Large Language Models (LLMs) face information overload when handling long contexts, particularly in Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) where extensive supporting documents introduce redundant content that interferes with reasoning. Context engineering has emerged to address these challenges, yet existing methods rely on lexical or token-level features that fragment semantic units and fail to capture conceptually essential content. We propose an unsupervised context compression framework leveraging Abstract Meaning Representation (AMR) to preserve semantically essential information while filtering irrelevant text. By quantifying node-level entropy within AMR graphs, our method estimates the conceptual importance of each node, enabling retention of core semantics. Specifically, we construct AMR graphs from retrieved contexts, compute the conceptual entropy of each node, and identify statistically significant concepts to form a condensed, semantically focused context. Experiments on the PopQA and EntityQuestions datasets demonstrate that our method outperforms vanilla RAG and existing baselines, achieving superior accuracy while substantially reducing context length. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first work introducing AMR-based conceptual entropy for context compression, demonstrating the potential of structured linguistic representations in context engineering.

As an important fine-grained sentiment analysis task, aspect sentiment triplet extraction (ASTE) aims to identify three elements, i.e., aspect, opinion and sentiment polarity as a triplet. Advanced ASTE researches have mostly explored triplet-wise ability to achieve superior improvement. However, existing models with strong in-house performances may struggle to generalize to the challenging cases with the diverse expression of inter-triplet and intra-triplet elements. To this end, we propose a **M**odel-**A**gnostic **T**raining **O**ptimization (**MATO**) to improve ASTE model inference consistent with expected results facing triplet element diversity. Specifically, we design inter-triplet and intra-triplet metamorphic relations (MRs), and calculate the violation rate (VR) on each element of one triplet through metamorphic testing (MT), indicating the capacity to accommodate the diverse elements. Moreover, we propose an element-wise diversity-aware loss based on the VRs of aspect, opinion and sentiment, which can be jointly trained with existed ASTE models via uncertainty weighing. Conducted on four benchmark datasets and seven ASTE models, experimental results show that our MATO can enhance their diversity capacity, decreasing the average element-wise VRs by 3.28% to 15.36%. Meanwhile, our MATO is comparable to or better than those in terms of F1-score.
