Mr. Prasanna Karandikar [email protected] Support 6 From Chief Editor’s Desk It gives me and my team an immense pleasure to present this book of E-abstracts in the International Science Fiction Conference-2020. Science Fiction is comparatively a modern genre of literature devoted to scientific writings. It is said to have a social goal of predicting the future. To be precise, it helps in connecting the present with the future. Reading science fiction enables us to reflect on the ways people interact with each other, with technology, with our environment. This conference held is unique in the sense that all the sessions were virtually conducted in a completely pre-recorded form. All presenters presented their papers in the form of video recording. In the conference, under 14 sessions devoted to various themes like Authors narrate stories, Story Reading, Ecology and Science Fiction, Science Fiction Movies, Science Fiction stories from languages other than English (Kannada and Hindi) etc, very scholarly papers were presented, which I am sure, the readers will enjoy. In this book, we have presented the abstracts as a glimpse of works presented during the conference. We are all thankful to the organisers of the conference to give us the opportunity to edit this E-book. Thanks to all my team of editors for their cooperation! Dr. Anjali Naik Chief Editor 7 IASFS/SF/001 Gerard Deepak, Pushpa C N, Ayush Kumar, Thriveni J, Venugopal K R Department of Computer Science and Engineering National Institute of Technology, Tiruchirappalli UVCE, Bangalore University Vice Chancellor, Bangalore University, Bangalore Artificial Intelligence DLKIA: A Deep Neural Network Based Knowledge Integration Approach for Knowledge Base Generation for Science Fiction as a Domain Automatic Knowledge Base Generation is quite important and is a prerequisite for several information systems in the current era where most of the applications are knowledge centred. The availability of extensive amount of data and the non-availability of knowledge makes it quite cumbersome for information systems for reasoning and inferencing. Knowledge Representation and Reasoning is quite essential in the era of Symbolic Artificial Intelligence and Collective Artificial Intelligence. A knowledge integration framework based on a Recursive Deep Neural Network has been proposed to densely populate the Entities in the existing Science Fiction Ontology based on several heterogenous dynamic knowledge sources based on SPARQL based querying and closed word semantics. Apart from this, an Entity Graph based inferential reasoning scheme has been instilled into the approach. A massive Knowledge Base for Science Fiction as an Independent Domain has been generated and a Domain Compliance F-Measure of 97.86% has been achieved for the proposed approach.
