New Semantic Contract USP Standardizes Information Extraction Tasks

Researchers have introduced USP, a novel semantic contract designed to standardize information extraction and intent-slot parsing across various datasets. This contract provides a unified interface for tasks like named-entity recognition and relation extraction, along with five diagnostic views to assess different aspects of system performance. A fine-tuned Xing4.0-29B-Intent model demonstrated superior performance, achieving a 57.70 task-balanced Field-Value Micro-F1 score and outperforming other models significantly, particularly in complete-instance recovery.

    Xing USP: A Cross-Family Semantic Contract for Information Extraction and Intent-Slot Parsing

    arXiv:2610.34343v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Structured semantic parsing is typically judged by whether the correct category is assigned, which leaves value recovery and instance-level associations unexamined: a system may recognize an event yet bind an argument to the wrong…
