How Do Large Language Models Learn Concepts During Continual Pre-Training?
Barry Menglong Yao, Sha Li, Yunzhi Yao +4
Human beings primarily understand the world through concepts (e.g., dog), abstract mental representations that structure perception, reasoning, and learning. However, how large lan…
AMELI: Enhancing Multimodal Entity Linking with Fine-Grained Attributes
Barry Menglong Yao, Sijia Wang, Yu Chen +5
We propose attribute-aware multimodal entity linking, where the input consists of a mention described with a text paragraph and images, and the goal is to predict the corresponding…
