Large language models (LLMs) have achieved good performance in multiple reasoning tasks. However, they are limited to adapt the rapid knowledge updates in the real-world scenario without retraining the entire LLM or modifying the model weights. Excluding these consuming methods, knowledge graphs (KGs) are used as external memory under knowledge updating because of their structural knowledge and efficient updating ability, which is yet limited by the gap between structural KG and LLM, and the deficient entity-independent semantics. To this end, we propose an LLM reasoning framework with hierarchical relational retrieval for large-scale knowledge updating, named G-HiRel. To integrate the structural edited KG into continuous LLMs, G-HiRel generates hierarchical instructions based on natural language questions. In order to handle the knowledge inconsistency between the KG and LLM and obtain the entity independence, G-HiRel utilizes a designed hierarchical relational retrieval for relational path candidates, which are selected by a designed semantics-based strategy. Finally, top entity-independent relational paths are instantiated and integrated into LLMs to generate the answer, in order to verify the reasoning performance under knowledge edits. Extensive experiments of G-HiRel on three benchmarks show that G-HiRel achieves superiority in terms of accuracy and interpretability. The code of G-HiRel is available at the link: https://github.com/HJJ-designed/G-HiRel.

Traditional VQA models are inherently vulnerable to language bias, resulting in a significant performance drop when encountering out-of-distribution datasets. The conventional VQA models suffer from language bias that indicates a spurious correlation between textual questions and answers. Given the outstanding effectiveness of counterfactual causal inference in eliminating bias, we propose a model agnostic dual-debiasing framework based on Counterfactual Causal Effect (DCCE), which explicitly models two types of language bias(i.e., shortcut and distribution bias) by separate branches under the counterfactual inference framework. The effects of both types ofbias on answer prediction can be effectively mitigated by subtracting direct effect of textual questions on answers from total effect ofvisual questions on answers. Experimental results demonstrate that our proposed DCCE framework significantly reduces language biasand achieves state-of-the-art performance on the benchmark datasets without requiring additional augmented data. Our code is available inhttps://github.com/sxycyck/dcce.

Fake news detection is a challenging problem due to its tremendous real-world political and social impacts. Recent fake news detection works focus on learning news features from News Propagation Graph (NPG). However, little attention is paid to the issues of both authenticity of the relationships and topology imbalance in the structure of NPG, which trick existing methods and thus lead to incorrect prediction results. To tackle these issues, in this paper, we propose a novel Topology imbalance and Relation inauthenticity aware Hierarchical Graph Attention Networks (TR-HGAN) to identify fake news on social media. Specifically, we design a new topology imbalance smoothing strategy to measure the topology weight of each node. Besides, we adopt a hierarchical-level attention mechanism for graph convolutional learning, which can adaptively identify the authenticity of relationships by assigning appropriate weights to each of them. Experiments on real-world datasets demonstrate that TR-HGAN significantly outperforms state-of-the-art methods.
