用冻结大模型生成可复用的实体标识符,实现跨知识图谱精准对齐
IRIS: Reusable Identity Representations from Frozen LLMs for Entity Alignment

- 从冻结大模型中提取实体专属上下文表征,构建稳定身份签名
- 在4个基准上最高达100.00的Hits@1,超越现有方法
- 无需重训练,一次编码即可跨图谱直接比对,适合多场景应用
实体对齐(EA)旨在识别不同知识图谱中指向同一现实对象的实体。传统方法主要依赖显式图结构和文本字段,常因语义理解不足,难以在异构描述下识别相同实体或区分语义相近实体。尽管大语言模型(LLMs)具备更深层的实体理解能力,现有基于LLM的EA方法大多仅将其用于辅助生成或候选条件决策,未能将这种理解提炼为稳定、可直接比较的身份空间,导致对齐依赖特定图谱对或候选集,且需随匹配上下文重复计算。为此,我们提出IRIS(Identity Representations from Internal States),一种无需训练的框架,通过激发冻结LLM中的身份导向上下文表征,为每个实体构建类似虹膜的唯一标识签名。该签名形成共享空间,实体仅需编码一次,即可通过直接相似性比较实现跨图谱对齐,无需成对表示构建或候选级LLM推理。在四个主流EA基准及两种冻结LLM主干上,最佳IRIS变体在D-Y-15K V2、DBP-WIKI、ICEWS-WIKI和ICEWS-YAGO上的Hits@1分别达到100.00、99.38、98.31和97.99。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Entity alignment (EA) identifies entities across knowledge graphs (KGs) that refer to the same real-world object. Conventional EA methods mainly exploit explicit graph structures and textual fields, which often provide insufficient semantic understanding to recognize the same entity under heterogeneous descriptions and distinguish it from semantically similar entities. Although large language models (LLMs) offer deeper entity understanding, existing LLM-based EA methods largely use this capability for auxiliary generation or candidate-conditioned decisions. Consequently, such understanding is not distilled into a stable and directly comparable identity space, leaving alignment tied to specific KG pairs or candidate sets and requiring repeated processing as the matching context changes. To address these limitations, we propose IRIS (Identity Representations from Internal States), a training-free framework that constructs for each entity an iris-like signature encoding its distinctive and stable identity characteristics. IRIS derives these signatures by eliciting identity-oriented contextual representations from a frozen LLM, thereby forming a shared space in which each entity is encoded once and can be aligned across different KGs through direct similarity comparison, without pair-dependent representation construction or candidate-wise LLM inference. Across four established EA benchmarks and two frozen LLM backbones, the best IRIS variants achieve Hits@1 scores of 100.00, 99.38, 98.31, and 97.99 on D-Y-15K V2, DBP-WIKI, ICEWS-WIKI, and ICEWS-YAGO, respectively.
