SEAS SearchKG-Based Course QA

Methodology

Evolution from synthetic data to knowledge graph-based reasoning

The Research Journey

Problem

Standard fine-tuning couldn't answer 'Which courses do I need before CSCI 6364?'

Insight

Course relationships need structured representation (prerequisites, topics, instructors)

Solution

Build Knowledge Graph from course data + augment training with graph context

Result

Model can now trace prerequisite chains and answer complex multi-hop queries
