About this paper

Parag Jain, Mirella Lapata

Researchers at the University of Edinburgh developed a framework that integrates Large Language Models with graph-based reasoning to enhance conversational question answering across heterogeneous information sources. The approach uses a graph-based representation of diverse evidence and an evidence memory system, demonstrating improved performance on the ConvMix dataset compared to LLMs without such integration, especially in multi-turn dialogues.

Key insights

  • Graph-based representations effectively integrate heterogeneous information sources (knowledge graphs, text, tables, infoboxes) for Large Language Models.
  • An evidence memory module allows the system to track and reuse previously retrieved information, enhancing performance in multi-turn conversations.
  • Parameter-efficient fine-tuning (LoRA) can effectively integrate structured graph knowledge with LLM capabilities for complex reasoning tasks.
