To address the limitations of the existing Large Language Models (LLMs) in processing cross-domain knowledge, updating real-time academic information, and ensuring output quality, ScholatGPT, a scholar LLM based on Academic Social Networks (ASNs), was proposed. In ScholatGPT, the abilities of precise semantic retrieval and dynamic knowledge update were enhanced by integrating Knowledge-Graph Augmented Generation (KGAG) and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), and optimization and fine-tuning were used to improve the generation quality of academic text. Firstly, a scholar knowledge graph was constructed based on relational data from SCHOLAT, with LLMs employed to enrich the graph semantically. Then, a KGAG-based retrieval model was introduced, combined with RAG to realize multi-path hybrid retrieval, thereby enhancing the model’s precision in search. Finally, fine-tuning techniques were applied to optimize the model’s generation quality in academic fields. Experimental results demonstrate that ScholatGPT achieves the precision of 83.2% in academic question answering tasks, outperforming GPT-4o and AMiner AI by 69.4 and 11.5 percentage points, and performs well in all the tasks such as scholar profiling, representative work identification, and research field classification. Furthermore, ScholatGPT obtains stable and competitive results in answer relevance, coherence, and readability, achieving a good balance between specialization and readability. Additionally, ScholatGPT-based intelligent applications such as scholar think tank and academic information recommendation system improve academic resource acquisition efficiency effectively.
