FinEvolveKG: Controlled and Attributable Prompt Evolution for Financial Knowledge Graph Construction

arXiv:2611.08643v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Financial institutions construct knowledge graphs (KGs) from shared SEC 10-Ks to serve risk analysis, portfolio management, and investment research, whose analytical needs differ. Extraction must adapt without fragmenting shared grounding, typing, and temporal rules. Hand-authored persona prompts and fine-tuning add cost. Weight-free prompt optimization offers an alternative, but unconstrained evolution of a monolithic prompt can rewrite shared rules alongside persona guidance, obscuring changes and complicating review. We introduce FinEvolveKG, a KG-construction harness separating reusable general and persona-policy blocks and mechanically confining GEPA, a reflective prompt optimizer, to the designated block. During persona adaptation, the approved general block remains byte-stable and every optimizer edit is localized to a separately versioned persona policy. A dual objective balances generic temporal-KG quality with persona-relevant facts, motifs, and multi-hop connectivity. We evaluate five mutation scopes on ticker-disjoint 10-K splits, with three seeds for the persona-conditioned arms (v3-v5) across three personas. On the three-seed mean, the complete two-stage block-constrained workflow (v4) improves over the frozen prompt baseline (v1) by 19.4-30.9% and over the tested unconstrained full-prompt workflow (v5) by 2.2-6.4%, leading v5 on both objective components and winning all nine paired-seed comparisons with the lowest seed variance in every persona. Without further optimization, v4 also exceeds v5 across all evaluated out-of-distribution (OOD) shifts. An SME audit supports using the generated triplets as ground truth; a blinded two-SME audit favors v4 over v5 in 70.1% of contrast-enriched judgments. These results show that mechanically attributable evolution can coexist with strong empirical performance, without attributing the gains causally to the boundary.

TaxoSAE: Rethinking Sparse Autoencoders through Taxonomic Logic

arXiv:2610.31894v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Recent Sparse Autoencoders (SAEs) decompose the representations of large language models (LLMs) into interpretable features, enabling precise readout and control of encoded knowledge. However, existing SAEs treat each feature as a standalone unit, whereas real-world knowledge is often taxonomically organized. As a result, readout carries no guarantee of taxonomic consistency, and control lacks the granularity to specify the scope of an edit. We propose TaxoSAE, which explicitly encodes taxonomical information, built on is-a (hypernym-hyponym) relations, into the SAE feature space. TaxoSAE mirrors a taxonomy with a stack of SAEs, one per taxonomy level, and introduces a taxonomic alignment loss that trains each concept to be active whenever on

Qwen1.5-32B: Fitting the Capstone of the Qwen1.5 Language Model Series

GITHUB HUGGING FACE MODELSCOPE DEMO DISCORD Introduction The open-source community has long sought a model that strikes an ideal balance between performance, efficiency, and memory footprint. Despite the emergence of cutting-edge models like Qwen1.5-72B and DBRX, the models have faced persistent challenges such as large memory consumption, slow inference speed, and substantial finetuning costs. A growing consensus within the field now points to a model with approximately 30 billion parameters as the optimal “sweet spot” for achieving both strong performance and manageable resource requirements.

OFA: Towards Building a One-For-All Model

2022 is a year of generalist models! With the bloom of multimodal pretraining, especially the unified model, we have witnessed the opportunity to building a generalist model that is capable of processing tasks of different modalities or multi-modalities! Thus, we propose OFA1, namely One-For-All, a unified multimodal pretrained model that unifies understanding and generation tasks concerning modalities into a single framework, and we pretrain OFA with the instruction-based multitask-pretraining that endows it with multiple capabilities.
