SurveyGraph: Generating Academic Surveys via Methods-Entity Knowledge Graphs

SurveyGraph introduces a framework that uses a Methods‑Entity Knowledge Graph (MEKG) to encode relationships such as follow‑on, competition, and shared‑resource links between research methods. The graph enables core‑paper discovery, hybrid outlining, and evidence‑gated narrative synthesis, outperforming flat lexical baselines in recall and achieving strong citation support and semantic edge validation. The study demonstrates MEKG’s effectiveness through controlled benchmarks, diagnostic tests, and human adjudication, positioning it as an auditable structural layer for survey generation.

SurveyGraph: Generating Academic Surveys via Methods-Entity Knowledge Graphs

SurveyGraph introduces a framework that uses a Methods-Entity Knowledge Graph (MEKG) to generate academic surveys, addressing limitations of flat document retrieval by encoding method-level follow‑on, competition, and shared‑resource relations. The graph enables core‑paper discovery, retrieval, hybrid outlining, and evidence‑gated narrative synthesis, and is evaluated on retrieval, semantic edges, citation grounding, coverage, and generation components. Experiments show MEKG‑anchored fusion balances recall and structural density, graph‑aware retrieval nearly doubles recall over flat baselines, and a semantic evidence gate achieves an AUC of 0.75, with audits indicating strong citation support and relation accuracy.

Entity-Memory Graph Retrieval Improves Evidence Coverage in Long-Conversation Question Answering

Entity-Memory graph retrieval preserves dialogue turns as verbatim memory nodes, links repeated mentions via shared entities, and connects adjacent memories with chronological edges. During retrieval, the system gates through entities, fuses semantics, and performs one‑hop chronological recovery before dense backfill, allowing it to keep neighboring memories that dense cosine ranking might miss. On 1,986 questions from ten LoCoMo conversations, this graph retrieval method increases official evidence recall at top‑k 25 from 79.7468 % to 84.4842 %, with the advantage extending from top‑k 5 to 50, though it does not improve overall final‑answer F1.

Agent Zero Memory: Provenance-Aware Long-Term Memory for LLM Agents

Agent Zero Memory is a provenance‑aware long‑term memory system for large language model agents that distills user interactions into three parallel memory structures: an episodic timeline, an associative entity‑event knowledge graph, and a semantic, citation‑locked hierarchical documentary memory. Retrieval is performed via an intent gate, source router, and concurrent searches across the three systems, producing integrated, cited answers that exclude fabrication and require evidence the reader has opened. The system achieves state‑of‑the‑art performance on LongMemEval (95.60%) and LoCoMo (93.60%) while offering a favorable accuracy‑cost‑latency trade‑off across multiple backbone LLMs.

Blind Men and the Elephant: Probing the Epistemic Myopia of LLMs under Long-Tail Divergent Knowledge

The paper introduces ElephantBench, a closed‑book knowledge probe with 1,094 multi‑account factual questions generated via an auditable graph‑based pipeline that pulls documents from a low‑exposure web corpus and identifies naturally occurring disagreements. Across 32 large language models, even the best model only recovers both divergent accounts on 52.4% of questions, and most models recall one account while omitting the other, indicating persistent epistemic myopia. The study shows that scaling model size and inference‑time reasoning improves recall but does not eliminate incompleteness, and that exposure imbalance in the corpus biases models toward the dominant account.

Graph Topology Meets Energy-Driven Pathfinding: Preserving Contextual Consistency in Retrieval-Augmented Generation

ThreadRAG is a retrieval‑augmented generation framework that preserves contextual consistency by structuring retrieved documents into Semantic Nodes and building a Semantic Topology Graph (STG). It uses Energy‑Driven Pathfinding (EDP) to identify query‑relevant subgraphs and linearize them into coherent textual evidence paths. Experiments on HotpotQA, 2WikiMultihop, and another benchmark show ThreadRAG outperforms strong baselines, achieving a 14.4% EM gain on HotpotQA and a 5.8% EM lead on 2WikiMultihop while cutting token cost to 23.3% of the strongest baseline.

FedV-KGQA in Practice: Design Lessons and an Interactive Prototype

FedV-KGQA addresses multi‑hop question answering over vertically partitioned knowledge graphs where each silo holds disjoint relation types. The system trains local embeddings, concatenates silo‑specific entity views, anchors questions at a topic entity, and ranks candidates without sharing raw triples. Experiments show federated fusion nearly matches centralized accuracy, that anchoring and enrichment are more critical than embedding choice, and that the cheapest encoder depends on target accuracy.
