• Abstract: Event Extraction (EE) involves automatically identifying and extracting structured information about events from unstructured text, including triggers, event types, and arguments. Traditional discriminative models demonstrate high precision but often exhibit limited recall, particularly for nuanced or infrequent events. Conversely, generative approaches leveraging Large Language Models (LLMs) provide higher semantic flexibility and recall but suffer from hallucinations and inconsistent predictions. To address these challenges, we propose Agreement-based Reflective Inference System (ARIS), a hybrid approach combining a Self Mixture of Agents with a discriminative sequence tagger. ARIS explicitly leverages structured model consensus, confidence-based filtering, and an LLM reflective inference module to reliably resolve ambiguities and enhance overall event prediction quality. We further investigate decomposed instruction fine-tuning for enhanced LLM event extraction understanding. Experiments demonstrate our approach outperforms existing state-of-the-art event extraction methods across three benchmark datasets.

  Sequential recommendation (SR) aims to predict items that users may be interested in based on their historical behavior. We revisit SR from a novel information-theoretic perspective and find that sequential modeling methods fail to adequately capture randomness and unpredictability of user behavior. Inspired by fuzzy information processing theory, this paper introduces the fuzzy sets of interaction sequences to overcome the limitations and better capture the evolution of users' real interests.
