Answers can often be pulled straight from the text, tasks are frequently synthetic, and scoring relies on fragile metrics like F1 or ROUGE. LongBench v2 targets genuine comprehension and reasoning over very long inputs instead.

That data often contains logical slips, invented facts or incomplete answers, and these flaws carry over into the SFT models. Reinforcement learning could correct such behaviour, but there has been no dependable… ## All works 6 works of theirs in our library, the most cited first; 3 with a page here, the others link their original until we summarise them. 1. **[OpenKE: An Open Toolkit for Knowledge Embedding ↗](https://aclanthology.org/D18-2024/) Proceedings of the 2018 Conference on Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing: System Demonstrations · no summary yet**Xu Han et al.*2018 · 387 citations* 2. **[TransferNet: An Effective and Transparent Framework for Multi-hop Question Answering over Relation Graph ↗](https://aclanthology.org/2021.emnlp-main.341/) Proceedings of the 2021 Conference on Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing · no summary yet**Jiaxin Shi et al.*2021 · 162 citations* 3.
