Select, Don't Train: The Benefits of Modular Entity Disambiguation with LLM-Based Selection
Entity Disambiguation (ED) is a key task for constructing and using knowledge graphs. State-of-the-art neural approaches commonly model ED as a single task, although it consists of two distinct subproblems: retrieving candidate entities and selecting the correct one given context. Dual-encoder models optimize for both within a shared embedding space, forcing representations to balance high-recall retrieval with fine-grained selection, and they require trained retrievers, which are costly to maintain as knowledge graphs change. While recent work has begun to combine retrievers with LLM-based selectors, the interplay between the two stages has not been studied systematically. In this paper,...
