IfcLLM: Natural Language Querying of IFC Models through Complementary Relational and Graph Representations

Read the original on arXiv Computation and Language →

IfcLLM is a framework that enables natural language querying of Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) models by combining relational and graph data representations. It routes attribute retrieval queries to a relational backend and spatial reasoning queries to a graph backend, with an LLM agent coordinating the process through iterative retry-and-refine reasoning. In tests on 30 query scenarios across three IFC models, the best configuration achieved 96% accuracy, and experiments with open-weight LLMs suggest the approach can be deployed locally in data-sensitive AEC environments.

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.

NL2SQL with Iterative Self-Refinement

The paper presents a multi‑agent, persona‑driven NL2SQL framework that addresses common LLM shortcomings such as schema hallucination, syntax errors, and intent mismatch. It incorporates domain relevance detection, schema‑grounded knowledge construction, KPI‑aware SQL synthesis, syntax‑level self‑repair via sqlite feedback, and semantic consistency checking through SQL‑to‑NL reverse engineering. Evaluated on 60 queries, the system achieves 90% correctness using Mistral across seven coordinated LLM calls, demonstrating a significant improvement in reliability for high‑stakes environments.

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.
