Chain-of-Thought (CoT) reasoning is crucial for the performance of Large Reasoning Models (LRMs) but is often hindered by redundant and distracting segments, which incur excessive inference costs and degrade robustness. Existing approaches try to solve this problem by enforcing brevity through ex...

It is crucial to understand a specific domain by events. Extensive event extraction research has been conducted in many domains such as news, finance, and biology. However, event extraction in scientific domain is still insufficiently supported by comprehensive datasets and tailored methods. Comp...

Recent advances in text-to-audio-video (T2AV) generation have enabled models to synthesize audio-visual videos with multi-participant dialogues. However, existing evaluation benchmarks remain largely designed for human-recorded videos or single-speaker settings. As a result, structural failures i...

User satisfaction serves as a key indicator of search experience in Generative Information Retrieval (GenIR) systems, and its accurate estimation is essential for system optimization. Extensive research in traditional IR has established interaction signals (e.g., dwell time, clicks, query reformu...
