GraphRAG on Technical Documents - Impact of Knowledge Graph Schema

Authors: Henri Scaffidi, Melinda Hodkiewicz, Caitlin Woods, and Nicole Roocke

Published in: TGDK, Volume 3, Issue 2 (2025). Transactions on Graph Data and Knowledge, Volume 3, Issue 2

Abstract
Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) is seeing rapid adoption in industry to enable employees to query information captured in proprietary data for their organisation. In this work, we test the impact of domain-relevant knowledge graph schemas on the results of Microsoft’s GraphRAG pipeline. Our approach aims to address the poor quality of GraphRAG responses on technical reports rich in domain-specific terms. The use case involves technical reports about geology, chemistry and mineral processing published by the Minerals Research Institute of Western Australia (MRIWA). Four schemas are considered: a simple five-class minerals domain expert-developed schema, an expanded minerals domain schema, the Microsoft GraphRAG auto-generated schema, and a schema-less GraphRAG. These are compared to a conventional baseline RAG. Performance is evaluated using a scoring approach that accounts for the mix of correct, incorrect, additional, and missing content in RAG responses. The results show that the simple five-class minerals domain schema extracts approximately 10% more entities from the MRIWA reports than the other schema options. Additionally, both the five-class and the expanded eight-class minerals domain schemas produce the most factually correct answers and the fewest hallucinations. We attribute this to the minerals-specific schemas extracting more relevant, domain-specific information during the Indexing stage. As a result, the Query stage’s context window includes more high-value content. This contributes to the observed improvement in answer quality compared to the other pipelines. In contrast, pipelines with fewer domain-related entities in the KG retrieve less valuable information, leaving more room for irrelevant content in the context window. Baseline RAG responses were typically shorter, less complete, and contained more hallucinations compared to our GraphRAG pipelines. We provide a complete set of resources at https://github.com/nlp-tlp/GraphRAG-on-Minerals-Domain/tree/main. These resources include links to the MRIWA reports, a set of questions (from simple to challenging) along with domain-expert curated answers, schemas, and evaluations of the pipelines.

Whelk: An OWL EL+RL Reasoner Enabling New Use Cases

Authors: James P. Balhoff and Christopher J. Mungall

Published in: TGDK, Volume 2, Issue 2 (2024): Special Issue on Resources for Graph Data and Knowledge. Transactions on Graph Data and Knowledge, Volume 2, Issue 2

Abstract
Many tasks in the biosciences rely on reasoning with large OWL terminologies (Tboxes), often combined with even larger databases. In particular, a common task is retrieval queries that utilize relational expressions; for example, “find all genes expressed in the brain or any part of the brain”. Automated reasoning on these ontologies typically relies on scalable reasoners targeting the EL subset of OWL, such as ELK. While the introduction of ELK has been transformative in the incorporation of reasoning into bio-ontology quality control and production pipelines, we have encountered limitations when applying it to use cases involving high throughput query answering or reasoning about datasets describing instances (Aboxes). Whelk is a fast OWL reasoner for combined EL+RL reasoning. As such, it is particularly useful for many biological ontology tasks, particularly those characterized by large Tboxes using the EL subset of OWL, combined with Aboxes targeting the RL subset of OWL. Whelk is implemented in Scala and utilizes immutable functional data structures, which provides advantages when performing incremental or dynamic reasoning tasks. Whelk supports querying complex class expressions at a substantially greater rate than ELK, and can answer queries or perform incremental reasoning tasks in parallel, enabling novel applications of OWL reasoning.

Exploring Energy Deprivation Across Small Areas in England and Wales (Short Paper)

Authors: Meixu Chen, Alex Singleton, and Caitlin Robinson

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 277, 12th International Conference on Geographic Information Science (GIScience 2023)

Abstract
Building on a growing field of research on vulnerability to energy poverty, this study focused on addressing the rising energy crisis by examining the issue of energy deprivation in local areas of England and Wales. We developed a classification for energy deprivation using a clustering method to group multiple indicators across various domains. By doing this, we identify spatial disparities of energy deprivation for people living in different neighbourhoods, aiming to provide valuable insights for governments, charities and stakeholders and inform policy making and intervention.
