What are the main limitations of large language models that knowledge graphs help address?

LLMs are powerful but flawed. Knowledge graphs provide the missing structure.

Large language models have several undesired behaviors. They hallucinate, generating false information. They need guardrails to prevent answering certain prompts inappropriately. They have gaps in their encoded knowledge and sometimes fail to retrieve information even when it exists, often due to how prompts are formulated. The prompt itself can cause the model to deprioritize relevant information. Knowledge graphs help with all these issues by adding structure and control. They make models more reliable and accurate at every step, from training to retrieval.
