Version 0.6

Version 0.6 (2025-01-07)

On January 7, 2025, OpenSPG officially released version 0.6, bringing updates across multiple areas, including domain knowledge mounting, vertical domain schema management, visual knowledge exploration, and support for summary generation tasks. In terms of user experience, it offers a mechanism for resuming knowledge base tasks from breakpoints, introduces a user login and permission system, and optimizes task scheduling for building processes. In developer mode, it supports configuring different models for different stages and enables schema-constraint mode for extraction, significantly enhancing the system's flexibility, usability, performance, and security. This release provides users with a more powerful knowledge management platform that adapts to diverse application scenarios.

🌟 New Features

1. Support for Summary Generation Tasks

   • Native support for abstractive summarization tasks without sacrificing multi-hop factual reasoning accuracy. On the CSQA dataset, while comprehensiveness, diversity, and empowerment metrics are slightly lower than LightRAG (-1.2/10), the factual accuracy metric is better than LightRAG (+0.1/10). On multi-hop question answering datasets such as HotpotQA, TwoWiki, and MuSiQue, since LightRAG and GraphRAG do not provide a factual QA evaluation entry, the EM metric using the default entry is close to 0. For quantitative evaluation results, please refer to the KAG code repository under examples/csqa/README.md and follow the steps to reproduce.

2. Domain Schema Management

   • The product provides SPG schema management capabilities, allowing users to optimize knowledge base construction and inference Q&A performance by customizing schemas.

3. Knowledge Exploration

   • Added a knowledge exploration feature to enable visual query and analysis of knowledge base data, and provided an HTTP API for integration with other systems.

4. Support for Mounting Domain Knowledge in KAG-Builder(Developer Mode)

   • In developer mode, the system supports injecting domain knowledge (domain vocabulary, relationships between terms) into the knowledge base, which can significantly improve knowledge base construction and inference Q&A performance (with a 10%+ improvement in the medical domain).

5. Adding Knowledge Alignment Component to the KAG-Builder Pipeline

   • Kag-Builder provides a default knowledge alignment component that includes features such as filtering out invalid data and linking similar entities. This optimizes the structure and data quality of the graph.

⚙️ User Experience Optimizations

1. Resumable Tasks

   • Provide resumable capabilities for knowledge base construction tasks at the file level and chunk level in both product mode and developer mode, to reduce the time and token consumption caused by full re-runs after task failures.

2. User Login & Permission System

   • Implement a user login and permission system to prevent unauthorized access and operations on the knowledge base data.

3. Optimized Knowledge Base Construction Task Scheduling

   • Provide database-based knowledge base construction task scheduling to avoid task anomalies or interruptions after container restarts.

4. Support for Configuring Different Models at Different Stages (Developer Mode)

   • The system provides a component management mechanism based on a registry, allowing users to instantiate component objects via configuration files. This supports users in developing and embedding custom components into the KAG-Builder and KAG-Solver workflows. Additionally, it enables the configuration of different-sized models at different stages of the workflow, thereby enhancing the overall reasoning and question-answering performance.

5. Optimization of Layout Analysis for Markdown, PDF, and Word Files

   • For Markdown, PDF, and Word files, the system prioritizes dividing the content into chunks based on the file's sections. This ensures that the content within each chunk is more cohesive.**

6. Global Configuration and Knowledge Base Configuration

   • Provide global configuration for the knowledge base, allowing unified settings for storage engines, generation models, and representation model access information.

7. Support for Schema-Constrained Extraction and Linking (Developer Mode)

   • Provide a schema-constraint mode that strictly adheres to schema definitions during the knowledge base construction phase, enabling finer-grained and more complex knowledge extraction.

Version 0.5

Version 0.5 (2024-10-25)

retrieval Augmentation Generation (RAG) technology promotes the integration of domain applications with large models. However, RAG has problems such as a large gap between vector similarity and knowledge reasoning correlation, and insensitivity to knowledge logic (such as numerical values, time relationships, expert rules, etc.), which hinder the implementation of professional knowledge services. On October 25, OpenSPG released version V0.5, officially releasing the professional domain knowledge Service Framework for knowledge enhancement generation (KAG) .

Highlights of the Release Version:

1. KAG: Knowledge Augmented Generation

KAG aims to make full use of the advantages of Knowledge Graph and vector retrieval, and bi-directionally enhance large language models and knowledge graphs through four aspects to solve RAG challenges
(1) LLM-friendly semantic knowledge management
(2) Mutual indexing between the knowledge map and the original snippet.
(3) Logical symbol-guided hybrid inference engine
(4) Knowledge alignment based on semantic reasoning
KAG is significantly better than NaiveRAG, HippoRAG and other methods in multi-hop question and answer tasks. The F1 score on hotpotQA is relatively improved by 19.6, and the F1 score on 2wiki is relatively improved by 33.5

2. Knowledge base management

OpenSPG also provides a user-friendly product interface for KAG, allowing users to upload and manage documents, preview extraction results, and quiz through the visual interface after local deployment. In the knowledge question and answer session, the system not only shows the final answer, but also presents the reasoning process, thus enhancing the transparency and interpretability of the whole question and answer process. Through this product interface, users can use KAG more intuitively and easily

3. Continuous Optimization and Bug Fixes

检索增强生成（RAG）技术推动了领域应用与大模型结合。然而，RAG 存在着向量相似度与知识推理相关性差距大、对知识逻辑（如数值、时间关系、专家规则等）不敏感等问题，这些都阻碍了专业知识服务的落地。10 月 25 日，OpenSPG 发布 V0.5 版本，正式发布了知识增强生成（KAG）的专业领域知识服务框架

版本亮点

1. KAG 专业领域知识服务框架

KAG 旨在充分利用知识图谱和向量检索的优势，并通过四个方面双向增强大型语言模型和知识图谱，以解决 RAG 挑战
(1) 对 LLM 友好的语义化知识管理
(2) 知识图谱与原文片段之间的互索引
(3) 逻辑符号引导的混合推理引擎
(4) 基于语义推理的知识对齐
KAG 在多跳问答任务中显著优于 NaiveRAG、HippoRAG 等方法，在 hotpotQA 上的 F1 分数相对提高了 19.6%，在 2wiki 上的 F1 分数相对提高了33.5%

2. 知识库管理

OpenSPG针对KAG 还提供了一个用户友好的产品界面，支持用户在本地部署后，通过可视化界面进行文档上传和管理、预览抽取结果、以及知识问答。在知识问答环节，系统不仅展示最终答案，还会呈现推理过程，从而增强了整个问答流程的透明度和可解释性。通过这个产品界面，用户能够更直观、更轻松地上手使用 KAG
