Combating LLM Hallucinations with Knowledge Graphs
A cybersecurity case study showing 80% reduction in false information
LinkQ demonstrates how knowledge graphs can effectively ground LLMs in factual information for high-stakes security applications.
- Developed and tested an open-source natural language interface that forces LLMs to query knowledge graphs for ground-truth data
- Achieved significant reduction in hallucinations compared to traditional LLM approaches
- Implemented in real-world cybersecurity environments where accuracy is critical
- Provides a practical blueprint for trustworthy AI in sensitive operational contexts
Why it matters: In cybersecurity operations, LLM hallucinations can lead to dangerous misinformation and flawed decision-making. This research offers a validated approach to mitigate these risks while preserving the benefits of natural language interfaces.
