HELEA: Hard-Negative Benchmark and LLM-based Reranking for Robust Entity Alignment 文章

arXiv:2605.28308v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Entity Alignment (EA) is essential for knowledge graph (KG) fusion, but existing benchmarks often allow models to exploit name overlap rather than relational structure. This makes it difficult to evaluate whether models can reject same-name entities that refer to different real-world objects. Our primary contribution is a same-name hard-negative augmentation strategy that simultaneously yields quality-controlled evaluation benchmarks (DW-HN29K, DY-HN27K) and augmented training corpora (DW-Train, DY-Train), by mining same-name but distinct entity pairs from KG name-collision groups. We further introduce HELEA, a two-stage framework integrating (i) entity encoder retrieval trained on hard-negative-augmented training corpora with 1-hop KG context, and (ii) LLM-based reranking without additional training.
