EpiCoDe: Boosting Model Performance Beyond Training with Extrapolation and Contrastive Decoding
Mingxu Tao, Jie Hu, Mingchuan Yang +3
The remarkable performance of Large language models (LLMs) relies heavily on the availability of abundant high-quality training data. However, the high cost of acquiring annotated…
MiLiC-Eval: Benchmarking Multilingual LLMs for China's Minority Languages
Chen Zhang, Mingxu Tao, Zhiyuan Liao +1
Large language models (LLMs) excel in high-resource languages but struggle with low-resource languages (LRLs), particularly those spoken by minority communities in China, such as T…
Chain-of-Discussion: A Multi-Model Framework for Complex Evidence-Based Question Answering
Mingxu Tao, Dongyan Zhao, Yansong Feng
Open-ended question answering requires models to find appropriate evidence to form wellreasoned, comprehensive and helpful answers. In practical applications, models also need to e…
Probing Multimodal Large Language Models for Global and Local Semantic Representations
Mingxu Tao, Quzhe Huang, Kun Xu +3
The advancement of Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) has greatly accelerated the development of applications in understanding integrated texts and images. Recent works lever…
Unlocking the Potential of Model Merging for Low-Resource Languages
Mingxu Tao, Chen Zhang, Quzhe Huang +4
Adapting large language models (LLMs) to new languages typically involves continual pre-training (CT) followed by supervised fine-tuning (SFT). However, this CT-then-SFT approach s…
Chain of Condition: Construct, Verify and Solve Conditions for Conditional Question Answering
Jiuheng Lin, Yuxuan Lai, Yansong Feng
Conditional question answering (CQA) is an important task that aims to find probable answers and identify missing conditions. Existing approaches struggle with CQA due to two chall…
