Ontology-Guided Reverse Thinking Makes Large Language Models Stronger on Knowledge Graph Question Answering (2025.acl-long)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing methods rely on entity vector matching, but the purpose of the question is abstract and difficult to match with specific entities. Existing approaches rely only on entity-vector matching, and there is a problem with multi-hop reasoning. |
| Approach: | They propose a framework that constructs reasoning paths from purposes back to conditions using the KG ontology. |
| Outcome: | Experiments on the WebQSP and CWQ datasets show that ORT significantly improves the capability of large language models in knowledge graph question answering tasks (KGQA). |
