VoxpopuliTTS: a large-scale multilingual TTS corpus for zero-shot speech generation (2025.coling-main)

Copied to clipboard

Challenge: Existing multilingual TTS datasets are limited in speech generation fields due to lack of quality data.
Approach: They propose to use 30,000 hours of high-quality speech data across 3 languages . they filter out low-quality text-text pairs and concatenate short transcripts .
Outcome: The proposed dataset comprises 30,000 hours of high-quality speech data, across 3 languages with multiple speakers and styles, suitable for various speech tasks such as TTS and ASR.
Make Templates Smarter: A Template Based Data2Text System Powered by Text Stitch Model (2020.findings-emnlp)

Copied to clipboard

Challenge: Neural network based data2text models drop or modify information in inputs and it is hard to control the generated contents.
Approach: They propose a template-based data2text system powered by a text stitch model that automatically stitches adjacent template units.
Outcome: The proposed system outperforms template-based systems in fidelity and human involvement on a benchmark dataset.
KnowCoder-X: Boosting Multilingual Information Extraction via Code (2025.findings-acl)

Copied to clipboard

Challenge: Empirical evidence indicates that Large Language Models exhibit spontaneous cross-lingual alignment in Information Extraction (IE) however, a significant imbalance across languages persists, highlighting an underlying deficiency.
Approach: They propose a code LLM with advanced cross-lingual and multilingual capabilities for universal IE that standardizes the representation of multilingual schemas using Python classes and conducts IE alignment instruction tuning on translated instance prediction task.
Outcome: The proposed model surpasses ChatGPT and SoTA by 30.17% without training in 29 unseen languages and significantly improves cross-lingual IE transferability.
Towards Event Extraction with Massive Types: LLM-based Collaborative Annotation and Partitioning Extraction (2025.emnlp-main)

Copied to clipboard

Challenge: Event Extraction (EE) is a long-standing target, but lacks an efficient and effective annotation framework to construct the corresponding datasets.
Approach: They propose an LLM-based collaborative annotation framework that refines annotations of triggers from distant supervision and carries out argument annotation.
Outcome: The proposed framework outperforms state-of-the-art methods on the largest EE dataset to date . it achieves the F1 scores of 90% and 85.3% on the human-annotated test set .
Black-Box Tuning of Vision-Language Models with Effective Gradient Approximation (2023.findings-emnlp)

Copied to clipboard

Challenge: Large vision-language models are often not open-source due to preventing abuse or commercial factors.
Approach: They propose a method for parameter-efficient fine-tuning to improve model accessibility . large models are often not open-source due to preventing abuse or commercial factors . they propose implementing a lightweight adapter over the output feature of an inaccessible model .
Outcome: The proposed methods improve on 11 benchmarks and are made publicly available.
