• Abstract: We introduce _transparent documents_, interactive web-based scholarly articles which allow readers to explore the relationship to the underlying data by hovering over fragments of text, and present an LLM-based tool for authoring transparent documents, building on recent developments in data provenance for general-purpose programming languages. As a target platform, our implementation uses Fluid, an open source programming language with a provenance-tracking runtime. Our agent-based tool supports a human author during the creation of transparent documents, identifying fragments of text which can be computed from data, such as numerical values selected from records or computed by aggregations like sum and mean, comparatives and superlatives like _better than_ and _largest_, trend-adjectives like _growing_, and similar quantitative or semi-quantitative phrases, and then attempts to synthesise a suitable Fluid query over the data which generates the target string. The resulting expression is inserted into the article's web page, turning the static text fragment into an interactable data-driven element able to reveal the data that underwrites the natural language claim. We evaluate our approach on a subset of SciGen, an open source dataset consisting of tables from scientific articles and their corresponding descriptions, which we extend with hand-generated counterfactual test cases to evaluate how well machine-generated expressions generalise. Our results show that gpt4o is often able to synthesise compound expressions extensionally compatible with our gold solutions.

Our approach achieves a $3.25times$ to $6.26times$ increase in Ragas score, a comprehensive metric that provides a holistic view of a RAG system's ability to produce accurate, relevant, and contextually appropriate responses.

  Text documents with numerical values involved are widely used in various applications such as scientific research, economy, public health and journalism. To fill this research gap, this work aims to automatically generate charts to accurately convey the underlying data and ideas to readers. We propose ChartifyText, a novel fully-automated approach that leverages Large Language Models (LLMs) to convert complex data-involved texts to expressive charts.

  Language models (LMs) have revolutionized the way we interact with information, but they often generate nonfactual text. Previous methods use external knowledge as references for text generation to enhance factuality but often struggle with the knowledge mix-up of irrelevant references. We present DKGen, which divide the text generation process into an iterative process.
