How Far Ahead Do LLMs Plan? Uncovering the Latent Horizon in Chain-of-Thought Reasoning

Liyan Xu, Mo Yu, Fandong Meng +1

Chain-of-thought (CoT) reasoning has become a central mechanism for eliciting multi-step reasoning in Large Language Models (LLMs). Yet recent evidence presents a tension: hidden s…

PRELUDE: A Benchmark Designed to Require Global Comprehension and Reasoning over Long Contexts

Mo Yu, Tsz Ting Chung, Chulun Zhou +8

We introduce PRELUDE, a benchmark for evaluating long-context understanding through the task of determining whether a character's prequel story is consistent with the canonical nar…

SitEmb-v1.5: Improved Context-Aware Dense Retrieval for Semantic Association and Long Story Comprehension

Junjie Wu, Jiangnan Li, Yuqing Li +6

Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) over long documents typically involves splitting the text into smaller chunks, which serve as the basic units for retrieval. However, due to de…

Dense Retrievers Can Fail on Simple Queries: Revealing The Granularity Dilemma of Embeddings

Liyan Xu, Zhenlin Su, Mo Yu +3

This work stems from an observed limitation of text encoders: embeddings may not be able to recognize fine-grained entities or events within encoded semantics, resulting in failed…

The Stochastic Parrot on LLM's Shoulder: A Summative Assessment of Physical Concept Understanding

Mo Yu, Lemao Liu, Junjie Wu +5

In a systematic way, we investigate a widely asked question: Do LLMs really understand what they say?, which relates to the more familiar term Stochastic Parrot. To this end, we pr…
