Classical and neural NLP: translation, question answering, tokenization and the evaluation of language understanding.
Despite remarkable progress in machine translation (MT), non-AI communities have raised growing concerns about MT systems, suggesting a noticeable gap between technical advancement and the needs of real-world users. For instance, while NLP researchers focus on benchmark performance, end users care about ethical concerns, trust, reliability, costs, and more.
Writing Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) is a high-labor, knowledge-intensive document burden; English-language research has demonstrated that generative AI can significantly reduce drafting time, yet automated IEP generation in Traditional Chinese remains virtually unexplored due to domain data scarcity, strict privacy regulations, and the absence of local evaluation benchmarks. We propose a low-resource fine-tuning pipeline centered on Corpus-Grounded Feature Diffusion (CGFD): (1) 25 dual-expert high-score seed transcripts are selected via a tau threshold with flag-aware score caps; (2) a FeatureProfile (sentence length, structure, quantification templates) is extracted from seeds and injected into LLM prompts alongside Verbalized-Sampling-style diversity control to drive diffusion; (3) 15 expert gold seeds are used as diffusion anchors, targeting 585 samples; 567 valid diffusion samples are obtained, yielding a 582-sample training set used to fine-tune Breeze-7B with QLoRA; (4) schema-constrained inference via Grammar-Constrained Decoding (GCD) enforces a hierarchical SMART Goal Ladder schema at inference time.
Effective crisis response requires spatially grounded communication that bridges linguistic guidance of civilians with the physical environment, accounting for structural bottlenecks, evolving threats, and agent-specific contexts. Yet, current NLP research in crisis communication remains mainly limited to static, text-only classification settings, overlooking the critical communicative role of AI operators in dynamic, embodied scenarios.
Medical agent systems are increasingly expected to support interactive clinical decision making rather than only static question answering. In such settings, effective agents must reuse prior experience across evolving cases, yet existing memory mechanisms often retain raw historical traces that are redundant, noisy, and difficult to govern.
Egocentric vision offers a first-person view of human perception and decision making, yet its potential for traffic-safety prediction remains underexplored. In this work, we study the decoding of pedestrian crossing intentions from short egocentric video clips.
