arXiv:2609.12791v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) has empowered Large Language Models (LLMs) to tackle knowledge-intensive tasks. However, navigating global, heterogeneous knowledge bases (large-scale knowledge graphs and text corpora) for complex reasoning remains a challenge. Existing methods typically employ reactive, graph-driven exploration strategies, which blindly follow graph topology without adapting to the question context or evolving exploration progress, and lack deep bidirectional synergy between graph and text. To address these limitations, we propose CoG (Cognition on Graph), a cognitive-inspired, training-free framework for adaptive knowledge exploration. Drawing inspiration from human problem-solving, CoG performs a continuous plan-explore-reflect cycle, where it proactively formulates investigation plans, performs dual-source retrieval, and dynamically reflects on progress to adjust strategies. Crucially, it establishes deep bidirectional synergy between structured graph and unstructured text, where entities extracted from text dynamically guide graph exploration to bridge knowledge gaps. Extensive experiments on seven multi-hop QA benchmarks demonstrate that CoG significantly outperforms state-of-the-art methods while achieving superior exploration efficiency.

arXiv:2605.25964v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: AI Scientists have shown promising progress across multiple stages of the research pipeline, among which automatic scientific paper writing remains a formidable challenge. The Introduction writing is especially challenging, which demands not only linguistic fluency, but logical soundness and verifiable faithfulness. Most AI-assisted methods treat the task as text generation instead of reasoning and structuring, leading to severe drawbacks, e.g., hallucinating citations. To address this, we first formulate the Content-Conditional Introduction Generation (CCIG) task, which requires grounding the Introduction in the paper's core evidence. We then propose LECTOR, a novel Logic-Expression Co-Reinforcement Learning framework that can strictly follow the scientist's logic, add high-quality citations and keep structured expressions. LECTOR first constructs a logic-reasoning graph from the paper's main body to serve as a verifiable logical blueprint. Subsequently, it employs a Logic-Expression Co-Rewarding mechanism to jointly optimize for both the graph's structural fidelity and the final narrative's quality. We conduct a dataset from Nature Communications papers to assess our method. Extensive experiments show consistent improvements in both logic fidelity and Introduction generation quality metrics, e.g., Graph Quality (+26.7%), Citation Quality (+8.6%), and Paper Consistency (+3.3%).
