This is the third year the Food Nutritional Composition (FNC) track participates in an OAEI campaign. We are glad to be part of it and would like to thank everyone who has supported us along the way.
This year three systems registered on this track, each of which was used for evaluation with the test case of the Food benchmark :
We have collected all generated alignments and made them available in a zip-file via the following link. These alignments are the raw results that the following report is based on.
The following results were obtained for the participating matching systems in the OAEI campaign 2024 within the FNC track.
Results for "equal" relation (Test case food v2):
| System | Correspondences | Precision | Recall | F1-Measure | Time [s] |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| LogMapLite | 15 | 0.1333 | 0.0274 | 0.0454 | 7 |
| LogMap | 15 | 0.1333 | 0.0274 | 0.0454 | 20 |
| Matcha | 360 | 0.0611 | 0.3013 | 0.1016 | 47 |
Results for "subclass" relation (Test Case food v2sub):
| System | Correspondences | Precision | Recall | F1-Measure | Time [s] |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| LogMapLite | 15 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 7 |
| LogMap | 15 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 17 |
| Matcha | 360 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 49 |
The test case food v2 evaluates matching systems regarding their capability to find "equal" (=), correspondences between the CIQUAL ontology and the SIREN ontology. The test case food v2sub evaluates matching systems regarding their capability to find "subclass" relation (<) between the CIQUAL ontology and the SIREN ontology. All evaluated systems compute the alignment in less than a minute except OLaLa. LogMapLite stands out for its very fast calculation time of 6s. LogMap and LogMapLite have better precision than Matcha. However, LogMap’s recall is 10 times less than Matcha’s one. Matcha is the best performing participant in the FNC test case in terms of recall and F1-measure.
Unfortunately, none of the evaluated matchers finds all reference correspondences correctly. LogMapLite stands out for its very fast computing speed. Matcha obtains the best results for the FNC application. The usage of background knowledge available in CIQUAL and SIREN ontologies in terms of food description based on FoodON concepts [1] should be considered in future OAEI campaigns .
