Extract Information from Hybrid Long Documents Leveraging LLMs: A Framework and DatasetChongjian Yue, Xinrun Xu, Xiaojun Ma et al.
Large Language Models (LLMs) demonstrate exceptional performance in textual understanding and tabular reasoning tasks. However, their ability to comprehend and analyze hybrid text, containing textual and tabular data, remains unexplored. The hybrid text often appears in the form of hybrid long documents (HLDs), which far exceed the token limit of LLMs. Consequently, we apply an Automated Information Extraction framework (AIE) to enable LLMs to process the HLDs and carry out experiments to analyse four important aspects of information extraction from HLDs. Given the findings: 1) The effective way to select and summarize the useful part of a HLD. 2) An easy table serialization way is enough for LLMs to understand tables. 3) The naive AIE has adaptability in many complex scenarios. 4) The useful prompt engineering to enhance LLMs on HLDs. To address the issue of dataset scarcity in HLDs and support future work, we also propose the Financial Reports Numerical Extraction (FINE) dataset. The dataset and code are publicly available in the attachments.

Yet Even Less Is Even Better For Agentic, Reasoning, and Coding LLMsYang Ye, Jingyuan Tan, Tianyue Jiang et al.
Training effective software engineering agents requires large volumes of task-specific trajectories, incurring substantial data construction costs. Inspired by the "Less-Is-More" hypothesis in mathematical reasoning, we investigate its extension to agentic scenarios and propose an end-to-end training framework that achieves superior agentic capabilities with fewer but higher-quality training trajectories. This is achieved via STITCH (Sliding-memory Trajectory Inference and Task Chunking Heuristic), a coarse-to-fine mechanism that filters low-value noise and retains decision-critical tokens to maximize training signal quality. We conduct experiments across multiple agent frameworks (e.g., mini-SWE-agent, MSWE-agent), model scales (30B to 355B), and multilingual settings (Python, Java, and ArkTS). On SWE-bench Verified, models trained with STITCH achieve up to 63.16% relative improvement over base models. On Multi-SWE-bench (Java), MiniMax-M2.5-STITCH achieves 43.75% with our CodeArts Agent scaffold (+16.67%). On HarmonyOS (ArkTS), GLM-4.7-STITCH improves the compilation pass rate to 61.31% (+43.34%) with less than 1K training trajectories. Our results confirm that the "Less-Is-More" paradigm generalizes effectively to complex agentic tasks across diverse languages and model scales.

Enabling and Analyzing How to Efficiently Extract Information from Hybrid Long Documents with LLMsChongjian Yue, Xinrun Xu, Xiaojun Ma et al.
Large Language Models (LLMs) demonstrate exceptional performance in textual understanding and tabular reasoning tasks. However, their ability to comprehend and analyze hybrid text, containing textual and tabular data, remains underexplored. In this research, we specialize in harnessing the potential of LLMs to comprehend critical information from financial reports, which are hybrid long-documents. We propose an Automated Financial Information Extraction (AFIE) framework that enhances LLMs' ability to comprehend and extract information from financial reports. To evaluate AFIE, we develop a Financial Reports Numerical Extraction (FINE) dataset and conduct an extensive experimental analysis. Our framework is effectively validated on GPT-3.5 and GPT-4, yielding average accuracy increases of 53.94% and 33.77%, respectively, compared to a naive method. These results suggest that the AFIE framework offers accuracy for automated numerical extraction from complex, hybrid documents.

HTGN-BTW: Heterogeneous Temporal Graph Network with Bi-Time-Window Training Strategy for Temporal Link PredictionChongjian Yue, Lun Du, Qiang Fu et al.
With the development of temporal networks such as E-commerce networks and social networks, the issue of temporal link prediction has attracted increasing attention in recent years. The Temporal Link Prediction task of WSDM Cup 2022 expects a single model that can work well on two kinds of temporal graphs simultaneously, which have quite different characteristics and data properties, to predict whether a link of a given type will occur between two given nodes within a given time span. Our team, named as nothing here, regards this task as a link prediction task in heterogeneous temporal networks and proposes a generic model, i.e., Heterogeneous Temporal Graph Network (HTGN), to solve such temporal link prediction task with the unfixed time intervals and the diverse link types. That is, HTGN can adapt to the heterogeneity of links and the prediction with unfixed time intervals within an arbitrary given time period. To train the model, we design a Bi-Time-Window training strategy (BTW) which has two kinds of mini-batches from two kinds of time windows. As a result, for the final test, we achieved an AUC of 0.662482 on dataset A, an AUC of 0.906923 on dataset B, and won 2nd place with an Average T-scores of 0.628942.
