UnWeaving the knots of GraphRAG -- turns out VectorRAG is almost enough

arXiv:2603. 29875v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: One of the key problems in Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems is that chunk-based retrieval pipelines represent the source chunks as atomic objects, mixing the information contained within such a chunk into a single vector.

post-graph-rag: A PostgreSQL-Native Bi-Temporal Graph RAG Engine with Temporal Grounding at Synthesis

post-graph-rag is an open‑source PostgreSQL‑native engine that unifies chunks, embeddings, a canonical entity graph, and community summaries in a single database, using pgvector for search and edge tables for traversal. It validates extraction output—rejecting vague predicates, normalising predicates, resolving entities to unique vertices, and flagging negations—before writing, and employs a bi‑temporal layer to record when a relation held and when the system believed it, superseding incompatible earlier assertions. In benchmarks against LightRAG, it builds denser, more queryable graphs and achieves higher scores on LongMemEval, largely due to its temporal grounding in prompts.

Making the Knowledge Layer a Graph You Actually Traverse

The article discusses why retrieval quality should be inherent to the system rather than dependent on how a question is phrased. It proposes reconstructing the knowledge layer by performing graph traversal on every query, incorporating bitemporal edges, and applying a two‑threshold entity resolution approach. These techniques aim to make the knowledge graph more dynamic and responsive to user queries.

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.

LLM-Based Knowledge Graph Completion Combining Discrete Structural Coding with Similar Entity Information

The paper introduces CoSC, a method for knowledge graph completion that merges discrete structural coding with information from similar entities. An LLM first produces a candidate ranking based on structural codes, then refines this ranking using data from entities with comparable structures. Experiments on FB15k-237 demonstrate that CoSC achieves higher MRR and Hits@10 than existing baselines while staying competitive on Hits@1.

Automated Tree Knowledge Graph Construction using Ontology Expansion and Retrieval from Vietnamese History Textbooks

The paper presents an end‑to‑end pipeline for automatically constructing a tree‑structured knowledge graph (KG) from Vietnamese high school history textbooks and evaluating retrieval strategies that exploit the KG’s hierarchical structure. The KG construction uses a three‑phase hybrid relation extraction process, including intra‑batch deduplication, approximate cross‑batch search, and LLM extraction with a centroid filter and dual‑LLM validator, resulting in 750 nodes and 4,341 semantic edges across 41 ontology types. Retrieval evaluation compares three graph traversal strategies—Top‑Down, Horizontal, and Bottom‑Up—on a benchmark of 1,210 Vietnamese queries, finding that the Top‑Down strategy with structural information outperforms a vector baseline by 4.7 percentage points in NDCG@10.

The KG-ER Conceptual Schema Language

arXiv:2508. 02548v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We propose KG-ER, a conceptual schema language for knowledge graphs that describes the structure of knowledge graphs independently of their representation (relational databases, property graphs, RDF) while helping to capture the semantics of the information stored in a knowledge graph.

KGCQual: An Interpretable Framework for Evaluating the Knowledge Graph Construction Quality from Text

Knowledge Graphs (KGs) are increasingly constructed through automated extraction pipelines; however, such systems often introduce spurious or incomplete triples, which degrade downstream performance. Existing evaluation practices rely heavily on task-specific metrics or small-scale manual verification, offering limited insight into the structural and semantic fidelity of extracted graphs.
