the knowledge base being a knowledge graph, the instructions, when executed by a processor, causing the processor to perform the following steps:

• providing the knowledge base;
• providing a textual resource;
• providing an entity from the knowledge base;
• providing a relation from the knowledge base;
• providing a set of different units;
• determining a quantity including a unit within the set of different units that is within the textual resource depending on the entity, the relation, and the set of different units;
• and
• determining a quantity fact including the entity, the relation, the quantity, and the unit;
• and
• adding the quantity fact to the knowledge base.
