Abstract: With the development of artificial intelligence,the capabilities of large language models(LLMs) and knowledge graphs(KGs) in the field of natural language processing gained a lot of attention.Endowed with robust natural language understanding and generation capacities,LLMs have exhibited prominent emergent abilities in tasks including open-domain question answering and text generation.Nevertheless,LLMs are confronted with challenges such as inadequate interpretability and the existence of hallucinations in knowledge representation.Similarly,knowledge graphs provide interpretable symbolic support for complex reasoning and decision-making through structured knowledge representation,yet suffer from high construction costs and incomplete content.Therefore,the mutual enhancement technology of large language models and knowledge graphs has become a key research direction.This paper systematically reviews the relevant knowledge of large language models and knowledge graphs and introduces the mutual enhancement technologies between large language models and knowledge graphs,including knowledge graph-enhanced large models,large language model-enhanced knowledge graphs,and the mutual enhancement and collaboration between large language models and knowledge graphs.Additionally,it elaborates on the application of this synergistic framework.Finally,it summarizes the challenges and prospects of the mutually reinforced large language model-knowledge graph system,providing references for subsequent studies of this technology.

Key words: Large language model, Knowledge graph, Mutual enhancement and synergy, Natural language processing, Explicable
