• Abstract summary: We employ a tool-interacting divide-and-conquer strategy to answer complex multi-hop questions. To increase the reasoning ability of LLMs, we prompt chatGPT to generate a tool-interacting divide-and-conquer dataset. To assess the effectiveness of this approach, we conduct an evaluation on two recently introduced complex question-answering datasets.

• Abstract: We employ a tool-interacting divide-and-conquer strategy enabling large language models (LLMs) to answer complex multimodal multi-hop questions. In particular, we harness the power of large language models to divide a given multimodal multi-hop question into unimodal single-hop sub-questions to be answered by the appropriate tool from a predefined set of tools. After all corresponding tools provide the LLM with their answers, the LLM generates the next relevant unimodal single-hop question. To increase the reasoning ability of LLMs, we prompt chatGPT to generate a tool-interacting divide-and-conquer dataset. This dataset is then used to efficiently finetune the corresponding LLM. To assess the effectiveness of this approach, we conduct an evaluation on two recently introduced complex question-answering datasets. The experimental analysis demonstrate substantial improvements over existing state-of-the-art solutions, indicating the efficacy and generality of our strategy

  We introduce Query-dependent Prompt Optimization (QPO), which iteratively fine-tune a small pretrained language model to generate optimal prompts tailored to the input queries. We derive insights from offline prompting demonstration data, which already exists in large quantities as a by-product of benchmarking diverse prompts on open-sourced tasks. Experiments on various LLM scales and diverse NLP and math tasks demonstrate the efficacy and cost-efficiency of our method in both zero-shot and few-shot scenarios.

• UniMEL: A Unified Framework for Multimodal Entity Linking with Large Language Models [0.42832989850721054]
  Multimodal Entities Linking (MEL) is a crucial task that aims at linking ambiguous mentions within multimodal contexts to referent entities in a multimodal knowledge base, such as Wikipedia. Existing methods overcomplicate the MEL task and overlook the visual semantic information, which makes them costly and hard to scale. We propose UniMEL, a unified framework which establishes a new paradigm to process multimodal entity linking tasks using Large Language Models.

  We introduce Bundle-MLLM, a novel framework that fine-tunes large language models (LLMs) through a hybrid item tokenization approach. Specifically, we integrate textual, media, and relational data into a unified tokenization, introducing a soft separation token to distinguish between textual and non-textual tokens. We propose a progressive optimization strategy that fine-tunes LLMs for disentangled objectives: 1) learning bundle patterns and 2) enhancing multimodal semantic understanding specific to product bundling.
