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 p...
