| 2026 | AutoSchemaKG: Autonomous Knowledge Graph Construction through Dynamic Schema Induction from Web-Scale CorporaabstractWe present AutoSchemaKG, a framework for fully autonomous knowledge graph construction that eliminates the need for predefined schemas. Our system leverages large language models to simultaneously extract knowledge triples and induce comprehensive schemas directly from text, modeling both entities and events while employing conceptualization to organize instances into semantic categories. Processing over 50 million documents, we construct ATLAS (Automated Triple Linking And Schema induction), a family of knowledge graphs with 900+ million nodes and 5.9 billion edges. This approach outperforms state-of-the-art baselines on multi-hop QA tasks and enhances LLM factuality. Notably, our schema induction achieves 92\% semantic alignment with human-crafted schemas with zero manual intervention, demonstrating that billion-scale knowledge graphs with dynamically induced schemas can effectively complement parametric knowledge in large language models.

| 2026 | XToM: Exploring the Multilingual Theory of Mind for Large Language ModelsabstractTheory of Mind (ToM), the ability to infer mental states in others, is pivotal for human social cognition. Existing evaluations of ToM in LLMs are largely limited to English, neglecting the linguistic diversity that shapes human cognition. This limitation raises a critical question: can LLMs exhibit Multilingual Theory of Mind, which is the capacity to reason about mental states across diverse linguistic contexts? To address this gap, we present XToM, a rigorously validated multilingual benchmark that evaluates ToM across five languages and incorporates diverse, contextually rich task scenarios. Using XToM, we systematically evaluate LLMs (e.g., DeepSeek R1), revealing a pronounced dissonance: while models excel in multilingual language understanding, their ToM performance varies across languages. Our findings expose limitations in LLMs' ability to replicate human-like mentalizing across linguistic contexts.

| 2024 | Audience Persona Knowledge-Aligned Prompt Tuning Method for Online DebateabstractDebate is the process of exchanging viewpoints or convincing others on a particular issue. Recent research has provided empirical evidence that the persuasiveness of an argument is determined not only by language usage but also by communicator characteristics. Researchers have paid much attention to aspects of languages, such as linguistic features and discourse structures, but combining argument persuasiveness and impact with the social personae of the audience has not been explored due to the difficulty and complexity. We have observed the impressive simulation and personification capability of ChatGPT, indicating a giant pre-trained language model may function as an individual to provide personae and exert unique influences based on diverse background knowledge. Therefore, we propose a persona knowledge-aligned framework for argument quality assessment tasks from the audience side. This is the first work that leverages the emergence of ChatGPT and injects such audience personae knowledge into smaller language models via prompt tuning. The performance of our pipeline demonstrates significant and consistent improvement compared to competitive architectures.

| 2024 | Text-Tuple-Table: Towards Information Integration in Text-to-Table Generation via Global Tuple ExtractionabstractThe task of condensing large chunks of textual information into concise and structured tables has gained attention recently due to the emergence of Large Language Models (LLMs) and their potential benefit for downstream tasks, such as text summarization and text mining.Previous approaches often generate tables that directly replicate information from the text, limiting their applicability in broader contexts, as text-to-table generation in real-life scenarios necessitates information extraction, reasoning, and integration.However, there is a lack of both datasets and methodologies towards this task.In this paper, we introduce LIVESUM, a new benchmark dataset created for generating summary tables of competitions based on real-time commentary texts.We evaluate the performances of state-of-the-art LLMs on this task in both fine-tuning and zero-shot settings, and additionally propose a novel pipeline called T3 (Text-Tuple-Table ) to improve their performances.Extensive experimental results demonstrate that LLMs still struggle with this task even after fine-tuning, while our approach can offer substantial performance gains without explicit training.Further analyses demonstrate that our method exhibits strong generalization abilities, surpassing previous approaches on several other text-to-table datasets.

| 2024 | ActPlan-1K: Benchmarking the Procedural Planning Ability of Visual Language Models in Household ActivitiesabstractLarge language models (LLMs) have been adopted to process textual task description and accomplish procedural planning in embodied AI tasks because of their powerful reasoning ability.However, there is still lack of study on how vision language models (VLMs) behave when multi-modal task inputs are considered.Counterfactual planning that evaluates the model's reasoning ability over alternative task situations are also under exploited.In order to evaluate the planning ability of both multimodal and counterfactual aspects, we propose ActPlan-1K.ActPlan-1K is a multi-modal planning benchmark constructed based on ChatGPT and household activity simulator iGibson2.The benchmark consists of 153 activities and 1,187 instances.Each instance describing one activity has a natural language task description and multiple environment images from the simulator.The gold plan of each instance is action sequences over the objects in provided scenes.Both the correctness and commonsense satisfaction are evaluated on typical VLMs.It turns out that current VLMs are still struggling at generating human-level procedural plans for both normal activities and counterfactual activities.We further provide automatic evaluation metrics by finetuning over BLEURT model to facilitate future research on our benchmark.
