Making LLMs Say What They Think: Measuring and Improving CoT-Interpretability Alignment

Yihuai Hong, Shauli Ravfogel, Chen Zhao +1

Chain-of-thought (CoT) traces often serve as a proxy for how Large Language Models (LLMs) arrive at their answers. However, growing evidence shows that models' CoT often fails to r…

Small Language Models as Judges for Rubric-Based Reinforcement Learning

Fengyu Xie, Yilun Zhao, Bingsen Chen +2

Rubric-based reinforcement learning extends RL beyond tasks with exact answers or rule-based verifiers by scoring responses against instance-specific criteria. However, this makes…

Reading, Not Thinking: Understanding and Bridging the Modality Gap When Text Becomes Pixels in Multimodal LLMs

Kaiser Sun, Xiaochuang Yuan, Hongjun Liu +4

Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) can process text presented as images, yet they often perform worse than when the same content is provided as textual tokens. We systematica…

LimRank: Less is More for Reasoning-Intensive Information Reranking

Tingyu Song, Yilun Zhao, Siyue Zhang +2

Existing approaches typically rely on large-scale fine-tuning to adapt LLMs for information reranking tasks, which is computationally expensive. In this work, we demonstrate that m…

FinLFQA: Evaluating Attributed Text Generation of LLMs in Financial Long-Form Question Answering

Yitao Long, Tiansheng Hu, Yilun Zhao +2

Large Language Models (LLMs) frequently hallucinate to long-form questions, producing plausible yet factually incorrect answers. A common mitigation strategy is to provide attribut…
