TL;DR

The proposed InductWave, a wavelet-based inductive embedding method for logical query answering on large KGs, performs on par with the baseline models while having half the number of message-passing layers, and outperforms all of them in most cases.

Abstract

Logical Multi-Hop Query Answering over Knowledge Graphs (KGs) can be formulated as querying, with an implicit completeness assumption. Current works mainly focus on Existential First Order Logic (EFO) queries. These EFO queries contain conjunction, disjunction, and negation operators. Most existing works employ transductive reasoning, meaning they are not capable of reasoning over entities unseen during training. In the real world, there is a resource scarcity, and we cannot train a model with all the nodes of a large KG. Hence, we propose InductWave, a wavelet-based inductive embedding method for logical query answering on large KGs. Here, the training graph consists of fewer nodes than the test graph. Our model performs on par with the baseline models while having half the number of message-passing layers. It outperforms all of them in most cases, with 75% of the layers. These fewer resource requirements enable us to evaluate InductWave on massive graphs, such as Wiki-KG. We test our model using extensive experiments across varying train-test graph proportions of the FB15k-(237) dataset, comparing it with the state-of-the-art models. The code and datasets for the model are available at https://github.com/kracr/inductwave/.

Constrained Entity Selection Under Partial Knowledge for LLM-Based Knowledge Graph QA

Experiments show that precision improves by filtering invalid candidates, while recall is preserved due to retaining candidates whose constraints are not explicitly violated, and a three-valued constraint semantics that avoids incorrect rejections under open-world assumptions.

Compositional Chain-of-Relations for Faithful Knowledge Graph Question Answering with Large Language Models

A relation-centric exploration paradigm is introduced, which uses relations rather than entities as search units and thus avoids unreliable entity pruning and proposes Compositional Chain-of-Relations (CCoR), a simple and effective framework that grounds both phases in the KG with two relation chains.
