Abstract

In order to enable natural language interaction with structured knowledge bases based on ontologies, widely used to represent knowledge in multiple complex domains, Knowledge Graph Question Answering (KGQA) systems are required. Large Language Models (LLMs) can play a pivotal role in this context, however they suffer from factual inaccuracies, hallucinations, and difficulties in navigating complex semantic schemas. To address these limitations, this paper proposes a novel neuro-symbolic Agentic AI framework for KGQA on real-world knowledge graph. By integrating neural reasoning capabilities of LLMs with symbolic tools within a recursive flow orchestrated by LangGraph, the system is able to identify relevant terms, validate them based on specific ontology, and generate SPARQL queries for data retrieval. To demonstrate effectiveness of this approach an experimental evaluation using a real-world smart city knowledge base, implemented in the Snap4City platform, is carried out. Results indicate that the neuro-symbolic workflows improves the accuracy of information retrieval for non-expert users compared to standalone LLM solutions.

Towards Researcher Agents for Knowledge-Graph Question Answering

This work presents an agentic text-to-SPARQL system that goes one step beyond static tool-using agents: a researcher agent that, after each round of inference on a validation set, proposes and tests changes to its own prompts, rules, and tool-orchestration code.

AgentsKG: A Hierarchical Multi-Agent Framework for Open-Domain Knowledge Graph Construction

Knowledge Graph Construction (KGC) is essential for transforming unstructured text into structured knowledge representations. Despite advances in Large Language Models, existing methods treat KGC as a single-pass generation task, conflating extraction, normalization, and validation within a single forward pass. This leads to hallucinated facts, polysemous conflation, and fragmented triples, particularly in open-domain settings where predefined schemas are unavailable. In this work, we propose AgentsKG, a hierarchical multi-agent framework that decouples semantic perception from structural integration. In the Semantic Perception Layer, a multi-role Verification Committee filters hallucinated and invalid assertions through majority voting, while a Contextual Profiler resolves polysemous ambiguities by enriching mentions with context-dependent semantic descriptors. In the Structural Integration Layer, a Knowledge Linker merges redundant entities and relations based on semantic profiles, and an Ontological Logic Auditor enforces logical consistency across the graph. Extensive experiments demonstrate that AgentsKG outperforms state-of-the-art training-free baselines in both extraction accuracy and structural quality, offering a robust approach to open-domain knowledge graph construction without additional training.

PYTHIA: Universal Question Answering over Knowledge Graphs

PYTHIA is presented, a training-free, plug-and-play solution for KGQA over any RDF KG which consists of an LLM agent guided by a relation-centric conceptual model of the KGQA task which is acted upon through a suite of tools for entity linking, graph exploration and query execution.

AutoSchema: Live Schema Grounding for Agentic Text-to-Sparql over Heterogeneous Knowledge Graphs

Life science knowledge graphs make large collections of structured data available through SPARQL, but each resource uses its own schema, identifiers, and links. TogoMCP helps language model agents query these resources by providing curated Metadata Interoperability Exchange files. Creating and maintaining these files still requires language model assisted drafting, validation, and manual review. We study \emph{live schema grounding}, where an agent obtains the schema evidence needed for a question directly from the current endpoints. We present \textsc{autoschema}, a general framework for live schema grounding that requires no training. It inspects live schemas, maps entity names in a question to graph identifiers, explores relation paths, and finds possible connections between resources during iterative query construction. We use TogoMCP as our main comparison framework. We evaluate \textsc{autoschema} on Resource Focused Biomedical KGQA, Multi Resource Biomedical KGQA, Longitudinal Biomedical Semantic QA over BioASQ Task B, and Chemistry Knowledge Graph Transfer to a previously undocumented RDF graph. \textsc{autoschema} improves mean factoid accuracy over TogoMCP in the biomedical KGQA tasks and gives consistent gains in the longitudinal BioASQ evaluation. It also reduces iteration budget exhaustion and uses fewer tool calls on average in the core evaluation. The transfer study gives preliminary evidence that live schema grounding can support irregular and previously unseen graphs without first creating a curated schema file.
