From Queries to Narratives: Cultural Heritage Data Stories for Knowledge Graph Exploration and Quality Assessment

The paper introduces data stories as narrative documents that combine explanatory text, images, and executable SPARQL queries with visualized results to make cultural‑heritage knowledge graphs more accessible. It describes how these stories guide users through unfamiliar graphs, create reproducible narratives, and uncover hidden data‑quality issues. The authors present LODEON, an authoring platform with Sparnatural and AI‑assisted tools, and report early positive feedback from seminars and workshops.

Narrative Knowledge Weaver: Narrative-Centric Retrieval-Augmented Reasoning for Long-Form Text Understanding

arXiv:2606. 05724v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Long-form narrative QA requires reasoning over evolving story worlds rather than isolated passages: answers may depend on earlier goals, changing character states, social relations, causal triggers, temporal position, and later consequences.

SAG: SQL-Retrieval Augmented Generation with Query-Time Dynamic Hyperedges

SAG (SQL‑Retrieval Augmented Generation) is a structured retrieval framework that indexes documents as event‑entity pairs, forming latent hyperedges that preserve n‑ary relations without building a global knowledge graph. At query time, shared entities act as join keys, dynamically creating a query‑scoped neighborhood of related events while keeping each evidence chunk intact. Experiments on HotpotQA, 2WikiMultiHopQA, and MuSiQue demonstrate that SAG outperforms existing dense‑retrieval baselines, achieving the highest recall and end‑to‑end QA performance, especially as reasoning‑chain complexity grows.
