Ontology construction requires deciding which objects, attributes, and structural relations should be accepted as valid knowledge. Language models can propose such structures from text, but their outputs can still be unsupported or inconsistent.
arXiv:2608. 06331v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: From natural-language query interfaces to automated report generation, data analysis tools need a description of the data: the real-world entities it contains, which columns function as measures or identifiers, and how tables connect into units of analysis.

arXiv:2606. 08477v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Knowledge extraction from symbolic data often produces abstractions that are formally defined but not immediately interpretable by users.

arXiv:2606. 26101v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Reliable evaluation of large language models should separate supported answering from unsupported guessing without conflating either with data contamination, prompt idiosyncrasy, or generic refusal behavior.

arXiv:2607. 18029v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Researchers need to answer ad-hoc questions about the contents of domain-specific archives but often lack the expertise to write structured queries on the metadata.

arXiv:2607. 14494v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Complex knowledge base question answering (KBQA) is commonly approached through either information retrieval over a question-specific subgraph or semantic parsing into an executable logical form.

arXiv:2606. 08571v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language models frequently fail in a characteristic way: rather than acknowledging ignorance, they produce fluent but incorrect answers to questions that lie beyond their knowledge boundaries.

arXiv:2507. 09751v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated impressive capabilities in natural language understanding and generation, but exhibit problems with logical consistency in their output.

arXiv:2607. 15776v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: OWL ontologies provide a formal knowledge representation framework that enables semantic reasoning, and have been widely adopted across domains such as healthcare and bioinformatics.

arXiv:2607. 17742v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Tables are a critical knowledge source in retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), but a retrieved table may lack sufficient evidence to answer a query, a property we call answerability.
