ConvergeWriter: Data-Driven Bottom-Up Article Construction

ConvergeWriter introduces a bottom‑up, data‑driven framework for long‑form document generation that first retrieves exhaustive knowledge from a source corpus and clusters it into distinct knowledge groups. These clusters then guide the creation of a hierarchical outline and the final text, ensuring the output is strictly grounded in the retrieved material and traceable to its sources. Experiments on 14B and 32B LLMs show that this approach matches or surpasses state‑of‑the‑art baselines, especially in scenarios requiring high factual fidelity and structural coherence.

Hidden relationships in a document-derived property graph: top-k chunk embeddings and inverse-distance weighting over a dynamically evolving ontology

The paper introduces a second-pass method for uncovering hidden relationships in knowledge graphs extracted from text, without altering the original facts. By chunking documents and embedding each chunk once, the approach uses top‑k nearest‑neighbor queries and Shepard inverse‑distance weighting to score candidate node pairs, avoiding threshold issues inherent in cosine scoring. The technique is order‑independent, scalable, and has been implemented across multiple graph databases, demonstrating high edge fidelity with lower‑dimensional embeddings and a 25× speedup in top‑k computation.

Corpus2Skill: Distilling Enterprise Knowledge into Navigable Agent Skills for QA and RAG

Corpus2Skill is a retrieval architecture that transforms an enterprise knowledge base into a hierarchical skill directory, enabling an LLM agent to navigate from high-level summaries to specific documents and backtrack when necessary. On an enterprise customer‑support benchmark, it outperforms single‑shot dense, hybrid, hierarchical‑retrieval, and agentic RAG baselines in answer quality and grounding, with a moderate cost tradeoff. An eleven‑dataset study shows that corpus navigation excels on single‑domain corpora with a recoverable topical taxonomy but is less effective on open‑domain factoid pools or homogeneous‑tabular corpora, providing a design guideline for knowledge‑grounded systems.

An Ontology-Guided, Deduplication-Aware Extraction Layer for Knowledge Graph Construction from Heterogeneous Documents

arXiv:2607. 28662v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models extract entities and relationships from unstructured documents fluently but inconsistently: type vocabularies fracture across documents, the same person surfaces under several name variants, relationships duplicate, and distinct individuals who share a name risk silent conflation.

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.

LLM as GNN: Graph Vocabulary Learning for Text-Attributed Graph Foundation Models

The paper introduces PromptGFM, a Graph Foundation Model designed for text‑attributed graphs (TAGs). It integrates Large Language Models (LLMs) and Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) through a Graph Understanding Module that prompts LLMs to emulate GNN workflows, and a Graph Inference Module that creates a language‑based graph vocabulary for better alignment and scalability. Experiments show PromptGFM outperforms existing methods and transfers effectively across various graphs and tasks.

Are Large Language Models Effective Knowledge Graph Constructors?

The paper investigates whether large language models (LLMs) can construct knowledge graphs (KGs) from documents in a zero‑shot, schema‑free manner. It introduces the Detail‑to‑Abstract Hierarchical Knowledge Graph (D2A‑HKG) framework, which splits KG construction into extraction, splitting, and abstraction stages, and evaluates the resulting graphs semantically and structurally. Using seven leading LLMs, the authors benchmark zero‑shot KG construction on CMW‑Lit—a dataset of pediatric mental‑wellness research—and find that state‑of‑the‑art LLMs generally produce relevant, document‑faithful triples with limited hallucination, though their extraction behaviors vary across stages. The study releases CMW‑Lit and the generated graphs as resources for future research and downstream knowledge‑intensive applications.

Finding the Right Tables and Columns: A Benchmark and Corpus-Adaptive Embeddings for SQL Schema Retrieval

Retrieval in the SQL setting has largely been studied as the task of finding, within a large collection of SQL statements, the statement that answers a natural-language question. At scale, however, a more fundamental retrieval problem precedes generation: schema retrieval, identifying the tables and columns a question requires in a database that may contain thousands of them, far more than fit in a model's context.
