"Newspaper Eat" Means "Not Tasty": A Taxonomy and Benchmark for Coded Language in Real-World Chinese Online Reviews (2026.acl-long)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Current language models handle coded language poorly, with limited real-world datasets and clear taxonomies. |
| Approach: | They propose a taxonomy that captures common encoding strategies including phonetic, orthographic, and cross-lingual substitutions. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model fails to detect or understand coded language in Chinese reviews . negative reviews can expose users to social pressure, retaliation, or reduced visibility . |

| Challenge: | Large Language Models (LLMs) have demonstrated potential in code generation and natural language understanding, but they struggle with code constraints. |
| Approach: | They propose to use Large Language Models to handle constraints represented in code . they use JSON, YAML, XML, Python, and natural language to test their effectiveness . |
| Outcome: | The proposed benchmark shows that LLMs can handle code constraints better than natural language . the results suggest that conscious choice of representations can lead to optimal use of LLM in enterprise use cases involving code constraints. |
