Neural-Symbolic Reasoning over Knowledge Graphs: A Survey from a Query Perspective

The article surveys neural-symbolic reasoning over knowledge graphs from a query perspective, highlighting the limitations of traditional symbolic methods when dealing with incomplete or noisy data. It discusses how the fusion of deep learning and symbolic reasoning—termed Neural Symbolic AI—offers interpretable and versatile solutions, and examines the role of large language models in advancing knowledge graph inference. The survey provides a comprehensive review of query types, classification of neural-symbolic approaches, and future directions for integrating LLMs with knowledge graph reasoning.

LLMs+Graphs: Toward Graph-Native, Synergistic AI Systems

Large Language Models (LLMs) have advanced rapidly, but their limitations in structured and multi-hop reasoning underscore the need for graph-native, synergistic artificial intelligence (AI) systems. Graph-structured data underpins critical applications across social, biological, financial, transportation, web, and knowledge domains, making it essential to understand how LLMs can leverage graph computation for grounded, context-rich inference.

Better Later Than Sooner: Neuro-Symbolic Knowledge Graph Construction via Ontology-grounded Post-extraction Correction

The paper introduces a neuro‑symbolic framework for constructing knowledge graphs (KGs) that are grounded in an ontology. It combines open‑domain extraction, embedding‑based canonicalization of types and predicates, and a post‑extraction LLM‑based correction step to fix ontology violations, thereby reducing token usage and improving KG consistency. The resulting KGs support symbolic querying, as evidenced by the prevalence of SPARQL graph patterns in the extracted data.

KGFR: A Foundation Retriever for Generalized Knowledge Graph Question Answering

KGFR introduces a Knowledge Graph Foundation Retriever that collaborates with large language models to enhance knowledge‑intensive question answering. By encoding relations with LLM‑generated descriptions and initializing entities from question roles, KGFR enables zero‑shot generalization to unseen knowledge graphs. Its Asymmetric Progressive Propagation technique efficiently handles large graphs, while a controllable reasoning loop allows the LLM to request candidate answers, supporting facts, and reasoning paths.

RelAgent: LLM Agents as Data Scientists for Relational Learning

RelAgent is an LLM-based autonomous data scientist designed for relational learning. It operates in two phases: first, the LLM agent constructs SQL feature programs and selects a predictive model using database, validation, and evaluation tools; second, the resulting program is executed without further LLM calls. The final predictor combines SQL queries and a classical model, providing fast, deterministic, and interpretable predictions that rely solely on human-readable query-defined features.
