Abstract
Knowledge graph completion (KGC) aims to infer missing facts in knowledge graphs (KGs), thereby improving their completeness and supporting downstream intelligent applications. However, emerging entities and relations in real-world deployments make inductive KGC difficult, especially under few-shot and zero-shot settings. Multimodal information and Large Language Model (LLM)-derived priors can enrich sparse relational contexts, but they may also introduce noisy or hallucinated evidence. To address these issues, we propose DuPLeR, a \textbf{Du}al-\textbf{P}ath \textbf{L}LM \textbf{R}easoning framework for multimodal few-shot KGC. DuPLeR builds a calibrated relation graph by combining multimodal LLM-derived type priors with factual support structures, and performs dual-level structural reasoning over the refined relation topology. Moreover, a dual-pathway multimodal enhancement module regulates message passing with query-relevant multimodal signals and supplements entity representations after graph propagation. Experiments on eight inductive variants of two multimodal KG (MMKG) benchmarks show that DuPLeR achieves robust performance in data-scarce KGC scenarios.
ViSR-KGC, a visual subgraph reasoning approach for KGC, integrates three complementary capabilities to capture semantic correlations: identifying global topology dependencies via representation learning, analyzing local multimodal evidence using VLMs, and providing necessary commonsense knowledge inherent in pre-trained models.

This framework performs LLM knowledge elicitation to extract factual knowledge from the model’s internal representations and transforms sentence-level representations into entity-level representations and aligns them within a unified space.

This paper proposes an enhanced GraphRAG framework that integrates a transformer-based Multi-Hop Knowledge Graph Completion (KGC) model directly into the retrieval pipeline, and provides substantial gains in answer quality and reasoning capability for queries involving indirect dependencies not explicitly encoded in the original graph.

Question-answering often requires reasoning across multiple connected facts rather than retrieving a single isolated relation. Knowledge graphs (KGs) provide a structured way to represent such facts, but training large language models (LLMs) only on isolated KG head-relation-tail triples may limit their ability to learn the surrounding context needed for multi-hop reasoning. In this work, we propose a context-augmented training framework for multi-hop question-answering. Although generally applicable, we validate the framework in the context of disease-specific KGs, extracted using a reliable KG extraction framework called GraphMERT, for Gastroparesis and Diabetes. For each primary KG triple, we attach supporting triples extracted from the same source text chunk to form a context graph (CG). This creates two supervision settings: KG-grounded supervision, which uses only the target KG triple or path, and CG-grounded supervision, which uses the target KG triple or path together with supporting context triples. We train the Qwen3-14B model using supervised fine-tuning (SFT) under both settings, producing KGModel and CGModel variants. To strengthen the lower-hop factual foundation of the models, we introduce an LLM-judged, history-aware adaptive repair pipeline that identifies unresolved one-hop failures, continually fine-tunes on targeted repair examples, and removes or quarantines problematic noisy triples. This repair stage enables the models to reach 100% accuracy on the cleaned retained one-hop validation sets. Finally, we employ reinforcement learning (RL) using lower-hop question-answer items and evaluate generalization on harder 3-hop, 4-hop, and 5-hop tasks. Across both diseases, context-augmented supervision consistently improves multi-hop performance over KG-only supervision. RL initialized from repaired SFT checkpoints yields larger and more stable gains.
Fashion is a knowledge-intensive domain in which effective decision-making depends on integrating multiple types of knowledge. Although Large Language Models (LLMs) have transformed many areas, their application in fashion remains limited by hallucinations and weak domain specialization. Knowledge Graph (KG)-based Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) offers a promising way to add structured knowledge to LLMs. However, existing fashion KGs are typically restricted to product-level attributes or item relations, and fail to capture the broader fashion ecosystem. To bridge these gaps, we propose \textbf{FashionEcoKG}, a comprehensive, domain-wide knowledge graph built with expert-level precision and professionalism. It is constructed through a three-stage agentic pipeline that extracts high-fidelity knowledge cores from authoritative textbooks and strengthens structural connectivity through cross-domain augmentation and generative expansion. To leverage this resource, we further develop \textbf{PG-RAG} (Pruning-Grounding RAG), a training-free framework designed to handle the conceptual density and linguistic noise of fashion queries. Specifically, we introduce a Dual-Granularity Path Re-Ranking (DGPR) module of two stages. The Pruning-based Semantic Ranking (PSR) module distills each query into a skeleton form to improve retrieval recall, while the Grounding-based Agentic Ranking (GAR) performs point-wise scrutiny of candidate paths against the original full query to ensure global relevance. Experiments on a curated fashion QA dataset show that PG-RAG effectively leverages FashionEcoKG to improve retrieval and answer accuracy, outperforming both non-RAG and existing KG-RAG baselines.

Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) is widely used to mitigate hallucination issues in large language models (LLMs) and multimodal large language models (MLLMs). In particular, knowledge graph (KG)-based RAG leverages structured knowledge to provide (M)LLMs with high-quality external information. Building on these works, recent studies have explored multimodal knowledge graphs (MMKGs) as knowledge bases for GraphRAG. This enables Graph RAG to integrate knowledge across multiple modalities, thereby further enhancing its performance. However, existing MMKG-based RAG methods generally follow a common pipeline in which different modalities are largely processed independently before being fusion. As a result, textual context is only used to a limited extent during visual information extraction and subsequent multimodal knowledge fusion. This brings a semantic gap between images and text which limits the multimodal GraphRAG performance. To address this issue, we propose a novel framework for constructing a Context-Enhanced MMKG (CEMMKG) to better support multimodal GraphRAG. The proposed CEMMKG enriches each image with complementary textual context at both local and global scopes. Local context goes beyond the surrounding text by incorporating sentences that are semantically related to the image, while global context provides a summary of the entire passage. We further introduce a multi-granularity design for the local context, allowing it to capture semantically relevant information at different levels of detail. Extensive experiments on the selected vision-centric dataset validate that CEMMKG is effective in leveraging contextual information to improve MMKG-based RAG performance. Moreover, its effectiveness across different MMKG-based RAG methods demonstrates its broad applicability.
