AREAs-Lab: An Interactive Environment for AI-driven Requirement Elicitation for AI Systems

Pengshan Cai, Zihao Zhang, Ting Jin +8

Building effective AI systems increasingly depends on writing high-quality task requirements, yet users often struggle to articulate the constraints, preferences, and edge cases th…

StreamHear: Domain-Adapted Pseudo-Labeling for Semi-Supervised Streaming Speech Recognition

Zefang Liu, Chenyang Zhu, Sangwoo Cho +3

Streaming automatic speech recognition (ASR) underperforms on domain-shifted target audio, where labeled in-domain data is costly to prepare while unlabeled audio is abundant. We p…

SPAR: Semantic-Pixel Self-Alignment and Adaptive Routing for Unified Multimodal Models

Hongxiang Li, Hongxu Chen, Chenyang Zhu +5

Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) have achieved remarkable success in visual understanding but remain constrained in visual generation due to the fundamental feature discrep…

Ask, Don't Judge: Binary Questions for Interpretable LLM Evaluation and Self-Improvement

Sangwoo Cho, Kushal Chawla, Pengshan Cai +4

Evaluating LLM outputs remains a major bottleneck in NLP: human evaluation is expensive and slow, lexical metrics correlate poorly with human judgments on open-ended generation, an…

PAIWorld: A 3D-Consistent World Foundation Model for Robotic Manipulation

Yuhang Huang, Xuan Lv, Junyan Xu +25

World foundation models (WFMs) are powerful simulators, yet they predominantly operate in a single-view setting and lack the multi-view 3D consistency required for robotic manipula…

MoKus: Leveraging Cross-Modal Knowledge Transfer for Knowledge-Aware Concept Customization

Chenyang Zhu, Hongxiang Li, Xiu Li +1

Concept customization typically binds rare tokens to a target concept. Unfortunately, these approaches often suffer from unstable performance as the pretraining data seldom contain…

ReHear: Iterative Pseudo-Label Refinement for Semi-Supervised Speech Recognition via Audio Large Language Models

Zefang Liu, Chenyang Zhu, Sangwoo Cho +1

Semi-supervised learning in automatic speech recognition (ASR) typically relies on pseudo-labeling, which often suffers from confirmation bias and error accumulation due to noisy s…

Confidence-Based Response Abstinence: Improving LLM Trustworthiness via Activation-Based Uncertainty Estimation

Zhiqi Huang, Vivek Datla, Chenyang Zhu +4

We propose a method for confidence estimation in retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems that aligns closely with the correctness of large language model (LLM) outputs. Confid…

Refusal Tokens: A Simple Way to Calibrate Refusals in Large Language Models

Neel Jain, Aditya Shrivastava, Chenyang Zhu +6

A key component of building safe and reliable language models is enabling the models to appropriately refuse to follow certain instructions or answer certain questions. We may want…
