Leveraging the Power of Large Language Models in Entity Linking via Adaptive Routing and Targeted Reasoning

Entity Linking (EL) has traditionally relied on large annotated datasets and extensive model fine-tuning. While recent few-shot methods leverage large language models (LLMs) through prompting to reduce training requirements, they often suffer from inefficiencies due to expensive LLM-based reasoning. ARTER (Adaptive Routing and Targeted Entity Reasoning) presents a structured pipeline that achieves high performance without deep fine-tuning by strategically combining candidate generation, context-based scoring, adaptive routing, and selective reasoning. ARTER computes a small set of complementary signals(both embedding and LLM-based) over the retrieved candidates to categorize contextual mentions into easy and hard cases. The cases are then handled by a low-computational entity linker (e.g. ReFinED) and more expensive targeted LLM-based reasoning respectively. On standard benchmarks, ARTER outperforms ReFinED by up to +4.47%, with an average gain of +2.53% on 5 out of 6 datasets, and performs comparably to pipelines using LLM-based reasoning for all mentions, while being as twice as efficient in terms of the number of LLM tokens.

Decapitated fish fossils depict Late Jurassic food chain
'Aspidorhynchus' was an efficient predator-but sometimes they became the prey. Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. An unusual type of fossilized fish can be found within the limestone of present-day Germany. The Late Jurassic era conditions exhibited at the famed Solnhofen deposits have preserved the remains of multiple marlin-like marine predators known as . But these carnivorous remains aren't complete specimens--they're decapitated heads still attached to gastrointestinal tracts.
