Think Parallax: Solving Multi-Hop Problems via Multi-View Knowledge-Graph-Based Retrieval-Augmented Generation

The paper introduces ParallaxRAG, a multi-view retrieval-augmented generation framework that addresses multi-hop reasoning challenges in large language models over knowledge graphs. It identifies that transformer attention heads specialize in distinct semantic relations across reasoning stages, forming a hop-aligned relay pattern, and proposes decoupling queries and KGs into head-specific semantic spaces to enforce relational diversity. Experiments on WebQSP, CWQ, and BioASQ show state‑of‑the‑art performance, reduced hallucination, and strong generalization.

MedResearcher-R1: Expert-Level Medical Deep Researcher via A Knowledge-Informed Trajectory Synthesis Framework

MedResearcher‑R1 is a medical deep‑research agent that uses a Knowledge‑Informed Trajectory Synthesis (KISA) framework to build medical knowledge graphs and generate complex multi‑hop question‑answer pairs, especially for rare medical entities. It also incorporates a medical retrieval engine and general‑purpose tools to reliably synthesize medical evidence. The resulting 2,100+ trajectories across 12 specialties enable supervised fine‑tuning and reinforcement learning, producing a 32B model that outperforms larger proprietary systems on MedBrowseComp and shows strong performance on GAIA and xBench benchmarks.

Condition-Gated Reasoning for Context-Dependent Biomedical Question Answering

arXiv:2602. 17911v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Current biomedical question answering (QA) systems often assume that medical knowledge applies uniformly, yet real-world clinical reasoning is inherently conditional: nearly every decision depends on patient-specific factors such as comorbidities and contraindications.

MolBioKG: Grounding Out-of-Graph Molecules in Biomedical Knowledge Graphs via Multi-Resolution Structural Anchoring

arXiv:2608. 06713v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Biomedical knowledge graphs (KGs) accelerate drug discovery, but standard pipelines assume query molecules already exist as graph entities, leaving unregistered molecules disconnected.

MARS: Multi-hop Adaptive Retrieval and SPARQL Generation for KGQA

MARS is a scalable knowledge‑graph question‑answering system that integrates large language models with knowledge graphs without requiring model fine‑tuning. It uses a structured retrieval process that links question entities to the graph, iteratively fetching next‑hop information and deciding when to stop and generate a SPARQL query. Evaluated on three KGQA benchmarks—including multilingual settings—MARS matches state‑of‑the‑art performance while remaining efficient and scalable.

RSF-GLLM: Bridging the Semantic Gap in Multi-Hop Knowledge Graph QA via Recurrent Soft-Flow and Decoupled LLM Generation

arXiv:2607. 06527v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multi-hop Question Answering over Knowledge Graphs faces a critical challenge: traditional retrieve-then-read pipelines break differentiability, preventing the retriever from learning to bridge the semantic gap where intermediate nodes lack lexical overlap with the query.

Beyond Reachability: A Relation-Semantic Reasoning Framework for Biomedical Multi-hop QA

The paper introduces ReSemReason, a framework for biomedical multi-hop question answering that addresses the reachable-but-invalid problem—where correct answers are retrieved but lack valid evidential support. ReSemReason aligns question-induced relation schemas with graph search and employs relation-conditioned attention and uncertainty-weighted priors to improve both answer ranking and evidence quality. Experiments on BioHopR, PrimeKGQA, and MedReason demonstrate enhanced answer-set quality and provide analyses distinguishing endpoint correctness from evidential support.
