About the Workshop
The NLP4KGC workshop series brings together researchers and practitioners working at the intersection of Natural Language Processing and Knowledge Graph Construction.
This is the fifth edition of our successful workshop series. Building on previous successes, we focus on emerging topics including the use of Large Language Models (LLMs) and agentic AI systems for knowledge graph construction, while emphasizing Responsible AI practices.
The interplay between LLMs and knowledge graphs reveals significant improvements in explainability, real-time data analysis, and decision-making efficiency. This workshop explores methodologies for automating KG construction through advanced NLP techniques, including entity recognition, disambiguation, relation extraction, and the integration of RAG and Graph RAG approaches.
