We present the ARCHIMEDES system for efficient query processing over probabilistic knowledge bases. We design ARCHIMEDES for knowledge bases containing incomplete and uncertain information due to limitations of information sources and human knowledge. Answering queries over these knowledge bases requires efficient probabilistic inference. In this paper, we describe ARCHIMEDES’s efficient knowledge expansion and query-driven inference over UDA-GIST, an in-database unified data- and graph-parallel computation framework. With an efficient inference engine, ARCHIMEDES produces reasonable results for queries over large uncertain knowledge bases. We use the Reverb-Sherlock and Wikilinks knowledge bases to show ARCHIMEDES achieves satisfactory quality with real-time performance.
