Knowledge Graph Question Answering (KGQA) aims to answer natural language questions by reasoning over structured knowledge graphs (KGs). While large language models (LLMs) have advanced KGQA through their strong reasoning capabilities, existing methods continue to struggle to fully exploit both the rich knowledge encoded in KGs and the reasoning capabilities of LLMs, particularly in complex scenarios. They often assume complete KG coverage and lack mechanisms to judge when external information is needed, and their reasoning remains locally myopic, failing to maintain coherent multi-step planning, leading to reasoning failures even when relevant knowledge exists. We propose Graph-RFT, a novel two-stage reinforcement fine-tuning KGQA framework with a ''plan–KGsearch–and–Websearch–during–think'' paradigm, that enables LLMs to perform autonomous planning and adaptive retrieval scheduling across KG and web sources under incomplete knowledge conditions. Graph-RFT introduces a chain-of-thought (CoT) fine-tuning method with a customized plan–retrieval dataset activates structured reasoning and resolves the GRPO cold-start problem. It then introduces a novel plan–retrieval guided reinforcement learning process integrates explicit planning and retrieval actions with a multi-reward design, enabling coverage-aware retrieval scheduling. It employs a Cartesian-inspired planning module to decompose complex questions into ordered sub-questions, and logical expression to guide tool invocation for globally consistent multi-step reasoning. This reasoning–retrieval process is optimized with a multi-reward combining outcome and retrieval-specific signals, enabling the model to learn when and how to combine KG and web retrieval effectively. Experiments on multiple KGQA benchmarks demonstrate that Graph-RFT achieves superior performance over strong baselines, even with smaller LLM backbones, and substantially improves complex question decomposition, factual coverage, and tool coordination.

Social media platforms are vital for expressing opinions and understanding public sentiment, yet many analytical tools overlook passive users who mainly consume content without engaging actively. To address this, we introduce UniPoll, an advanced framework designed to automatically generate polls from social media posts using sophisticated natural language generation (NLG) techniques. Unlike traditional methods that struggle with social media's informal and context-sensitive nature, UniPoll leverages enriched contexts from user comments and employs multiobjective optimization to enhance poll relevance and engagement. To tackle the inherently noisy nature of social media data, UniPoll incorporates retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) and synthetic data generation, ensuring robust performance across real-world scenarios. The framework surpasses existing models, including T5, ChatGLM3, and GPT-3.5, in generating coherent and contextually appropriate question-answer pairs. Evaluated on the Chinese WeiboPolls dataset and the newly introduced English RedditPolls dataset, UniPoll demonstrates superior cross-lingual and cross-platform capabilities, making it a potent tool to boost user engagement and create a more inclusive environment for interaction.
