| Challenge: | Existing in-context learning assumes the retrieval dataset contains demonstrations for all output label spaces. |
| Approach: | They propose a framework with train-free and train-based variants to address IICL . they propose to integrate a dataset with labeled demonstrations for each output space . |
| Outcome: | The proposed framework outperforms existing methods under incomplete retrieval datasets and even outperformed ICL with complete labels. |
Joint Knowledge Base Completion and Question Answering by Combining Large Language Models and Small Language Models (2026.acl-long)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing studies rely on the small language model (SLM) to enhance them jointly, and the large language model’s strong reasoning ability is ignored. |
| Approach: | They propose a framework which can make knowledge base completion and knowledge base question answering enhance each other in an iterative manner by combining the strengths of the small language model and the large language model. |
| Outcome: | The proposed framework surpasses baselines for both KBC and KBQA tasks over two public benchmark data sets. |
ETRQA: A Comprehensive Benchmark for Evaluating Event Temporal Reasoning Abilities of Large Language Models (2025.findings-acl)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Event temporal reasoning (ETR) is a significant indicator that a large language model understands the physical world. |
| Approach: | They propose a unified taxonomy for event temporal questions and construct a benchmark based on this taxonomies. |
| Outcome: | The proposed taxonomy inherits and expands existing datasets and contains multiple categories of compound questions. |
