Li, Xunkai, Wu, Zhengyu, Wu, Jiayi, Cui, Hanwen, Jia, Jishuo, Li, Rong-Hua, Wang, Guoren
With the increasing prevalence of cross-domain Text-Attributed Graph (TAG) Data (e.g., citation networks, recommendation systems, social networks, and ai4science), the integration of Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) and Large Language Models (LLMs) into a unified Model architecture (e.g., LLM as enhancer, LLM as collaborators, LLM as predictor) has emerged as a promising technological paradigm. The core of this new graph learning paradigm lies in the synergistic combination of GNNs' ability to capture complex structural relationships and LLMs' proficiency in understanding informative contexts from the rich textual descriptions of graphs. Therefore, we can leverage graph description texts with rich semantic context to fundamentally enhance Data quality, thereby improving the representational capacity of model-centric approaches in line with data-centric machine learning principles. By leveraging the strengths of these distinct neural network architectures, this integrated approach addresses a wide range of TAG-based Task (e.g., graph learning, graph reasoning, and graph question answering), particularly in complex industrial scenarios (e.g., supervised, few-shot, and zero-shot settings). In other words, we can treat text as a medium to enable cross-domain generalization of graph learning Model, allowing a single graph model to effectively handle the diversity of downstream graph-based Task across different data domains. This work serves as a foundational reference for researchers and practitioners looking to advance graph learning methodologies in the rapidly evolving landscape of LLM.

Krony-PT: GPT2 compressed with Kronecker Products
Ayad, M. Ayoub Ben, Mitrovic, Jelena, Granitzer, Michael
We introduce Krony-PT, a compression technique of GPT2 \citep{radford2019language} based on Kronecker Products. We specifically target the MLP layers of each transformer layer, and systematically compress the feed forward layer matrices to various degrees. We introduce a modified Van Loan decomposition to initialize the new factors, and also introduce a new pruning-based initialization trick. Our method compresses the original 124M parameter GPT2 to various smaller models, with 80M being the smallest, and 96M being the largest compressed model. Our 81M model variant outperforms distilgpt2 on next-token prediction on all standard language modeling datasets, and shows competitive scores or performs on par with other Kronecker Products based compressed models of GPT2 that are significantly higher in size.

Lin, Yueqian, Fu, Yuzhe, Zhang, Jingyang, Liu, Yudong, Zhang, Jianyi, Sun, Jingwei, Li, Hai "Helen", Chen, Yiran
These benchmarks contain only short audio clips and thus do not reflect the complexity of achieving long-context Speech Large Language Models (Speech LLMs) represent a understanding and extracting precise information from lengthy significant advancement in speech language understanding and audio sequences. To systematically assess the unique challenges processing, as they leverage contextual reasoning capabilities of posed by SIR, we present SPIRAL (Speech Informational large language models to process audio inputs [1]. Unlike traditional Retrieval and Lookup), a 1,012-sample benchmark specifically cascaded pipelines, where automatic speech recognition crafted to evaluate Speech LLM performance on long-form (ASR) and language modeling are handled by separate modules, audio sequences (around 90 seconds in duration). On a high Speech LLMs unify audio processing, cross-modal fusion, and level, SPIRAL constructs SIR questions by embedding a critical language modeling in a single architecture [2]. These unified piece of information within lengthy and potentially distracting models can perform multiple tasks like speech recognition, dialogues, thereby assessing the model ability to pinpoint and speech translation, speaker identification and emotion recognition, retrieve essential content from long-form inputs.

The rapid evolution of communication networks in recent decades has intensified the need for advanced Network and Service Management (NSM) strategies to address the growing demands for efficiency, scalability, enhanced performance, and reliability of these networks. Large Language Models (LLMs) have received tremendous attention due to their unparalleled capabilities in various Natural Language Processing (NLP) tasks and generating context-aware insights, offering transformative potential for automating diverse communication NSM tasks. Contrasting existing surveys that consider a single network domain, this survey investigates the integration of LLMs across different communication network domains, including mobile networks and related technologies, vehicular networks, cloud-based networks, and fog/edge-based networks. First, the survey provides foundational knowledge of LLMs, explicitly detailing the generic transformer architecture, general-purpose and domain-specific LLMs, LLM model pre-training and fine-tuning, and their relation to communication NSM. Under a novel taxonomy of network monitoring and reporting, AI-powered network planning, network deployment and distribution, and continuous network support, we extensively categorize LLM applications for NSM tasks in each of the different network domains, exploring existing literature and their contributions thus far. Then, we identify existing challenges and open issues, as well as future research directions for LLM-driven communication NSM, emphasizing the need for scalable, adaptable, and resource-efficient solutions that align with the dynamic landscape of communication networks. We envision that this survey serves as a holistic roadmap, providing critical insights for leveraging LLMs to enhance NSM.
Glimpse: Enabling White-Box Methods to Use Proprietary Models for Zero-Shot LLM-Generated Text Detection
Bao, Guangsheng, Zhao, Yanbin, He, Juncai, Zhang, Yue
Advanced large language models (LLMs) can generate text almost indistinguishable from human-written text, highlighting the importance of LLM-generated text detection. However, current zero-shot techniques face challenges as white-box methods are restricted to use weaker open-source LLMs, and black-box methods are limited by partial observation from stronger proprietary LLMs. It seems impossible to enable white-box methods to use proprietary models because API-level access to the models neither provides full predictive distributions nor inner embeddings. To traverse the divide, we propose Glimpse, a probability distribution estimation approach, predicting the full distributions from partial observations. Despite the simplicity of Glimpse, we successfully extend white-box methods like Entropy, Rank, Log-Rank, and Fast-DetectGPT to latest proprietary models. Experiments show that Glimpse with Fast-DetectGPT and GPT-3.5 achieves an average AUROC of about 0.95 in five latest source models, improving the score by 51% relative to the remaining space of the open source baseline (Table 1). It demonstrates that the latest LLMs can effectively detect their own outputs, suggesting that advanced LLMs may be the best shield against themselves.
OpenReviewer: A Specialized Large Language Model for Generating Critical Scientific Paper Reviews
Idahl, Maximilian, Ahmadi, Zahra
We present OpenReviewer, an open-source system for generating high-quality peer reviews of machine learning and AI conference papers. At its core is Llama-OpenReviewer-8B, an 8B parameter language model specifically fine-tuned on 79,000 expert reviews from top ML conferences. Given a PDF paper submission and review template as input, OpenReviewer extracts the full text, including technical content like equations and tables, and generates a structured review following conference-specific guidelines. Our evaluation on 400 test papers shows that OpenReviewer produces significantly more critical and realistic reviews compared to general-purpose LLMs like GPT-4 and Claude-3.5. While other LLMs tend toward overly positive assessments, OpenReviewer's recommendations closely match the distribution of human reviewer ratings. The system provides authors with rapid, constructive feedback to improve their manuscripts before submission, though it is not intended to replace human peer review. OpenReviewer is available as an online demo and open-source tool.
BioRAGent: A Retrieval-Augmented Generation System for Showcasing Generative Query Expansion and Domain-Specific Search for Scientific Q&A
We present BioRAGent, an interactive web-based retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) system for biomedical question answering. The system uses large language models (LLMs) for query expansion, snippet extraction, and answer generation while maintaining transparency through citation links to the source documents and displaying generated queries for further editing. Building on our successful participation in the BioASQ 2024 challenge, we demonstrate how few-shot learning with LLMs can be effectively applied for a professional search setting. The system supports both direct short paragraph style responses and responses with inline citations. Our demo is available online, and the source code is publicly accessible through GitHub.
A Method for Detecting Legal Article Competition for Korean Criminal Law Using a Case-augmented Mention Graph
An, Seonho, Rhim, Young Yik, Kim, Min-Soo
As social systems become increasingly complex, legal articles are also growing more intricate, making it progressively harder for humans to identify any potential competitions among them, particularly when drafting new laws or applying existing laws. Despite this challenge, no method for detecting such competitions has been proposed so far. In this paper, we propose a new legal AI task called Legal Article Competition Detection (LACD), which aims to identify competing articles within a given law. Our novel retrieval method, CAM-Re2, outperforms existing relevant methods, reducing false positives by 20.8% and false negatives by 8.3%, while achieving a 98.2% improvement in precision@5, for the LACD task. We release our codes at https://github.com/asmath472/LACD-public.
Knowledge Boundary of Large Language Models: A Survey
Li, Moxin, Zhao, Yong, Deng, Yang, Zhang, Wenxuan, Li, Shuaiyi, Xie, Wenya, Ng, See-Kiong, Chua, Tat-Seng
Although large language models (LLMs) store vast amount of knowledge in their parameters, they still have limitations in the memorization and utilization of certain knowledge, leading to undesired behaviors such as generating untruthful and inaccurate responses. This highlights the critical need to understand the knowledge boundary of LLMs, a concept that remains inadequately defined in existing research. In this survey, we propose a comprehensive definition of the LLM knowledge boundary and introduce a formalized taxonomy categorizing knowledge into four distinct types. Using this foundation, we systematically review the field through three key lenses: the motivation for studying LLM knowledge boundaries, methods for identifying these boundaries, and strategies for mitigating the challenges they present. Finally, we discuss open challenges and potential research directions in this area. We aim for this survey to offer the community a comprehensive overview, facilitate access to key issues, and inspire further advancements in LLM knowledge research.
LLMs for Cold-Start Cutting Plane Separator Configuration
Lawless, Connor, Li, Yingxi, Wikum, Anders, Udell, Madeleine, Vitercik, Ellen
Mixed integer linear programming (MILP) solvers ship with a staggering number of parameters that are challenging to select a priori for all but expert optimization users, but can have an outsized impact on the performance of the MILP solver. Existing machine learning (ML) approaches to configure solvers require training ML models by solving thousands of related MILP instances, generalize poorly to new problem sizes, and often require implementing complex ML pipelines and custom solver interfaces that can be difficult to integrate into existing optimization workflows. In this paper, we introduce a new LLM-based framework to configure which cutting plane separators to use for a given MILP problem with little to no training data based on characteristics of the instance, such as a natural language description of the problem and the associated LaTeX formulation. We augment these LLMs with descriptions of cutting plane separators available in a given solver, grounded by summarizing the existing research literature on separators. While individual solver configurations have a large variance in performance, we present a novel ensembling strategy that clusters and aggregates configurations to create a small portfolio of high-performing configurations. Our LLM-based methodology requires no custom solver interface, can find a high-performing configuration by solving only a small number of MILPs, and can generate the configuration with simple API calls that run in under a second. Numerical results show our approach is competitive with existing configuration approaches on a suite of classic combinatorial optimization problems and real-world datasets with only a fraction of the training data and computation time.
