构建神经图数据管理基准,提升系统在噪声和动态更新下的推理能力

NGDBench: Towards Neural Graph Data Management

  • 提出基于图结构的统一数据抽象框架,融合结构化与非结构化数据
  • 五领域基准测试显示当前大模型查询易受噪声干扰,动态追踪能力弱
  • 支持完整Cypher查询与动态操作,适用于需要持续推理的复杂系统

现实决策依赖的数据日益呈现异构、动态演化和不完整特征。现有数据管理系统仍以被动检索为主,难以挖掘隐含结构或在噪声、缺失与持续更新下进行有效推理。我们主张下一代数据管理需引入神经能力,以揭示复杂潜在关系、区分可靠信号与噪声,并保持状态一致性。为此,我们提出NGDBench,一个涵盖五个领域的基准,统一结构化与非结构化数据源。该基准采用图视图,因其能灵活建模复杂系统、捕捉潜在关联,并兼容如关系表等结构化格式。每个实例包含一个干净的潜在图与一个现实扰动的观测图。NGDBench支持完整Cypher查询及动态数据管理操作。对先进Text-to-Cypher模型与GraphRAG流程的评估表明,当前神经查询方法仍对噪声敏感,且难以追踪动态状态,凸显构建鲁棒、具备推理能力的数据管理系统的迫切需求。代码已开源:https://github.com/HKUST-KnowComp/NGDBench。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Data critical to real-world decision-making is increasingly found within organizations. Such data is heterogeneous, constantly evolving, and only imperfectly captured. However, current data management systems remain largely passive, retrieving what is explicitly stored while offering limited support for uncovering implicit structure or reasoning under noise, incompleteness, and continuous updates. We argue that next-generation data management requires neural capabilities, which can uncover complex latent relationships, distinguish reliable signals from noise, and remain consistent as the underlying data state evolves. To support this direction, we introduce NGDBench, a benchmark across five domains that unifies structured and unstructured sources. NGDBench adopts a graph view because graphs provide a flexible abstraction for modeling complex systems, capturing latent relationships, and subsuming structured formats such as relational tables. Each instance pairs a clean latent graph with a realistically perturbed observed graph. NGDBench supports full Cypher queries and dynamic data management operations. Evaluations of state-of-the-art Text-to-Cypher by LLMs and GraphRAG pipelines reveal that current neural query methods remain sensitive to noise and struggle with dynamic state tracking, highlighting the need for resilient, inference-capable data management. Our code is available at https://github.com/HKUST-KnowComp/NGDBench.
