When Modalities Remember: Continual Learning for Multimodal Knowledge GraphsLinyu Li, Zhi Jin, Yichi Zhang et al.
Real-world multimodal knowledge graphs (MMKGs) are dynamic, with new entities, relations, and multimodal knowledge emerging over time. Existing continual knowledge graph reasoning (CKGR) methods focus on structural triples and cannot fully exploit multimodal signals from new entities. Existing multimodal knowledge graph reasoning (MMKGR) methods, however, usually assume static graphs and suffer catastrophic forgetting as graphs evolve. To address this gap, we present a systematic study of continual multimodal knowledge graph reasoning (CMMKGR). We construct several continual multimodal knowledge graph benchmarks from existing MMKG datasets and propose MRCKG, a new CMMKGR model. Specifically, MRCKG employs a multimodal-structural collaborative curriculum to schedule progressive learning based on the structural connectivity of new triples to the historical graph and their multimodal compatibility. It also introduces a cross-modal knowledge preservation mechanism to mitigate forgetting through entity representation stability, relational semantic consistency, and modality anchoring. In addition, a multimodal contrastive replay scheme with a two-stage optimization strategy reinforces learned knowledge via multimodal importance sampling and representation alignment. Experiments on multiple datasets show that MRCKG preserves previously learned multimodal knowledge while substantially improving the learning of new knowledge.
TriangleNet: Edge Prior Augmented Network for Semantic Segmentation through Cross-Task ConsistencyDan Zhang, Rui Zheng, Luosang Gadeng et al.
This paper addresses the task of semantic segmentation in computer vision, aiming to achieve precise pixel-wise classification. We investigate the joint training of models for semantic edge detection and semantic segmentation, which has shown promise. However, implicit cross-task consistency learning in multi-task networks is limited. To address this, we propose a novel "decoupled cross-task consistency loss" that explicitly enhances cross-task consistency. Our semantic segmentation network, TriangleNet, achieves a substantial 2.88\% improvement over the Baseline in mean Intersection over Union (mIoU) on the Cityscapes test set. Notably, TriangleNet operates at 77.4\% mIoU/46.2 FPS on Cityscapes, showcasing real-time inference capabilities at full resolution. With multi-scale inference, performance is further enhanced to 77.8\%. Furthermore, TriangleNet consistently outperforms the Baseline on the FloodNet dataset, demonstrating its robust generalization capabilities. The proposed method underscores the significance of multi-task learning and explicit cross-task consistency enhancement for advancing semantic segmentation and highlights the potential of multitasking in real-time semantic segmentation.
TiSpell: A Semi-Masked Methodology for Tibetan Spelling Correction covering Multi-Level Error with Data AugmentationYutong Liu, Feng Xiao, Ziyue Zhang et al.
Multi-level Tibetan spelling correction addresses errors at both the character and syllable levels within a unified model. Existing methods focus mainly on single-level correction and lack effective integration of both levels. Moreover, there are no open-source datasets or augmentation methods tailored for this task in Tibetan. To tackle this, we propose a data augmentation approach using unlabeled text to generate multi-level corruptions, and introduce TiSpell, a semi-masked model capable of correcting both character- and syllable-level errors. Although syllable-level correction is more challenging due to its reliance on global context, our semi-masked strategy simplifies this process. We synthesize nine types of corruptions on clean sentences to create a robust training set. Experiments on both simulated and real-world data demonstrate that TiSpell, trained on our dataset, outperforms baseline models and matches the performance of state-of-the-art approaches, confirming its effectiveness.
TIBSTC-CoT: A Multi-Domain Instruction Dataset for Chain-of-Thought Reasoning in Language ModelsFan Gao, Cheng Huang, Nyima Tashi et al.
To address the severe data scarcity in Tibetan, a low-resource language spoken by over six million people, we introduce TIBSTC-CoT, the large-scale, multi-domain Tibetan dataset automatically constructed via chain-of-thought prompting with large language models (LLMs). TIBSTC-CoT establishes a scalable and reproducible framework for dataset creation in low-resource settings, covering diverse domains and reasoning patterns essential for language understanding and generation. Building on this dataset, we develop the Sunshine-thinking LLM family, a series of Tibetan-centric LLMs equipped with chain-of-thought capabilities. Trained entirely on TIBSTC-CoT, Sunshine-thinking has demonstrated strong reasoning and generation performance, comparable to state-of-the-art (SOTA) multilingual LLMs. Our work marks a significant step toward inclusive AI by enabling high-quality Tibetan language processing through both resource creation and model innovation.

Tibetan Language and AI: A Comprehensive Survey of Resources, Methods and ChallengesCheng Huang, Nyima Tashi, Fan Gao et al.
Tibetan, one of the major low-resource languages in Asia, presents unique linguistic and sociocultural characteristics that pose both challenges and opportunities for AI research. Despite increasing interest in developing AI systems for underrepresented languages, Tibetan has received limited attention due to a lack of accessible data resources, standardized benchmarks, and dedicated tools. This paper provides a comprehensive survey of the current state of Tibetan AI in the AI domain, covering textual and speech data resources, NLP tasks, machine translation, speech recognition, and recent developments in LLMs. We systematically categorize existing datasets and tools, evaluate methods used across different tasks, and compare performance where possible. We also identify persistent bottlenecks such as data sparsity, orthographic variation, and the lack of unified evaluation metrics. Additionally, we discuss the potential of cross-lingual transfer, multi-modal learning, and community-driven resource creation. This survey aims to serve as a foundational reference for future work on Tibetan AI research and encourages collaborative efforts to build an inclusive and sustainable AI ecosystem for low-resource languages.

RetrieveAll: A Multilingual Named Entity Recognition Framework with Large Language ModelsJin Zhang, Fan Gao, Linyu Li et al.
The rise of large language models has led to significant performance breakthroughs in named entity recognition (NER) for high-resource languages, yet there remains substantial room for improvement in low- and medium-resource languages. Existing multilingual NER methods face severe language interference during the multi-language adaptation process, manifested in feature conflicts between different languages and the competitive suppression of low-resource language features by high-resource languages. Although training a dedicated model for each language can mitigate such interference, it lacks scalability and incurs excessive computational costs in real-world applications. To address this issue, we propose RetrieveAll, a universal multilingual NER framework based on dynamic LoRA. The framework decouples task-specific features across languages and demonstrates efficient dynamic adaptability. Furthermore, we introduce a cross-granularity knowledge augmented method that fully exploits the intrinsic potential of the data without relying on external resources. By leveraging a hierarchical prompting mechanism to guide knowledge injection, this approach advances the paradigm from "prompt-guided inference" to "prompt-driven learning." Experimental results show that RetrieveAll outperforms existing baselines; on the PAN-X dataset, it achieves an average F1 improvement of 12.1 percent.
