Recent advances in personalized recommendation have sparked great interest in the exploitation of rich structured information provided by knowledge graphs. Unlike most existing approaches that only focus on leveraging knowledge graphs for…
Fact-centric information needs are rarely one-shot; users typically ask follow-up questions to explore a topic. In such a conversational setting, the user's inputs are often incomplete, with entities or predicates left out, and…
Knowledge graphs provide structured context for multi-hop question answering, but deployed systems must balance answer accuracy with strict latency and cost targets while preserving provenance. Static k-hop expansions and "think-longer"…
Knowledge graphs serve as critical resources supporting intelligent systems, but they can be noisy due to imperfect automatic generation processes. Existing approaches to noise detection often rely on external facts, logical rule…
Building effective knowledge graphs (KGs) for Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) is pivotal for advancing question answering (QA) systems. However, its effectiveness is hindered by a fundamental disconnect: the knowledge graph (KG)…
Deep search agents have emerged as a promising paradigm for addressing complex information-seeking tasks, but their training remains challenging due to sparse rewards, weak credit assignment, and limited labeled data. Self-play offers a…
This paper presents a novel approach based on semantic parsing to improve the performance of Knowledge Base Question Answering (KBQA). Specifically, we focus on how to select an optimal query graph from a candidate set so as to retrieve the…
The conversational search paradigm introduces a step change over the traditional search paradigm by allowing users to interact with search agents in a multi-turn and natural fashion. The conversation flows naturally and is usually centered…
In the last decade, driven also by the availability of an unprecedented computational power and storage capabilities in cloud environments we assisted to the proliferation of new algorithms, methods, and approaches in two areas of…
In a conversational system, dynamically generating follow-up questions based on context can help users explore information and provide a better user experience. Humans are usually able to ask questions that involve some general life…
Large language models (LLMs) often struggle with knowledge-intensive tasks due to a lack of background knowledge and a tendency to hallucinate. To address these limitations, integrating knowledge graphs (KGs) with LLMs has been intensively…
Methods for query answering over incomplete knowledge graphs retrieve entities that are likely to be answers, which is particularly useful when such answers cannot be reached by direct graph traversal due to missing edges. However, existing…
Knowledge transfer among multiple networks using their outputs or intermediate activations have evolved through extensive manual design from a simple teacher-student approach (knowledge distillation) to a bidirectional cohort one (deep…
Knowledge Graph Question Answering (KGQA) is a crucial task in natural language processing that requires reasoning over knowledge graphs (KGs) to answer natural language questions. Recent methods utilizing large language models (LLMs) have…

Multi-hop reasoning for question answering (QA) plays a critical role in retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) for modern large language models (LLMs). The accurate answer can be obtained through retrieving relational structure of entities…
The human ability to synchronize the feedback from all their senses inspired recent works in multi-task and multi-modal learning. While these works rely on expensive supervision, our multi-task graph requires only pseudo-labels from expert…
Path queries on a knowledge graph can be used to answer compositional questions such as "What languages are spoken by people living in Lisbon?". However, knowledge graphs often have missing facts (edges) which disrupts path queries. Recent…
Commonsense question answering is a crucial task that requires machines to employ reasoning according to commonsense. Previous studies predominantly employ an extracting-and-modeling paradigm to harness the information in KG, which first…
Reading comprehension QA tasks have seen a recent surge in popularity, yet most works have focused on fact-finding extractive QA. We instead focus on a more challenging multi-hop generative task (NarrativeQA), which requires the model to…
