Hidden relationships in a document-derived property graph: top-k chunk embeddings and inverse-distance weighting over a dynamically evolving ontology

arXiv:2609.00387v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language models extracting knowledge graphs from text capture only explicitly stated facts, often leaving semantically related entities disconnected across documents. We present an additive, engine-neutral second pass that discovers these latent ties without altering extracted facts. Each document is chunked and embedded once; top-k nearest- neighbor queries across existing chunks yield candidate node pairs via entity membership maps. Candidate pairs are scored using Shepard inverse-distance weighting with a rescaled chord distance metric, avoiding the threshold-collapsing flaw of affine cosine scoring behind a k-NN gate. Un-gated per-pair accumulators form a commutative monoid, ensuring the pipeline is strictly order-independent and scales incrementally without recomputing prior documents. Implemented across FalkorDB, Kinetica, ArangoDB, and Neo4j, our method shows that 768- and 240-dimensional embeddings retain 92% and 72% edge fidelity against a 3072-D baseline while achieving a 25x faster top-k formulation.
