Knowledge Pull Requests for Continual Document Authoring

The paper introduces Knowledge Pull Requests (KPRs), a framework that enables continual document authoring by making each change interpretable. KPRs extract claims from new knowledge sources, filter and route them to appropriate sections, and flag conflicts with existing content, producing a ChangeLog that separates knowledge changes from textual edits. Experiments on revising Wikipedia and updating query-driven reports show that KPRs integrate more information, better preserve existing content, and improve question answering performance compared to rewriting from scratch or using frontier models with search.

Ingest-Time Fact Compilation for Cost-Efficient and Reliable Question Answering over Revised Corpora

The paper introduces ingest‑time fact compilation, an architecture that preprocesses and compiles corpus data into self‑contained facts with resolved revisions, deletions, and source trust. By storing this compiled state, query‑time models can retrieve answers directly, avoiding costly reconstruction from raw passages. Experiments show that this approach reduces read cost per question by 12.89× and token usage by 21.6× while maintaining accuracy.

From Code Archival to Knowledge Graph: Bridging Software Heritage, COAR Notify and Wikidata

The paper introduces an end‑to‑end pipeline that harvests, validates, and models links between scholarly articles and their source code from journals such as JOSS, SoftwareX, and IPOL, as well as SIGMOD ARI reproducibility reports. It produces a curated set of 4,397 DOI‑repository pairs and defines two Wikidata‑based application profiles—one for articles and one for software—aligned with schema.org and CodeMeta. Using these profiles, the authors created 4,182 new Wikidata software items linked to their papers, while only 82 repositories were previously represented, and they demonstrate compatibility with the COAR Notify protocol for future live enrichment.

Drift Inspector: Exploring and Measuring Scientific Drift with Atomic Contribution Claims

Drift Inspector is an open‑source system that extracts Atomic Contribution Claims (ACCs) from scientific abstracts using an LLM, then clusters these claims over time to map how a research field evolves. Applied to six years of EMNLP, the tool reveals a shift from classic NLP tasks toward LLM‑era capabilities such as reasoning and multimodality—trends that keyword or whole‑abstract counts miss. The pipeline has also processed the entire ACL Anthology, yielding 346,000 claims from 80,000 abstracts across 423 venues, with human‑validated extraction and clustering aligned to an external taxonomy.

Hybrid-Policy Self-Editing for Composable Unstructured Knowledge Editing

arXiv:2608. 11660v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) achieve remarkable performance across natural language tasks, yet they are trained on static corpora and their knowledge quickly becomes outdated in a fast-changing world.

Redesigning and Auditing Deep Research Writing for Faithful Reports

The paper introduces CLAIMPROBE, a claim-level audit tool that breaks down deep-research reports into individual claims and evaluates them for hallucination, misattribution, citation hygiene, and necessary-fact recall against retrieved evidence. Using CLAIMPROBE, the authors show that even high-scoring deep-research pipelines can omit key evidence and misattribute claims. They also propose CLAIMWRITER, a hierarchical claim-based writer that extracts source facts, maps them to an outline, and drafts sections from a source-linked claim representation, which reduces hallucination by 2.6 to 4.5 times and improves necessary-fact recall by 1.2 to 1.7 times while preserving overall report quality and enabling efficient localized revisions.

Retrievable Gradients: Continual Post-Training Without Cumulative Weight Drift

arXiv:2606. 15734v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Continual post-training enables models to absorb emerging knowledge after deployment, but repeatedly updating shared parameters can accumulate weight drift, potentially causing catastrophic forgetting and degrading general capabilities.

W-RAG: Source-Aware Retrieval for Enterprise Document Generation from Heterogeneous Knowledge Bases

W-RAG is a source-aware retrieval framework designed for enterprise document generation from heterogeneous knowledge bases. It uses ontology-guided retrieval, local ranking within each knowledge base, and source-level weighting to balance evidence from diverse sources. A new dataset covering multiple document types and industry domains demonstrates that W-RAG improves document coverage and generation quality compared to standard RAG pipelines.
