Graph Fusion across Languages Using Large Language Models

Abstract

Combining multiple knowledge graphs (KGs) across linguistic boundaries is a persistent challenge due to semantic heterogeneity and the complexity of graph environments. We propose a framework for cross-lingual graph fusion, leveraging the in-context reasoning and multilingual semantic priors of Large Language Models (LLMs). The framework implements structural linearization by mapping triplets directly into natural language sequences (e.g., [head] [relation] [tail]), enabling the LLM to map relations and reconcile entities between an evolving fused graph and a new candidate graph. Evaluated on the DBP15K dataset, this exploratory study demonstrates that LLMs can serve as a universal semantic bridge to resolve cross-lingual discrepancies. Results show the successful sequential agglomeration of multiple heterogeneous graphs, offering a scalable, modular solution for continuous knowledge synthesis in multi-source, multilingual environments. Our implementation and experimental framework are publicly available in our repository: https://github.com/IC2-Lab-KMUTT/Multilingual-Graph-Fusion
