The hubness problem, in which hub embeddings are close to many unrelated examples, occurs often in high-dimensional embedding spaces and may pose a practical threat for purposes such as information retrieval and automatic evaluation metrics.In particular, since cross-modal similarity between text...

Recently, we have often observed hallucinated citations or references that do not correspond to any existing work in papers under review, preprints, or published papers. Such hallucinated citations pose a serious concern to scientific reliability. When they appear in accepted papers, they may als...

The text-to-table task aims to generate structured data in tabular formats from unstructured text. While the integration of large language models (LLMs) has significantly enhanced the comprehensiveness and flexibility of generation, challenges regarding inconsistent output quality persist, such a...

Improving the quality of model-generated summaries, especially factuality, the accuracy of a summary with respect to its source content, remains a challenge. While reranking could select the optimal output from multiple generated candidates, it is limited to only using the source as guidance, res...

Acceptability judgments provide a crucial basis for understanding how sentences are perceived as natural or well-formed, and they are increasingly used to assess the linguistic capability of large language models (LLMs). Unlike grammaticality, acceptability depends not only on structural form but...

In simultaneous interpretation (SI), interpreters perform real-time translation by segmenting the source speech into chunks and translating them in the order they appear.Since surface-matching metrics such as BLEU correlate poorly with human evaluations, translation quality is often evaluated usi...
