WebWeaver: Structuring Web-Scale Evidence with Dynamic Outlines for Open-Ended Deep Research

ICLR 2026poster

This paper tackles \textbf{open-ended deep research (OEDR)}, a complex challenge where AI agents must synthesize vast web-scale information into insightful reports. Current approaches are plagued by dual-fold limitations: static research pipelines that decouple planning from evidence acquisition and…

WritingBench: A Comprehensive Benchmark for Generative Writing

NeurIPS 2025poster

Recent advancements in large language models (LLMs) have significantly enhanced text generation capabilities, yet evaluating their performance in generative writing remains a challenge. Existing benchmarks primarily focus on generic text generation or limited in writing tasks, failing to capture the…

A Simple yet Effective Training-free Prompt-free Approach to Chinese Spelling Correction Based on Large Language Models

EMNLP 2024main

This work proposes a simple training-free prompt-free approach to leverage large language models (LLMs) for the Chinese spelling correction (CSC) task, which is totally different from all previous CSC approaches. The key idea is to use an LLM as a pure language model in a conventional manner. The LL…

Towards Better Graph-based Cross-document Relation Extraction via Non-bridge Entity Enhancement and Prediction Debiasing

ACL 2024findings

Cross-document Relation Extraction aims to predict the relation between target entities located in different documents. In this regard, the dominant models commonly retain useful information for relation prediction via bridge entities, which allows the model to elaborately capture the intrinsic inte…

Type-Driven Multi-Turn Corrections for Grammatical Error Correction

ACL 2022findings

Grammatical Error Correction (GEC) aims to automatically detect and correct grammatical errors. In this aspect, dominant models are trained by one-iteration learning while performing multiple iterations of corrections during inference. Previous studies mainly focus on the data augmentation approach…

A Structure Self-Aware Model for Discourse Parsing on Multi-Party Dialogues

IJCAI 2021poster

Conversational discourse structures aim to describe how a dialogue is organized, thus they are helpful for dialogue understanding and response generation. This paper focuses on predicting discourse dependency structures for multi-party dialogues. Previous work adopts incremental methods that take th…

Improving Graph-based Sentence Ordering with Iteratively Predicted Pairwise Orderings

EMNLP 2021main

Dominant sentence ordering models can be classified into pairwise ordering models and set-to-sequence models. However, there is little attempt to combine these two types of models, which inituitively possess complementary advantages. In this paper, we propose a novel sentence ordering framework whic…
