| Challenge: | Existing tools to generate structured content for research tasks are limited in their ability to generate high-quality roadmaps. |
| Approach: | They propose a benchmark to evaluate the ability of large language models (LLMs) to generate high-quality roadmaps for solving complex research problems. |
| Outcome: | The proposed system can improve LLMs’ ability for roadmap generation while saving 84% of the time required by human experts. |

Haoran Luo, Haihong E, Zichen Tang, Shiyao Peng, Yikai Guo, Wentai Zhang, Chenghao Ma, Guanting Dong, Meina Song, Wei Lin, Yifan Zhu, Anh Tuan Luu
| Challenge: | Existing KBQA methods address inefficient knowledge retrieval and semantic parsing errors. |
| Approach: | They propose a generatethen-retrieve KBQA framework that generates logical form and replaces entities and relations with an unsupervised retrieval method to improve both generation and retrieval more directly. |
| Outcome: | Experimental results show that ChatKBQA achieves new state-of-the-art performance on standard KBQA datasets, WebQSP, and CWQ. |

| Challenge: | Existing research on HKGs rarely models the graphical and sequential structure of HKG, limiting their representation. |
| Approach: | They propose a Hierarchical Attention model for HKG Embedding that includes global-level and local-level attention to model the graphical structure of HKGs. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model achieves state-of-the-art performance on HKG standard datasets and addresses the issue of HKG multi-position prediction for the first time. |

| Challenge: | Xu and Peng, 2025) . . SPUR is a comprehensive benchmark for scientific experimental image perception, understanding, and reasoning, comprising 4,264 question-answering (QA) pairs derived from 1,084 expert-curated images. |
| Approach: | They propose to use 4,264 question-answering (QA) pairs derived from 1,084 expert-curated images to evaluate the visual perception of multimodal large language models (MLLMs) . they also propose to utilize cross-panel relation understanding to evaluate MLLM’s ability to decipher intricate cross-panel relations. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model is based on 4,264 question-answering pairs derived from 1,084 expert-curated images. |
