GoLLIE's approach can be applied beyond Information Extraction tasks by leveraging annotation guidelines to improve model generalization in various natural language processing (NLP) applications. For instance, in sentiment analysis, the guidelines could provide specific criteria for identifying sentiments expressed in text, leading to more accurate sentiment classification. In machine translation, guidelines could help ensure that translations are faithful to the original text by providing detailed instructions on handling nuances and idiomatic expressions. Additionally, in question answering systems, guidelines could assist in formulating precise prompts for extracting relevant information from passages.
