The field of natural language processing and knowledge graph research is moving towards tighter integration of knowledge graphs and large language models. Recent studies have shown that incorporating knowledge graphs into large language models can significantly improve their performance on various tasks, including question answering, text generation, and decision-making. The use of knowledge graphs enables the models to capture complex relationships between entities and concepts, leading to more accurate and informative outputs. Furthermore, the development of novel frameworks and architectures, such as multimodal graph assistants and graph-retrieval-augmented generation, has facilitated more efficient and effective integration of knowledge graphs and large language models. Notable papers in this area include STORYTELLER, which introduces a novel plot-planning framework for coherent and cohesive story generation, and MLaGA, which proposes a multimodal large language and graph assistant for reasoning over complex graph structures and multimodal attributes. Additionally, papers like E^2GraphRAG and GraphRAG-Bench have made significant contributions to the development of more efficient and effective graph-based retrieval-augmented generation methods.
