An Empirical Study of Recent Large Language Models for Knowledge Graph to Text Generation on Standard Benchmarks

The paper evaluates recent large language models (LLMs) for knowledge graph-to-text generation against traditional fine‑tuned encoder‑decoder models. Using both reference‑based metrics and graph‑grounded, reference‑free LLM‑based evaluation, the authors find that LLMs close the performance gap on reference metrics and outperform fine‑tuned models on graph‑grounded metrics. The study also shows that LLM‑based evaluation scores correlate poorly with reference metrics, indicating they assess different aspects of quality, and that prompted LLMs produce fewer contradictions and omissions, especially as graph size increases.

An Empirical Study of Recent Large Language Models for Knowledge Graph to Text Generation on Standard Benchmarks

The paper evaluates recent large language models (LLMs) for knowledge graph‑to‑text generation against traditional fine‑tuned encoder‑decoder models. Using both reference‑based metrics and graph‑grounded, reference‑free LLM‑based evaluation, the study finds that LLMs largely close the performance gap on reference metrics and outperform fine‑tuned models on graph‑grounded metrics. The results also show that LLM‑based evaluation correlates weakly with reference metrics, indicating that each captures distinct aspects of generation quality, and that prompted LLMs produce fewer contradictions and omissions, especially as graph size grows.

Large Language Models for Machine Translation Quality Annotation: Humans and Models Are Both Challenged

Large Language Models (LLMs) are being tested as a cost‑effective alternative to human judgment for evaluating machine translation (MT). This study compares LLM agreement with human annotators on two MT quality schemes—Multidimensional Quality Metrics (MQM) and Error Span Annotation (ESA)—across 70 language pairs and public WMT23/25 data. Results show that while LLMs sometimes match or exceed human agreement, performance varies widely by scheme, language, and domain, and remains unreliable in many settings. The work also identifies specific challenges for both humans (e.g., fine‑grained MQM, low‑resource languages) and LLMs (e.g., minor errors, wrong language variants, span annotation).

Knowledge-Graph Based Augmentation versus Retrieval Augmented Generation for Cultural-Related Question Answering

The paper compares Knowledge-Graph Based Augmentation (Graph-RAG) with Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) for answering culturally specific questions. Using the LatamQA dataset, Graph-RAG, built automatically from Wikipedia via KGGen, matches RAG performance and reduces the base LLM’s error by 72% with a standard KG and 78% with a benchmark-aware variant. The approach also transfers zero‑shot to Portuguese, showing multilingual applicability.

KGCQual: An Interpretable Framework for Evaluating the Knowledge Graph Construction Quality from Text

arXiv:2607. 10212v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Knowledge Graphs (KGs) are increasingly constructed through automated extraction pipelines; however, such systems often introduce spurious or incomplete triples, which degrade downstream performance.

KGCQual: An Interpretable Framework for Evaluating the Knowledge Graph Construction Quality from Text

Knowledge Graphs (KGs) are increasingly constructed through automated extraction pipelines; however, such systems often introduce spurious or incomplete triples, which degrade downstream performance. Existing evaluation practices rely heavily on task-specific metrics or small-scale manual verification, offering limited insight into the structural and semantic fidelity of extracted graphs.

Are Large Language Models Effective Knowledge Graph Constructors?

The paper investigates whether large language models (LLMs) can construct knowledge graphs (KGs) from documents in a zero‑shot, schema‑free manner. It introduces the Detail‑to‑Abstract Hierarchical Knowledge Graph (D2A‑HKG) framework, which splits KG construction into extraction, splitting, and abstraction stages, and evaluates the resulting graphs semantically and structurally. Using seven leading LLMs, the authors benchmark zero‑shot KG construction on CMW‑Lit—a dataset of pediatric mental‑wellness research—and find that state‑of‑the‑art LLMs generally produce relevant, document‑faithful triples with limited hallucination, though their extraction behaviors vary across stages. The study releases CMW‑Lit and the generated graphs as resources for future research and downstream knowledge‑intensive applications.
