Expert finding plays a crucial role in Community Question Answering platforms by routing questions to the most suitable answerers. The key challenge lies in learning high-quality representations for questions and experts. Most existing methods rely on limited supervised signals such as expert–questi
Recently, Large Language Models (LLMs) have demonstrated remarkable capabilities in natural language understanding, reasoning, and generation, prompting the recommendation community to leverage these powerful models to address fundamental challenges in traditional recommender systems, including limi
Large Language Models (LLMs) have demonstrated exceptional performance across various tasks, with pre-training stage serving as the cornerstone of their capabilities. However, the conventional fixed-length data composition strategy for pre-training presents several practical challenges. When using s
Large language models (LLMs) excel in natural language tasks, with Chain-of-Thought (CoT) prompting enhancing reasoning through step-by-step decomposition. However, CoT struggles in knowledge-intensive tasks with multiple entities and implicit multi-hop relations, failing to connect entities systema
News recommender systems face inherent challenges from popularity bias, where user interactions concentrate heavily on a small subset of popular news. While existing debiasing methods have made progress in recommendation, they often overlook two critical aspects: the different granularity of news po
Recent advancement in code understanding and generation demonstrates that code LLMs fine-tuned on a high-quality instruction dataset can gain powerful capabilities to address wide-ranging code-related tasks. However, most previous existing methods mainly view each programming language in isolation a…
Chain-of-thought (CoT) has emerged as a powerful technique to elicit reasoning in large language models and improve a variety of downstream tasks. CoT mainly demonstrates excellent performance in English, but its usage in low-resource languages is constrained due to poor language generalization. To…
In Community Question Answering (CQA) websites, most current expert finding methods often model expert embeddings from textual features and optimize them with expert-question first-order interactions, i.e., this expert has answered this question. In this paper, we try to address the limitation of cu…
Expert finding could help route questions to potential suitable users to answer in Community Question Answering (CQA) platforms. Hence it is essential to learn accurate representations of experts and questions according to the question text articles. Recently the pre-training and fine-tuning paradig…
Expert Finding is an important task in Community Question Answering (CQA) platforms, which could help route questions to potential users to answer. The key is to learn representations of experts based on their historical answered questions accurately. In this paper, inspired by the strong text under…
