Large language models represent a promising alternative for automating structured knowledge bases construction, but their reliance on parametric knowledge makes them susceptible to hallucinations and incomplete information. The Automated Knowledge Base Construction competition investigates the use of large language models to construct structured knowledge bases from their parametric knowledge alone, without fine-tuning or external retrieval. Given a subject–relation pair, participants must predict the complete set of correct objects across several relation types. Our approach proposes an ensemble of four prompting strategies: question-style, masked-style, few-shot chain-of-thought, and least-to-most prompting. It aggregates their predictions using relation-aware majority voting. The resulting system achieves a Macro-F1 of 0.6651 on the test set, substantially outperforming the provided baseline of 0.294.
