LentEx is a new framework for latent entity extraction that uses synthetic data generation and instruction fine‑tuning to train smaller, efficient large language models. By creating diverse, contextually rich synthetic examples through a template‑based approach, LentEx overcomes the lack of labeled datasets and achieves strong performance, surpassing state‑of‑the‑art models on the MTEB Clustering Benchmark. The method also generalizes well to unseen domains, making it useful for tasks such as retrieval‑augmented generation, customer persona analysis, and knowledge graph enrichment.

Text-based person retrieval faces a critical but under-explored challenge: the inherent uncertainty of query granularity in real-world scenarios. This paper introduces a new paradigm, Text-based Person Retrieval with Any Granularity, and provides a systematic solution.

BELXTR is a new biomedical entity linking model that uses a multi‑vector (late interaction) architecture to preserve token‑level matching information, unlike traditional embedding‑based approaches that compress mentions into a single vector. By extending the XTR model with a task‑specific training objective and active query expansion, BELXTR achieves state‑of‑the‑art performance on half of ten evaluated corpora, with an average 5‑percentage‑point gain in recall@1. The model shows especially strong results on cross‑species gene disambiguation, outperforming an LLM‑powered retrieve‑and‑rerank pipeline and approaching a specialized rule‑based system.

The paper introduces a Nepali Question‑Answer dataset focused on passport‑related FAQs to support information retrieval in a low‑resource language. The authors fine‑tune transformer‑based embedding models for semantic similarity and compare them against the BM25 baseline. Their experiments show that fine‑tuned SBERT models outperform BM25, while multilingual E5 embeddings achieve the best overall retrieval performance.

The paper introduces Multi-Negative Direct Preference Optimisation (MDPO), a pairwise objective that compares the correct entity with all valid rejected candidates for each mention, extending the single-negative approach used in prior work. MDPO retains the Bradley‑Terry formulation of Direct Preference Optimisation while leveraging the full candidate set through masked, length‑normalised sequence scores. Experiments on French, German, English, Swedish, and Finnish historical newspaper datasets (hipe‑2020 and newseye) show that MDPO outperforms both supervised fine‑tuning and single‑negative DPO, especially for NIL mentions, semantic ambiguity, OCR noise, and historically challenging names, and highlight candidate retrieval as a key bottleneck.
