Humanitarian reports are long, noisy, and multi-topic, making it difficult to consolidate decision-relevant causal evidence. We present a ReliefWeb study (2000-2024) and a two-stage Large Language Model (LLM) pipeline that extracts structured intervention-outcome records with direction and strength attributes.
arXiv:2606. 05724v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Long-form narrative QA requires reasoning over evolving story worlds rather than isolated passages: answers may depend on earlier goals, changing character states, social relations, causal triggers, temporal position, and later consequences.

arXiv:2607. 24984v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: In recent years, the number of events in earthquake catalogs has significantly increased due to the utilization of more effective deep learning based detectors and phase pickers but answering open ended questions such as what characterizes this sequence?

ConstructCIE is a manually annotated dataset designed for extracting causal information from OSHA construction accident reports. It employs a hierarchical schema that categorizes accident types, causal factors, sub‑causal factors, and the supporting evidence spans. Experiments with supervised sequence taggers and instruction‑tuned large language models show strong performance on accident‑type prediction and broad causal recovery, yet precise span‑level extraction remains challenging, highlighting the need for better domain grounding and evidence extraction.

arXiv:2606. 13249v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Maritime accident adjudication reports contain critical tribunal findings for root cause analysis (RCA), yet retrieving relevant precedents and drafting consistent reports from decades of records remains labor-intensive.

arXiv:2607. 22592v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Graph-based retrieval-augmented generation (GraphRAG) grounds answers in structured knowledge, but current systems extract entities and relationships exhaustively, producing graphs whose size and construction cost scale with corpus length rather than with the reasoning a query requires.

arXiv:2405. 17838v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Socio-linguistic indicators of affectively-relevant phenomena, such as emotion or sentiment, are often extracted from text to better understand features of human-computer interactions, including on social media.
