Abstract

In this paper we present a short survey of fuzzy and Semantic approaches to Knowledge Extraction. The goal of such approaches is to define flexible Knowledge Extraction Systems able to deal with the inherent vagueness and uncertainty of the Extraction process. In this survey we address if and how some approaches met their goal.

Scoring With the Engine: Retrieval Exposure, Cross-Engine Divergence, and the Limits of Engine-Agnostic GEO Scores

Recent work asks whether generative-engine visibility can be approximated with deterministic, engine-free page scores. We separate two stages such scores can conflate: exposure to a live engine and citation selection conditional on exposure. In an observational audit of ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, Google, and Perplexity, 15 fixed commercial prompts produced 589 citation observations on 6 June 2026, corresponding to 528 unique URLs and 356 domains. Same-prompt cross-engine URL overlap was extremely small: mean pairwise Jaccard similarity was 0.0079, the median was zero, and 84.9% of engine pairs shared no cited URL. On the ten prompts observed on all four engines, mean exact-URL Jaccard was 0.0072. A matched-size hypergeometric baseline preserving each prompt's four-engine URL universe and each engine's list length predicts 0.1272, so observed overlap was only 5.7% of that baseline; zero URL overlap occurred in 86.7% of comparisons versus 12.3% expected. Top-five exact-URL overlap was zero in all 60 pairwise comparisons. A single engine captured only 11.4%-42.6% of the four-engine URL union, and 96.4% of observed URLs appeared in only one engine. A separate 5-to-6 June same-engine comparison found 67.0% mean URL-set turnover. These results do not invalidate engine-free page scoring; they identify its estimand. A score computed without a live engine can estimate page quality or query-page fit, while end-to-end visibility additionally depends on engine-specific exposure and selection. We therefore argue for reporting page fit, observed exposure, conditional selection, and final visibility as distinct quantities.

RankSteer: Can Pointwise LLM Rankers Be Calibrated at the Representation Level?

Large language models (LLMs) are strong zero-shot pointwise rankers, but lag behind pairwise and listwise methods. Beyond missing comparative signals, we identify a \textit{calibration gap}: ranking-relevant information encoded in hidden states is not fully captured by the scalar output head. We propose RankSteer, a post-hoc activation-steering framework that calibrates ranking via projection-based interventions along multiple directions at inference time: decision, evidence, and, optionally, role. This is achieved without updating model weights or introducing cross-document comparisons. We instantiate RankSteer on two structurally distinct pointwise variants and observe improvements over their respective baselines on most TREC DL and BEIR datasets across three backbones. This suggests that the calibration gap is a general property of pointwise rankers. Our additional geometric analysis shows that steering improves ranking by concentrating each query's document representations along an existing ranking geometry, offering new insight into how LLMs internally represent and calibrate relevance judgments.

IntTravel: A Real-World Dataset and Generative Framework for Integrated Multi-Task Travel Recommendation

Next Point of Interest (POI) recommendation is essential for modern mobility and location-based services. To provide a smooth user experience, models must understand several components of a journey holistically: "when to depart", "how to travel", "where to go", and "what needs arise via the route". However, current research is limited by fragmented datasets that focus merely on next POI recommendation ("where to go"), neglecting the departure time, travel mode, and situational requirements along the journey. Furthermore, the limited scale of these datasets impedes accurate evaluation of performance. To bridge this gap, we introduce IntTravel, the first large-scale public dataset collected from Amap for integrated travel recommendation, including 4.1 billion interactions from 163 million users with 7.3 million POIs. Built upon this dataset, we introduce an end-to-end, decoder-only generative framework for multi-task recommendation. It incorporates information preservation, selection, and factorization to balance task collaboration with specialized differentiation, yielding substantial performance gains. IntTravel has been successfully deployed on Amap serving hundreds of millions of users, leading to a 1.09\% increase in CTR. IntTravel is available at https://github.com/AMAP-ML/DreamX-Rec/.
