BioELX is a retrieve‑rerank framework for cross‑lingual biomedical entity linking that tackles two key problems: the English‑biased UMLS alias training data and the degradation caused by naïvely adding context. It fine‑tunes SapBERT_multi with Wikidata‑derived cross‑lingual alias supervision to create shared concept neighborhoods, and then reranks candidates using pretrained LLMs with mention‑anchored prompting to focus on the target mention. Experiments demonstrate state‑of‑the‑art performance on four benchmarks, improving Recall@1 by 4.8–18.2 percentage points without task‑specific annotations.

Granuscore is a reference‑free metric that measures the granularity of text by exploiting the structure of a hierarchical embedding space. It successfully reproduces known hierarchical orderings on the Granola‑EQ dataset, distinguishes granularity across different discourse contexts, and explains sentence‑specificity variations beyond sentence length. The authors also apply Granuscore to four question‑answering benchmarks, revealing systematic differences in granularity among questions, gold answers, and model outputs, thereby offering a new lens for assessing QA dataset difficulty.

The paper introduces the Generative Embedding Benchmark (GEB), which evaluates how much content from an embedding can be recovered by a decoder that only has access to the frozen embedding and a question, without the original image or intermediate features. GEB uses a curated visual‑question‑answering dataset with 1,800 development and 900 test items covering natural images, scene text, and visual documents. Experiments on seven public embedding models show that visual‑only scores range from 28.25 to 33.21, while joint image‑question encoding boosts scores up to 65.56, revealing that generative readout uncovers information bottlenecks not captured by traditional separability‑based benchmarks.
