Towards Table-to-Text Generation with Pretrained Language Model: A Table Structure Understanding and Text Deliberating Approach (2022.emnlp-main)

Copied to clipboard

Challenge: Currently, the generalization issues hinder the applicability of neural table-to-text models due to the limited source tables.
Approach: They propose a table-structureaware text generation model with pretrained language model and propose TASD to bridge the gap between the structured table and text input.
Outcome: The proposed model bridges the gap between the structured table and text input and generates accurate and fluent descriptive texts on two public datasets.
CARD: Cross-modal Agent Framework for Generative and Editable Residential Design (2025.emnlp-main)

Copied to clipboard

Challenge: Architectural design automation has made significant progress, but the complexity of open-world environments makes residential design a challenging task.
Approach: They propose a framework that leverages a system of specialized cross-modal agents to adapt to open-world residential design.
Outcome: The proposed framework enables users to generate and edit residential design without requiring specialized expertise.
FloorPlan-LLaMa: Aligning Architects’ Feedback and Domain Knowledge in Architectural Floor Plan Generation (2025.acl-long)

Copied to clipboard

Challenge: Existing evaluation methods for floor plan generation rely on statistical metrics like FID, GED, and PSNR, which fail to evaluate using domain knowledge.
Approach: They propose to use a first floor plan dataset to train a floor plan generation model based on a multi-dimensional preference score and a textual analysis to integrate architects’ professional expertise and preferences.
Outcome: The proposed model outperforms baseline models in text-conditional and class-condition tasks and is more rational and aligns better with human preferences.
NeuSym-RAG: Hybrid Neural Symbolic Retrieval with Multiview Structuring for PDF Question Answering (2025.acl-long)

Copied to clipboard

Challenge: Existing approaches to retrieval augmented generation neglect PDF structure and layout . individual PDFs often exceed prompt limits and user queries may span multiple documents.
Approach: They propose a hybrid neural symbolic retrieval framework which combines both paradigms in an interactive process.
Outcome: The proposed framework organizes semi-structured PDF content into relational database and vectorstore . it defeats both RAG and structured baselines on three PDF-based QA datasets .
YuLan-Mini: Pushing the Limits of Open Data-efficient Language Model (2025.acl-long)

Copied to clipboard

Challenge: prevailing pre-training approaches for large language models involve several complexities.
Approach: They propose a low-cost training recipe and a robust optimization approach to mitigate training instability . they also propose synthesis, curriculum, and data selection pipelines to integrate data .
Outcome: The proposed model achieves top-tier performance among models with similar parameter scale . it is comparable to industry-leading models that require significantly more data .
SAM3-I: Segment Anything with Instructions (2026.acl-long)

Copied to clipboard

Challenge: Existing methods for concept-level grounding and instruction-level reasoning use coarse representations and iterative mask filtering.
Approach: They propose an instruction-following extension of the Segment Anything Model 3 family that unifies concept-level grounding and instruction-level reasoning within a single segmentation framework.
Outcome: Experiments show that SAM3-I achieves appealing performance across referring and reasoning-based segmentation while maintaining its strong concept recall ability.
Beyond the Context Window: Scaling Agentic RL via End-to-end Optimized Context Compression (2026.acl-long)

Copied to clipboard

Challenge: Existing reinforcement learning pipelines suffer from degraded instruction following, excessive rollout costs, and strict context limits.
Approach: They propose a reinforcement learning (RL) fine-tuning of large language model (LLM) agents for long-horizon multi-turn tool use where context length quickly becomes a bottleneck.
Outcome: The proposed framework improves the success rate while maintaining the same or even lower working context length compared to baselines.
