• Abstract: Recent advances in Large Language Models (LLMs) have demonstrated strong capabilities in generating semantically relevant concepts and relations, making them promising tools for taxonomy enrichment. However, directly relying on LLM-generated expansions often leads to noisy, redundant, or hierarchically inconsistent structures, limiting their reliability for automated taxonomy expansion. In this paper, we present ReLTEx, a framework for reliable LLM-based taxonomy expansion. ReLTEx combines LLM-driven candidate generation with structure-aware validation and recursive expansion control to improve the consistency and quality of generated taxonomies by reducing hallucinations. We evaluate the proposed framework using benchmark taxonomies under a masked taxonomy expansion setting and compare multiple validation strategies. Experimental results, supported by both adapted evaluation metrics and human evaluation, demonstrate that ReLTEx produces more reliable and semantically coherent taxonomy expansions.
