Julia Gastinger

Research Scientist at Nec Laboratories Europe and PhD Student at University of Mannheim

Hi, I’m Julia.

I’m a research scientist at NEC Laboratories Europe and a second year Ph.D. student in the Data and Web Science Group at the University of Mannheim, under the supervision of Professor Heiner Stuckenschmidt.

My primary research focus revolves around temporal Knowledge Graphs. Specifically, I am intrigued by temporal Knowledge Graph Forecasting and the evaluation of methods in this research domain. Prior to my position at NEC Laboratories Europe, I completed a master’s degree in Engineering Cybernetics at the University of Stuttgart, specializing in Autonomous Systems and Control Theory.

Besides research, I like music, food, and boats.

History repeats itself: A Baseline for Temporal Knowledge Graph Forecasting at IJCAI 2024

  • Our* Paper History repeats itself: A Baseline for Temporal Knowledge Graph Forecasting was accepted at IJCAI 2024. *Julia Gastinger, Christian Meilicke, Federico Errica, Timo Sztyler, Anett Schuelke, Heiner Stuckenschmidt
  • We propose a baseline for TKG Foreacsting based on the simple principle of recurrency. Surprisingly, this simple approach beats state of the art methods on 3 out of 5 commonly used datasets!
  • Paper, Code, Supplementary Material

I’m going to Montréal!

  • In spring 2024 I will do a 2-month research internship at Mila - Quebec AI Institute and University of Montréal, supervised by Prof. Guillaume Rabusseau.
  • During the internship I work on benchmarking Temporal Knowledge Graph Forecasting Methods.
  • Further, I focus on eating as many different Poutines as possible - yeahi.

Comparing Apples and Oranges? On the Evaluation of Methods for Temporal Knowledge Graph Forecasting at ECML PKDD 2023

  • Our* Paper Comparing Apples and Oranges? On the Evaluation of Methods for Temporal Knowledge Graph Forecasting was accepted at ECML PKDD 2023. *Julia Gastinger, Timo Sztyler, Lokesh Sharma, Anett Schuelke, Heiner Stuckenschmidt
  • In this work we focus on the evaluation of TKG Forecasting models: we highlight existing issues, propose a unified evaluation protocol, and apply it to re-evaluate state-of-the-art models.
  • Paper, Code, Supplementary Material

Temporal Graph Learning Reading Group

If you share an interest in Temporal Graph Learning, I invite you to check out and join our Temporal Graph Reading Group. We meet every Thursday at 11 am EDT (5 pm CST) on Zoom, where authors of insightful and recent Temporal Graph Learning Papers present their work. The reading group is organized by Shenyang (Andy) Huang, Farimah Poursafaei, and myself.
