Graph-to-Text Generation with Bidirectional Dual Cross-Attention and Concatenation
Published on 2025-03-11 by Elias Lemuye Jimale, Wenyu Chen, Mugahed A. Al-antari, Yeong Hyeon Gu, Victor Kwaku Agbesi, Wasif Feroze, Feidu Akmel, Juhar Mohammed Assefa, Ali Shahzad @MDPI
Abstract: Graph-to-text generation (G2T) involves converting structured graph data into natural language text, a task made challenging by the need for encoders to capture the entities and their relationships within the graph effectively. While transformer-based encoders have advanced natural language processing, their reliance on linearized data often obscures the complex interrelationships in graph structures, leading to structural loss. Conversely, graph attention networks excel at capturing graph struc[...]
Our summary: Proposal of a novel mechanism for integrating transformer-based and graph attention encoders to improve graph-to-text generation tasks, achieving higher BLEU and METEOR scores on benchmark datasets, showcasing potential for future research.

The Rise of Reasoning Large Language Models for Consumer Complaint Detection and Classification
Published on 2025-03-07 by Konstantinos I. Roumeliotis, Nikolaos D. Tselikas, Dimitrios K. Nasiopoulos @MDPI
Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated remarkable capabilities in various natural language processing (NLP) tasks, but their effectiveness in real-world consumer complaint classification without fine-tuning remains uncertain. Zero-shot classification offers a promising solution by enabling models to categorize consumer complaints without prior exposure to labeled training data, making it valuable for handling emerging issues and dynamic complaint categories in finance. However, this task[...]
Our summary: The study evaluates the performance of leading large language models and reasoning models for zero-shot classification of consumer complaints in finance, highlighting their strengths and limitations. Integration of reasoning models into classification workflows can enhance complaint resolution automation and improve customer service efficiency.

A Contextual and Transformer-Based Approach for Improved Detection
Published on 2025-03-06 by Parul Dubey, Pushkar Dubey, Pitshou N. Bokoro @MDPI
Abstract: Sarcasm detection is a crucial task in natural language processing (NLP), particularly in sentiment analysis and opinion mining, where sarcasm can distort sentiment interpretation. Accurately identifying sarcasm remains challenging due to its context-dependent nature and linguistic complexity across informal text sources like social media and conversational dialogues. This study utilizes three benchmark datasets, namely, News Headlines, Mustard, and Reddit (SARC), which contain diverse sarcastic[...]
Our summary: Utilizing transformer-based models and contextual summarization to enhance sarcasm detection accuracy and efficiency. Leveraging benchmark datasets to address the challenges of identifying sarcasm in informal text sources. Performance evaluation based on accuracy, F1 score, and Jaccard coefficient showcasing the effectiveness of the proposed methodology.

Voice-based conversation artificial intelligence for point-of-sale systems
Patent published on the 2025-03-06 in WO under Ref WO2025049246 by PREDICTSPRING INC [US] (Mangtani Nitin [us], Garimella Sandilya [us], Chadalawada Viswanth [us], Sahu Madhav [us])
Abstract: A conversational artificial intelligence (Al) point-of-sale (POS) system uses generative Al to help a store associate complete tasks in a retail environment. This POS system combines four technologies: speech recognition; natural language processing; acting in response to verbal command in the context of a retail store and a POS device; and providing bi-directional and fully conversational responses. The Al, which runs in an app on a smartphone, tablet, or other mobile device, uses a machine lea[...]
Our summary: Conversational AI POS system uses generative AI to assist store associates in retail tasks, combining speech recognition, natural language processing, and bi-directional responses. The AI, running on mobile devices, utilizes ML models trained on support tickets and product documentation to understand dependencies and provide appropriate responses.

A Radical-Based Token Representation Method for Enhancing Chinese Pre-Trained Language Models
Published on 2025-03-05 by Honglun Qin, Meiwen Li, Lin Wang, Youming Ge, Junlong Zhu, Ruijuan Zheng @MDPI
Abstract: In the domain of natural language processing (NLP), a primary challenge pertains to the process of Chinese tokenization, which remains challenging due to the lack of explicit word boundaries in written Chinese. The existing tokenization methods often treat each Chinese character as an indivisible unit, neglecting the finer semantic features embedded in the characters, such as radicals. To tackle this issue, we propose a novel token representation method that integrates radical-based features int[...]
Our summary: Radical-based token representation method improves Chinese language model performance by incorporating radical features, enhancing accuracy on multiple NLP tasks.
