SIRE: Separate Intra- and Inter-sentential Reasoning for Document-level Relation Extraction (2021.findings-acl)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Document-level relation extraction (doc-level RE) is a classification problem that predicts relations for all entity pairs in a document. |
| Approach: | They propose a document-level relation extraction architecture to represent intra- and inter-sentential relations in different ways. |
| Outcome: | The proposed architecture outperforms the state-of-the-art methods on the public datasets. |
Counterfactual Supporting Facts Extraction for Explainable Medical Record Based Diagnosis with Graph Network (2021.naacl-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing methods provide explanations based on a precise medical knowledge base, which is disease-specific and difficult to obtain for experts in reality. |
| Approach: | They propose a method to extract supporting facts from irregular EMR without external knowledge bases by constructing a hierarchical graph network and using it to obtain causal relationship between multi-granularity features and diagnosis results. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method diagnoses four types of EMR correctly and provides accurate supporting facts for the results. |

| Challenge: | Incomplete learning is widespread and heterogeneous in large language models . authors identify five recurrent sources of incomplete learning: missing prerequisite knowledge, conflicts between SFT supervision and pre-training knowledge, internal inconsistencies within SFT data, left-side forgetting during sequential fine-tuning, and insufficient optimization for rare or complex patterns. |
| Approach: | They propose a diagnostic-first framework that maps incomplete learning to causes . they identify five recurrent sources of incomplete learning: missing prerequisite knowledge, conflicts between supervision and pre-training knowledge, internal inconsistencies, left-side forgetting during sequential fine-tuning, and insufficient optimization for rare or complex patterns. |
| Outcome: | The proposed framework maps incomplete learning to causes using observable training and inference signals. |

| Challenge: | Large language models (LLMs) inherit contamination from training corpora, directional bias under social-desirability framing, and limited responsiveness to context beyond the item text. |
| Approach: | They propose a paradigm that reformulates TAT, Rorschach, and SCT with newly generated stimuli and organises assessment as a three-stage pipeline. |
| Outcome: | The proposed paradigm reformulates TAT, Rorschach, and SCT with newly generated stimuli and organises assessment as a three-stage pipeline. |
