VeriGraph: Towards Verifiable Data-Analytic Agents

arXiv:2606. 16603v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: LLM-based agents have demonstrated strong capabilities in data-intensive analytical tasks, yet their outputs are rarely verifiable: a reliance on linear text trajectories makes their reasoning difficult to audit.

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%.

GraphCert: Bootstrap Agentic Graph Reasoning with Certified Evidence Rubrics

GraphCert introduces a method to bootstrap graph reasoning agents by generating graph‑grounded question‑answer pairs and certifying the supporting evidence. The approach uses a Bootstrapped Graph Quizzer to produce QA pairs, then executes and semantically curates the evidence into certified rubrics that guide reward‑based training of a Graph Solver. Experiments on five GRBENCH domains show GraphCert outperforms larger LLM agents and demonstrates robust policy transfer across heterogeneous graphs.

Stochastic Semantic Evidence Graphs: Uncertainty Propagation and Governance for Agentic AI

The paper introduces Stochastic Semantic Evidence Graphs (SSEGs), a hierarchical stochastic directed acyclic graph that models uncertainty in AI-agent workflows, from evidence and retrieval to generation and decision mapping. SSEGs expand language nodes into autoregressive token subgraphs, optionally apply semantic reduction and calibration, and preserve uncertain claim–passage relations while propagating Fréchet bounds. The authors derive pathwise error bounds, use nodewise terms to trigger governance checks, and demonstrate through experiments that SSEGs can detect and quantify where uncertainty enters and propagates in AI outputs.

Beyond Verdicts: A Graph-Based Analysis of Human and LLM Reasoning in Scientific Fact-Checking

The paper introduces a typed reasoning graph framework to compare human and large language model (LLM) reasoning paths in scientific fact‑checking. By modeling explanations as graphs linking false claims to study context, findings, premises, and fallacy labels, the authors enable one‑to‑one alignment of human and LLM reasoning at the sub‑graph level. Using 84 false claims from MISSCIPLUS, they evaluate GPT‑5, Claude Opus 4.7, and Qwen3‑32B, finding distinct performance patterns: Qwen3‑32B has the lowest verdict failure rate, GPT‑5 shows the highest human alignment, and Claude Opus 4.7, while weak at verdict prediction, often produces valid reasoning in successful cases.

LEDGER: Claim-to-Evidence Trace Graphs for Auditing LLM Agents

LEDGER is a tracing and review system for large language model agents that constructs layered trace graphs from observed sessions. It groups raw trace records into Evidence Nodes and Workflow Nodes, anchors artifacts as evidence, and adds typed semantic edges linking claims to supporting actions, artifacts, and checks. The resulting traces reveal workflow decisions, artifact lineage, repair steps, validation coverage, and claim‑support paths for evidence‑centered audit.

GraphEcho: Structural Redundancy and Evidence Provenance in LLM Graph Agents

GraphEcho is a benchmark that examines how large language model agents navigate graph paths and handle evidence redundancy. It tests whether agents treat repeated encounters as additional corroboration by varying path counts and evidential origins while keeping evidence content constant. The study finds that redundant paths increase repeated walks, and that provenance-aware post‑training can reduce revisits but may limit source diversity, revealing a gap between efficient exploration and effective evidence use.
