Recent retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) approaches have demonstrated strong capability in handling complex queries, yet current research overlooks a critical challenge: different retrievers require fundamentally different query formulation strategies for optimal performance. In this work, we...

The landscape of extremely low-resource machine translation (MT) is characterized by perplexing variability in reported performance, often making results across different language pairs difficult to contextualize. For researchers focused on specific language groups—such as ancient languages—it is...

Scientific rigour tends to be sidelined in favour of bold statements, leading authors to overstate claims beyond what their results support. We present RIGOURATE, a two-stage multimodal framework that retrieves supporting evidence from a paper’s body and assigns each claim an overstatement score....

While multimodal generative models have advanced radiology report generation (RRG), challenges remain in making reports accessible to patients and ensuring reliable evaluation. The technical language and templated nature of professional reports hinder patient comprehension and enable models to ar...
