Equipping Retrieval-Augmented Large Language Models with Document Structure Awareness (2025.findings-emnlp)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing approaches to retrieval-augmented generation ignore valuable structure that is crucial for document organization. |
| Approach: | They propose a framework that explicitly incorporates structural information throughout the RAG process. |
| Outcome: | The proposed framework incorporates structural information throughout the RAG process. |
ChartAssistant: A Universal Chart Multimodal Language Model via Chart-to-Table Pre-training and Multitask Instruction Tuning (2024.findings-acl)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Charts are an effective tool for understanding data patterns, but their combination of graphical elements and textual components poses challenges for general-purpose multimodal models. |
| Approach: | They propose a chart-based vision-language model for universal chart comprehension and reasoning that leverages a dataset of chart-related tasks. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model outperforms the state-of-the-art charts with zero-shot setting on various chart tasks. |
