New research questions complexity of AI query answering benchmarks

A new paper argues that current benchmarks for complex query answering (CQA) on knowledge graphs may not accurately reflect the difficulty of the task. The research indicates that a significant majority of queries in existing benchmarks can be simplified to basic link prediction problems, leading to an overestimation of model performance. The authors propose a new set of more challenging benchmarks designed to better represent real-world knowledge graph construction and require multi-hop reasoning, demonstrating that current CQA methods fall short on these more rigorous evaluations.

    Is Complex Query Answering Really Complex?

    arXiv:2410.12537v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Complex query answering (CQA) on knowledge graphs (KGs) is gaining momentum as a challenging reasoning task. In this paper, we show that the current benchmarks for CQA might not be as complex as we think, as the way they a…
