Soft Knowledge Prompt: Help External Knowledge Become a Better Teacher to Instruct LLM in Knowledge-based VQA (2024.acl-long)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Recent research focuses on improving prediction performance and reliability of LLM. |
| Approach: | They propose a method to actively extract valuable information from the knowledge to produce a latent vector as a soft prompt, which is fused with the image embedding to form a knowledge-enhanced context to instruct LLM. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method improves performance on knowledge-based VQA benchmarks. |

| Challenge: | Existing evaluation benchmarks for Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) focus on single-turn question answering, overlooking the complexity of multi-turn dialogues in real-world scenarios. |
| Approach: | They propose a video understanding benchmark for MLLMs in multi-turn dialogues that assesses six core competencies that focus on perceptivity and interactivity. |
| Outcome: | The MT-Video-Bench evaluates 1,000 multi-turn dialogues from diverse domains and reveals significant performance discrepancies and limitations in handling multi-turned video dialogues. |

| Challenge: | Existing models that use Large Language Models (LLMs) show superior performance in various tasks, but lack of controllability leads to unfocused conversations or task failure. |
| Approach: | They propose a standard operating procedure (SOP) framework to regulate dialogue flow by integrating Chain of Thought reasoning and supervised fine-tuning for SOP prediction. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method achieves a 27.95% improvement in action accuracy compared to baseline models based on GPT-3.5 and also shows notable gains for open-source models. |
Automatic Marketing Theme and Commodity Construction System for E-commerce (2023.emnlp-industry)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing recommendation system invites experts to write marketing themes and select relevant commodities, which suffer from difficulty in mass production, poor timeliness and low online indicators. |
| Approach: | They propose to use pretrained language model to generate marketing themes and commodity consistency module to select relevant commodities for the generative theme. |
| Outcome: | The proposed system can generate popular marketing themes and select relevant commodities automatically and improve theme online effectiveness compared with state-of-the-art methods. |

| Challenge: | a recent study shows that agent research practices are far from standard, rigorous . lack of a standard evaluation protocol makes previous works not reproducible, authors say . |
| Approach: | They conduct an empirical study on the GAIA benchmark to investigate agent design choices . they find that lack of a standard evaluation protocol makes previous works not reproducible . |
| Outcome: | The proposed framework achieves state-of-the-art performance among open-source projects. |
