Information retrieval based knowledge base question answering (KBQA) first retrieves a subgraph to reduce search space, then reasons on the subgraph to select answer entities. Existing approaches have three issues that impede the retrieval of such subgraphs. Firstly, there is no off-the-shelf toolkit for semantic-relevant subgraph retrieval. Secondly, existing methods are knowledge-graph-dependent, resulting in outdated knowledge graphs used even in recent studies. Thirdly, previous solutions fail to incorporate the best available techniques for entity linking or path expansion. In this paper, we present SRTK, a user-friendly toolkit for semantic-relevant subgraph retrieval from large-scale knowledge graphs. SRTK is the first toolkit that streamlines the entire lifecycle of subgraph retrieval across multiple knowledge graphs. Additionally, it comes with state-of-the-art subgraph retrieval algorithms, guaranteeing an up-to-date solution set out of the box.
