📝 摘要(中文)

大型语言模型(LLMs)在知识更新方面面临挑战,常导致过时或不准确的回答。为此,本文提出FiSKE,一个细粒度状态知识探索的新范式。FiSKE通过将问题分解为细粒度线索,并在知识探索过程中采用自适应映射策略,解决了线索与知识图谱之间的模糊性。实验结果表明,FiSKE在知识检索上超越了现有先进方法,同时显著减少了LLM调用的平均次数。

🔬 方法详解

问题定义:本文旨在解决大型语言模型在知识更新中面临的知识过时和不准确的问题。现有方法通常将问题整体处理,导致知识图谱中的信息与问题之间存在粒度不匹配,造成冗余探索和重要知识遗漏。

核心思路:FiSKE的核心思路是将问题分解为细粒度线索,并在知识探索过程中采用自适应映射策略,以解决线索与知识图谱之间的模糊性。这种设计旨在提高知识检索的精确性,同时保持高效性。

技术框架:FiSKE的整体架构包括问题分解模块、动态映射模块和线索驱动的终止机制。首先,将输入问题分解为多个细粒度线索,然后通过动态映射模块进行知识检索,最后根据线索的映射情况决定是否使用链式推理。

关键创新:FiSKE的主要创新在于其细粒度状态知识探索的范式,能够动态推断线索与知识图谱之间的上下文对应关系,并保持状态记录。这与现有方法的粗粒度处理方式形成了本质区别。

关键设计:在设计中,FiSKE采用了自适应映射策略,确保线索与知识图谱的对应关系得到充分利用。同时,线索驱动的终止机制确保了在必要时能够回归到链式推理,增强了模型的灵活性和准确性。

📄 摘要(原文)

Large Language Models (LLMs) have shown impressive capabilities, yet updating their knowledge remains a significant challenge, often leading to outdated or inaccurate responses. A proposed solution is the integration of external knowledge bases, such as knowledge graphs, with LLMs. Most existing methods use a paradigm that treats the whole question as the objective, with relevant knowledge being incrementally retrieved from the knowledge graph. However, this paradigm often leads to a granularity mismatch between the target question and the retrieved entities and relations. As a result, the information in the question cannot precisely correspond to the retrieved knowledge. This may cause redundant exploration or omission of vital knowledge, thereby leading to enhanced computational consumption and reduced retrieval accuracy. To address the limitations of coarse-grained knowledge exploration, we propose FiSKE, a novel paradigm for Fine-grained Stateful Knowledge Exploration. FiSKE first decomposes questions into fine-grained clues, then employs an adaptive mapping strategy during knowledge exploration process to resolve ambiguity in clue-to-graph mappings. This strategy dynamically infers contextual correspondences while maintaining a stateful record of the mappings. A clue-driven termination mechanism ensures rigorous augmentation--leveraging fully mapped paths for LLMs while reverting to chain-of-thought reasoning when necessary. Our approach balances precision and efficiency. Experiments on multiple datasets revealed that our paradigm surpasses current advanced methods in knowledge retrieval while significantly reducing the average number of LLM invocations.
