Knowledge Base Question Answering (KBQA) is a fundamental task that enables natural language interaction with structured knowledge bases (KBs).Given a natural language question, KBQA aims to retrieve the answers from the KB. However, existing approaches, including retrieval-based, semantic parsing-based methods and large-language model-based methods often suffer from generating non-executable queries and inefficiencies in query execution. To address these challenges, we propose GRV-KBQA, a three-stage framework that decouples logical structure generation from semantic grounding and incorporates structure-aware validation to enhance accuracy. Unlike previous methods, GRV-KBQA explicitly enforces KB constraints to improve alignment between generated logical forms and KB structures. Experimental results on WebQSP and CWQ show that GRV-KBQA significantly improves performance over existing approaches. The ablation study conducted confirms the effectiveness of the decoupled logical form generation and validation mechanism of our framework.
