MetaJoin is a label‑free framework that adaptively selects join methods for heterogeneous tables by first choosing an initial specialist based on input evidence and then validating or repairing the result using specialist‑specific output evidence. It introduces MNN Join, a transformation specialist that finds string transformations by maximizing mutual‑nearest‑neighbor coverage and uses reciprocal validation. Evaluated on 670 datasets, MetaJoin achieves a macro row‑F1 of 0.817, surpassing a benchmark oracle and outperforming other label‑free policies by over 0.13, while MNN Join dominates all transformation baselines on 609 transformation‑heavy datasets.

The paper introduces a new scorer for generative answer engines that ranks candidate pages by the likelihood of being cited. It evaluates pretrained rerankers, a hosted typed decision model (Jev), eight open decision models, and a distilled 4B student on GEO‑Bench queries answered by ten engines. The distilled student, fine‑tuned with low‑rank adapters, achieves comparable performance to larger models and the authors release the model, benchmark, predictions, and code.

ORSMT is a tool that uses Satisfiability Modulo Theories to verify and repair artifacts produced by large language models when automating optimization modeling from natural language. It provides a typed semantic interface, exact SMT relation queries, and mechanisms to align decisions, project auxiliary variables, and reconstruct artifacts, thereby improving model-code match rates across thousands of problems. The system demonstrates significant gains in correctness and matching rates compared to existing methods such as ReLoop and Opt‑Verifier.

The paper presents a cost‑effective approach for industrial explainable‑recommendation systems by decoupling explanation generation from selection. Candidate explanations are pre‑generated using six prompt styles and two commodity LLMs, then a lightweight CPU‑resident selector (e.g., LambdaRank) chooses the best one at request time, achieving sub‑100 ms latency without GPUs. Experiments on a 2,958‑pair Google Local subset and a 300‑pair MovieLens‑1M split show that pairwise ranking methods outperform single‑action RL baselines, while KG‑path selectors achieve near‑perfect user satisfaction scores.

OpenSanctions Pairs is the first large‑scale public benchmark for entity matching on sanctions and OSINT data, comprising 755,540 expert‑labeled pairs drawn from over 1 million entities across 293 source datasets and 45 jurisdictions. The dataset spans multiple languages and writing systems, inconsistent structures, and time‑varying provenance, making it far more heterogeneous than prior benchmarks. Baseline experiments show a rule‑based matcher achieving 91.3 % F1, GPT‑4o reaching 99.0 % F1, and a locally deployable open‑source model scoring 98.2 % F1, with complementary failure modes that highlight the need to focus on downstream pipeline components.

The paper presents a cost‑effective approach for industrial explainable‑recommendation systems by decoupling explanation generation from selection. Explanations are pre‑generated using six prompt styles and two commodity LLMs, then a lightweight CPU‑resident selector (e.g., LambdaRank) chooses the best one at request time, achieving sub‑100 ms latency without GPUs. Experiments on a 2,958‑pair Google Local subset and a 300‑pair MovieLens‑1M split show that pairwise ranking outperforms single‑action RL methods, while KG‑path selectors achieve near‑perfect unique‑output rates, and the overall end‑to‑end build cost is around $15 on commodity hardware.
The paper investigates whether the object selected in a grounded language‑model pipeline actually reaches the reader, a failure that can break the handoff between stages. By auditing 600 HybridQA questions across three selector families, the authors find that exact key lookup and title matching recover the selected object in all 1,463 resolvable records, but body‑only BM25 omits it in 26.6% of cases at cutoff five, while hybrid retrieval with reranking omits it only 1.0%. The study also shows that misalignment between selected and retrieved objects can reduce exact match scores by up to 31 points, and introduces the Returned‑Object Profile (ROP) as a tool for reproducible auditing.
