• Abstract: In support of open and reproducible research, there has been a rapidly increasing number of datasets made available for research. As the availability of datasets increases, it becomes more important to have quality metadata for discovering and reusing them. Yet, it is a common issue that datasets often lack quality metadata due to limited resources for data curation. Meanwhile, technologies such as artificial intelligence and large language models (LLMs) are progressing rapidly. Recently, systems based on these technologies, such as ChatGPT, have demonstrated promising capabilities for certain data curation tasks. This paper proposes to leverage LLMs for cost-effective annotation of subject metadata through the LLM-based in-context learning. Our method employs GPT-3.5 with prompts designed for annotating subject metadata, demonstrating promising performance in automatic metadata annotation. However, models based on in-context learning cannot acquire discipline-specific rules, resulting in lower performance in several categories. This limitation arises from the limited contextual information available for subject inference. To the best of our knowledge, we are introducing, for the first time, an in-context learning method that harnesses large language models for automated subject metadata annotation.

  Web-scale visual entity recognition presents significant challenges due to the lack of clean, large-scale training data. We propose a novel methodology to curate such a dataset, leveraging a multimodal large language model (LLM) for label verification, metadata generation, and rationale explanation. Experiments demonstrate that models trained on this automatically curated data achieve state-of-the-art performance on web-scale visual entity recognition tasks.

  Language models (LMs) have made remarkable progress, but still struggle to generalize beyond the training data to rare linguistic patterns. We propose metadata shaping, a method in which readily available metadata, such as entity descriptions and categorical tags, are appended to examples based on information theoretic metrics. With no changes to the LM whatsoever, metadata shaping exceeds the BERT-baseline by up to 5.3 F1 points, and achieves or competes with state-of-the-art results.
