A Boundary Token Graph for Zero-Shot Relation Triplet Extraction Involving Discontinuous Entities

AAAI 2026technical

Zero-Shot Relation Triplet Extraction (ZSRTE) aims to extract head-tail entity pairs and their corresponding relations from sentences, where the relations available during inference are not seen during training. Existing methods typically assume that entities are continuous; however, in practice, en

DeTri: Debiasing General-Purpose LLMs for Zero-Shot Relation Triplet Extraction via Structural Expert

IJCAI 2026

Zero-Shot Relation Triplet Extraction (ZSRTE) aims to extract relation triplets for unseen relation types without any annotated training data. Recent advancements in Large Language Models (LLMs) have significantly enhanced ZSRTE performance, enabling the direct generation of relational triplets from

Simulated Ignorance Fails: A Systematic Study of LLM Behaviors on Forecasting Problems Before Model Knowledge Cutoff

IJCAI 2026

Evaluating LLM forecasting capabilities is constrained by a fundamental tension: prospective evaluation offers methodological rigor but prohibitive latency, while retrospective forecasting (RF)—evaluating on already-resolved events—faces rapidly shrinking clean evaluation data as SOTA models possess

CE-DA: Custom Embedding and Dynamic Aggregation for Zero-Shot Relation Extraction

COLING 2025main

Zero-shot Relation Extraction (ZSRE) aims to predict novel relations from sentences with given entity pairs, where the relations have not been encountered during training. Prototypebased methods, which achieve ZSRE by aligning the sentence representation and the relation prototype representation, ha…

Frame First, Then Extract: A Frame-Semantic Reasoning Pipeline for Zero-Shot Relation Triplet Extraction

EMNLP 2025

Large Language Models (LLMs) have shown impressive capabilities in language understanding and generation, leading to growing interest in zero-shot relation triplet extraction (ZeroRTE), a task that aims to extract triplets for unseen relations without annotated data. However, existing methods typica

Generation-Augmented Retrieval: Rethinking the Role of Large Language Models in Zero-Shot Relation Extraction

EMNLP 2025

Recent advances in Relation Extraction (RE) emphasize Zero-Shot methodologies, aiming to recognize unseen relations between entities with no annotated data. Although Large Language Models (LLMs) have demonstrated outstanding performance in many NLP tasks, their performance in Zero-Shot RE (ZSRE) wit

Re-Cent: A Relation-Centric Framework for Joint Zero-Shot Relation Triplet Extraction

COLING 2025main

Zero-shot Relation Triplet Extraction (ZSRTE) aims to extract triplets from the context where the relation patterns are unseen during training. Due to the inherent challenges of the ZSRTE task, existing extractive ZSRTE methods often decompose it into named entity recognition and relation classifica…

AlignRE: An Encoding and Semantic Alignment Approach for Zero-Shot Relation Extraction

ACL 2024findings

Zero-shot Relation Extraction (ZSRE) aims to predict unseen relations between entity pairs from input sentences. Existing prototype-based ZSRE methods encode relation descriptions into prototype embeddings and predict by measuring the similarity between sentence embeddings and prototype embeddings.…

ProCQA: A Large-scale Community-based Programming Question Answering Dataset for Code Search

COLING 2024main

Retrieval-based code question answering seeks to match user queries in natural language to relevant code snippets. Previous approaches typically rely on pretraining models using crafted bi-modal and uni-modal datasets to align text and code representations. In this paper, we introduce ProCQA, a larg…

An Application of Quantum Mechanics to Attention Methods in Computer Vision

ICASSP 2023accepted

This work proposes the quantum-state-based mapping (QSM) for machine learning. QSM uses wave functions that describe microscopic particle systems as mappings. By QSM, original inputs or features extracted by neural networks are processed as quantum states to train wave function parameters. QSM has a…

Text Representation Distillation via Information Bottleneck Principle

EMNLP 2023long main

Pre-trained language models (PLMs) have recently shown great success in text representation field. However, the high computational cost and high-dimensional representation of PLMs pose significant challenges for practical applications. To make models more accessible, an effective method is to distil…
