Build2SPARQL: A Large-Scale Text-to-SPARQL Benchmark Dataset for Building Knowledge Graph Querying

Build2SPARQL is a large-scale benchmark dataset for translating natural-language questions into SPARQL queries over building knowledge graphs. The dataset is generated by a KG‑grounded pipeline that produces 6,136 executable SPARQL queries and 30,680 corresponding natural-language questions across six query-pattern families and five vocabulary registers, covering 201 building KGs. Human validation shows high semantic fidelity, naturalness, and operational plausibility, and retrieval‑augmented evaluation demonstrates significant accuracy gains for open‑weight language models.

Enabling Knowledge Graph Understanding at Scale with the EXplore Your Graphs ENgine (EXYGEN)

The paper introduces EXYGEN, a framework that enables conversational access to large knowledge graphs by combining VoID descriptions, ShEx schemas, retrieved triples, and example question‑query pairs in a retrieval‑augmented generation pipeline. On the SciQA benchmark, this approach achieves an exact‑match score of 0.419 without fine‑tuning any large language model, and shows that larger general‑purpose LLMs can outperform smaller code‑specialized ones when provided sufficient context. To scale metadata generation for very large KGs, the authors propose a predicate‑coverage‑aware parallel graph sampling strategy that preserves structural diversity, reduces runtime by over 80× on OpenCitations Meta and GESIS, and is the only tractable method for obtaining complete metadata on ORKG.

Preference Shapes Relevance: Cross-component Hierarchical Semantic Alignment for Personalized Generative Retrieval

The paper introduces CHAP, a personalized generative retrieval framework that aligns query semantics with item representations through a hierarchical semantic alignment module and models user behavior using both discrete Semantic IDs and continuous representations. It also proposes a Residual Cascading Generation mechanism to reduce inference latency by limiting the Transformer decoder to a single pass. Experiments on multiple datasets and online A/B tests show that CHAP outperforms existing methods, demonstrating its practical value.
