Workshop on Automated Knowledge Base Construction 2026 - ARR Commitment
The 11th Workshop on Automated Knowledge Base Construction (AKBC) 2026, co-located with EMNLP 2026 in Budapest, brings together researchers to address the integration of structured knowledge into large language models (LLMs). It focuses on overcoming LLM limitations like hallucinations and lack of provenance by advancing knowledge base construction, retrieval-augmented generation, and neuro-symbolic methods for trustworthy AI.
