APOLO system optimizes LLM prompts for ontology learning

Researchers have developed APOLO, a novel system for automatic prompt optimization in ontology learning using large language models. APOLO addresses the challenge of limited annotated data by employing a multi-agent system to generate text-ontology pairs from existing expert-curated ontologies. The system proposes two learner architectures, a greedy and an autoregressive learner, which are then optimized using GEPA, a greedy evolutionary prompt optimizer built on DSPy. Experiments on biomedical and plant ontologies demonstrated that prompt optimization significantly improves performance across various model and mode combinations, with the autoregressive formulation showing greater effectiveness in capturing ontological structure compared to the greedy approach. AI

IMPACT This research offers a lightweight alternative to fine-tuning for ontology learning, potentially improving the efficiency and effectiveness of knowledge extraction from text.
