CONSISTRE is a consistency‑aware framework for document‑level relation extraction that tackles contradictions in large language model predictions. It offers two tracks: an inference‑time track that refines black‑box LLM outputs through constraint‑aware prompting, verification, and self‑reflection, and a training‑time track that distills consistency knowledge into smaller open‑source models via supervised fine‑tuning and reinforcement learning. Experiments on DocRED show both tracks outperform baselines, with the inference‑time track matching competitive F1 scores and the training‑time track narrowing the performance gap to proprietary LLMs while reducing inference cost.

Document-level relation extraction (DocRE) aims to extract relations among multiple entities across extended contexts while maintaining consistency across predicted triples. Although large language models (LLMs) show remarkable reasoning capabilities in information extraction, their predictions are typically generated independently for each candidate triple and may violate fundamental relational constraints such as transitivity, symmetry, and functional uniqueness, leading to contradictory and unreliable outputs.
The paper introduces XKV, a latent protocol that enables efficient communication between heterogeneous language models by translating a sharer's key‑value cache into a receiver's context. XKV overcomes limitations of prior methods by jointly pooling both caches, reconciling differing layer depths, and allowing each receiver position to retrieve its own residual in native KV geometry. Across 45 dataset‑model pairings, XKV outperforms previous protocols and text communication while using fewer parameters and achieving faster translation times.
The paper investigates whether adding Abstract Meaning Representation (AMR) data to large language models (LLMs) improves performance on downstream tasks. By reproducing recent studies and applying a consistent hyperparameter protocol, the authors find that text-only baselines match or surpass AMR-augmented models. A perplexity-based probe shows that AMR does not provide LLMs with additional relational knowledge, suggesting no clear benefit from AMR augmentation.
The paper introduces Declarative Attention (DA), a protocol that lets language models explicitly declare which parts of their context to focus on during generation. By partitioning decoding into full-context, region-specific, and recent-output-only modes, the inference engine can skip large portions of the KV cache, dramatically reducing attended tokens. Experiments on 15 long-context tasks with off-the-shelf models show significant savings (52.0% and 31.1% reductions) with only modest accuracy drops that diminish as model size increases.
