Temporal reasoning remains a critical challenge for large language models (LLMs), particularly when it requires encompassing relational dependencies and numerical constraints. Yet, existing benchmarks largely overlook the joint consideration of these two dimensions and primarily rely on single-task evaluation paradigms, making it difficult to assess whether correct answers reflect grounded reasoning or arise from superficial statistical recall. To address these gaps, we introduce TNR, a benchmark designed to evaluate both Temporal Numerical and Relational reasoning. We propose a bi-directional evaluation framework consisting of forward generation via Question Answering (QA) and backward verification via Fact Verification (FV). By measuring the alignment between QA and FV, we introduce a Consistency Rate to quantify the robustness of reasoning across these two directions. Experiments on a range of LLMs reveal notable discrepancies between QA and FV performance, particularly in numerical and interval-based tasks. Moreover, our bi-directional error analysis demonstrates that these inconsistencies often stem from heuristic shortcuts and statistical co-occurrences rather than grounded logical deduction, flaws that are frequently masked in standard single-task evaluations.

Entity Alignment (EA) aims to find the equivalent entities between two Knowledge Graphs (KGs). Existing methods usually encode the triples of entities as embeddings and learn to align the embeddings, which prevents the direct interaction between the original information of the cross-KG entities. Moreover, they encode the relational triples and attribute triples of an entity in heterogeneous embedding spaces, which prevents them from helping each other. In this paper, we transform both triples into unified textual sequences, and model the EA task as a bi-directional textual entailment task between the sequences of cross-KG entities. Specifically, we feed the sequences of two entities simultaneously into a pre-trained language model (PLM) and propose two kinds of PLM-based entity aligners that model the entailment probability between sequences as the similarity between entities. Our approach captures the unified correlation pattern of two kinds of information between entities, and explicitly models the fine-grained interaction between original entity information. The experiments on five cross-lingual EA datasets show that our approach outperforms the state-of-the-art EA methods and enables the mutual enhancement of the heterogeneous information.
