The field of natural language processing is moving towards improving the ability of large language models to effectively incorporate external knowledge into conversational responses. Researchers are exploring new techniques to enhance entity recognition, knowledge integration, and dialogue understanding. A key direction is the development of frameworks that can leverage external knowledge graphs and adapt to domain-specific requirements. Another important area of research is the evaluation of language models' ability to construct and maintain a robust internal world model that captures the dynamics of conversations. Noteworthy papers include:
- MME-RAG, which introduces a Multi-Manager-Expert Retrieval-Augmented Generation framework for fine-grained entity recognition, and
- DeepEL, which proposes a comprehensive framework that incorporates large language models into every stage of the entity linking task, achieving state-of-the-art performance on benchmark datasets.
