A PoC of Dialog System With Graph Database Backed Knowledge Graph.
Project description
Siwi the voice assistant
Siwi (/ˈsɪwi/) is a PoC of Dialog System With Graph Database Backed Knowledge Graph.
For now, it's a demo for task-driven(not general purpose) dialog bots with KG(Knowledge Graph) leveraging Nebula Graph with the minimal/sample dataset from Nebula Graph Manual/ NG中文手册.
Tips: Now you can play with the graph online without installing yourself!
Supported queries:
relation:
- What is the relationship between Yao Ming and Lakers?
- How does Yao Ming and Lakers connected?
serving:
- Which team had Yao Ming served?
friendship:
- Whom does Tim Duncan follow?
- Who are Yao Ming's friends?
Deploy and Try
You can try with it from scratch here: https://katacoda.com/wey/scenarios/siwi-kgqa
How does it work?
This is one of the most naive pipeline for a specific domain/ single purpose chat bot built on a Knowledge Graph.
Backend
The Backend(Siwi API) is a Flask based API server:
-
Flask API server takes questions in HTTP POST, and calls the bot API.
-
In bot API part there are classfier(Symentic Parsing, Intent Matching, Slot Filling), and question actors(Call corresponding actions to query Knowledge Graph with intents and slots).
-
Knowledge Graph is built on an Open-Source Graph Database: Nebula Graph
Frontend
The Frontend is a VueJS Single Page Applicaiton(SPA):
- I reused a Vue Bot UI to showcase a chat window in this human-agent interaction, typing is supported.
- In addtion, leverating Chrome's Web Speech API, a button to listen to human voice is introduced

Manually Run Components
Graph Database
The backend relis on the Nebula Graph, an Open Source Distributed Graph Database.
Install Nebula Graph in oneliner:
curl -fsSL nebula-up.siwei.io/install.sh | bash
Load the basketballplayer dataset.
~/.nebula-up/console.sh
nebula-console -addr graphd -port 9669 -user root -p nebula -e ":play basketballplayer"
Backend
Install and run.
# Install siwi backend
python3 -m build
# Configure Nebula Graph Endpoint
export NG_ENDPOINTS=127.0.0.1:9669
# Run Backend API server
gunicorn --bind :5000 wsgi --workers 1 --threads 1 --timeout 60
For OpenFunction/ KNative
docker build -t weygu/siwi-api .
docker run --rm --name siwi-api \
--env=PORT=5000 \
--env=NG_ENDPOINTS=127.0.0.1:9669 \
--net=host \
weygu/siwi-api
Try it out Web API:
$ curl -s --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
--request POST \
--data '{"question": "What is the relationship between Yao Ming and Lakers?"}' \
http://192.168.8.128:5000/query | jq
{
"answer": "There are at least 23 relations between Yao Ming and Lakers, one relation path is: Yao Ming follows Shaquille O'Neal serves Lakers."
}
Call Bot Python API:
from nebula3.gclient.net import ConnectionPool
from nebula3.Config import Config
# define a config
config = Config()
config.max_connection_pool_size = 10
# init connection pool
connection_pool = ConnectionPool()
# if the given servers are ok, return true, else return false
ok = connection_pool.init([('127.0.0.1', 9669)], config)
# import siwi bot
from siwi.bot import bot
# instantiate a bot
b = bot.SiwiBot(connection_pool)
# make the question query
b.query("Which team had Jonathon Simmons served?")
Then a response will be like this:
In [4]: b.query("Which team had Jonathon Simmons serv
...: ed?")
[DEBUG] ServeAction intent: {'entities': {'Jonathon Simmons': 'player'}, 'intents': ('serve',)}
[DEBUG] query for RelationshipAction:
USE basketballplayer;
MATCH p=(v)-[e:serve*1]->(v1) WHERE id(v) == "player112"
RETURN p LIMIT 100;
[2021-07-02 02:59:36,392]:Get connection to ('127.0.0.1', 9669)
Out[4]: 'Jonathon Simmons had served 3 teams. Spurs from 2015 to 2015; 76ers from 2019 to 2019; Magic from 2017 to 2017; '

Assumed we have a k8s with OpenFunctions installed
Run it!
Install a Nebula Graph with kubesphere-all-in-one nebula installer on KubeSphere:
curl -sL nebula-kind.siwei.io/install-ks-1.sh | bash
Get Nebula Graph NodePort:
NEBULA_GRAPH_ENDPOINT=$(kubectl get svc nebula-graphd-svc-nodeport -o yaml -o jsonpath='{.spec.clusterIP}:{.spec.ports[0].port}')
echo $NEBULA_GRAPH_ENDPOINT
Load Dataset into the nebula cluster:
wget https://docs.nebula-graph.io/2.0/basketballplayer-2.X.ngql
~/.nebula-kind/bin/console -u root -p password --address=<nebula-graphd-svc-nodeport> --port=32669 -f basketballplayer-2.X.ngql
Create the siwi-api powered by Openfunction:
cat siwi-api-function.yaml | sed "s/NEBULA_GRAPH_ENDPOINT/$NEBULA_GRAPH_ENDPOINT/g" | kubectl apply -f -
Get the function nebula-siwi and the KNative Service:
kubectl get functions nebula-siwi
FUNCTION=$(kubectl get functions nebula-siwi -o go-template='{{.status.serving.resourceRef}}')
kubectl get ksvc -l openfunction.io/serving=$FUNCTION
KSVC=$(kubectl get ksvc -l openfunction.io/serving=$FUNCTION -o=jsonpath='{.items[0].metadata.name}')
kubectl get revision -l serving.knative.dev/service=$KSVC
REVISION=$(kubectl get revision -l serving.knative.dev/service=$KSVC -o=jsonpath='{.items[0].metadata.name}')
echo $REVISION
Verify the function worked fine:
curl -s --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
--request POST \
--data '{"question": "What is the relationship between Yao Ming and Lakers ?"}' \
$(kubectl get ksvc -l openfunction.io/serving=$FUNCTION -o=jsonpath='{.items[0].status.url}')/query
Create the siwi-app resources on K8s:
cat siwi-app.yaml | sed "s/REVISION/$REVISION/g" | kubectl apply -f -
Verify the function worked fine through the ingress:
Here nodeport with http port 31059 was used as ingress controller endpoint.
curl -s --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
--request POST \
--data '{"question": "how does Tim Duncan and Lakers connected?"}' \
demo-siwi.local:31059/query
Verify the frontend:
curl $(kubectl get svc -l app=siwi -o=jsonpath='{.items[0].spec.clusterIP}')
Verify the frontend beind the ingress:
curl demo-siwi.local:31059
Get all resources in siwi-app:
kubectl get service,pod,ingress,function -l app=siwi
And it should be something like this:
[root@wey nebula-siwi]# kubectl get service,pod,ingress,function -l app=siwi
NAME TYPE CLUSTER-IP EXTERNAL-IP PORT(S) AGE

How to Build the image
docker build -t weygu/siwi-frontend . -f Dockerfile.froentend
docker push weygu/siwi-frontend
Further work
- Use NBA-API to fallback undefined pattern questions
- Wrap and manage sessions instead of get and release session per request, this is somehow costly actually.
- Use NLP methods to implement proper Symentic Parsing, Intent Matching, Slot Filling
- Build Graph to help with Intent Matching, especially for a general purpose bot
- Use larger Dataset i.e. from wyattowalsh/basketball
Thanks to Upstream Projects ❤️
