Focusing Condition: Inference-Time Self-Contrastive Steering Elicits Better Conditional Text Embeddings in LLMs
Zifeng Cheng, Lingyun Qian, Zhiwei Jiang +5
Extracting conditional text embeddings from large language models (LLMs) is a promising paradigm, as it requires neither additional data nor fine-tuning. Existing methods incorpora…
ScaleErasure: Inference-Time Minimal Intervention for Precise Concept Erasure in Next-Scale Autoregressive Image Generation
Cong Wang, Haiyu Wu, Zhiwei Jiang +4
Concept erasure aims to prevent image generative models from producing unsafe content while preserving their general generative capability. Meanwhile, next-scale autoregressive (AR…
Multi-Label Test-Time Adaptation with Bayesian Conditional Priors
Qiru Li, Ao Zhou, Zhiwei Jiang +4
Multi-label recognition with frozen Vision-Language Models (VLMs) is brittle under distribution shift: standard zero-shot inference scores labels independently, ignoring co-occurre…
RegionMarker: A Region-Triggered Semantic Watermarking Framework for Embedding-as-a-Service Copyright Protection
Shufan Yang, Zifeng Cheng, Zhiwei Jiang +5
Embedding-as-a-Service (EaaS) is an effective and convenient deployment solution for addressing various NLP tasks. Nevertheless, recent research has shown that EaaS is vulnerable t…
Steering When Necessary: Flexible Steering Large Language Models with Backtracking
Zifeng Cheng, Jinwei Gan, Zhiwei Jiang +5
Large language models (LLMs) have achieved remarkable performance across many generation tasks. Nevertheless, effectively aligning them with desired behaviors remains a significant…
Hierarchical Vision-Language Reasoning for Multimodal Multiple-Choice Question Answering
Ao Zhou, Zebo Gu, Tenghao Sun +6
Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) have demonstrated remarkable multimodal understanding capabilities in Visual Question Answering (VQA) tasks by integrating visual and textu…
Cross-Modal Prototype Augmentation and Dual-Grained Prompt Learning for Social Media Popularity Prediction
Ao Zhou, Mingsheng Tu, Luping Wang +5
Social Media Popularity Prediction is a complex multimodal task that requires effective integration of images, text, and structured information. However, current approaches suffer…
Advanced Sign Language Video Generation with Compressed and Quantized Multi-Condition Tokenization
Cong Wang, Zexuan Deng, Zhiwei Jiang +6
Sign Language Video Generation (SLVG) seeks to generate identity-preserving sign language videos from spoken language texts. Existing methods primarily rely on the single coarse co…
Contrastive Prompting Enhances Sentence Embeddings in LLMs through Inference-Time Steering
Zifeng Cheng, Zhonghui Wang, Yuchen Fu +4
Extracting sentence embeddings from large language models (LLMs) is a practical direction, as it requires neither additional data nor fine-tuning. Previous studies usually focus on…
Implicit Location-Caption Alignment via Complementary Masking for Weakly-Supervised Dense Video Captioning
Shiping Ge, Qiang Chen, Zhiwei Jiang +4
Weakly-Supervised Dense Video Captioning (WSDVC) aims to localize and describe all events of interest in a video without requiring annotations of event boundaries. This setting pos…
Token Prepending: A Training-Free Approach for Eliciting Better Sentence Embeddings from LLMs
Yuchen Fu, Zifeng Cheng, Zhiwei Jiang +4
Extracting sentence embeddings from large language models (LLMs) is a promising direction, as LLMs have demonstrated stronger semantic understanding capabilities. Previous studies…
A Debiased Nearest Neighbors Framework for Multi-Label Text Classification
Zifeng Cheng, Zhiwei Jiang, Yafeng Yin +5
Multi-Label Text Classification (MLTC) is a practical yet challenging task that involves assigning multiple non-exclusive labels to each document. Previous studies primarily focus…
Multi-Prompting Decoder Helps Better Language Understanding
Zifeng Cheng, Zhaoling Chen, Zhiwei Jiang +4
Recent Pre-trained Language Models (PLMs) usually only provide users with the inference APIs, namely the emerging Model-as-a-Service (MaaS) setting. To adapt MaaS PLMs to downstrea…
Controlling Class Layout for Deep Ordinal Classification via Constrained Proxies Learning
Cong Wang, Zhiwei Jiang, Yafeng Yin +3
For deep ordinal classification, learning a well-structured feature space specific to ordinal classification is helpful to properly capture the ordinal nature among classes. Intuit…
