Choosing the Right Format: How Knowledge Graph Layouts Impact AI Reasoning ... 👉 Why This Matters Most AI systems blend knowledge graphs (structured data) with large language models (flexible reasoning). But there’s a hidden variable: "how" you translate the graph into text for the AI. Researchers discovered that the formatting choice alone can swing performance by up to "17.5%" on reasoning tasks. Imagine solving 1 in 5 more problems correctly just by adjusting how you present data. 👉 What They Built KG-LLM-Bench is a new benchmark to test how language models reason with knowledge graphs. It includes five tasks: - Triple verification (“Does this fact exist?”) - Shortest path finding (“How are two concepts connected?”) - Aggregation (“How many entities meet X condition?”) - Multi-hop reasoning (“Which entities linked to A also have property B?”) - Global analysis (“Which node is most central?”) The team tested seven models (Claude, GPT-4o, Gemini, Llama, Nova) with five ways to “textualize” graphs, from simple edge lists to structured JSON and semantic web formats like RDF Turtle. 👉 Key Insights 1. Format matters more than assumed:   - Structured JSON and edge lists performed best overall, but results varied by task.   - For example, JSON excels at aggregation tasks (data is grouped by entity), while edge lists help identify central nodes (repeated mentions highlight connections). 2. Models don’t cheat: Replacing real entity names with fake ones (e.g., “France” → “Verdania”) caused only a 0.2% performance drop, proving models rely on context, not memorized knowledge. 3. Token efficiency:   - Edge lists used ~2,600 tokens vs. JSON-LD’s ~13,500. Shorter formats free up context space for complex reasoning.   - But concise ≠ always better: structured formats improved accuracy for tasks requiring grouped data. 4. Models struggle with directionality:   Counting outgoing edges (e.g., “Which countries does France border?”) is easier than incoming ones (“Which countries border France?”), likely due to formatting biases. 👉 Practical Takeaways - Optimize for your task: Use JSON for aggregation, edge lists for centrality. - Test your model: The best format depends on the LLM—Claude thrived with RDF Turtle, while Gemini preferred edge lists. - Don’t fear pseudonyms: Masking real names minimally impacts performance, useful for sensitive data. The benchmark is openly available, inviting researchers to add new tasks, graphs, and models. As AI handles larger knowledge bases, choosing the right “data language” becomes as critical as the reasoning logic itself.

🚀 Thrilled to share our latest work published in Nature Machine Intelligence! 📄 "A comprehensive large-scale biomedical knowledge graph for AI-powered data-driven biomedical research" In this study, we constructed iKraph, one of the most comprehensive biomedical knowledge graphs to date, using a human-level information extraction pipeline that won both the LitCoin NLP Challenge and the BioCreative Challenge. iKraph integrates insights from over 34 million PubMed abstracts and 40 public databases, enabling unprecedented scale and precision in automated knowledge discovery (AKD). 💡 What sets our work apart? We developed a causal knowledge graph and a probabilistic semantic reasoning (PSR) algorithm to infer indirect entity relationships, such as drug-disease relationships. This time-aware framework allowed us to retrospectively and prospectively validate drug repurposing and drug target predictions, something rarely done in prior work. ✅ For COVID-19, we predicted hundreds of drug candidates in real-time, one-third of which were later supported by clinical trials or publications. ✅ For cystic fibrosis, we demonstrated our predictions were often validated up to a decade later, suggesting our method could significantly accelerate the drug discovery pipeline. ✅ Across diverse diseases and common drugs, we achieved benchmark-setting recall and positive predictive rates, pushing the boundaries of what's possible in drug repurposing. We believe this study sets a new frontier in biomedical discovery and demonstrates the power of structured knowledge and interpretability in real-world applications. 📚 Read the full paper: https://lnkd.in/egYgbYT4? 📌 Access the platform: https://lnkd.in/ecxwHBK7 📂 Access the data and code: https://lnkd.in/eBp2GEnH LitCoin NLP Challenge: https://lnkd.in/e-cBc6eR Kudos to our incredible team and collaborators who made this possible! #DrugDiscovery #AI #KnowledgeGraph #Bioinformatics #MachineLearning #NatureMachineIntelligence #DrugRepurposing #LLM #BiomedicalAI #NLP #COVID19 #Insilicom #NIH #NCI #NSF #ARPA-H | 10 comments on LinkedIn

The amount of biomedical data is growing, and managing it is increasingly challenging. While Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable (FAIR) data principles provide guidance, their adoption has proven difficult, especially in larger enterprises like pharmaceutical companies. In this manuscript, we describe how we leverage an Ontology-Based Data Management (OBDM) strategy for digital transformation in Novo Nordisk Research & Early Development. Here, we include both our technical blueprint and our approach for organizational change management. We further discuss how such an OBDM ecosystem plays a pivotal role in the organization’s digital aspirations for data federation and discovery fuelled by artificial intelligence. Our aim for this paper is to share the lessons learned in order to foster dialogue with parties navigating similar waters while collectively advancing the efforts in the fields of data management, semantics and data driven drug discovery.

KET-RAG: Turbocharging AI Agents with 10x Cheaper, Smarter Knowledge Retrieval This Multi-Granular Graph Framework uses PageRank and Keyword-Chunk Graph to have the Best Cost-Quality Tradeoff ﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌ 》The Problem: Knowledge Graphs Are Expensive (and Clunky) AI agents need context to answer complex questions—like connecting “COVID vaccines” to “myocarditis risks” across research papers. But today’s solutions face two nightmares: ✸ Cost: Building detailed knowledge graphs with LLMs can cost $33,000 for a 5GB legal case. ✸ Quality: Cheap methods (like KNN graphs) miss key relationships, leading to 32% worse answers. ☆ Imagine training an AI doctor that either bankrupts you or misdiagnoses patients. Ouch. ﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌ 》The Fix: KET-RAG’s Two-Layer Brain KET-RAG merges precision (knowledge graphs) and efficiency (keyword-text maps) into one system: ✸ Layer 1: Knowledge Graph Skeleton ☆ Uses PageRank to find core text chunks (like “vaccine side effects” in medical docs). ☆ Builds a sparse graph only on these chunks with LLMs—saving 80% of indexing costs. ✸ Layer 2: Keyword-Chunk Bipartite Graph ☆ Links keywords (e.g., “myocarditis”) to all related text snippets—no LLM needed. ☆ Acts as a “fast lane” for retrieving context without expensive entity extraction. ﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌ 》Results: Beating Microsoft’s Graph-RAG with Pennies On HotpotQA and MuSiQue benchmarks, KET-RAG: ✸ Retrieves 81.6% of critical info vs. Microsoft’s 74.6%—with 10x lower cost. ✸ Boosts answer accuracy (F1 score) by 32.4% while cutting indexing bills by 20%. ✸ Scales to terabytes of data without melting budgets. ☆ Think of it as a Tesla Model 3 outperforming a Lamborghini at 1/10th the price. ﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌ 》Why AI Agents Need This AI agents aren’t just chatbots—they’re problem solvers for medicine, law, and customer service. KET-RAG gives them: ✸ Real-time, multi-hop reasoning: Connecting “drug A → gene B → side effect C” in milliseconds. ✸ Cost-effective scalability: Deploying agents across millions of documents without going broke. ✸ Adaptability: Mixing precise knowledge graphs (for critical data) with keyword maps (for speed).

LLMs that automatically fill knowledge gaps - too good to be true? Large Language Models (LLMs) often stumble in logical tasks due to hallucinations, especially when relying on incomplete Knowledge Graphs (KGs). Current methods naively trust KGs as exhaustive truth sources - a flawed assumption in real-world domains like healthcare or finance where gaps persist. SymAgent is a new framework that approaches this problem by making KGs active collaborators, not passive databases. Its dual-module design combines symbolic logic with neural flexibility: 1. Agent-Planner extracts implicit rules from KGs (e.g., "If drug X interacts with Y, avoid co-prescription") to decompose complex questions into structured steps. 2. Agent-Executor dynamically pulls external data when KG triples are missing, bypassing the "static repository" limitation. Perhaps most impressively, SymAgent’s self-learning observes failed reasoning paths to iteratively refine its strategy and flag missing KG connections - achieving 20-30% accuracy gains over raw LLMs. Equipped with SymAgent, even 7B models rival their much larger counterparts by leveraging this closed-loop system. It would be great if LLMs were able to autonomously curate knowledge and adapt to domain shifts without costly retraining. But are we there yet? Are hybrid architectures like SymAgent the future? ↓ Liked this post? Join my newsletter with 50k+ readers that breaks down all you need to know about the latest LLM research: llmwatch.com 💡
