A Storage-Retrieval Gap in Parametric Knowledge Graph Memory

Read the original on arXiv Machine Learning →

The paper investigates a parametric approach to knowledge graph memory by compiling each entity into a LoRA adapter, enabling zero‑cost query-time retrieval via weight injection. On the MetaQA dataset, these adapters encode context‑free factual knowledge, improving exact‑match scores by up to +0.243 over a base model and achieving an oracle gap of +0.283. However, the stored knowledge is not recoverable through similarity or embedding‑based methods, indicating that knowledge is stored locally and does not transfer across semantically neighboring entities.

Select, Don't Train: The Benefits of Modular Entity Disambiguation with LLM-Based Selection

The paper investigates modular entity disambiguation by separating candidate retrieval from entity selection. It compares sparse retrieval (BM25), Web KB search, and a dense retriever, all paired with large language model selectors. Results show that a training‑free BM25 retriever combined with an LLM selector achieves state‑of‑the‑art performance on the ZELDA benchmark, and the modular approach enables abstention when retrieval fails.

VisKG-LM: Compiling Knowledge Graphs into Visual Memory for Multiple-Choice Question Answering

VisKG‑LM proposes compiling retrieved knowledge graph subgraphs into static visual memories rather than re‑encoding them during each inference step. The method serializes each subgraph as Relation‑Labeled Paths, renders them as images that preserve the graph’s branching structure, and caches these images for reuse. At inference, a language model processes the question and candidate text first, then consults the cached visual memory only at its final layer, yielding improved performance on CommonsenseQA, OpenBookQA, and MedQA‑USMLE compared to both text‑only baselines and a large vision‑language model.

Knowledge Graph Enhanced Memory-Augmented Retrieval for Long Context Modeling

arXiv:2606. 14047v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Long-context language modeling requires not only extending context windows but maintaining coherent understanding of entity states and relationships across thousands of tokens -- a challenge that semantic similarity alone cannot address.
