| Challenge: | Existing supervised sign language recognition systems rely on well-annotated data . instead, an unsupervised speech-to-sign language recognition system learns to translate between spoken and sign languages by observing only non-parallel speech and sign-language corpora. |
| Approach: | They propose an unsupervised speech-to-sign language recognition system that can translate between spoken and sign languages by observing only non-parallel speech and sign-language corpora. |
| Outcome: | The proposed approach outperforms baseline models on sign language corpora by 50% . the proposed approach is available at https://github.com/cactuswiththoughts/UnsupSpeech2Sign.git . |

| Challenge: | Existing studies use legal facts to predict judgments, but legal facts are difficult to obtain in early stages of litigation. |
| Approach: | They propose a legal fact prediction task that takes evidence from trial as input to make predictions in the absence of ground-truth legal facts. |
| Outcome: | The proposed task can predict court rulings without ground-truth legal facts . the first benchmark dataset, LFPBench, is used to evaluate the task . |

| Challenge: | Existing methods for MU forget quality and model utility are not fully explored for safety in MLLMs. |
| Approach: | They propose a safety unlearning benchmark for MLLMs to measure over-forgetting . they propose MU methods to forget quality and model utility . |
| Outcome: | The proposed method reduces over-forgetting by 79.5% while maintaining forget quality and model utility. |
Training LLMs for Optimization Modeling via Iterative Data Synthesis and Structured Validation (2025.findings-emnlp)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Large Language Models (LLMs) are a promising tool for OR, but they face challenges when dealing with complex problems. |
| Approach: | They propose a framework that augments existing datasets and generates high-quality fine-tuning data tailored to OR. |
| Outcome: | The proposed framework augments existing datasets and generates high-quality fine-tuning data . it prevents error propagation and ensures the quality of the generated dataset . |
