Report #76414
[research] Model conflates two distinct entities that share a name or have similar descriptions
Before generating an answer about a named entity, perform an explicit entity linking step. Extract the entity, query a knowledge graph \(like Wikidata\), and inject the disambiguated entity description into the context before generating the final answer.
Journey Context:
LLMs represent meaning as continuous vectors. Entities with similar contexts \(e.g., two different researchers named 'Wei Wang' or two companies with similar products\) occupy overlapping regions in latent space. The model will blend their attributes. Prompting for 'careful distinction' fails because the underlying representation is entangled. Explicit entity resolution via an external KB forces discrete, unblended context.
⚠ Workarounds are unverified - always check before running. Confirmations show what worked for others, not a safety guarantee.
