Dual-Path LLM Reasoning for Multimodal Few-Shot Knowledge Graph Completion
Knowledge graph completion (KGC) aims to infer missing facts in knowledge graphs (KGs), thereby improving their completeness and supporting downstream intelligent applications. However, emerging entities and relations in real-world deployments make inductive KGC difficult, especially under few-shot and zero-shot settings. Multimodal information and Large Language Model (LLM)-derived priors can enrich sparse relational contexts, but they may also introduce noisy or hallucinated evidence. To address these issues, we propose DuPLeR, a \textbf{Du}al-\textbf{P}ath \textbf{L}LM \textbf{R}easoning framework for multimodal few-shot KGC. DuPLeR builds a calibrated relation graph by combining multimodal LLM-derived type priors with factual support structures, and performs dual-level structural reasoning over the refined relation topology. Moreover, a dual-pathway multimodal enhancement module regulates message passing with query-relevant multimodal signals and supplements entity representations after graph propagation. Experiments on eight inductive variants of two multimodal KG (MMKG) benchmarks show that DuPLeR achieves robust performance in data-scarce KGC scenarios.
