SeedER: Seed-and-Expand Retrieval from Knowledge Graphs

arXiv:2605.23753v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Knowledge graphs (KGs) offer a rich representation for relational knowledge, but their irregular structure makes retrieval challenging: ego-graph expansion grows rapidly, and dense embedding methods struggle with multi-hop compositional queries. Existing agent-based graph exploration approaches, while expressive, are often too expensive for large-scale retrieval. We introduce SeedER (Seed-and-Expand Retrieval), a retrieval framework that explicitly leverages KG structure through iterative, low-cost expansion. SeedER first seeds a compact set of c
