Can Language Models Imagine Without Seeing? Ekphrasis: Measuring Visual Creative Ideation in Text-Only LLMs
Hongyu Luo, He Wang, Huihao Jing +6
Current evaluations do not isolate whether text-only language models can originate visual concepts before image generation. Fluent visual prose can hide visual-plan failures: an an…
NOVA: NOise-aware Verbal Confidence CAlibration for Robust Large Language Models in RAG Systems
Jiayu Liu, Rui Wang, Qing Zong +9
Accurately assessing model confidence is essential for deploying large language models (LLMs) in mission-critical factual domains. While retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) is wid…
Can LLMs Time Travel? Enhancing Temporal Consistency in Legal Agentic Search through Reinforcement Learning
Wei Fan, Yining Zhou, Mufan Zhang +8
While large language models (LLMs) augmented with agentic search capabilities show promise for legal reasoning, they overlook a fundamental constraint that applicable law must matc…
The Curse of CoT: On the Limitations of Chain-of-Thought in In-Context Learning
Tianshi Zheng, Yixiang Chen, Chengxi Li +7
Chain-of-Thought (CoT) prompting has been widely recognized for its ability to enhance reasoning capabilities in large language models (LLMs). However, our study reveals a surprisi…
CritiCal: Can Critique Help LLM Uncertainty or Confidence Calibration?
Qing Zong, Jiayu Liu, Tianshi Zheng +7
Accurate confidence calibration in Large Language Models (LLMs) is critical for safe use in high-stakes domains, where clear verbalized confidence enhances user trust. Traditional…
LogiDynamics: Unraveling the Dynamics of Inductive, Abductive and Deductive Logical Inferences in LLM Reasoning
Tianshi Zheng, Jiayang Cheng, Chunyang Li +6
Modern large language models (LLMs) employ diverse logical inference mechanisms for reasoning, making the strategic optimization of these approaches critical for advancing their ca…
