pEBR: A Probabilistic Approach to Embedding Based Retrieval (2025.emnlp-industry)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing embedding-based retrieval systems rely on heuristic and suboptimal cutoffs for item retrieval. |
| Approach: | They propose a probabilistic Embedding-Based Retrieval framework that learns a shared semantic representation space for both queries and items. |
| Outcome: | The proposed framework improves retrieval precision and recall, and ablation studies show it captures the differences between head-to-tail queries. |

| Challenge: | Existing Multimodal Large Language Models struggle with dynamic interactions due to the scarcity of high-quality interleaved data. |
| Approach: | They propose a large-scale interleaved live interaction Chinese dataset with human-annotated video responses. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model can be used to evaluate live interactions in Chinese over 1,100 hours and 80,037 dialogue turns. |

Qingjie Zhang, Di Wang, Haoting Qian, Yiming Li, Tianwei Zhang, Minlie Huang, Ke Xu, Hewu Li, Liu Yan, Han Qiu
| Challenge: | Recent studies show that LLMs’ intrinsic self-correction fails without oracle labels as feedback. |
| Approach: | They propose to use one simple task and three complex tasks with state-of-the-art LLMs like ChatGPT, Llama, and DeepSeek to interpret LLM's intrinsic self-correction. |
| Outcome: | The proposed methods reveal the dark side of LLMs’ intrinsic self-correction for different tasks, especially for those failure cases. |
Revisiting the Knowledge Injection Frameworks (2023.emnlp-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Injecting unaligned knowledge tuple into large language models achieves comparable (and sometimes better) results than aligned knowledge. |
| Approach: | They propose a technique to inject random knowledge into large language models to improve performance. |
| Outcome: | The proposed technique overcomes the sanity problem and pushes the performance limit. |

| Challenge: | Existing benchmarks focus on linguistic competence or structured mathematical problem-solving, neglecting fundamental numerical reasoning required in real-world scenarios. |
| Approach: | They propose a benchmark to evaluate numerical capabilities for large language models . they use a dataset to assess number recognition, arithmetic operations, contextual retrieval, comparison, summary, and multi-step reasoning. |
| Outcome: | The proposed benchmark evaluates six fundamental numerical capabilities: number recognition, arithmetic operations, contextual retrieval, comparison, summary, and multi-step reasoning. |
