Surprising Effectiveness of Self-Demonstrations in Enhancing Schema-Ontology Mapping with LLMs

The paper introduces a self-demonstration-driven method for mapping relational database schemas to ontologies, addressing challenges such as semantic heterogeneity and cryptic schema naming. It combines neuro-symbolic task decomposition with pattern-guided, dependency-aware demonstrations to improve LLM performance on schema-ontology mapping. Experiments on the RODI benchmark show state‑of‑the‑art results, outperforming existing methods by up to 25 percentage points in F1 score.

Better Later Than Sooner: Neuro-Symbolic Knowledge Graph Construction via Ontology-grounded Post-extraction Correction

The paper introduces a neuro‑symbolic framework for constructing knowledge graphs (KGs) that are grounded in an ontology. It combines open‑domain extraction, embedding‑based canonicalization of types and predicates, and a post‑extraction LLM‑based correction step to fix ontology violations, thereby reducing token usage and improving KG consistency. The resulting KGs support symbolic querying, as evidenced by the prevalence of SPARQL graph patterns in the extracted data.

Reflect-SQL: A Self-Reflection Based Framework for Text-to-SQL

Reflect‑SQL is a new framework for converting natural language into SQL queries. It tackles challenges such as large, obscure database schemas, poor table and column retrieval, and syntactically or logically flawed SQL by using a multi‑stage self‑reflection approach. The system iteratively refines queries and SQL through feedback loops driven by an LLM‑as‑a‑judge, achieving 72.03% execution accuracy on the BIRD benchmark, outperforming existing baselines.

Schema-Anchored Latent Reasoning for Semantic Parsing-Based Knowledge Base Question Answering

The paper introduces SALR, a schema‑anchored latent reasoning approach for generating logical forms in knowledge‑base question answering. SALR delays explicit schema commitments by generating continuous thoughts in hidden states and aligns these thoughts with a codebook of KB schema elements, guided by an alignment objective derived from gold logical forms. Experiments on GrailQA and WebQSP demonstrate that SALR consistently outperforms strong baselines, notably improving compositional question performance by 2.86 F1 points over TIARA.
