| Challenge: | Existing EE datasets define fixed event types and design specific schemas for each of them, failing to cover diverse events emerging from the online text. |
| Approach: | They propose to use a sentence-level dataset to benchmark Open Event Extraction without restricting event types. |
| Outcome: | The proposed dataset contains more than 42,000 news titles in 34 topics collected from Chinese web pages. |

| Challenge: | Prompt injection attacks manipulate large language models (LLMs) by misleading them to deviate from the original input instructions and execute maliciously injected instructions. |
| Approach: | They propose a prompt injection defense method that suppresses the model's instruction-following tendencies rather than suppressing them. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method outperforms prompt-engineering-based approaches and fine-tuning methods and reduces the ASR to nearly 0% in some scenarios. |
Event-enhanced Retrieval in Real-time Search (2024.lrec-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing embedding-based retrieval models face the "semantic drift" problem . a low adoption rate of retrieval results is evident in real-time search scenarios . |
| Approach: | They propose an embedding-based retrieval approach that enhances real-time retrieval performance by adding contrastive learning to the dual-encoder model. |
| Outcome: | The proposed approach improves the dual-encoder model of traditional EBR. |
Event-Centric Query Expansion in Web Search (2023.acl-industry)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing studies rely on long-term search log mining to improve search experience . EQE system is a novel event retrieval framework that can select the best expansion from a significant amount of potential events quickly and accurately. |
| Approach: | They propose a QE system that uses a four-stage event retrieval framework . they collect news headlines and then refine a dual-tower semantic model to serve as an encoder . |
| Outcome: | The proposed system can select the best expansion from a significant amount of potential events quickly and accurately. |
