| Challenge: | Recent progress in large language models is driven by scaling of training compute through pre-training with nexttoken prediction (NTP) or post-training (RL) Pre-training using NTP enables models to acquire extensive knowledge and skills from general data, but it suffers from data inefficiency and catastrophic forgetting in continual learning settings. |
| Approach: | They propose to scale training compute through pre-training with next-token prediction (NTP) or post-training by scaling reinforcement learning (RL) to improve learning from general data. |
| Outcome: | Experiments on multiple benchmarks and models show that the proposed approach improves continual pre-training and provides a strong foundation for post-training on Qwen3-8B-Base. |

| Challenge: | MultiConIR is a benchmark designed to evaluate retrieval and reranking models under nuanced multi-condition query scenarios. |
| Approach: | They propose a benchmark to evaluate retrieval and reranking models under nuanced multi-condition query scenarios. |
| Outcome: | The proposed benchmark evaluates retrieval and reranking models under nuanced multi-condition query scenarios across five domains. |
A Novel Global Feature-Oriented Relational Triple Extraction Model based on Table Filling (2021.emnlp-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Table filling based relational triple extraction methods focus on using local features but ignore the global associations of relations and token pairs, which increases the possibility of overlooking some important information during triple extraction. |
| Approach: | They propose a global feature-oriented triple extraction model that makes full use of the two kinds of global associations of relations and token pairs. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model achieves state-of-the-art on three benchmark datasets. |
Knowledge Graph Embedding with Atrous Convolution and Residual Learning (2020.coling-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing knowledge graph embedding methods are complex and require time for training and inference. |
| Approach: | They propose an atrous convolution based knowledge graph embedding method that increases feature interactions by using atrous . they evaluate method on six benchmark datasets with different evaluation metrics . |
| Outcome: | The proposed method achieves better results on six benchmark datasets than state-of-the-art methods on most evaluation metrics. |
A Three-Stage Learning Framework for Low-Resource Knowledge-Grounded Dialogue Generation (2021.emnlp-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing knowledge-grounded dialogues perform poorly when transfer into new domains with limited training samples. |
| Approach: | They propose a weakly supervised three-stage learning framework based on weakly-supervised learning based upon large scale ungrounded dialogues and unstructured knowledge base. |
| Outcome: | The proposed framework outperforms state-of-the-art methods even in zero-resource setting. |
