Few-shot named entity recognition (NER) aims at identifying named entities based on only few labeled instances. Most existing prototype-based sequence labeling models tend to memorize entity mentions which would be easily confused by close prototypes. In this paper, we proposed a Prototypical Semantic Decoupling method via joint Contrastive learning (PSDC) for few-shot NER. Specifically, we decouple class-specific prototypes and contextual semantic prototypes by two masking strategies to lead the model to focus on two different semantic information for inference. Besides, we further introduce joint contrastive learning objectives to better integrate two kinds of decoupling information and prevent semantic collapse. Experimental results on two few-shot NER benchmarks demonstrate that PSDC consistently outperforms the previous SOTA methods in terms of overall performance. Extensive analysis further validates the effectiveness and generalization of PSDC.

Real-world video creation often involves a complex reasoning workflow of selecting relevant shots from noisy materials, planning missing shots for narrative completeness, and organizing them into coherent storylines. However, existing benchmarks focus on isolated sub-tasks and lack support for evaluating this full process. To address this gap, we propose Multimodal Context-to-Script Creation (MCSC), a new task that transforms noisy multimodal inputs and user instructions into structured, executable video scripts. We further introduce MCSC-Bench, the first large-scale MCSC dataset, comprising 11K+ well-annotated videos. Each sample includes: (1) redundant multimodal materials and user instructions; (2) a coherent, production-ready script containing material-based shots, newly planned shots (with shooting instructions), and shot-aligned voiceovers. MCSC-Bench supports comprehensive evaluation across material selection, narrative planning, and conditioned script generation, and includes both in-domain and out-of-domain test sets. Experiments show that current multimodal LLMs struggle with structure-aware reasoning under long contexts, highlighting the challenges posed by our benchmark. Models trained on MCSC-Bench achieve SOTA performance, with an 8B model surpassing Gemini-2.5-Pro, and generalize to out-of-domain scenarios. Downstream video generation guided by the generated scripts further validates the practical value of MCSC. Datasets will be public soon.

Accurate and reliable energy time series prediction is of great significance for power generation planning and allocation. At present, deep learning time series prediction has become the mainstream method. However, the multi-scale time dynamics and the irregularity of real data lead to the limitations of the existing methods. Therefore, we propose EnergyPatchTST, which is an extension of the Patch Time Series Transformer specially designed for energy forecasting. The main innovations of our method are as follows: (1) multi-scale feature extraction mechanism to capture patterns with different time resolutions; (2) probability prediction framework to estimate uncertainty through Monte Carlo elimination; (3) integration path of future known variables (such as temperature and wind conditions); And (4) Pre-training and Fine-tuning examples to enhance the performance of limited energy data sets. A series of experiments on common energy data sets show that EnergyPatchTST is superior to other commonly used methods, the prediction error is reduced by 7-12%, and reliable uncertainty estimation is provided, which provides an important reference for time series prediction in the energy field.
