通过强化证据路径重要性，提升大模型在知识图谱问答中的推理能力。

Due to the remarkable reasoning ability, Large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated impressive performance in knowledge graph question answering (KGQA) tasks, which find answers to natural language questions over knowledge graphs (KGs). To alleviate the hallucinations and lack of knowledge issues of LLMs, existing methods often retrieve the question-related information from KGs to enrich the input context. However, most methods focus on retrieving the relevant information while ignoring the importance of different types of knowledge in reasoning, which degrades their performance. To this end, this paper reformulates the KGQA problem as a graphical model and proposes a three-stage framework named the Evidence Path Enhanced Reasoning Model (EPERM) for KGQA. In the first stage, EPERM uses the fine-tuned LLM to retrieve a subgraph related to the question from the original knowledge graph. In the second stage, EPERM filters out the evidence paths that faithfully support the reasoning of the questions, and score their importance in reasoning. Finally, EPERM uses the weighted evidence paths to reason the final answer. Since considering the importance of different structural information in KGs for reasoning, EPERM can improve the reasoning ability of LLMs in KGQA tasks. Extensive experiments on benchmark datasets demonstrate that EPERM achieves superior performances in KGQA tasks.
