Specialized Decision Models vs. General-Purpose LLMs: Benchmarking Jev Across Knowledge, Reasoning, and Multilingual Tasks

Jev is a "System One" model that returns a choice among given options instead of generating text. We study how such a specialized decision model compares with general-purpose large language models (LLMs). We evaluate Jev on 13 multiple-choice benchmarks covering knowledge, reasoning, and multilingual understanding, and …

Enhancing Biomedical Named Entity Recognition via Multiple Programming Languages Instruction Tuning and Ensemble Method

Instruction tuning has become a common paradigm for applying large language models (LLMs) to biomedical named entity recognition (BioNER). However, existing instruction-tuning approaches still face two key challenges. First, conventional natural-language instructions typically serialize BioNER annotations as flat textu …
