CONSISTRE: A Unified Consistency-Aware Framework for Document-Level Relation Extraction with Large Language Models

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.

Reconsidering Overthinking: Penalizing Internal and External Redundancy in CoT Reasoning

arXiv:2508. 02178v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Large reasoning models (LRMs) often exhibit overthinking, producing verbose Chain-of-Thought (CoT) traces that increase inference cost and obscure the underlying reasoning process.
