KG-RAG4SM boosts schema matching with knowledge-graph RAG, +39.79% precision over LLM SOTA

Researchers from Aalborg University and others introduce KG-RAG4SM, a knowledge-graph-based retrieval-augmented generation method for schema matching that reduces LLM hallucinations without retraining. It combines LLM-based, vector-based, graph-traversal and hybrid retrieval with advanced reranking to pull relevant subgraphs from external KGs. It improves precision by 39.79% and F1 by 30.56% over LLM-based SOTA (e.g., Jellyfish-8B) on MIMIC, and precision by 69.20% and F1 by 21.99% over PLM-based SOTA (e.g., SMAT) on Synthea, scaling from commonsense to domain-specific KGs.
