Knowledge Graph-enhanced Large Language Models (KG-Enhanced LLMs) integrate the linguistic capabilities of LLMs with the structured semantics of Knowledge Graphs (KGs), showing strong potential in knowledge-intensive reasoning tasks. However, existing methods typically adopt query-driven iterative reasoning from a local perspective, which limits their ability to capture semantically distant but crucial information, leading to dual bottlenecks in efficiency and accuracy for complex multi-hop tasks. To address this issue, we propose MIAoG, a multi-view instructed adaptive reasoning of LLM on KG, which is designed to overcome the limitations of local exploration by enabling LLMs to plan, evaluate, and adapt reasoning paths from a global perspective. Instead of query-anchored exploration, MIAoG first prompts the LLM to generate a multi-view instruction set that outlines diverse potential reasoning paths and explicitly specifies global reasoning intentions to guide the model toward coherent and targeted reasoning. During reasoning, MIAoG integrates a real-time introspection mechanism that evaluates the alignment between the current path and the instructions, adaptively pruning inconsistent trajectories to enhance global consistency while maintaining efficiency. Extensive experiments on multiple public datasets show that MIAoG achieves state-of-the-art performance in KG-enhanced LLM reasoning, particularly excelling in complex multi-hop scenarios.
Knowledge Base Question Answering (KBQA) leverages structured knowledge bases to offer superior interpretability and hallucination resistance, making it a critical technology for precise knowledge reasoning. However, the prevailing LLM-based generate-then-execute formulation of semantic parsing is limited by strict syntactic constraints, making it primarily prone to structural deviations that render queries unexecutable, while suffering from semantic deviations that yield incorrect execution results. To address these challenges, we propose the Execution as Verification (EVER) framework, reframing semantic parsing as an iterative, self-correcting reasoning process driven by execution feedback. First, motivated by the insight that query executability serves as a strong proxy for answer correctness, we introduce Fine-Grained Execution-Aware Planning. This mechanism decomposes complex semantic parsing into a sequence of stepwise reasoning processes oriented by executability verification, ensuring high query executability. We further design a Self-Guided Semantic Correction mechanism based on execution result verification, utilizing execution feedback to verify and calibrate semantic deviations, thereby ensuring the semantic correctness of executable queries. Experimental results on the WebQSP and CWQ datasets demonstrate that our method achieves significant improvements in both query executability and answer accuracy, achieving state-of-the-art performance, particularly in complex multi-hop scenarios.
