Graph-Theoretic Approaches to Knowledge Retrieval

Optimizing Subgraph Extraction for Dynamic Question Answering

Core Concepts

Algorithmic Efficiency

Explores subgraph extraction techniques in knowledge-enhanced retrieval.

Complexity Analysis

Provides formal analysis of computational complexity under varying graph connectivity patterns.

Performance Guarantees

Presents novel algorithms with provable guarantees for real-time traversal.

Key Algorithmic Innovations

Hybrid Graph Traversal

Combines classic algorithms like A* with newer methods like Beam Search and WaterCircles, dynamically adapting to constraints.

Provable Guarantees

Offers polylogarithmic time complexity and stability metrics, ensuring consistent response times and bounded degradation.

Batch-Dynamic & Streaming Models

Processes batches of graph updates or queries in parallel to minimize latency for high-frequency applications.

Compressed Data Structures

Functional tree structures (like C-trees) and memory-optimized representations enable fast updates and queries on large graphs.

Real-Time Traversal in Practice

Low-Latency Responses

Coupled with stream-processing frameworks (Kafka, Flink) for instantaneous pattern flagging, recommendations, or context updates.

Robustness & Scalability

Benchmarking on HotpotQA & TriviaQA shows reduced sensitivity to graph constraints and improved robustness for LLM agents.

Performance Guarantee Methods

Analytic Benchmarks

Systematic testing on benchmark datasets quantifies stability and accuracy under different constraints.

Resource Efficiency

State-of-the-art performance on commodity hardware, using less memory and running faster than previous methods.

Adaptive Retrieval

Dynamically maintains a tunable trade-off between completeness and relevance for different query types.
