VisJudge-Bench: Aesthetics and Quality Assessment of Visualizations

ICLR 2026poster

Visualization, a domain-specific yet widely used form of imagery, is an effective way to turn complex datasets into intuitive insights, and its value depends on whether data are faithfully represented, clearly communicated, and aesthetically designed. However, evaluating visualization quality is cha…

AXIS: Efficient Human-Agent-Computer Interaction with API-First LLM-Based Agents

ACL 2025long

Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have enabled LLM-based agents to directly interact with application user interfaces (UIs), enhancing agents’ performance in complex tasks. However, these agents often suffer from high latency and low reliability due to the extensive sequential UI interactions…

From Chaotic OCR Words to Coherent Document: A Fine-to-Coarse Zoom-Out Network for Complex-Layout Document Image Translation

COLING 2025main

Document Image Translation (DIT) aims to translate documents in images from one language to another. It requires visual layouts and textual contents understanding, as well as document coherence capturing. However, current methods often rely on the quality of OCR output, which, particularly in comple…

Improving MLLM’s Document Image Machine Translation via Synchronously Self-reviewing Its OCR Proficiency

ACL 2025finding

Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) have shown strong performance in document image tasks, especially Optical Character Recognition (OCR). However, they struggle with Document Image Machine Translation (DIMT), which requires handling both cross-modal and cross-lingual challenges. Previous effor…

Re3Syn: A Dependency-Based Data Synthesis Framework for Long-Context Post-training

ACL 2025long

An important trend in the realm of large language models (LLMs) is the development of longer context windows. However, training LLMs with long context windows to acquire the capability of effectively modeling lengthy inputs is often hindered by the scarcity of naturally long-context data. Existing m…

SHIFT: Selected Helpful Informative Frame for Video-guided Machine Translation

EMNLP 2025

Video-guided Machine Translation (VMT) aims to improve translation quality by integrating contextual information from paired short video clips. Mainstream VMT approaches typically incorporate multimodal information by uniformly sampling frames from the input videos. However, this paradigm frequently

Single-to-mix Modality Alignment with Multimodal Large Language Model for Document Image Machine Translation

ACL 2025long

Document Image Machine Translation (DIMT) aims to translate text within document images, facing generalization challenges due to limited training data and the complex interplay between visual and textual information. To address these challenges, we introduce M4Doc, a novel single-to-mix Modality ali…

Born a BabyNet with Hierarchical Parental Supervision for End-to-End Text Image Machine Translation

COLING 2024main

Text image machine translation (TIMT) aims at translating source language texts in images into another target language, which has been proven successful by bridging text image recognition encoder and text translation decoder. However, it is still an open question of how to incorporate fine-grained k…

Document Image Machine Translation with Dynamic Multi-pre-trained Models Assembling

NAACL 2024long

Text image machine translation (TIMT) is a task that translates source texts embedded in the image to target translations. The existing TIMT task mainly focuses on text-line-level images. In this paper, we extend the current TIMT task and propose a novel task, **D**ocument **I**mage **M**achine **T*…

An Empirical Investigation of Implicit and Explicit Knowledge-Enhanced Methods for Ad Hoc Dataset Retrieval

EMNLP 2023long findings

Ad hoc dataset retrieval has become an important way of finding data on the Web, where the underlying problem is how to measure the relevance of a dataset to a query. State-of-the-art solutions for this task are still lexical methods, which cannot capture semantic similarity. Semantics-aware knowled…
