SciGraphSelect: Auditable Scientific Data Selection through Knowledge--Reasoning Graphs

SciGraphSelect is a framework that makes scientific data selection auditable by using a typed knowledge–reasoning graph. It organizes domain knowledge, reusable reasoning operations, and reference‑attested relations, then scores candidate documents based on concept coverage, relation and path co‑support, and directional alignment. The approach preserves rich relational structure on the reference side while treating candidate‑side evidence conservatively, thereby exposing the evidence behind each selection.

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%.

FindLink: Learning to Assess Scientific Connections from Source-Grounded Premises

The paper introduces GI-TraceBench, a benchmark of 10,282 gastrointestinal oncology questions that combines provenance question answering, knowledge discovery, and hypothesis evaluation using shared Paper, Claim, and Evidence Span records. It proposes FindLink, a two‑stage framework that first grounds premises with explicit study context and support status, then structures these premises into support plans to generate evidence‑conditioned answers. On a 1,545‑question test set, FindLink raises the balanced family macro score from 67.95 to 87.25 compared to direct supervised fine‑tuning, demonstrating the importance of both premise identification and connection assessment in scientific reasoning.

Large Knowledge Model: From Papers to a Scientific Reasoning Landscape

The paper introduces the Large Knowledge Model (LKM), a scientific knowledge infrastructure that converts research literature into shared, computationally accessible reasoning graphs. LKM aligns questions, claims, and reasoning chains across papers, creating a Scientific Reasoning Landscape with Question, Workflow, and Evidence views. The system enhances scientific search, evidence‑grounded QA, and research planning, achieving notable accuracy gains on ChemBench, PubMedQA, and SciBench.

PathAnchor: Path-Structured Evidence for Scientific Agents

PathAnchor is a new scientific reasoning system that uses path-structured evidence workspaces instead of independent passages or concepts. It retrieves source-linked Material‑Sensor‑Signal‑System trajectories that preserve role, direction, and supporting evidence, and a controller uses read‑only tools to search, trace, and open exact evidence before producing a claim‑cited answer. In evaluations on 120 flexible‑sensor questions, PathAnchor achieved an 82.6% score, outperformed six other systems, and improved source recall, citation completeness, and reduced tool calls compared to unordered concept graphs.

SurveyGraph: Generating Academic Surveys via Methods-Entity Knowledge Graphs

SurveyGraph introduces a framework that uses a Methods‑Entity Knowledge Graph (MEKG) to encode relationships such as follow‑on, competition, and shared‑resource links between research methods. The graph enables core‑paper discovery, hybrid outlining, and evidence‑gated narrative synthesis, outperforming flat lexical baselines in recall and achieving strong citation support and semantic edge validation. The study demonstrates MEKG’s effectiveness through controlled benchmarks, diagnostic tests, and human adjudication, positioning it as an auditable structural layer for survey generation.
