Better Later Than Sooner: Neuro-Symbolic Knowledge Graph Construction via Ontology-grounded Post-extraction Correction

arXiv:2605.29168v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Question answering (QA) is a core challenge in AI, particularly for complex queries requiring multi-hop reasoning across documents, or symbolic operations like aggregation or exhaustive listing. Retrieval-augmented generation has become the dominant approach to QA, with recent graph-based variants addressing part of these issues by organizing knowledge to better support compositional questions. However, most textual graph-based RAG methods still lack the structure needed for symbolic operations useful to answer complex questions reliably. This
The paper addresses a critical limitation of current Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) models in processing complex, symbolic queries, which is a significant hurdle in advancing AI capabilities.
This research provides a neuro-symbolic approach to improve knowledge representation and reasoning in AI systems, enabling more reliable answers to complex questions through structured knowledge organization.
The ability of AI systems to perform symbolic operations on knowledge graphs will improve, leading to more robust and accurate complex query answering beyond simple retrieval.
