Frugal Knowledge Graph Construction with Local LLMs: A Zero-Shot Pipeline, Self-Consistency and Wisdom of Artificial Crowds

arXiv:2604.11104v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This paper presents an empirical study of a multi-model zero-shot pipeline for knowledge graph construction and exploitation, executed entirely through local inference on consumer-grade hardware. We propose a reproducible evaluation framework integrating two external benchmarks (DocRED, HotpotQA), WebQuestionsSP-style synthetic data, and the RAGAS evaluation framework in an automated pipeline. On 500 document-level relations, our system achieves an
