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.

FedV-KGQA: Multi-Hop Question Answering over Vertically Partitioned Knowledge Graphs

FedV-KGQA is a framework for multi-hop question answering over knowledge graphs that are vertically partitioned across different organizations. It allows entities to be shared while each silo retains disjoint sets of relations, using local graph enrichment and knowledge graph embeddings so that raw triples and relation parameters never leave the silo. The system includes a topic entity anchoring mechanism to ground questions in the correct graph neighborhood without runtime inter-silo communication, and it achieves performance close to centralized systems on three benchmarks, including 3-hop reasoning and robustness to embedding perturbations.

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.

KGCache: Amortized Subgraph Retrieval for KG Reasoning with LLMs

arXiv:2608. 07954v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models can answer knowledge-intensive questions more reliably when they are grounded with knowledge graphs, but systems such as Think-on-Graph and Reasoning-on-Graph repeatedly query the same graph neighborhoods across different questions.

Enrich-on-Graph: Query-Graph Alignment for Complex Reasoning with LLM Enriching

Enrich-on-Graph (EoG) is a flexible framework that uses large language models to enrich knowledge graphs, thereby bridging the semantic gap between structured graphs and unstructured queries in complex reasoning tasks. By leveraging LLMs’ prior knowledge, EoG enables efficient evidence extraction from knowledge graphs, achieving precise and robust reasoning while maintaining low computational costs and scalability. The authors also introduce three graph quality evaluation metrics for query‑graph alignment, theoretically validate their optimization objectives, and demonstrate state‑of‑the‑art performance on two KGQA benchmark datasets.
