Do not be greedy, Think Twice: Sampling and Selection for Document-level Information Extraction

arXiv — cs.CLFriday, May 29, 2026 at 4:00:00 AM
  • What Happened

    A new framework called ThinkTwice has been proposed for Document-level Information Extraction (DocIE), which aims to enhance the generation of output templates by using sampling and selection methods instead of traditional greedy decoding. This approach allows large language models (LLMs) to produce multiple candidate templates, from which the most suitable one is selected, improving the overall quality of information extraction.

  • Why It Matters

    The introduction of ThinkTwice is significant as it addresses the limitations of existing methods in DocIE, potentially leading to more accurate and reliable extraction of entities, relations, and events from documents. This advancement could enhance various applications in artificial intelligence, particularly in processing and understanding complex documents more effectively.
