GPTKB 2.0: Direct Construction of Disambiguated Knowledge Bases from Large Language Models

Abstract

Automated Knowledge Base Construction (AKBC) is a core NLP task, and recent work proposes generating knowledge bases directly from large language models (LLMs), treating the model itself as the knowledge source. However, LLMs natively possess no representation of entities, leading to duplicate entries as well as conflations. We propose GPTKB 2.0, a methodology for constructing disambiguated KBs directly from LLMs. GPTKB 2.0 incorporates on-the-fly disambiguation of entities, relations and classes, and is meticulously designed to satisfy both scalability and disambiguation accuracy. We analyze the central design decisions and characterize the trade-offs between accuracy, scale, and cost. We execute GPTKB 2.0 at scale, obtaining a materialized KB containing over 1M disambiguated entities and 38.4M triples. This represents the first million-scale LLM-native KB with explicit internal canonicalization of entities, relations, and classes, a significant departure from prior Wikimedia-centric works. GPTKB 2.0 is available at https://gptkb.org/.

GPTKB 2.0: Browsing, Querying, and Auditing a Disambiguated LLM-Derived Knowledge Base

We present a web demo for exploring a large-scale disambiguated knowledge base (KB) materialized from a large language model (LLM). GPTKB 2.0 contains 38.4M triples over 1.6M canonical entities, together with 207.6K consolidated relations and 66K consolidated classes. Unlike prior LLM-derived knowledge bases that largely identify entities by surface strings, GPTKB 2.0 performs context-guided disambiguation during recursive KB construction, separating homonyms and merging synonymous mentions as facts are elicited. The demo makes this process inspectable: users can browse entities, follow links across the KB, and audit the provenance of individual facts, including surface forms, candidate matches, source triples, and disambiguation decisions. The interface further supports structured SPARQL queries, natural-language questions translated to SPARQL, and entity linking from user-provided text to canonical GPTKB 2.0 entries. GPTKB 2.0 is available at https://gptkb.org/, with the full KB downloadable for offline use.

REAP: Relation-Aware Elicitation and Parsing for Closed-Book Knowledge Base Construction from LLMs

We present the REAP system for the AKBC Shared Task 2026 on constructing knowledge bases from language models in a closed-book setting, subject to a budget of at most 32B parameters and no model fine-tuning. Our system combines structured chain-of-thought reasoning, relation-specific query strategies, and a reasoning-based empty-set gate to elicit parametric knowledge, followed by direct extraction into valid JSON arrays. On the test set, the system, built on the Mistral-Small-24B-Instruct-2501 model, achieves a macro-F1 score of 0.62, with particularly strong results on countryLandBordersCountry (F1 = 0.95), companyTradesAtStockExchange (F1 = 0.73), and hasArea (F1 = 0.77). Our code is publicly available at https://github.com/yammdd/AKBC-Shared-Task-2026.
