From Single- to Cross-Document: Benchmarking Multi-Granularity Event Analysis of Large Language Models

MGAL: A Multilingual Granularity-Aware Long-Context Benchmark

MGAL is the first multilingual, granularity- and position-aware long-context benchmark, constructed from United Nations reports spanning 8K to 128K tokens across the six official UN languages, and finds that LLMs perform well at word-level tasks but struggle with coarser-grained ones.

DocHop: Benchmarking Out-of-domain Multi-hop Reasoning in Information-Dense Documents

Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) have achieved strong performance on structured visual understanding tasks such as chart and document question answering. However, existing benchmarks typically evaluate these domains in isolation, leaving underexplored a key capability: whether models can use textual context to determine how chart evidence should be selected, interpreted, and aggregated. We introduce DocHop, a benchmark for integrated chart--context reasoning in document-style images. In DocHop, the document narrative specifies multi-step compositional constraints, while charts provide the corresponding data values. Questions are grounded on a semantic reference label defined in the narrative, requiring models to resolve target entities from context before aggregating evidence across multiple charts. To enable systematic evaluation, we construct DocHop via a stochastic logic-first generation pipeline with controllable reasoning depth and visual density, covering 2,074 examples across six task categories. Experiments on a wide range of proprietary and open-source MLLMs show a substantial gap to human performance: annotators achieve over 90% accuracy, while the best model reaches only 62.83%. Reasoning-enhanced models consistently show improved results, but performance degrades as reasoning complexity increases. Overall, DocHop provides a controlled testbed for challenging multi-hop document reasoning.

AutoDavis: Automatic and Dynamic Evaluation Protocol of Large Vision-Language Models on Visual Question-Answering

Large Vision-Language Models (LVLMs) have become essential for advancing the integration of visual and linguistic information. While existing benchmarks have laid a solid foundation for evaluation, they are often static, resource-intensive to build, and limited in adaptability. In comparison, automatic evaluation has shown promise in the textual domain, but the visual modality remains far less explored. To advance this frontier, in this work, we introduce AutoDavis, a first-of-its-kind automatic and dynamic evaluation protocol that enables on-demand benchmarking of LVLMs across specific capability dimensions. AutoDavis leverages text-to-image models to generate relevant image samples and then utilizes LVLMs to orchestrate visual question-answering (VQA) tasks, completing the evaluation process efficiently and flexibly. To ensure data diversity, our framework employs a hierarchical aspect-driven generation process enhanced with semantic graph-based constraints. To safeguard reliability, the framework incorporates a self-validation mechanism to detect and correct errors, along with an error-driven adjustment module to mitigate potential bias. Through an extensive evaluation of 11 popular LVLMs across five demanded user inputs (i.e., evaluation capabilities), the framework shows effectiveness and reliability, offering a new paradigm for dynamic benchmarking of multimodal intelligence.

A Scalable Cross-Domain Event Extraction System via a Unified Generative Training Framework

Event extraction is fundamental to information extraction. Prior approaches often separate event detection and argument extraction or depend on dataset-specific designs, limiting scalability and cross-domain generalization. We propose a unified generative sequence-to-sequence framework that performs event extraction subtasks jointly and supports both pipeline and end-to-end configurations. We fine-tune pretrained language models on multiple event datasets across diverse domains, enabling a single model to retain domain-specific semantics while generalizing over large and evolving label spaces. We demonstrate these capabilities through a web-based application tailored for researchers and practitioners. The platform supports document upload, schema-aware event extraction, visualization of triggers and arguments, and comparison of different extraction configurations across domains.

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.
