Abstract
In recent years, the advent of large language models (LLMs) like GPT and Llama has significantly influenced numerous domains, particularly in advancing natural language processing (NLP) capabilities. LLMs have shown remarkable performance in NLP tasks such as relation extraction (RE) and knowledge graph completion (KGC), enhancing activities related to knowledge graphs. As a result, there is a growing interest in integrating LLMs into cross-lingual entity alignment (EA) task, which aims to identify equivalent entities across various knowledge graphs, thereby improving the performance of current baselines. However, employing LLMs for entity alignment poses challenges in efficiently handling large-scale data, generating suitable data samples, and adapting prompts for the EA task. To tackle these challenges, we propose Seg-Align, an innovative framework that integrating distance feature extraction, sample **Seg**mentation, and zero-shot prompts. Through extensive experiments on two widely used cross-lingual benchmark datasets, we have not only demonstrated the effectiveness of our proposed sample segmentation algorithm but also highlighted the state-of-the-art performance of Seg-Align.
