Xu et al. (EMNLP 2024) was the first dedicated systematic survey of knowledge conflicts in LLMs as of mid-2024; prior surveys addressed it only as a subtopic.
Summary
As of mid-2024, the Xu et al. EMNLP paper stands as the first study to treat knowledge conflicts in large language models as its central, organizing topic rather than a passing subtopic. This gives it a foundational status in the literature, meaning any work building on that field should treat it as the starting reference point for what is known and what gaps remain.
