Co-Evolving Structured Knowledge and Reasoning in Language Models
Retrieval-augmented methods improve factual accuracy by grounding language models in external knowledge, but retrieving over unstructured text often introduces irrelevant context and offers limited control over the retrieved information. Structured knowledge bases offer a more controllable alternative, yet they are expensive to construct and often brittle to reason over. To address these limitations, we propose KBevo: a co-evolving framework that jointly learns to construct a structured knowledge base and reason over it for knowledge-intensive question answering. By optimizing both components end-to-end with QA outcome rewards, our method enables reasoning success to directly improve the ...
