DynaCF: Mitigating Shortcut Learning in Reward Models via Dynamic Counterfactual Sensitivity

Fengyuan Liu, Yongliang Miao, Zirui He +3

Reward models trained from pairwise preferences often exploit superficial shortcut cues rather than learning true response quality. We propose DynaCF, a dynamic reweighting framewo…

Universal Activation Verbalizer: A Unified Framework for Cross-Model Activation Explanation

Haiyan Zhao, Zirui He, Guanchu Wang +3

Activation verbalization explains hidden representations in natural language, but existing methods are mostly limited to self-explanation, where each model explains only its own ac…

RealRoute: Dynamic Query Routing System via Retrieve-then-Verify Paradigm

Jiahe Liu, Qinkai Yu, Jingcheng Niu +5

Despite the success of Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) in grounding LLMs with external knowledge, its application over heterogeneous sources (e.g., private databases, global c…

FinAnchor: Aligned Multi-Model Representations for Financial Prediction

Zirui He, Huopu Zhang, Yanguang Liu +2

Financial prediction from long documents involves significant challenges, as actionable signals are often sparse and obscured by noise, and the optimal LLM for generating embedding…

Rep2Text: Decoding Full Text from a Single LLM Token Representation

Haiyan Zhao, Zirui He, Yiming Tang +4

Large language models represent text as hidden numerical patterns, but what information these representations actually contain remains a mystery. Can we recover the original text f…

LogitTrace: Detecting Benchmark Contamination via Layerwise Logit Trajectories

Zirui He, Haiyan Zhao, Yingcong Li +2

Large language models (LLMs) are commonly evaluated on challenging benchmarks such as AIME and Math500, where benchmark contamination can make memorized solutions appear as genuine…

SAE-SSV: Supervised Steering in Sparse Representation Spaces for Reliable Control of Language Models

Zirui He, Mingyu Jin, Bo Shen +3

Large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated impressive capabilities in natural language understanding and generation, but controlling their behavior reliably remains challenging…

SAE-FiRE: Enhancing Earnings Surprise Predictions Through Sparse Autoencoder Feature Selection

Huopu Zhang, Yanguang Liu, Miao Zhang +2

Predicting earnings surprises from financial documents, such as earnings conference calls, regulatory filings, and financial news, has become increasingly important in financial ec…

SAIF: A Sparse Autoencoder Framework for Interpreting and Steering Instruction Following of Language Models

Zirui He, Haiyan Zhao, Yiran Qiao +4

The ability of large language models (LLMs) to follow instructions is crucial for their practical applications, yet the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. This paper p…

Mitigating Shortcuts in Language Models with Soft Label Encoding

Zirui He, Huiqi Deng, Haiyan Zhao +2

Recent research has shown that large language models rely on spurious correlations in the data for natural language understanding (NLU) tasks. In this work, we aim to answer the fo…
