arXiv:2411. 19504v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: The advance of large language models (LLMs) has unlocked great opportunities in complex multi-modal data management tasks, particularly in question answering (QA) over complicated multi-table relational data.

arXiv:2607. 06527v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multi-hop Question Answering over Knowledge Graphs faces a critical challenge: traditional retrieve-then-read pipelines break differentiability, preventing the retriever from learning to bridge the semantic gap where intermediate nodes lack lexical overlap with the query.

arXiv:2608. 09779v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Answering complex conditional questions using Large Language Models (LLMs) and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) remains a challenge, particularly in domain-specific contexts where general-purpose LLMs and RAG tend to underperform.

arXiv:2606. 08491v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Relational deep learning (RDL) converts relational databases (RDBs) into heterogeneous graphs, but graphs derived directly from database schemas are often not well suited for how graph neural networks (GNNs) perform relational reasoning.
