Data fusion, also known as truth discovery, is a data integration problem that aims to determine the correct value or set of values for each attribute of an object when presented with potentially conflicting values from multiple sources. Data fusion tasks belong to two main categories: single-truth scenarios, where each attribute has only one correct value, and multi-truth scenarios, where multiple values can be valid simultaneously. This paper investigates the use of Large Language Models (LLMs) in data fusion tasks for tabular data. Various prompting strategies, encompassing both single-truth and multi-truth scenarios, are investigated empirically. Domain-dependent, domain-independent, zero-shot and one-shot prompts are evaluated on three different benchmark datasets. Experimental results demonstrate that LLM-based approaches outperform traditional unsupervised truth discovery methods, such as DART and LTM, across all datasets. The codebase of this study has been made publicly available on GitHub.
Multimodal chain-of-thought (CoT) reasoning integrates visual and textual cues through step-by-step inference. In small models with limited token budgets, modality-interaction fusion often suppresses tiny cross-modal differences. In particular, multimodal CoT often struggles when…
We show how large-deviation statistics allows one to obtain reliable estimates of the multiplicity of stable fixed-points in a model of neural ordinary differential equations previously employed in computational tasks. The result is obtained by developing a suitable perturbative…
To effectively integrate AI into high-stakes, critical environments such as healthcare, autonomous driving, and aviation--and to advance toward higher levels of automation and seamless human-AI collaboration--building trust in AI-driven solutions is essential. Trust, in turn, is…
Foreign language anxiety (FLA) can be a major barrier to second language acquisition (SLA), especially in conversational contexts. With the proliferation of large language models (LLMs) throughout all areas of life, recent work suggests that interacting with LLM agents can be ins…
MEMEs are widely used on the internet and often carry strong elements of sarcasm or irony. Understanding their hidden meanings typically requires a joint interpretation of text and vision. Existing methods focus on the dual-stream vision-language model to extract the visual and t…
Geometry Foundation Models (GFMs) have substantially advanced monocular 3D reconstruction, yet extending this capability to 4D dynamic understanding remains a fundamental challenge. Most existing motion perception methods (e.g., sparse tracking, dense point-wise flow) treat motio…
