Temporal Evidence-Parameter Co-Alignment for LLM Reasoning over Temporal Knowledge Graphs

To address these limitations, we propose Temporal Evidence-Parameter Co-Alignment (TEPCA), a framework for LLM reasoning over TKGs.

Key points

  • Large Language Models (LLMs) often struggle with temporally grounded reasoning because their static parametric memory is misaligned with the dynamic evolution of real-world knowledge.
  • TEPCA aligns LLM reasoning with temporal knowledge at both the evidence and parameter levels.
  • At the evidence level, it introduces time-constrained Dynamic Relevance-Guided Path (DRGP) pruning to preserve globally coherent temporal paths, together with Mutual-Information (MI)-based pruning to retain query-informative local facts under temporal constraints.
  • This design enables LLMs to better capture fine-grained entity evolution and time-dependent relation semantics while preserving parameter efficiency.
