Main research findings

Knowledge graphs are a popular structure to store information for systems of artificial intelligence. The graphs are used by software applications for different purposes, especially in critical domains such as health care or robotics. Trust in the behavior of such applications is crucial. This thesis presents novel and effective methods to find errors in applications working with knowledge graphs. This provides researchers and developers in the area with new ways to test their applications. Thus, these methods can increase the trust in such applications and contribute to their wider adoption.
