Manually designing cloze test consumes enormous time and efforts. The major challenge lies in wrong option (distractor) selection. Having carefully-design distractors improves the effectiveness of learner ability assessment. As a result, the idea of automatically generating cloze distractor is motivated. In this paper, we investigate cloze distractor generation by exploring the employment of pre-trained language models (PLMs) as an alternative for candidate distractor generation. Experiments show that the PLM-enhanced model brings a substantial performance improvement. Our best performing model advances the state-of-the-art result from 14.94 to 34.17 (NDCG@10 score).

With the rapid advancement of generative AI, AI-generated images have become increasingly realistic, raising concerns about creativity, misinformation, and content authenticity. Detecting such images and identifying their source models has become a critical challenge in ensuring the integrity of digital media. This paper tackles the detection of AI-generated images and identifying their source models using CNN and CLIP-ViT classifiers. For the CNN-based classifier, we leverage EfficientNet-B0 as the backbone and feed with RGB channels, frequency features, and reconstruction errors, while for CLIP-ViT, we adopt a pretrained CLIP image encoder to extract image features and SVM to perform classification. Evaluated on the Defactify 4 dataset, our methods demonstrate strong performance in both tasks, with CLIP-ViT showing superior robustness to image perturbations. Compared to baselines like AEROBLADE and OCC-CLIP, our approach achieves competitive results. Notably, our method ranked Top-3 overall in the Defactify 4 competition, highlighting its effectiveness and generalizability. All of our implementations can be found in https://github.com/uuugaga/Defactify_4

Generating sports game reports from structured tables is a complex table-to-text task that demands both precise data interpretation and fluent narrative generation. Traditional model-based approaches require large, annotated datasets, while prompt-based methods using large language models (LLMs) often struggle with hallucination due to weak table comprehension. To overcome these challenges, we propose Tree-of-Text, a tree-structured prompting framework that guides LLMs through a three-stage generation process: (1) Content Planning, where relevant operations and arguments are selected from the input tables; (2) Operation Execution, which breaks down large tables into manageable sub-tables; and (3) Content Generation, where short textual outputs are merged and rewritten into a cohesive report. Experiments show that our method outperforms existing methods on ShuttleSet+, leads in RG and CO metrics on RotoWire-FG, and excels in CS and CO on MLB with roughly 40% of the time and cost of Chain-of-Table. These results demonstrate the effectiveness and efficiency of Tree-of-Text and suggest a promising direction for prompt-based table-to-text generation in the sports domain.

In this paper, we present Pre-CoFactv3, a comprehensive framework comprised of Question Answering and Text Classification components for fact verification. Leveraging In-Context Learning, Fine-tuned Large Language Models (LLMs), and the FakeNet model, we address the challenges of fact verification. Our experiments explore diverse approaches, comparing different Pre-trained LLMs, introducing FakeNet, and implementing various ensemble methods. Notably, our team, Trifecta, secured first place in the AAAI-24 Factify 3.0 Workshop, surpassing the baseline accuracy by 103% and maintaining a 70% lead over the second competitor. This success underscores the efficacy of our approach and its potential contributions to advancing fact verification research.
