The lifecycle of "facts": a survey of social bias in knowledge graphs – interview with Angelie Kraft

In their paper The Lifecycle of "Facts": A Survey of Social Bias in Knowledge Graphs, Angelie Kraft and Ricardo Usbeck conducted a critical analysis of literature concerning biases at different steps of a knowledge graph lifecycle. Here, Angelie tells us more about knowledge graphs, how social biases become embedded in them, and what researchers can do to mitigate this. We wanted to understand where and how social biases enter knowledge graphs and how they take effect. To achieve this, we conducted a literature survey that considered a knowledge graph's full lifecycle, from creation to application. Knowledge graphs can be used to represent factual information in a structured way.
