Liang Hu, Jianpeng Jiao, Jiashuo Liu +20
Search has emerged as core infrastructure for LLM-based agents and is widely viewed as critical on the path toward more general intelligence. Finance is a particularly demanding pr…
ST-Raptor: LLM-Powered Semi-Structured Table Question Answering
Zirui Tang, Boyu Niu, Xuanhe Zhou +6
Semi-structured tables, widely used in real-world applications (e.g., financial reports, medical records, transactional orders), often involve flexible and complex layouts (e.g., h…
Benchmarking Retrieval-Augmented Generation in Multi-Modal Contexts
Zhenghao Liu, Xingsheng Zhu, Tianshuo Zhou +5
With the rapid advancement of Multi-modal Large Language Models (MLLMs), their capability in understanding both images and text has greatly improved. However, their potential for l…
Joint Knowledge Editing for Information Enrichment and Probability Promotion
Wenhang Shi, Yiren Chen, Shuqing Bian +5
Knowledge stored in large language models requires timely updates to reflect the dynamic nature of real-world information. To update the knowledge, most knowledge editing methods f…
