This book is a practical and example rich guide to combining knowledge graphs with large language models to achieve explainability, provenance, and updatability. It covers ontology and schema design, triple modeling, entity resolution and linking, knowledge graph embeddings, conversion pipelines from graph triples to vector stores, hybrid retrieval using symbolic and semantic approaches, and strategies for fact verification and provenance tracking in retrieval augmented generation systems.
Who this book is for: knowledge engineers, data architects, and natural language processing engineers building semantic systems. Enterprise search and knowledge management teams seeking explainable retrieval. Product teams needing provenance and factual grounding for large language model outputs.
What the reader will learn: how to design and model ontologies and entity schemas for domain knowledge. Pipelines to extract knowledge graph triples from documents and update them incrementally. Techniques for entity linking, disambiguation, and canonicalization. How to build knowledge graph embeddings and convert graph signals into vectorized retrieval. Hybrid retrieval strategies that combine knowledge graph rules with vector similarity and reranking. Methods to provide provenance and verifiable outputs inside retrieval augmented generation flows.
