Personalized Image Generation with Reasoning and Reflection
Bo Ni, Ngoc N. Tran, Qinwen Ge +10
Personalized image generation has remained narrowly focused on conditional synthesis from curated visual exemplars, rather than capturing who a user is. In practice, however, a use…
Prompt2Skill: Unsupervised Skill Optimization From Natural Language Instructions
Bo Ni, Li Li, Ryan A. Rossi +2
Skills are external artifacts that Large Language Models (LLMs) consume at inference time to improve their performance on specialized domains by incorporating relevant procedural a…
Joint and Cross-Modal Video-Audio Generation and Editing: A Unified Formulation and Design Taxonomy
Abhinav Sharma, Sai Karthik Navuluru, Wang Wei +21
Video and audio are perceived together, yet most generative models treat them in isolation. We examine methods that model the two modalities jointly, generate one from the other, o…
AutoKD: Autonomous Knowledge Discovery
Qinwen Ge, Bo Ni, Haowei Fu +3
Scientific discovery in data-rich domains is currently constrained by human bandwidth: the growth in the volume and complexity of real-world data far outpaces the rate at which res…
KnowSim: Evaluating Information Calibration in LLM Assistants with User Simulators that Learn
Yoonjoo Lee, Hyoungwook Jin, Tae Soo Kim +3
To effectively collaborate with users on knowledge-intensive tasks, Large Language Models (LLMs) must perform information calibration: matching content to a user's evolving underst…
Unifying Graph Neural Networks Through a Common Layer Equation
Sai Karthik Navuluru, Siddhartha Shankar Das, Bo Ni +9
Graph neural networks are commonly described through family-specific equations whose notation obscures shared computations and structural differences. We introduce a common layer e…
Personalized Auto-Research: Towards a True AI Co-Scientist
Bo Ni, Franck Dernoncourt, Hongjie Chen +5
AI co-scientists that generate hypotheses, retrieve related work, design experiments, execute code, and draft full papers are beginning to change how research is carried out. Despi…
A Survey on LLM-based Conversational User Simulation
Bo Ni, Leyao Wang, Yu Wang +27
User simulation has long played a vital role in computer science due to its potential to support a wide range of applications. Language, as the primary medium of human communicatio…
Human-Aligned MLLM Judges for Fine-Grained Image Editing Evaluation: A Benchmark, Framework, and Analysis
Runzhou Liu, Hailey Weingord, Sejal Mittal +18
Evaluating image editing models remains challenging due to the coarse granularity and limited interpretability of traditional metrics, which often fail to capture aspects important…
Reasoning-Based Personalized Generation for Users with Sparse Data
Bo Ni, Branislav Kveton, Samyadeep Basu +14
Large Language Model (LLM) personalization holds great promise for tailoring responses by leveraging personal context and history. However, real-world users usually possess sparse…
Ensemble Privacy Defense for Knowledge-Intensive LLMs against Membership Inference Attacks
Haowei Fu, Bo Ni, Han Xu +3
Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) and Supervised Finetuning (SFT) have become the predominant paradigms for equipping Large Language Models (LLMs) with external knowledge for di…
Towards Bridging Review Sparsity in Recommendation with Textual Edge Graph Representation
Leyao Wang, Xutao Mao, Xuhui Zhan +5
Textual reviews enrich recommender systems with fine-grained preference signals and enhanced explainability. However, in real-world scenarios, users rarely leave reviews, resulting…
A Personalized Conversational Benchmark: Towards Simulating Personalized Conversations
Li Li, Peilin Cai, Ryan A. Rossi +21
We present PersonaConvBench, a large-scale benchmark for evaluating personalized reasoning and generation in multi-turn conversations with large language models (LLMs). Unlike exis…
Towards Trustworthy Retrieval Augmented Generation for Large Language Models: A Survey
Bo Ni, Zheyuan Liu, Leyao Wang +17
Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) is an advanced technique designed to address the challenges of Artificial Intelligence-Generated Content (AIGC). By integrating context retriev…
Towards Trustworthy Knowledge Graph Reasoning: An Uncertainty Aware Perspective
Bo Ni, Yu Wang, Lu Cheng +2
Recently, Knowledge Graphs (KGs) have been successfully coupled with Large Language Models (LLMs) to mitigate their hallucinations and enhance their reasoning capability, such as i…
SaVe-TAG: LLM-based Interpolation for Long-Tailed Text-Attributed Graphs
Leyao Wang, Yu Wang, Bo Ni +4
Real-world graph data often follows long-tailed distributions, making it difficult for Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) to generalize well across both head and tail classes. Recent adv…
Augmenting Textual Generation via Topology Aware Retrieval
Yu Wang, Nedim Lipka, Ruiyi Zhang +6
Despite the impressive advancements of Large Language Models (LLMs) in generating text, they are often limited by the knowledge contained in the input and prone to producing inaccu…
