We are pleased to announce the Workshop on Knowledge Graphs and Large
Language Models (KG–LLM 2026), to be held in conjunction with LREC
2026 in Palma de Mallorca, Spain, May 16th 2026.
We invite submissions of original research that leverages both
Knowledge Graphs (KGs) and Large Language Models (LLMs) in any domain
of Natural Language Processing or language resource development.
More information at https://kg-llm.github.io/
Workshop Overview:
Large Language Models have become foundational in NLP, yet they
continue to face challenges related to bias, hallucination,
explainability, environmental impact, and the cost of training.
Knowledge Graphs, in contrast, provide high-quality, interpretable,
and reusable ontological and linguistic structures that support
reasoning, fact checking, and knowledge preservation.
The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers working at
the intersection of these two paradigms, exploring how explicit
knowledge and implicit statistical learning can enhance each other. We
welcome contributions that investigate, demonstrate, or evaluate
systems, methods, or resources integrating both KGs and LLMs.
Topics of Interest:
We encourage submissions on (but not limited to):
1. LLMs for Knowledge Graph Engineering
 - KG modelling, resource creation, and interlinking
 - Relation extraction
 - Corpus annotation
 - Ontology localization
 - Creation or expansion of linguistic or knowledge graphs
 - KG querying and question answering
2. Knowledge Graphs for Large Language Models
 - Using linguistic or knowledge graphs as training data
 - Fine-tuning LLMs using linked linguistic (meta)data
 - Knowledge/linguistic graph embeddings
 - KGs for model explainability, provenance, and source attribution
 - Neural models for under-resourced languages
 - KG-augmented RAG (KG-RAG)
3. Joint Use of KGs and LLMs in Applications
 - Combined KG–LLM use cases with structured linguistic data
 - Digital humanities applications
 - Question answering over graph data
 - Fake news and misinformation detection
 - Educational applications and assisted learning
 - Visualizing academic writing with KGs and LLMs
K - G-enhanced chatbots for health and medical contexts
Application Domains:
All application domains are welcome (Digital Humanities, FinTech,
Linguistics, Education, Cybersecurity, etc.) as long as the work uses
both Knowledge Graphs and Large Language Models.
Submission Guidelines:
Submission Format: Papers up to 8 pages excluding references.

Language Resources: In line with LREC policies, authors are encouraged
to describe, document, and share language resources, datasets, models,
evaluation tools, or annotation guidelines used or created in their
work.
Accepted Papers: All accepted papers will be included in the LREC 2026
workshop proceedings.
