A Multi-Agent Framework for Feature-Constrained Difficulty Control in Reading Comprehension Item Generation

Recent studies in difficulty-controlled reading comprehension item generation have leveraged large language models (LLMs) to produce items by adjusting difficulty-related features. However, existing methods typically rely on a single-agent prompting approach, which often fails to consistently satisfy specified feature constraints, resulting in items that deviate from the target difficulty level. To address this limitation, we introduce MAFIG, a Multi-agent Framework for Feature-constrained Item Generation, where multiple LLM agents and feature-specific evaluators collaborate to generate and iteratively revise items based on intended constraints. Furthermore, to verify the efficacy of MAFIG in difficulty control, we propose a method for constructing a sequence of feature constraint sets that yield items with monotonically increasing difficulty. Experimental results demonstrate that MAFIG generates items that adhere to target constraints at a significantly higher rate than baselines, achieving robust difficulty control through the difficulty-calibrated constraint sequence.

Exploring Iterative Controllable Summarization with Large Language Models

Large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated remarkable performance in abstractive summarization tasks. However, their ability to precisely control summary attributes (e.g., length or topic) remains underexplored, limiting their adaptability to specific user preferences. In this paper, we systematically explore the controllability of LLMs. To this end, we revisit summary attribute measurements and introduce iterative evaluation metrics, failure rate and average iteration count to precisely evaluate controllability of LLMs, rather than merely assessing errors. Our findings show that LLMs struggle more with numerical attributes than with linguistic attributes. To address this challenge, we propose a guide-to-explain framework (GTE) for controllable summarization. Our GTE framework enables the model to identify misaligned attributes in the initial draft and guides it in self-explaining errors in the previous output. By allowing the model to reflect on its misalignment, GTE generates well-adjusted summaries that satisfy the desired attributes with robust effectiveness, requiring surprisingly fewer iterations than other iterative approaches.

Semantic Parsing with Candidate Expressions for Knowledge Base Question Answering

Semantic parsers convert natural language to logical forms, which can be evaluated on knowledge bases (KBs) to produce denotations. Recent semantic parsers have been developed with sequence-to-sequence (seq2seq) pre-trained language models (PLMs) or large language models, where the models treat logical forms as sequences of tokens. For syntactic and semantic validity, the semantic parsers use grammars that enable constrained decoding. However, the grammars lack the ability to utilize large information of KBs, although logical forms contain representations of KB elements, such as entities or relations. In this work, we propose a grammar augmented with candidate expressions for semantic parsing on a large KB with a seq2seq PLM. The grammar defines actions as production rules, and our semantic parser predicts actions during inference under the constraints by types and candidate expressions. We apply the grammar to knowledge base question answering, where the constraints by candidate expressions assist a semantic parser to generate valid KB elements. We also introduce two special rules, sub-type inference and union types, and a mask caching algorithm. In particular, sub-type inference and the mask caching algorithm greatly increase the decoding speed of our semantic parser. We experimented on two benchmarks, KQA Pro and Overnight, where the constraints by candidate expressions increased the accuracy of our semantic parser, whether it was trained with strong supervision or weak supervision. In addition, our semantic parser had a fast decoding speed in the experiments. Our source code is publicly available at https://github.com/daehwannam/candexpr-sp.git.

High Recall Data-to-text Generation with Progressive Edit

Data-to-text (D2T) generation is the task of generating texts from structured inputs. We observed that when the same target sentence was repeated twice, Transformer (T5) based model generates an output made up of asymmetric sentences from structured inputs. In other words, these sentences were different in length and quality. We call this phenomenon "Asymmetric Generation" and we exploit this in D2T generation. Once asymmetric sentences are generated, we add the first part of the output with a no-repeated-target. As this goes through progressive edit (ProEdit), the recall increases. Hence, this method better covers structured inputs than before editing. ProEdit is a simple but effective way to improve performance in D2T generation and it achieves the new stateof-the-art result on the ToTTo dataset

Automatic Open Knowledge Acquisition via Long Short-Term Memory Networks with Feedback Negative Sampling

Previous studies in Open Information Extraction (Open IE) are mainly based on extraction patterns. They manually define patterns or automatically learn them from a large corpus. However, these approaches are limited when grasping the context of a sentence, and they fail to capture implicit relations. In this paper, we address this problem with the following methods. First, we exploit long short-term memory (LSTM) networks to extract higher-level features along the shortest dependency paths, connecting headwords of relations and arguments. The path-level features from LSTM networks provide useful clues regarding contextual information and the validity of arguments. Second, we constructed samples to train LSTM networks without the need for manual labeling. In particular, feedback negative sampling picks highly negative samples among non-positive samples through a model trained with positive samples. The experimental results show that our approach produces more precise and abundant extractions than state-of-the-art open IE systems. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first work to apply deep learning to Open IE.
