Recently, there has been a surge of interest in the NLP community on the use of pretrained Language Models (LMs) as Knowledge Bases (KBs). Researchers have shown that LMs trained on a sufficiently large (web) corpus will encode a significant amount of knowledge implicitly in its parameters. The resulting LM can be probed for different kinds of knowledge and thus acting as a KB. This has a major advantage over traditional KBs in that this method requires no human supervision. In this paper, we present a set of aspects that we deem a LM should have to fully act as a KB, and review the recent literature with respect to those aspects.

  1. Epistemic Familiarity is Associated With Belief Stability in Large Language Models

    cs.CL 2025-11 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Language models retract previously true answers far more often after seeing unfamiliar synthetic statements than after seeing familiar fictional statements, in both internal probes and prompted behavior.

  2. Multi-Ontology Integration with Dual-Axis Propagation for Medical Concept Representation

    cs.AI 2025-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    LINKO integrates multiple medical ontologies with dual-axis graph propagation and LLM-based initialization, improving diagnosis prediction on MIMIC-III and MIMIC-IV.
