JADE: Expert-Grounded Dynamic Evaluation for Open-Ended Professional Tasks

ICML 2026poster

Evaluating agentic AI on open-ended professional tasks faces a fundamental dilemma between rigor and flexibility. Static rubrics provide rigorous, reproducible assessment but fail to accommodate diverse valid response strategies, while LLM-as-a-judge approaches adapt to individual responses yet suff…

An Effective and Efficient Time-aware Entity Alignment Framework via Two-aspect Three-view Label Propagation

IJCAI 2023poster

Entity alignment (EA) aims to find the equivalent entity pairs between different knowledge graphs (KGs), which is crucial to promote knowledge fusion. With the wide use of temporal knowledge graphs (TKGs), time-aware EA (TEA) methods appear to enhance EA. Existing TEA models are based on Graph Neura…

Prediction and Calibration: Complex Reasoning over Knowledge Graph with Bi-directional Directed Acyclic Graph Neural Network

ACL 2023findings

Answering complex logical queries is a challenging task for knowledge graph (KG) reasoning. Recently, query embedding (QE) has been proposed to encode queries and entities into the same vector space, and obtain answers based on numerical computation. However, such models obtain the node representati…

Query2Triple: Unified Query Encoding for Answering Diverse Complex Queries over Knowledge Graphs

EMNLP 2023long findings

Complex Query Answering (CQA) is a challenge task of Knowledge Graph (KG). Due to the incompleteness of KGs, query embedding (QE) methods have been proposed to encode queries and entities into the same embedding space, and treat logical operators as neural set operators to obtain answers. However, t…

A Simple Temporal Information Matching Mechanism for Entity Alignment between Temporal Knowledge Graphs

COLING 2022main

Entity alignment (EA) aims to find entities in different knowledge graphs (KGs) that refer to the same object in the real world. Recent studies incorporate temporal information to augment the representations of KGs. The existing methods for EA between temporal KGs (TKGs) utilize a time-aware attenti…
