MMUIE: Massive Multi-Domain Universal Information Extraction for Long Documents (2026.findings-eacl)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing document-level information extraction systems operate at the sentence level or within narrow domains due to annotation constraints. |
| Approach: | They propose a large-scale universal dataset for multi-domain, document-level information extraction from long texts. |
| Outcome: | The proposed dataset integrates traditional knowledge bases with large language models to extract fine-grained entities, aliases, and relation triples across 34 domains. |

| Challenge: | a production-grade pricing system for tourism is challenging due to unstructured nature of travel orders and ever-evolving pricing policies. |
| Approach: | They propose a production-grade pricing system with a strict decision boundary . they propose to combine structured extraction and bounded policy/path selection with interpretable condition trees . |
| Outcome: | The proposed system processed 3,960 orders in six months and reduced the order management team from 15-20 to 3 . the system reduced the per-order handling time from 10 minutes to 2 minutes. |

Hongwei Liu, Zilong Zheng, Yuxuan Qiao, Haodong Duan, Zhiwei Fei, Fengzhe Zhou, Wenwei Zhang, Songyang Zhang, Dahua Lin, Kai Chen
| Challenge: | Recent advances in large language models have showcased significant improvements in mathematics, but traditional benchmarks like GSM8k offer a unidimensional perspective. |
| Approach: | MathBench is a benchmark that rigorously assesses the mathematical capabilities of large language models. |
| Outcome: | MathBench spans a wide range of mathematical disciplines, offering a detailed evaluation of both theoretical understanding and practical problem-solving skills. |

Zhenyu Lei, Herun Wan, Wenqian Zhang, Shangbin Feng, Zilong Chen, Jundong Li, Qinghua Zheng, Minnan Luo
| Challenge: | Existing methods to identify bots rely on text or networks alone . text-graph interactions and semantic consistency are essential improvements to combat bot evolution. |
| Approach: | They propose to combine text-graph interaction and semantic Consistency to model Twitter bots' behavior based on attention weights and a text-graphic interaction module to enable information exchange across modalities in the learning process. |
| Outcome: | The proposed framework outperforms state-of-the-art methods on two widely adopted datasets and the results are consistent with previous work. |
KCD: Knowledge Walks and Textual Cues Enhanced Political Perspective Detection in News Media (2022.naacl-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing approaches focus on leveraging textual content to identify stances, while they fail to reason with background knowledge or leverage the rich semantic and syntactic textual labels in news articles. |
| Approach: | They propose a political perspective detection approach that leverages news text to enable multi-hop knowledge reasoning and incorporates textual cues as paragraph-level labels. |
| Outcome: | The proposed approach outperforms state-of-the-art methods on two benchmark datasets. |
Boosting LLM Agents with Recursive Contemplation for Effective Deception Handling (2024.findings-acl)

Shenzhi Wang, Chang Liu, Zilong Zheng, Siyuan Qi, Shuo Chen, Qisen Yang, Andrew Zhao, Chaofei Wang, Shiji Song, Gao Huang
| Challenge: | Recent advances in large language models (LLMs) have led to significant success in using LLMs as agents. |
| Approach: | They propose a cognitive framework that incorporates first-order and second-order perspective transitions into LLMs to enhance their ability to identify and counteract deceptive information. |
| Outcome: | The proposed framework enhances LLMs’ ability to identify and counteract deceptive information without extra fine-tuning and data. |
PAR: Political Actor Representation Learning with Social Context and Expert Knowledge (2022.emnlp-main)

Shangbin Feng, Zhaoxuan Tan, Zilong Chen, Ningnan Wang, Peisheng Yu, Qinghua Zheng, Xiaojun Chang, Minnan Luo
| Challenge: | Existing approaches focus on textual data and voting records to induce political actors' stances. |
| Approach: | They propose a Political Actor Representation learning framework that leverages social context and expert knowledge to model ideological stances. |
| Outcome: | The proposed framework improves political text understanding and improves roll call vote prediction and political perspective detection. |
Annotate Chinese Aspect with UMR——a Case Study on the Liitle Prince (2024.lrec-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Uniform Meaning Representation (UMR) is a graphbased cross-linguistically applicable semantic representation that allows for deep semantic analysis. |
| Approach: | They propose to use an aspectual lattice to adapt to different languages and design values that encompass both viewpoint aspect and situation aspect. |
| Outcome: | The proposed representations are based on the Chinese version of The Little Prince and are compared with other representations. |
