DIAL-KG: Schema-Free Incremental Knowledge Graph Construction via Dynamic Schema Induction and Evolution-Intent Assessment
About
Knowledge Graphs (KGs) are foundational to applications such as search, question answering, and recommendation. Conventional knowledge graph construction methods are predominantly static, rely ing on a single-step construction from a fixed corpus with a prede f ined schema. However, such methods are suboptimal for real-world sce narios where data arrives dynamically, as incorporating new informa tion requires complete and computationally expensive graph reconstruc tions. Furthermore, predefined schemas hinder the flexibility of knowl edge graph construction. To address these limitations, we introduce DIAL KG, a closed-loop framework for incremental KG construction orches trated by a Meta-Knowledge Base (MKB). The framework oper ates in a three-stage cycle: (i) Dual-Track Extraction, which ensures knowledge completeness by defaulting to triple generation and switching to event extraction for complex knowledge; (ii) Governance Adjudica tion, which ensures the fidelity and currency of extracted facts to prevent hallucinations and knowledge staleness; and (iii) Schema Evolution, in which new schemas are induced from validated knowledge to guide subsequent construction cycles, and knowledge from the current round is incrementally applied to the existing KG. Extensive experiments demon strate that our framework achieves state-of-the-art (SOTA) performance in the quality of both the constructed graph and the induced schemas.
