Attend to Fragments: How Key Information Affects Large Language Models for Factual Inconsistency Detection

A new benchmark, KIFI, is designed, which comprises 1032 carefully selected instances from the TRUE and ScreenEval datasets, with key information annotated, and it is shown that LLMs frequently fail to use the appropriate information to make correct decisions.

Rationale-Guided Knowledge Distillation for Cross-Lingual Stance Detection

A rationale-guided knowledge distillation framework for cross-lingual stance detection using Chain-of-Thought prompting to guide Large Language Models in generating informative rationales, and distill the resulting reasoning knowledge into a compact student model.

Optimizing sample selection for large language model-based entity matching using AssistEM

AssistEM, a framework for efficient LLM adaptation to EM via principled data selection, demonstrates that selective fine-tuning not only accelerates adaptation but also improves training efficiency (requiring fewer GPU hours), enabling open-source LLMs to rival–and in some cases outperform–closed-source models.

From Confusion to Clarity: Confusion-Aware Retrieval and Knowledge Injection for Text Classification

Large language models (LLMs) struggle to classify text into taxonomies with many semantically similar labels, as the distinctions are domain-specific and not captured by pre-training. To handle large label spaces, a common approach retrieves top-$K$ candidate labels by embedding similarity and prompt the LLM to choose among them. However, top-$K$ retrieval reduces the number of candidates but does not help the model tell similar ones apart. When two similar labels both appear as candidates, the model lacks the signal to choose correctly between them. We propose a framework that (1) identifies which label pairs the model struggles to distinguish, (2) expands the candidate set to include confusable labels, and (3) generates targeted rules to differentiate between similar candidates. The framework requires no fine-tuning, and the generated rules transfer to smaller, cheaper models. On three benchmarks (WOS, Flipkart, LEDGAR), our approach improves Macro F1 by up to 10.0pp over retrieval baselines, with smaller models (2B--20B) gaining up to 11.5pp via cross-model transfer.

LLM Post-Training to Enhance Knowledge Extraction from Specialist Domains: Teaching LLMs User Forum Creole

Whether preserving the full recursive structure of user forum threads during post-training is a more effective first step toward knowledge extraction than flattened question-answer pairs is investigated andEncoder–decoder architectures with bidirectional cross-attention are identified as a promising next step for exploiting the full collaborative structure of forum discourse.

Lightweight reasoning models for NER

Lite-CoNER is proposed, a lightweight NER framework that achieves an effective balance between recognition accuracy and inference efficiency and provides a transparent view of the decision-making process, proving that lightweight models can effectively inherit complex logic through structured distillation.
