An Empirical Study of Recent Large Language Models for Knowledge Graph to Text Generation on Standard Benchmarks

Priyanka, Renaud Delbru, Souhail Bakkali +2

Knowledge graph-to-text (KG-to-text) generation verbalizes a set of knowledge graph triples into fluent natural language. While fine-tuned encoder-decoder models have long been the…

Fresh at Decision, Stale at Action: Routing New Information to LLM Decisions Already Made

Ayoub Merimi, Souhail Bakkali, Abdeljalil Sakat

Freshness shapes an LLM decision at the moment it is made; the action it commits to is latent, carried out later, in a changing world. We therefore introduce a timestamp theory of…
