Narrative Knowledge Weaver: Narrative-Centric Retrieval-Augmented Reasoning for Long-Form Text Understanding

Read the original on arXiv AI →

arXiv:2606. 05724v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Long-form narrative QA requires reasoning over evolving story worlds rather than isolated passages: answers may depend on earlier goals, changing character states, social relations, causal triggers, temporal position, and later consequences.

Narrative World Model: Narratology-Grounded Writer Memory for Long-Form Fiction

arXiv:2607. 05577v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Long-form fiction writers need memory that answers multi-hop questions about evolving story state: who knows a secret and when they learned it, whether an event preceded the narration that revealed it, whether a setup paid off, and how a relationship shifted.

NS-ST-GraphRAG: Neuro-Symbolic Spatio-Temporal GraphRAG for Literary Knowledge Processing

NS-ST-GraphRAG is a neuro‑symbolic spatio‑temporal GraphRAG framework designed to process long‑form literary narratives by integrating ontology‑guided extraction, deterministic constraint checking, dual temporal coordinates, spatial scene attributes, and dynamic sub‑graph retrieval. It selects the appropriate graph state based on the temporal and spatial scope of a query, grounding generated answers in traceable evidence. The authors also introduce Red‑Chamber‑QA, an open multi‑hop question‑answering benchmark for classical Chinese literature, and report that NS‑ST‑GraphRAG outperforms a frozen‑window baseline and a closed‑book model on a held‑out 120‑question split.
