Enabling Knowledge Graph Understanding at Scale with the EXplore Your Graphs ENgine (EXYGEN)· EXYGEN：大规模知识图谱理解引擎

We present EXYGEN (EXplore Your Graphs ENgine), a framework for knowledge graph (KG) understanding that enables conversational access to KGs at scale. We address two questions in sequence. First, how effectively can LLMs perform text-to-SPARQL generation given only automatically derived structured metadata and small graph samples, rather than task-specific fine-tuning? We integrate VoID descriptions and ShEx schemas into a retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pipeline and ablate KG-derived context on the SciQA benchmark. Our best configuration -- combining ShEx schemas, retrieved triples, and example question-query pairs -- reaches an exact match of 0.419 on execution results without any LLM fine-tuning. We further find that lexical metrics such as F1 poorly predict query correctness, and
