SOURCE-LINKED INTELLIGENCE

A Storage-Retrieval Gap in Parametric Knowledge Graph Memory

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Aug 26, 2026 · UTC

Graph retrieval-augmented generation places retrieved subgraphs into the model's context window at query time, paying a recurring token cost and exposing source data on every call. We study an alternative: compiling a knowledge graph offline into a bank of LoRA adapters, one per entity, that serve as a parametric knowledge layer queried by injecting weights rather than text, at zero query-time context cost. On the MetaQA dataset, we find that subgraph-trained adapters encode context-free factual knowledge that generalizes to unseen questions: on single-valued relations the adapter gains $+0.24
