Retrieval-Augmented Multi-Prompt Ensemble for Minor-Grain Breeding Information Extraction
On the map: Retrieval-augmented generation → Time series and agricultural RAG
Abstract (arXiv)
This paper presents our system for CCL2026-Eval Task 5: Minor-Grain Breeding Information Extraction (MGBIE), which jointly extracts 12 entity types and 6 relation types from minor-grain breeding literature. We propose RAME (Retrieval-Augmented Multi-Prompt Ensemble), a training-free framework that elicits multiple LLM outputs under controlled diversity and aggregates them by majority voting to obtain high-confidence predictions. RAME combines (i) retrieval-augmented few-shot selection via a hybrid BM25-embedding retriever, (ii) a three-prompt ensemble (Strict, Relaxed, Balanced) spanning the precision to recall spectrum, and (iii) large-scale repeated sampling with majority voting to filter noisy predictions. Built on DeepSeek-V4-Flash, RAME achieves a Total Score of 0.499 (NER 0.730, RE 0.346) on the leaderboard, ranking 1st and surpassing the official Track-A baseline powered by GPT-5.5 (0.448), representing an 11.4% relative improvement. Code is available at https://github.com/king-wang123/CCL26-RAME.
