LentEx: Generalizable Latent Entity Extraction via Synthetic Data and Instruction-Tuned LLMs

LentEx is a new framework for latent entity extraction that uses synthetic data generation and instruction fine‑tuning to train smaller, efficient large language models. By creating diverse, contextually rich synthetic examples through a template‑based approach, LentEx overcomes the lack of labeled datasets and achieves strong performance, surpassing state‑of‑the‑art models on the MTEB Clustering Benchmark. The method also generalizes well to unseen domains, making it useful for tasks such as retrieval‑augmented generation, customer persona analysis, and knowledge graph enrichment.

SAGE: Subpopulation-Aware Generative Enhancement for Mitigating Spurious Correlations

SAGE (Subpopulation-Aware Generative Enhancement) is a two-stage generative augmentation framework designed to mitigate spurious correlations in machine learning when group labels are unavailable. It uses cluster-derived sub-labels and class labels to fine‑tune a conditional generative model and text encoder, producing synthetic data that fills underrepresented regions and creates a balanced validation set for last‑layer reweighting. Experiments show SAGE improves worst‑group accuracy to 89.5%, 85.7%, and 79.1% on Waterbirds, CelebA, and MetaShift, outperforming existing group‑label‑free baselines by up to 7.7 percentage points.
