On the Consistency of Commonsense in Large Language Models

ACL 2025finding

Commonsense, humans’ implicit understanding of everyday situations, is crucial for large language models (LLMs). Existing commonsense evaluations for LLMs primarily focus on downstream knowledge tasks, failing to probe whether LLMs truly understand and utilize knowledge or merely memorize it. They a…

Boosting Textural NER with Synthetic Image and Instructive Alignment

ACL 2024findings

Named entity recognition (NER) is a pivotal task reliant on textual data, often impeding the disambiguation of entities due to the absence of context. To tackle this challenge, conventional methods often incorporate images crawled from the internet as auxiliary information. However, the images often…

Cross-Modal and Uni-Modal Soft-Label Alignment for Image-Text Retrieval

AAAI 2024technical

Current image-text retrieval methods have demonstrated impressive performance in recent years. However, they still face two problems: the inter-modal matching missing problem and the intra-modal semantic loss problem. These problems can significantly affect the accuracy of image-text retrieval. To a…
