This research addresses the limitations of training large language models on isolated knowledge graph triples by introducing a context-augmented framework that incorporates supporting facts to improve multi-hop reasoning capabilities. The study further enhances model robustness through an adaptive repair pipeline that identifies and corrects factual errors before applying reinforcement learning for generalization on complex reasoning tasks. By validating these methods on disease-specific graphs, the work demonstrates significant performance gains in navigating connected facts beyond single relation retrieval.
Repair Before Reinforce: Context-Augmented Knowledge Graph Reasoning for Multi-Hop Question Answering
arXiv:2609.12230v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Question-answering often requires reasoning across multiple connected facts rather than retrieving a single isolated relation. Knowledge graphs (KGs) provide a structured way to represent such facts, but training large language models (LLMs) only on isolated KG head-relation-tail triples may limit their ability to learn the surrounding context needed for multi-hop reasoning. In this work, we propose a context-augmented training framework for multi-hop question-answering. Although generally applicable, we validate the framework in the context of disease-specific KGs, extracted using a reliable KG extraction framework called GraphMERT, for Gastroparesis and Diabetes. For each primary KG triple, we attach supporting triples extracted from the same source text chunk to form a context graph (CG). This creates two supervision settings: KG-grounded supervision, which uses only the target KG triple or path, and CG-grounded supervision, which uses the target KG triple or path together with supporting context triples. We train the Qwen3-14B model using supervised fine-tuning (SFT) under both settings, producing KGModel and CGModel variants. To strengthen the lower-hop factual foundation of the models, we introduce an LLM-judged, history-aware adaptive repair pipeline that identifies unresolved one-hop failures, continually fine-tunes on targeted repair examples, and removes or quarantines problematic noisy triples. This repair stage enables the models to reach 100% accuracy on the cleaned retained one-hop validation sets. Finally, we employ reinforcement learning (RL) using lower-hop question-answer items and evaluate generalization on harder 3-hop, 4-hop, and 5-hop tasks. Across both diseases, context-augmented supervision consistently improves multi-hop performance over KG-only supervision. RL initialized from repaired SFT checkpoints yields larger and more stable gains.
