Deep learning has brought significant progress to medical image classification, yet most existing methods still rely on isolated visual evidence and cannot effectively leverage similar cases or external knowledge. In clinical practice, diagnosis is typically supported by historical similar cases and their associated symptoms. To simulate this diagnostic process, we propose a framework that performs case-aware reasoning using multimodal knowledge graphs for explainable medical image diagnosis. Given an input image, our method constructs a multimodal knowledge graph from adaptively retrieved similar cases, enabling more effective utilization of related samples. We further introduce a knowledge propagation and injection mechanism, where an image-centric Graph Attention Network propagates knowledge semantics to obtain case-based features, followed by a bidirectional cross-modal attention mechanism that injects these features into visual representations for cross-modal alignment. To mitigate noisy retrieval, we design a confidence-calibrated decision refinement scheme that estimates the reliability of each retrieved case by jointly considering prediction confidence and sample similarity, adaptively adjusting its contribution to the final prediction and providing interpretable case-level evidence. Extensive experiments on multiple medical imaging datasets show that our approach consistently outperforms strong baselines, and ablation studies validate the effectiveness of each component.

The exponential growth of global academic output has confronted researchers and AI agents with an unprecedented ``information explosion,'' where fragmented and unstructured knowledge organization impedes deep interdisciplinary integration. Current academic retrieval tools predominantly rely on superficial keyword matching or vector-space semantic retrieval, which lack the topological reasoning capabilities required to navigate complex logical connections. Agentic deep-research-based frameworks are often prone to logical hallucinations and consuming high inference costs. To bridge this gap, in this report, we introduce SciAtlas, a large-scale, multi-disciplinary, heterogeneous academic resource knowledge graph designed as a panoramic scientific evolution network. By integrating over 43M papers from 26 disciplines, and a total of 157M entities and 3B triplets, SciAtlas provides a structured topological cognitive substrate that dismantles disciplinary barriers and furnishes AI agents with a global perspective. Furthermore, we develop a neuro-symbolic retrieval algorithm featuring tri-path collaborative recall and graph reranking, achieving a seamless transition from simple semantic matching to deterministic association discovery. We also present key application directions of SciAtlas, including literature review, automated research trend synthesis, idea positioning, and academic trajectory exploration, to demonstrate that SciAtlas can serve as an effective ``cognitive map'' to empower the full loop of automated scientific research while significantly reducing reasoning costs. We have released the interfaces for KG retrieval and various downstream tasks in our GitHub repo.

Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly used for writing assistance in small contact languages, yet it is unclear whether they respect community norms around lexical borrowing and neology. We introduce LexNeo-Bench, a 3{,}050-instance token-level benchmark derived from LuxBorrow, a large-scale Luxembourgish news corpus, where target tokens are labelled as native or as French, German, or English borrowings. Using this benchmark, we probe three multilingual LLMs across 34 prompt settings on two tasks: borrowing type classification and a binary lexical-innovation proxy (borrowing versus native). Without external context, models perform only slightly above chance on borrowing classification, so we construct a linguistic knowledge graph that encodes donor language, morphological patterns, and lexical analogues, and inject instance-specific subgraphs into the prompt. Knowledge-graph prompts raise borrowing classification accuracy from 25 -- 35\% up to 71 -- 81\% and largely close the gap between small and large models, while leaving neology detection difficult and sensitive to few-shot design. Our results show that lexicon-aware prompting is highly beneficial for robust borrowing judgments in low-resource contact languages and that lexical resources can serve as structured context for LLM evaluation. This study was carried out within the ENEOLI COST Action and examines borrowing as a form of lexical innovation in multilingual Luxembourgish data.

Graph-based Retrieval Augmented Generation (GraphRAG) extends retrieval-augmented generation to support structured reasoning over complex corpora, but its reliability under resource-constrained, privacy-sensitive deployments remains unclear. In healthcare, where Electronic Health Record (EHR) data is complex and strictly regulated, reliance on cloud-based large language models (LLMs) introduces challenges in cost, latency, and compliance. In this work, we present a systematic evaluation of GraphRAG for EHR schema retrieval using locally deployed open-source LLMs. We implement the Microsoft GraphRAG pipeline on real-world EHR schema documentation and benchmark four models, including Llama 3.1 (8B), Mistral (7B), Qwen 2.5 (7B), and Phi-4-mini (3.8B), each deployed via Ollama on a single consumer GPU (8 GB VRAM). We evaluate indexing efficiency, knowledge graph construction, query latency, answer quality, and hallucination under both global and local retrieval modes. Our results reveal substantial differences: Llama 3.1 produces the richest knowledge graph (1,172 entities), Qwen 2.5 achieves the best answer quality (3.3/5), Phi-4-mini fails to complete the pipeline due to structured-output errors, and Mistral exhibits degenerate repetition behavior. We further show that GraphRAG exhibits a practical capacity threshold, where models below approximately 7B parameters fail to reliably produce valid structured outputs and cannot complete the pipeline. In addition, indexing and answer quality are decoupled across models, and local retrieval consistently outperforms global summarization in both latency and factual grounding, with reduced hallucination. These findings demonstrate that GraphRAG is feasible on consumer hardware while highlighting the importance of model selection and retrieval design for robust deployment in regulated settings.

Large language models (LLMs), have shown strong potential in scientific discovery, yet existing methods still face substantial challenges in the design of research workflows and multi-role collaboration mechanisms. To mitigate these issues, we propose EvoSci, a multi-agent scientific collaboration framework, which integrates bio-inspired evolution with knowledge graph modeling. To iteratively generate, evaluate, and refine research ideas, EvoSci incorporates multiple role-based agents, including mentor, researcher, and reviewer. By combining collaborative reasoning, shared memory, and evolutionary feedback, EvoSci significantly enhances the coherence and creativity of scientific exploration. Experiments on real-world research topics demonstrate that EvoSci significantly outperforms strong baselines in LLM-based structured peer-review and comparative ranking evaluations, achieving the highest overall peer-review score (ICLR 4.90) and top ranking (Top-10 = 54). These results suggest its superiority in both scientific idea generation and continuous discovery.

Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) has become foundational for grounding large language models in domain-specific corpora, yet conventional vector-based RAG systems are fundamentally limited in their ability to capture the structured, multi-entity relationships that underpin financial market analysis. This paper presents a comprehensive comparative study of a novel two-hop Graph-RAG architecture versus a standard vector-only baseline for cross-entity financial sentiment analysis. Our system constructs a sentiment-weighted knowledge graph of 59 equity entities from 255 news articles covering 10 major technology stocks, then augments dense retrieval with intensity-filtered graph traversal over INFLUENCES edges to surface relational evidence inaccessible to vector search alone. We evaluate both architectures on 100 grounded queries (30 Direct, 70 Relational) using semantic similarity, entity recall, RAGAS metrics, latency benchmarks, and ablation studies. Graph-RAG achieves a statistically significant improvement in entity recall (+6.4%, p < 0.001, Wilcoxon signed-rank) and delivers substantially more relevant answers for complex multi-entity queries (+11.7% Answer Relevancy), with gains concentrating in relational question types (+16.1%). Critically, these improvements come at no measurable cost to answer quality (delta = +0.001 semantic similarity, Cohen's d = 0.078), with a modest 22.6% increase in mean latency offset by an 80% reduction in latency variance. An ablation study on the graph traversal intensity threshold reveals an inverted-U relationship with answer quality, identifying tau = 0.5 as optimal over the production default of tau = 0.7. These findings characterize a precision-for-coverage trade-off inherent to graph-augmented retrieval and provide actionable architectural guidance for practitioners building RAG systems for multi-entity financial analysis.

Modern Large Language Models (LLMs) have shown impressive performances in user-facing tasks such as question answering, as well as consistent improvements in reasoning capabilities. Still, the way these models encode knowledge seems inherently flawed: by design, LLMs encode world-knowledge within their parameters. This way of representing knowledge is inherently opaque, difficult to debug and update, and prone to hallucinations. On the other hand, Knowledge Graphs can provide human-readable and easily editable world knowledge representations, and their application in knowledge-intensive tasks has consistently proven beneficial to downstream performance. Nonetheless, current integration techniques require extensive retraining or finetuning. To overcome this issue, we introduce KoRe, a methodology to encode 1-hop sub-graphs into compact discrete knowledge tokens and inject them into a LLM backbone. We test the proposed approach on three established benchmarks, and report competitive performances coupled with a significant reduction (up to 10x) in token usage. Our results show that compact discrete KG representations can efficiently and effectively be used to ground modern LLMs.

Knowledge graph question answering seeks to translate natural language questions into executable queries over knowledge graphs, but existing approaches often rely on large models or full supervision in the form of gold query annotations. This study examines whether reinforcement learning with outcome-based rewards can train a small instruction-tuned language model to perform zero-shot Text-to-SPARQL generation in the scholarly domain. Group-Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO) is applied to the Qwen3-1.7B model on DBLP-QuAD, using prompts that combine natural language questions with symbolic hints about entities and relations. Training relies on execution feedback, structural constraints, and answer-level rewards, with an additional variant that incorporates gold-query-based shaping. The resulting models are compared to the unmodified zero-shot baseline and to a supervised DoRA-finetuned baseline across answer-level accuracy, execution accuracy, category-wise scores, and generalization to held-out templates. GRPO substantially improves over the zero-shot baseline and exhibits competitive generalization, while supervised DoRA finetuning achieves higher overall accuracy on the same model scale. Ablation analyses indicate that execution-based rewards account for most gains, with additional shaping yielding limited additional benefit, suggesting that outcome-based reinforcement learning is a viable training strategy when gold queries are unavailable for token-level supervision.

Generating Knowledge Graphs (KGs) remains one of the most time-consuming and labor-intensive tasks for knowledge engineers, as they need to identify semantic equivalences between input data sources and ontology terms. While declarative solutions (e.g., RML, SPARQL-Anything) have helped to generalize this process, aligning input schema elements with ontology terms still involves intricate transformations and requires considerable manual effort. With the advent of Large Language Models (LLMs), there is growing interest in leveraging their capabilities to assist KG engineers. Although some studies have explored using LLMs to automate KG construction, there is still no standardized framework for assessing how effectively they establish correspondences between data schemes and ontology concepts. Therefore, in this paper, we propose BLINKG, a benchmark designed to evaluate the mapping capabilities of LLMs in constructing KGs from heterogeneous data sources. The benchmark includes a set of scenarios with increasing complexity, based on real-world use cases. We conduct an extensive experimental evaluation of several stateof-the-art LLMs using BLINK and observe that they already offer promising solutions. However, their performance remains limited in complex scenarios. Thanks to this benchmark, we can already assess the current capabilities of LLMs for KG construction. Additionally, we define a set of requirements for achieving (semi)automated (LLM-driven) KG construction, opening new research lines in this area.

We present IMLJD, an open dataset of 3,613 Indian court judgments covering matrimonial disputes under IPC Section 498A, the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, and CrPC Section 482. The dataset covers the Supreme Court of India from 2000 to 2024 (1,474 cases) and the Karnataka High Court from 2018 to 2024 (2,139 cases), with structured outcome labels, metadata-derived indicators, and a knowledge graph. We find that 57.6% of quashing petitions succeed at the Supreme Court level compared to 39.7% at the Karnataka High Court level. On a matched 2018 to 2024 period, the SC quash rate is 59.3%, widening the differential to 19.6 percentage points and confirming the finding is robust to temporal adjustment. The dataset, code, and knowledge graph are released openly at this https URL and this https URL.

Survey research faces mounting structural challenges: declining response rates, sample bias, block-wise missingness among at-risk respondents, and AI-assisted fraudulent completions in online panels. Large language models (LLMs) have been proposed as a remedy, yet rigorous evaluations across the full survey workflow remain scarce, particularly in disaster contexts where data quality matters most. We present and evaluate a five-stage framework for LLM integration covering questionnaire design, sample selection, pilot testing, missing-data imputation, and post-collection analysis, using the 2024 Hurricane Milton preparedness survey of Florida residents (n=946) as a shared empirical testbed. We introduce a Protection Motivation Theory (PMT)-constrained co-occurrence knowledge graph and develop seven LLM configurations spanning zero-shot inference, retrieval-augmented baselines, and novel theory-informed variants. Our proposed Anchored Marginal Theory-Informed LLM (A-TLM) outperforms all three classical imputation baselines (IPW/MI, MICE+PMM, missForest) on RMSE under disaster-relevant block-wise MNAR conditions (S4 RMSE 1.439 vs. 1.496 for the next-best), while achieving near-zero signed bias (-0.121) where the random-forest imputer produces the largest absolute bias (-0.631). Organizing retrieval around PMT causal structure and integrating all evidence in a single model call outperforms unstructured retrieval and staged sequential inference (MAE 0.993 vs. 1.097 for standard RAG). We document that near-zero aggregate bias can mask opposing subgroup errors and propose subgroup-stratified bias auditing as a reporting standard. A retrieval-constrained knowledge-graph chatbot demonstrates that hallucination is architecturally manageable through grounded refusal.

Two decades ago, the Semantic Web Services community was asked how agents with different ontological commitments could discover, compose, and invoke web services coherently. The response was OWL-S and WSMO: formally grounded capability descriptions specifying what a service could do, what the agent must already know for invocation to be epistemically sound, and how ontological mismatches could be formally bridged. Current Knowledge Graph (KG) metadata standards such as VoID and DCAT describe what a KG contains yet say nothing about what a specific agent can prove from it, what closure assumptions govern empty results, or whether the agent's task vocabulary is grounded in the schema. Furthermore, in deployed KGs the governing schema DL and the operative entailment regime can diverge: an epistemic failure mode invisible to current metadata. We revisit and extend these insights for the KG setting with a four-dimensional formal framework from which we derive the Agentic Affordance Profile (AAP): a semantic layer above VoID and DCAT enabling principled KG selection, composition, and failure diagnosis at agent planning time. A five-point research agenda identifies the formal, computational, and engineering work needed to realise AAP-based affordance matching at scale.

Long-horizon multimodal agents in open-world games must stay goal-directed across many low-level interactions under tight token and latency budgets. Existing approaches often trade off costly per-step reasoning against reactive execution that can drift, repeat failures, and recover poorly. Our key idea is to reuse strategic reasoning across locally stable segments and reinvoke it at event boundaries. We present SPIKE, an adaptive dual controller framework for cost-efficient long-horizon game control. Its Strategic Controller performs low-frequency global planning, failure analysis, and recovery, while its Reactive Controller handles fast local execution under a strict token budget. An Event Trigger monitors visual change, task progress, repeated actions, and failure signals to decide when control should stay reactive or escalate to strategic reasoning. Hierarchical Memory separates short-term experience reuse in the State-Action Memory Bank (SA-MB) from structured evidence in the State Action Knowledge Graph (SA-KG), allowing each controller to retrieve the context it needs. This design reuses strategic proposals over multiple reactive steps, supports local override when plans become stale, and reserves expensive reasoning for moments where extra deliberation is useful. On the Lite-100 split of StarDojo, SPIKE improves Lite-100 success rate (SR) by 5.0 percentage points (38.5% relative) over the strongest Lite-100 baseline and Budgeted SR by 9.3 points (75.6% relative) over the strongest budgeted baseline. It also reduces token consumption by 54.9% and latency by 40.8%. Ablations show that event triggering, reactive override, and heterogeneous memory each contribute to success and recovery, supporting selective reasoning rather than reasoning at every step.

Cross-domain knowledge alignment is essential for integrating heterogeneous medical systems, yet existing approaches typically treat entity alignment as a static matching problem, ignoring query context and cross-system asymmetry. This limitation is particularly critical in integrative medical settings, where correspondence between concepts is inherently context-dependent, non-bijective, and direction-sensitive. In this paper, we propose Query-Conditioned Entity Alignment (QCEA), which reformulates entity alignment as a query-conditioned correspondence problem. Instead of learning a fixed mapping between entity representations, QCEA treats the textual description of a source entity as a query and ranks candidate entities in the target graph, enabling context-dependent alignment. The framework integrates semantic encoding, graph-based representation learning, and a direction-aware transformation module to capture asymmetric and many-to-many correspondence across heterogeneous knowledge systems. We evaluate QCEA on TCM--WM knowledge graphs derived from SymMap, covering both symptom alignment and herb--molecule alignment tasks. Experimental results show consistent improvements over representative baselines, particularly on rank-sensitive metrics such as Hit@K and MRR. Furthermore, downstream retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) experiments demonstrate that improved alignment leads to better evidence retrieval, stronger grounding, and higher answer accuracy. These findings highlight that alignment is not merely a data integration step, but a key factor that shapes knowledge accessibility and reliability in cross-system medical reasoning.

Accurate vessel estimated-time-of-arrival forecasts are critical for port operations and decarbonization, yet global-scale travel-time prediction remains difficult without costly contextual data. Herein, I present a methodology for constructing a historical maritime knowledge graph using only Automatic Identification System (AIS) data. First, segmented trajectories are extracted from noisy AIS data using a Gaussian-mixture-model-based preprocessing pipeline. The graph is then constructed by iteratively processing the trajectories and storing speed distributions stratified by vessel type, time of travel, and direction of travel; the resulting global graph comprises 5,433 geohash-3 nodes and 12,334 edges. The graph can be queried to retrieve travel-time predictions between any two location via a hierarchical, priority-based system that uses historical statistics with principled fallback. On a temporally held-out test set, median RMSE is 22.75 min (segment-level) and 30.90 min (trajectory-level), with 69.1% of trajectories within 20% of actual arrival time. On a second external test set, median RMSE is 27.36 min (segment-level) and 37.46 min (trajectory-level), with 62.1% of trajectories within 20%. These results corroborate the promise of our method, enabling global travel-time prediction and providing a strong foundation for just-in-time arrival planning and emissions reduction.

We introduce Graph-Augmented Sequence-to-Sequence (GA-S2S), a novel framework that integrates a T5-small encoder-decoder with a Relational Graph Attention Network (RGAT) to improve link prediction in knowledge graphs. While existing Seq2Seq models rely solely on surface-level textual descriptions of entities and relations and at best, flatten the neighborhoods of a query entity into a single linear sequence, thereby discarding the inherent graph structure, GA-S2S jointly encodes both textual features and the full $k$-hop subgraph topology surrounding the query entity. By integrating raw encoder outputs with RGAT's relation-aware embeddings, our model captures and leverages richer multi-hop relational patterns and textual information. Our preliminary experiments on the CoDEx dataset demonstrate that GA-S2S outperforms competitive Seq2Seq-based baseline models, achieving up to a 19\% relative gain in link prediction accuracy.

While Large Language Models have achieved remarkable integration in various vertical scenarios, their deployment in the telecommunications domain remains exploratory due to the lack of a standardized evaluation framework. Current telecom benchmarks primarily focus on static, foundational knowledge and isolated atomic skills, neglecting the equipment-specific documentation and end-to-end industrial workflows essential for real-world production systems. To bridge this gap, we present TeleCom-Bench, a comprehensive benchmark comprising 12 evaluation sets with 22,678 curated samples, which evaluates LLMs across a synergistic hierarchy: (1) Multi-dimensional Knowledge Comprehension, which integrates telecommunication fundamentals, 3GPP protocols, and 5G network architecture with proprietary product knowledge across wired, core, and wireless networks via knowledge graph-driven synthesis; and (2)End-to-End Knowledge Application, which formalizes six core tasks on authentic trajectories from live network agent workflows, including intent recognition, entity extraction, event verification, tool invocation, root cause analysis, and solution generation-across network optimization and fault maintenance scenarios. Evaluations of eight state-of-the-art LLMs reveal a universal Execution Wall: while models achieve 90% accuracy in linguistic interface tasks such as intent recognition and entity extraction, performance collapses to approximately 30% in procedural execution tasks like solution generation. This capability gap demonstrates that current LLMs function competently as diagnosticians but fail as field engineers. TeleCom-Bench provides standardized diagnostics to precisely pinpoint this deficit, offering actionable guidance for domain-specific alignment toward production-ready telecom agents. The dataset and evaluation code have been released at this https URL.

We automatically generate feedback causal fuzzy cognitive maps (FCMs) from text by teaching large-language-model agents to break the text into overlapping chunks of text. Convex mixing of these chunk FCMs gives a representative cyclic FCM knowledge graph. The text chunks can have different levels of overlap. The chunk FCMs still mix to form a new FCM causal knowledge graph. The mixing technique scales because it uses light computation with sparse causal chunk matrices. The mixing structure allows an operator-level type of Bayesian inference that produces "de-chunked" or posterior-like FCMs from the mixed FCM. These de-chunked FCMs are useful in their own right and allow further iterations of Bayesian updating. We demonstrate these mixing techniques on the essay text of Allison's "Thucydides Trap" model of conflict between a dominant power such as the United States and a rising power such as China. The FCM dynamical systems predict outcomes as they equilibrate to fixed-point or limit-cycle attractors. Seven out of 8 FCM knowledge graphs predicted a type of war when we stimulated them by turning on and keeping on the concept node that stands for the rising power's ambition and entitlement. Gemini 3.1 LLMs served as the chunking AI agents.

The preservation and interpretation of cultural heritage increasingly rely on digital technologies, among which Knowledge Graphs (KGs) stand out for their ability to structure vast amounts of data. However, the construction and expansion of these KGs often face challenges due to the diverse and complex nature of cultural heritage information. In this paper, we propose a novel approach for extending KG resources in the domain of cultural heritage, which we applied to French data. First, we introduce a new knowledge graph in the domain of French cultural heritage, WJoconde, which is distinguished by its multimodality as it integrates both textual and image information of the entities. We further introduce three variants of WJoconde to facilitate downstream research, such as Knowledge Graph Completion (KGC). We also built a comprehensive benchmark for KGC methods on our dataset. Second, we propose a new framework for extending cultural heritage KGs using multi-modal approaches leveraging Large Language Models (LLMs) and Vision-Language Models (VLMs), which includes automated data extraction from unstructured resources combined with a special validation pipeline for grounding the output of both models, to further extend WJoconde. Our results show that by integrating the rich text and image information in cultural heritage data, we can efficiently enhance KGs with high reliability. We open-source all code and benchmark datasets with text and images, as well as the original data with an interactive access point

Existing LLM-driven knowledge graph (KG) construction methods predominantly employ stateless batch processing pipelines, exhibiting structural deficiencies in cross-chunk semantic relation capture, entity disambiguation, and construction process interpretability. These limitations undermine KG quality, retrieval precision, and deployment trust in high-stakes domains. We propose RAGA (Reading And Graph-building Agent), an LLM-based autonomous KG construction and retrieval fusion framework. RAGA provides an atomic toolset supporting full KG lifecycle CRUD operations and embeds a Read-Search-Verify-Construct cognitive constraint into a ReAct tool loop. A KG-vector synchronization mechanism enables hybrid symbolic-vector retrieval, while evidence-anchored verification links every knowledge entry to its source text for auditable provenance. Preliminary experiments on a subset of the QASPER scientific QA dataset indicate that RAGA's fusion retrieval outperforms zero-shot baselines, with KG integration providing measurable gains in both answer and evidence quality. The framework design and experimental baseline serve as a reference for agent-driven autonomous KG construction.
