In multi-hop reasoning, multi-round retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) methods typically rely on LLM-generated content as the retrieval query. However, these approaches are inherently vulnerable to knowledge overshadowing—a phenomenon where critical information is overshadowed during generation.
Multi-session personalized dialogue generation is one of the most important topics in open-domain dialogue. It aims to generate responses consistent with the dialogue history and personality information across multiple sessions to engage users’ interest in the dialogue. Recent approaches focusing on…
Knowledge Base Question Answering (KBQA) aims to extract accurate answers from the Knowledge Base (KB). Traditional Semantic Parsing (SP)-based methods are widely used but struggle with complex queries. Recently, large language models (LLMs) have shown promise in improving KBQA performance. However,
Large language models (LLMs) have shown exceptional performance across various domains. However, LLMs are prone to hallucinate facts and generate non-factual responses, which can undermine their reliability in real-world applications. Current hallucination detection methods suffer from external reso
Counterfactual data augmentation, which generates minimally edited tokens to alter labels, has become a key approach to improving model robustness in natural language processing (NLP). It is usually implemented by first identifying the causal terms and then modifying these terms to create counterfac…
Knowledge Base Question Answering (KBQA) is a fundamental task that enables natural language interaction with structured knowledge bases (KBs).Given a natural language question, KBQA aims to retrieve the answers from the KB. However, existing approaches, including retrieval-based, semantic parsing-b
Pre-trained language models (PLMs) have achieved remarkable knowledge graph completion(KGC) success. However, most methods derive KGC results mainly from triple-level and text-described learning, which lack the capability to capture long-term relational and structural information. Moreover, the abse
Knowledge graphs (KGs) can provide explainable reasoning for large language models (LLMs), alleviating their hallucination problem. Knowledge graph question answering (KGQA) is a typical benchmark to evaluate the methods enhancing LLMs with KG. Previous methods on KG-enhanced LLM for KGQA either enh…
Recently, significant progress has been made in employing Large Language Models (LLMs) for semantic parsing to address Knowledge Base Question Answering (KBQA) tasks. Previous work utilize LLMs to generate query statements on Knowledge Bases (KBs) for retrieving answers. However, LLMs often generate…
Pre-trained language models (PLMs) have shown great dialogue generation capability in different scenarios. However, the huge VRAM consumption when fine-tuning them is one of their drawbacks. PEFT approaches can significantly reduce the number of trainable parameters, which enables us to fine-tune la…
In event argument extraction (EAE), a promising approach involves jointly encoding text and argument roles, and performing multiple token linking operations. This approach further falls into two categories. One extracts arguments within a single event, while the other attempts to extract arguments f…
In task-oriented dialogue systems, Dialogue State Tracking (DST) aims to extract users' intentions from the dialogue history. Currently, most existing approaches suffer from error propagation and are unable to dynamically select relevant information when utilizing previous dialogue states. Moreover,…
Emotion-cause pair extraction (ECPE) is an emerging task in emotion cause analysis, which extracts potential emotion-cause pairs from an emotional document. Most recent studies use end-to-end methods to tackle the ECPE task. However, these methods either suffer from a label sparsity problem or fail…
Although the existing Named Entity Recognition (NER) models have achieved promising performance, they suffer from certain drawbacks. The sequence labeling-based NER models do not perform well in recognizing long entities as they focus only on word-level information, while the segment-based NER model…
Deep neural networks (DNNs) are becoming more and more popular in speech enhancement. Most of DNN-based speech enhancement approaches currently operate on magnitude spectra and ignore the phase mismatch between noisy and clean speech which greatly limits the speech enhancement performance. This pape…
