Large Language Models (LLMs) have shown immense potential in Knowledge Graph Completion (KGC), yet bridging the modality gap between continuous graph embeddings and discrete LLM tokens remains a critical challenge. While recent quantization-based approaches attempt to align these modalities, they typically treat quantization as flat numerical compression, resulting in semantically entangled codes that fail to mirror the hierarchical nature of human reasoning. In this paper, we propose GS-Quant, a novel framework that generates semantically coherent and structurally stratified discrete codes for KG entities. Unlike prior methods, GS-Quant is grounded in the insight that entity representations should follow a linguistic coarse-to-fine logic. We introduce a Granular Semantic Enhancement module that injects hierarchical knowledge into the codebook, ensuring that earlier codes capture global semantic categories while later codes refine specific attributes. Furthermore, a Generative Structural Reconstruction module imposes causal dependencies on the code sequence, transforming independent discrete units into structured semantic descriptors. By expanding the LLM vocabulary with these learned codes, we enable the model to reason over graph structures isomorphically to natural language generation. Experimental results demonstrate that GS-Quant significantly outperforms existing text-based and embedding-based baselines. Our code is publicly available at https://github.com/mikumifa/GS-Quant.
We present GRISP (Guided Recurrent IRI Selection over SPARQL Skeletons), a novel SPARQL-based question-answering method over knowledge graphs based on fine-tuning a small language model (SLM). Given a natural-language question, the method first uses the SLM to generate a natural-language SPARQL query skeleton, and then to re-rank and select knowledge graph items to iteratively replace the natural-language placeholders using knowledge graph constraints. The SLM is jointly trained on skeleton generation and list-wise re-ranking data generated from standard question-query pairs. We evaluate the method on common Wikidata and Freebase benchmarks, and achieve better results than other state-of-the-art methods in a comparable setting.
Battery research is a rapidly growing and highly interdisciplinary field, making it increasingly difficult to track relevant expertise and identify potential collaborators across institutional boundaries. In this work, we present a pipeline for constructing an author-centric knowledge graph of battery research built on OpenAlex, a large-scale open bibliographic catalogue. For each author, we derive a weighted research descriptors vector that combines coarse-grained OpenAlex concepts with fine-grained keyphrases extracted from titles and abstracts using KeyBERT with ChatGPT (gpt-3.5-turbo) as the backend model, selected after evaluating multiple alternatives. Vector components are weighted by research descriptor origin, authorship position, and temporal recency. The framework is applied to a corpus of 189,581 battery-related works. The resulting vectors support author-author similarity computation, community detection, and exploratory search through a browser-based interface. The knowledge graph is then serialized in RDF and linked to Wikidata identifiers, making it interoperable with external linked open data sources and extensible beyond the battery domain. Unlike prior author-centric analyses confined to institutional repositories, our approach operates at cross-institutional scale and grounds similarity in domain semantics rather than citation or co-authorship structure alone.
Knowledge Graph Embeddings (KGEs) support a wide range of downstream tasks over Knowledge Graphs (KGs). In practice, KGs evolve as new entities and facts are added, motivating Continual Knowledge Graph Embedding (CKGE) methods that update embeddings over time. Current CKGE approaches address catastrophic forgetting (i.e., the performance degradation on previously learned tasks) primarily by limiting changes to existing embeddings. However, we show that this view is incomplete. When new entities are introduced, their embeddings can interfere with previously learned ones, causing the model to predict them in place of previously correct answers. This phenomenon, which we call entity interference, has been largely overlooked and is not accounted for in current CKGE evaluation protocols. As a result, the assessment of catastrophic forgetting becomes misleading, and CKGE methods performance is systematically overestimated. To address this issue, we introduce a corrected CKGE evaluation protocol that accounts for entity interference. Through experiments on multiple benchmarks, we show that ignoring this effect can lead to performance overestimation of up to 25%, particularly in scenarios with significant entity growth. We further analyze how different CKGE methods and KGE models are affected by the different sources of forgetting, and introduce a catastrophic forgetting metric tailored to CKGE.
Virtual cell modeling predicts molecular state changes under genetic perturbations in silico, which is essential for biological mechanism studies. However, existing approaches suffer from unconstrained reasoning, uninterpretable predictions, and retrieval signals that are weakly aligned with regulatory topology. To address these limitations, we propose AROMA, an Augmented Reasoning Over a Multimodal Architecture for virtual cell genetic perturbation modeling. AROMA integrates textual evidence, graph-topology information, and protein sequence features to model perturbation-target dependencies, and is trained with a two-stage optimization strategy to yield predictions that are both accurate and interpretable. We also construct two knowledge graphs and a perturbation reasoning dataset, PerturbReason, containing more than 498k samples, as reusable resources for the virtual cell domain. Experiments show that AROMA outperforms existing methods across multiple cell lines, and remains robust under zero-shot evaluation on an unseen cell line, as well as in knowledge-sparse, long-tail scenarios. Overall, AROMA demonstrates that combining knowledge-driven multimodal modeling with evidence retrieval provides a promising pathway toward more reliable and interpretable virtual cell perturbation prediction.

Knowledge Graph (KG) can effectively integrate valuable information from massive data, and thus has been rapidly developed and widely used in many fields. Traditional KG construction methods rely on manual annotation, which often consumes a lot of time and manpower. And KG construction schemes based on deep learning tend to have weak generalization capabilities. With the rapid development of Pre-trained Language Models (PLM), PLM has shown great potential in the field of KG construction. This paper provides a comprehensive review of recent research advances in the field of construction of KGs using PLM. In this paper, we explain how PLM can utilize its language understanding and generation capabilities to automatically extract key information for KGs, such as entities and relations, from textual data. In addition, We also propose a new Hyper-Relarional Knowledge Graph construction framework based on lightweight Large Language Model (LLM) named LLHKG and compares it with previous methods. Under our framework, the KG construction capability of lightweight LLM is comparable to GPT3.5.
Creative Generation (CG) leverages generative models to automatically produce advertising content that highlights product features, and it has been a significant focus of recent research. However, while CG has advanced considerably, most efforts have concentrated on generating advertising text and images, leaving Creative Video Generation (CVG) relatively underexplored. This gap is largely due to two major challenges faced by Text-to-Video (T2V) models: (a) \textbf{ambiguous semantic alignment}, where models struggle to accurately correlate product selling points with creative video content, and (b) \textbf{inadequate motion adaptability}, resulting in unrealistic movements and distortions. To address these challenges, we develop a comprehensive Advertising Creative Knowledge Base (ACKB) as a foundational resource and propose a knowledge-driven approach (KD-CVG) to overcome the knowledge limitations of existing models. KD-CVG consists of two primary modules: Semantic-Aware Retrieval (SAR) and Multimodal Knowledge Reference (MKR). SAR utilizes the semantic awareness of graph attention networks and reinforcement learning feedback to enhance the model's comprehension of the connections between selling points and creative videos. Building on this, MKR incorporates semantic and motion priors into the T2V model to address existing knowledge gaps. Extensive experiments have demonstrated KD-CVG's superior performance in achieving semantic alignment and motion adaptability, validating its effectiveness over other state-of-the-art methods. The code and dataset will be open source at https://kdcvg.github.io/KDCVG/.
This paper presents a hybrid architecture for intelligent systems in which large language models (LLMs) are extended with an external ontological memory layer. Instead of relying solely on parametric knowledge and vector-based retrieval (RAG), the proposed approach constructs and maintains a structured knowledge graph using RDF/OWL representations, enabling persistent, verifiable, and semantically grounded reasoning. The core contribution is an automated pipeline for ontology construction from heterogeneous data sources, including documents, APIs, and dialogue logs. The system performs entity recognition, relation extraction, normalization, and triple generation, followed by validation using SHACL and OWL constraints, and continuous graph updates. During inference, LLMs operate over a combined context that integrates vector-based retrieval with graph-based reasoning and external tool interaction. Experimental observations on planning tasks, including the Tower of Hanoi benchmark, indicate that ontology augmentation improves performance in multi-step reasoning scenarios compared to baseline LLM systems. In addition, the ontology layer enables formal validation of generated outputs, transforming the system into a generation-verification-correction pipeline. The proposed architecture addresses key limitations of current LLM-based systems, including lack of long-term memory, weak structural understanding, and limited reasoning capabilities. It provides a foundation for building agent-based systems, robotics applications, and enterprise AI solutions that require persistent knowledge, explainability, and reliable decision-making.
Modern retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems treat vector embeddings as static, context-free artifacts: an embedding has no notion of when it was created, how trustworthy its source is, or which other embeddings depend on it. This flattening of knowledge has a measurable cost: recent work on VersionRAG reports that conventional RAG achieves only 58% accuracy on versioned technical queries, because retrieval returns semantically similar but temporally invalid content. We propose SmartVector, a framework that augments dense embeddings with three explicit properties -- temporal awareness, confidence decay, and relational awareness -- and a five-stage lifecycle modeled on hippocampal-neocortical memory consolidation. A retrieval pipeline replaces pure cosine similarity with a four-signal score that mixes semantic relevance, temporal validity, live confidence, and graph-relational importance. A background consolidation agent detects contradictions, builds dependency edges, and propagates updates along those edges as graph-neural-network-style messages. Confidence is governed by a closed-form function combining an Ebbinghaus-style exponential decay, user-feedback reconsolidation, and logarithmic access reinforcement. We formalize the model, relate it to temporal knowledge graph embedding, agentic memory architectures, and uncertainty-aware RAG, and present a reference implementation. On a reproducible synthetic versioned-policy benchmark of 258 vectors and 138 queries, SmartVector roughly doubles top-1 accuracy over plain cosine RAG (62.0% vs. 31.0% on a held-out split), drops stale-answer rate from 35.0% to 13.3%, cuts Expected Calibration Error by nearly 2x (0.244 vs. 0.470), reduces re-embedding cost per single-word edit by 77%, and is robust across contradiction-injection rates from 0% to 75%.
Temporal Knowledge Graph (TKG) extrapolation aims to predict future events based on historical facts. Recent studies have attempted to enhance TKG extrapolation by integrating TKG's evolving structural representations and textual event chains into Large Language Models (LLMs). Yet, two main challenges limit these approaches: (1) The loss of essential spatial-temporal information due to shallow alignment between TKG's graph evolving structural representation and the LLM's semantic space, and (2) the progressive dilution of the TKG's evolving structural features during LLM fine-tuning. To address these challenges, we propose the Spatial-Temporal Knowledge Adapter (STK-Adapter), which flexibly integrates the evolving graph encoder and the LLM to facilitate TKG reasoning. In STK-Adapter, a Spatial-Temporal MoE is designed to capture spatial structures and temporal patterns inherent in TKGs. An Event-Aware MoE is employed to model intricate temporal semantics dependencies within event chains. In addition, a Cross-Modality Alignment MoE is proposed to facilitate deep cross-modality alignment by TKG-guided attention experts. Extensive experiments on benchmark datasets demonstrate that STK-Adapter significantly outperforms state-of-the-art methods and exhibits strong generalization capabilities in cross-dataset task.
