Structured semantic parsing is typically judged by whether the correct category is assigned, which leaves value recovery and instance-level associations unexamined: a system may recognize an event yet...
The paper introduces Clinical Intent Extraction (CIE), a task that transforms fragmented clinical action annotations into complete structured records called Clinical Intent Representation (CIR). CIR decomposes each action into verb, type, coded target, timing, condition, request‑intent (aligned to HL7 FHIR) and modality, adding dimensions absent in prior datasets. By re‑expressing five heterogeneous corpora into CIR, the authors create CIRCA, a benchmark of 10,011 harmonized intents with human‑validated subsets, crosswalks, and a deterministic FHIR R4 mapper, and demonstrate that existing models perform poorly on the full task, highlighting the need for targeted development.

The paper introduces a configurable semantic chunking framework for biomedical information extraction in retrieval‑augmented generation systems. It replaces the fixed‑size chunking stage of BioMedRAG with entity‑preserving windows, trigger‑centered chunking, proposition‑first extraction, tiered trigger prioritization, and hierarchical relation resolution, while keeping the rest of the pipeline unchanged. Experiments on relation extraction benchmarks (GM‑CIHT, DDI, ChemProt) and adverse event classification (ADE) show that the hybrid configuration boosts performance on datasets with explicit relation cues, achieving 82.6% F1 on GM‑CIHT compared to 74.2% with the baseline.

The Writerslogic team participated in the CLEF 2026 SimpleText shared task, tackling both text simplification (Task 1) and complexity spotting (Task 2). For simplification, they built a multi‑candidate pipeline with GPT‑4o‑mini, selecting the best candidate via a reference‑free heuristic, and their Claude Sonnet 4 submission achieved a SARI of 47.43 and BLEU of 14.21, ranking third overall on the Task 1 leaderboard. For complexity spotting, they fine‑tuned a DeBERTa‑v3‑large NLI model on 350 K labeled pairs, achieving a macro F1 of 0.8081 (0.8085 in an ensemble) on binary over‑generation identification and 0.804 accuracy on multi‑class error classification, placing them second among unique teams.

arXiv:2606. 01982v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Schema-constrained information extraction from diverse educational and labor-market corpora remains an open challenge in natural language processing because existing pipelines rely primarily on lexical-surface methods that cannot recover implicit competencies, lack grounding in shared taxonomies, and provide no formal measures of extraction reliability or document-level completeness.

The paper introduces a unified multi-domain and multi-task generative framework for event extraction that incorporates explicit domain conditioning signals and task-specific prompts. This design allows a single model to adapt dynamically to different event schemas without needing full event label sets during inference, supporting both pipeline and end-to-end extraction. Experiments on various benchmarks show competitive performance, strong cross-domain generalization, and practical scalability while maintaining domain-specific precision.

CMNIE is a new benchmark for extracting structured information from Chinese military news, covering event triggers, arguments, named entities, and entity relations under a unified schema. The dataset contains 13,000 manually annotated instances with 7 event types, 10 argument roles, 7 entity types, and 8 relation types. Experiments show that current supervised models, zero‑shot LLMs, and fine‑tuned LLMs struggle with relation extraction and exact span matching, highlighting the challenge of joint structured extraction in this domain.

Event analysis is an essential and fundamental direction of information extraction, involving various event-centric tasks at different granularity of documents. While large language models (LLMs) have preliminarily achieved promising performance in part of these tasks individually, their capability in event analysis still lacks comprehensive understanding due to restricted document granularity, task designs, and data source of existing benchmarks.
