CityEQA: A Hierarchical LLM Agent on Embodied Question Answering Benchmark in City Space (2025.emnlp-main)

Copied to clipboard

Challenge: Embodied Question Answering (EQA) tasks are primarily focused on indoor environments, leaving the complexities of urban settings unexplored.
Approach: They propose a task where an embodied agent answers open-vocabulary questions in dynamic city spaces.
Outcome: The proposed agent achieves 60.7% of human-level answering accuracy compared to baselines . the proposed agent outperforms existing agents in open-ended city spaces .
Enhancing Speech Large Language Models with Prompt-Aware Mixture of Audio Encoders (2025.emnlp-main)

Copied to clipboard

Challenge: Existing work on integrating audio encoders with large language models (LLMs) has focused on semantic understanding tasks, but different tasks may require distinct features that emphasize either semantic or acoustic aspects.
Approach: They propose to use a prompt-aware mixture to enhance the Speech LLM that uses multiple audio encoders to extract different features based on the prompt.
Outcome: The proposed approach outperforms all single-encoder Speech LLMs on ASR, speaker number verification, and AC tasks.
PychoAgent: Psychology-driven LLM Agents for Explainable Panic Prediction on Social Media during Sudden Disaster Events (2025.emnlp-main)

Copied to clipboard

Challenge: Social media's rich information content and spatiotemporal granularity provide unique opportunities for emotion prediction and management.
Approach: They propose a Psychology-driven generative Agent framework for explainable panic prediction based on emotion arousal theory.
Outcome: The proposed framework improves panic emotion prediction performance by 13% to 21% compared to baseline models.
