• Abstract summary: We use multimodal large language models (MLLMs) to understand implicit semantic information at the entity-level granularity. We introduce a listwise ranking method LUSAR that maps local scores to global rankings. Our LUSAR demonstrates significant improvements in MLLM's performance on the MESE task, marking the first use of generative MLLM for ESE tasks and extending the applicability of listwise ranking.

• Abstract: The rapid development of multimodal large language models (MLLMs) has brought significant improvements to a wide range of tasks in real-world applications. However, LLMs still exhibit certain limitations in extracting implicit semantic information. In this paper, we apply MLLMs to the Multi-modal Entity Set Expansion (MESE) task, which aims to expand a handful of seed entities with new entities belonging to the same semantic class, and multi-modal information is provided with each entity. We explore the capabilities of MLLMs to understand implicit semantic information at the entity-level granularity through the MESE task, introducing a listwise ranking method LUSAR that maps local scores to global rankings. Our LUSAR demonstrates significant improvements in MLLM's performance on the MESE task, marking the first use of generative MLLM for ESE tasks and extending the applicability of listwise ranking.

  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 study which layers of Multimodal Large Language Models make the most effort to the global image information. In this study, we find that the intermediate layers of models can encode more global semantic information. We find that the topmost layers may excessively focus on local information, leading to a diminished ability to encode global information.
