ThinkQE: Query Expansion via an Evolving Thinking Process (2025.findings-emnlp)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | LLM-based methods often generate narrowly focused expansions that overlook these desiderata. |
| Approach: | They propose a test-time query expansion framework that promotes exploration and result diversity . ThinkQE encourages deeper and comprehensive semantic exploration and a corpus-interaction strategy that iteratively refines expansions . |
| Outcome: | The proposed framework outperforms prior approaches on diverse web search benchmarks. |
TRACE: A Corpus of Team Creative Discussions (2026.acl-long)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing studies on team creativity lack the ability to observe discussion dynamics from the perspective of natural language processing (NLP) Standard approaches capture participants' perceptions rather than actual behavior. |
| Approach: | They propose a corpus of 309 group discussions from 103 teams across six creative problem-solving tasks. |
| Outcome: | The proposed analysis reveals that large teams explore more broadly but converge less effectively while team diversity shapes participation patterns more than discussion content. |
