Literary Evidence Retrieval via Long-Context Language Models (2025.acl-short)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | a recent study shows that long-context language models can exceed human expert performance in literary analysis . despite their speed and apparent accuracy, even the strongest models struggle with nuanced literary signals and overgeneration. |
| Approach: | They propose a task where a model is given an entire text of a book and a literary criticism with a missing quotation from that work and asked to generate the missing quote. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model outperforms open-weight models in literary evidence retrieval tasks. |

Evaluating LLMs for Quotation Attribution in Literary Texts: A Case Study of LLaMa3 (2025.naacl-short)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Large Language Models (LLMs) have shown promising results in literary tasks . however, quotation attribution remains a challenging task and methods that generalize across writing styles are lacking analysis regarding book memorization and annotation contamination. |
| Approach: | They evaluate the ability of Llama-3 to attribute utterances of direct-speech to their speaker in novels by assessing the impact of book memorization and annotation contamination. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model outperforms existing models on a corpus of 28 novels and shows that book memorization and annotation contamination do not explain the performance gain. |
