Abstract
A computing system for interactive prompting for a supply chain includes processing circuitry that constructs a knowledge graph based ontologies from a plurality of data sources, the ontologies being related to a product. In a turn-based dialog session, the processing circuitry receives a prompt for the product, identifies at least one ontology-level node in a first layer of the knowledge graph, and generates one or more sub-questions. The processing circuitry outputs the sub-questions via a large language model, receives responses to the sub-questions, identifies one or more second-level nodes in a second, middle layer of the knowledge graph based on the responses, and performs a multi-hop query to identify one or more instance-level nodes in the third layer of the knowledge graph. The processing circuitry outputs, via the large language model, text data corresponding to the instance-level nodes as an answer to the prompt.
