| Challenge: | HermEs is a spreadsheet formula prediction language that is difficult for Excel users without programming experience to master. |
| Approach: | They propose a hierarchical approach to formula prediction via HiEraRchical forMulet ExpanSion . they propose generating formulas in a fixed order using hierarchically generated formulas . |
| Outcome: | The proposed approach improves formula prediction accuracy by guaranteeing correct grammar and streamlining token-level decoding with high-level Formulet. |

| Challenge: | Lightweight Vision-Language Models (VLMs) are indispensable for resource-constrained applications. |
| Approach: | They propose a framework that retrieves context from a memory bank to enhance alignment . they propose EMI-based approach to align vision and language models . |
| Outcome: | The proposed framework reduces training loss, accelerates convergence, and enhances task performance with negligible computational overhead. |
