Build a graph for RAG application for a price of a chocolate bar! What is GraphRAG for you? What is GraphRAG? What does GraphRAG mean from your perspective? What if you could have a standard RAG and a GraphRAG as a combi-package, with just a query switch? The fact is, there is no concrete, universal

In this blog, Ben Kass walks through the minimum requirements to call something a "semantic layer," and how the pieces connect to each other.

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).

Dynamic Reasoning Graphs + LLMs = 🤝 Large Language Models (LLMs) often stumble on complex tasks when confined to linear reasoning. What if they could dynamically restructure their thought process like humans? A new paper introduces Adaptive Graph of Thoughts (AGoT), a test-time framework that replaces rigid prompting strategies (like Chain/Tree of Thought) with dynamic directed acyclic graphs (DAGs). Instead of forcing fixed reasoning steps, AGoT recursively decomposes problems into sub-tasks, selectively expanding only the most critical pathways. This is crucial for industries like scientific research or legal analysis, where problems demand non-linear, nested reasoning. The key innovation lies in complexity checks: AGoT assesses each reasoning node, spawning sub-graphs for intricate subtasks while resolving simpler ones directly. This mirrors how experts allocate mental effort—drilling into uncertainties while streamlining obvious steps. The framework achieved 46.2% improvement on GPQA (a notoriously hard science QA benchmark), rivaling gains from compute-heavy fine-tuning. By unifying chain, tree, and graph paradigms, AGoT retains CoT’s clarity, ToT’s exploration, and GoT’s flexibility without manual tuning. The result? LLMs that self-adapt their reasoning depth based on problem complexity—no architectural changes needed. For AI practitioners, AGoT’s DAG structure offers a principled interface to scale reasoning modularly. ↓ 𝐖𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐚 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐝?

📣Hey Semantic Web/SPARQL/RDF/OWL/Knowledge graph community: Finally! We heard you! I just got this fresh from the dev kitchen: 🎉 Try our free SPARQL query result visualization widget for Jupyter Notebooks! Based on our popular generic graph visualization widget for Jupyter, this widget makes it super convenient to add beautiful graph visualizations of your SPARQL queries to your Jupyter Notebooks. Check out the example notebooks for Google Colab in the GitHub repo https://lnkd.in/e8JP-eiM ✨ This is a pre-1.0-release but already quite capable, as it builds on the well-tested generic widget. We are looking to get your feedback on the features for the final release, so please do take a look and let me know your feedback here, or tell us on GitHub! What features are you missing? What do you like best about the widget? Let me know in the comments and I'll talk to the devs 😊 #sparql #rdf #owl #semanticweb #knowledgegraphs #visualization

I have never been a fan of the "bubble and arrows" kind of graph visualizations. It is generaly useless. But when you can see the entire graph, and can tune the rendering, you start understanding the topology and structure - and ultimately you can tell a story with your graph (and that's what we all love, stories). Gephi is a graph visualization tool to tell these sort of stories with graphs, that has been around for 15 (20 ?) years. Interestingly, while quite a number of Gephi plugins exist to load data (including from neo4j), no decent working plugin exist to load RDF data (yes, there was a "SemanticWebImport" plugin, but it looks outdated, with an old documentation, and does not work with latest - 0.10 - version of Gephi). This doesn't tell anything good for the semantic knowledge graph community. A few weeks ago I literally stumbled upon an old project we developed in 2017 to convert RDF graphs into the GEXF format that can be loaded in Gephi. Time for a serious cleaning, reengineering, and packaging ! So here is a v1.0.0 of the rebranded rdf2gephi utility tool ! The tool runs as a command line that can read an RDF knowledge graph (from files or a SPARQL endpoint), execute a set of SPARQL queries, and turn that into a set of nodes and edges in a GEXF file. rdf2gephi provides default queries to run a simple conversion without any parameters, but most of the time you will want to tune how your graph is turned into GEXF nodes and edges (for example, in my case, `org:Membership` entities relating `foaf:Persons` with `org:Organizations` are not turned into nodes, but into edges, and I want to ignore some other entities). And then what ? then you can load the GEXF file in Gephi, and run a few operations to showcase your graph (see the little screencast video I recorded) : run a layout algorithm, color nodes based on their rdf:type or another attribute you converted, change their size according to the (in-)degree, detect clusters based on a modularity algorithm, etc. etc. - and then export as SVG, PNG, or another format. Also, one of the cool feature supported by the GEXF format are dynamic graphs, where each nodes and edges can be associated to a date range. You can then see your graph evolving through time, like in a movie ! I hope I will be able to tell a more concrete Gephi-powered, RDF-backed graph-story in a future post ! All links in comments.
