Fusing Knowledge and Language: A Comparative Study of Knowledge Graph-Based Question Answering with LLMs

Knowledge graphs, a powerful tool for structuring information through relational triplets, have recently become the new front-runner in enhancing question-answering systems. While traditional Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) approaches are proficient in fact-based and local context-based extraction from concise texts, they encounter limitations when addressing the thematic and holistic understanding of complex, extensive texts, requiring a deeper analysis of both text and context. This paper presents a comprehensive technical comparative study of three different methodologies for constructing knowledge graph triplets and integrating them with Large Language Models (LLMs) for question answering: spaCy, Stanford CoreNLP-OpenIE, and GraphRAG, all leveraging open source technologies. We evaluate the effectiveness, feasibility, and adaptability of these methods by analyzing their capabilities, state of development, and their impact on the performance of LLM-based question answering. Experimental results indicate that while OpenIE provides the most comprehensive coverage of triplets, GraphRAG demonstrates superior reasoning abilities among the three. We conclude with a discussion on the strengths and limitations of each method and provide insights into future directions for improving knowledge graph-based question answering.

Automated detection of Alzheimer disease using MRI images and deep neural networks- A review

Early detection of Alzheimer disease is crucial for deploying interventions and slowing the disease progression. A lot of machine learning and deep learning algorithms have been explored in the past decade with the aim of building an automated detection for Alzheimer. Advancements in data augmentation techniques and advanced deep learning architectures have opened up new frontiers in this field, and research is moving at a rapid speed. Hence, the purpose of this survey is to provide an overview of recent research on deep learning models for Alzheimer disease diagnosis. In addition to categorizing the numerous data sources, neural network architectures, and commonly used assessment measures, we also classify implementation and reproducibility. Our objective is to assist interested researchers in keeping up with the newest developments and in reproducing earlier investigations as benchmarks. In addition, we also indicate future research directions for this topic.

Impact of Artificial Intelligence on Businesses: from Research, Innovation, Market Deployment to Future Shifts in Business Models

The fast pace of artificial intelligence (AI) and automation is propelling strategists to reshape their business models. This is fostering the integration of AI in the business processes but the consequences of this adoption are underexplored and need attention. This paper focuses on the overall impact of AI on businesses - from research, innovation, market deployment to future shifts in business models. To access this overall impact, we design a three-dimensional research model, based upon the Neo-Schumpeterian economics and its three forces viz. innovation, knowledge, and entrepreneurship. The first dimension deals with research and innovation in AI. In the second dimension, we explore the influence of AI on the global market and the strategic objectives of the businesses and finally, the third dimension examines how AI is shaping business contexts. Additionally, the paper explores AI implications on actors and its dark sides.
