Building Trustworthy Graph-Agentic RAG for Social Good: Architectures, Failure Propagation, and Assurance by Construction

The paper introduces Graph‑Agentic Retrieval‑Augmented Generation (RAG), a system that blends structured evidence with adaptive agents capable of planning retrieval, navigating relations, verifying claims, delegating tasks, and employing tools. It highlights how defects in graph construction can propagate through retrieval and control decisions, potentially leading to significant outcomes. To address these risks, the authors propose an assurance‑by‑construction framework with five interface contracts—evidence, retrieval, reasoning, capability & delegation, and outcome—that make provenance, validity, authorization, uncertainty, and recoverability explicit, and outline an evaluation agenda for social‑good applications.

Graph-Mediated Large Language Model Systems in the Agentic Era: Reasoning, Knowledge, Retrieval, Execution, and Coordination

The paper surveys how graphs are increasingly used in large language model systems to support reasoning, knowledge grounding, retrieval, memory, execution, and multi‑agent coordination. It introduces an operation‑level taxonomy that distinguishes the function of each graph operation, the component that computes it, and how its output is subsequently used. The authors compare graph observations with external computations, analyze memory updates, and examine execution dependencies, then propose an evaluation framework that organizes benchmarks, diagnostics, and system costs, concluding with open challenges in adaptive computation, memory maintenance, and dependency‑aware recovery.

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.

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.

TRACE-CTI: Auditable Post-Extraction Governance of TTP Claims with Knowledge Graphs

arXiv:2607. 24563v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Security Operations Centers increasingly rely on automated mapping of Cyber Threat Intelligence reports to MITRE ATT&CK, yet extractor outputs remain fallible and are often stored without the evidence, provenance, and validation history needed to decide whether an individual mapping should be trusted.
