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.

NE-R1: Enhancing Named Entity Recognition Model via Reinforcement Learning

NE‑R1 is a framework that improves Named Entity Recognition by using a retrieval‑on‑demand mechanism and a two‑stage training process that includes instruction tuning and reinforcement learning with chain‑of‑thought. It balances the use of internal model parameters and external knowledge through a multi‑dimensional reward that considers accuracy and retrieval benefit. The approach achieves state‑of‑the‑art results, improving in‑domain F1 by 2.52% and zero‑shot cross‑domain F1 by 1.18%.
