Automatic Knowledge Graph Construction and Query for Earthquake Catalogs

arXiv:2607. 24984v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: In recent years, the number of events in earthquake catalogs has significantly increased due to the utilization of more effective deep learning based detectors and phase pickers but answering open ended questions such as what characterizes this sequence?

Verifiable Disaster Storylines and Causal Knowledge Graphs: A Citation-Grounded Pipeline from Heterogeneous Humanitarian Sources

The paper introduces a pipeline that merges structured disaster records from EM‑DAT with unstructured documents from ReliefWeb and the European Media Monitor to generate source‑grounded disaster storylines and causal knowledge graphs. Using Retrieval‑Augmented Generation, it produces tabular event profiles covering 17 fields and builds causal graphs enriched with citation‑grounded explanatory narratives, allowing traceability to primary sources. Human evaluation across three crisis cases shows high retrieval precision, strong faithfulness of causal relations, and a clear expert preference for citation‑grounded components over ungrounded ones.

HyGRAIL: Cost-Aware and Evidence-Grounded Scientific Hypothesis Discovery over Knowledge Graphs

HyGRAIL is a framework for discovering scientific hypotheses in incomplete knowledge graphs by combining a graph neural network (GNN) triage with large language model (LLM) review. The GNN scores candidate hypotheses and routes only ambiguous cases to the LLM, which receives structured evidence from the graph converted into natural language. Experiments on MatKG show HyGRAIL achieves the highest F1 score, improves over baselines, and cuts LLM calls by over 54%.

Enabling Knowledge Graph Understanding at Scale with the EXplore Your Graphs ENgine (EXYGEN)

The paper introduces EXYGEN, a framework that enables conversational access to large knowledge graphs by combining VoID descriptions, ShEx schemas, retrieved triples, and example question‑query pairs in a retrieval‑augmented generation pipeline. On the SciQA benchmark, this approach achieves an exact‑match score of 0.419 without fine‑tuning any large language model, and shows that larger general‑purpose LLMs can outperform smaller code‑specialized ones when provided sufficient context. To scale metadata generation for very large KGs, the authors propose a predicate‑coverage‑aware parallel graph sampling strategy that preserves structural diversity, reduces runtime by over 80× on OpenCitations Meta and GESIS, and is the only tractable method for obtaining complete metadata on ORKG.

Evidence-Grounded Retrieval for Investigation Hunt Lead Generation from CTI Reports

The paper introduces AHLERT, a system that automatically extracts environment-aware hunt leads from Cyber Threat Intelligence reports. It combines a hybrid retriever—dense vector search plus multi-hop knowledge‑graph traversal seeded with MITRE ATT&CK—with ontology‑grounded retrieval‑augmented generation to constrain leads to a defender’s assets. Evaluations on public CTI reports show that AHLERT doubles mean F1 scores and achieves an effectiveness score of ~86.95% compared to off‑the‑shelf LLM models.

Build2SPARQL: A Large-Scale Text-to-SPARQL Benchmark Dataset for Building Knowledge Graph Querying

Build2SPARQL is a large-scale benchmark dataset for translating natural-language questions into SPARQL queries over building knowledge graphs. The dataset is generated by a KG‑grounded pipeline that produces 6,136 executable SPARQL queries and 30,680 corresponding natural-language questions across six query-pattern families and five vocabulary registers, covering 201 building KGs. Human validation shows high semantic fidelity, naturalness, and operational plausibility, and retrieval‑augmented evaluation demonstrates significant accuracy gains for open‑weight language models.
