Strong yet Controllable LLM Abstention without Learning to Abstain
Junwei Zhang, Yifei Wang, Wanli Yang +6
Large language models (LLMs) can reduce hallucination by abstaining from questions they would likely get wrong. Abstention can be implemented outside the model (selective answering…
Beyond Reasoning: Reinforcement Learning Unlocks Parametric Knowledge in LLMs
Wanli Yang, Hongyu Zang, Junwei Zhang +5
Reinforcement learning (RL) has achieved remarkable success in LLM reasoning, but whether it can also improve direct recall of parametric knowledge remains an open question. We stu…
PersonaAct: Simulating Short-Video Users with Personalized Agents for Counterfactual Filter Bubble Auditing
Shilong Zhao, Qinggang Yang, Zhiyi Yin +4
Short-video platforms rely on personalized recommendation, raising concerns about filter bubbles that narrow content exposure. Auditing such phenomena at scale is challenging becau…
BaseCal: Unsupervised Confidence Calibration via Base Model Signals
Hexiang Tan, Wanli Yang, Junwei Zhang +7
Reliable confidence is essential for trusting the outputs of LLMs, yet widely deployed post-trained LLMs (PoLLMs) typically compromise this trust with severe overconfidence. In con…
The 2nd Workshop on Human-Centered Recommender Systems
Kaike Zhang, Jiakai Tang, Du Su +6
Recommender systems shape how people discover information, form opinions, and connect with society. Yet, as their influence grows, traditional metrics, e.g., accuracy, clicks, and…
Fine-tuning Done Right in Model Editing
Wanli Yang, Rui Tang, Hongyu Zang +6
Fine-tuning, a foundational method for adapting large language models, has long been considered ineffective for model editing. Here, we challenge this belief, arguing that the repo…
Resisting Contextual Interference in RAG via Parametric-Knowledge Reinforcement
Chenyu Lin, Yilin Wen, Du Su +5
Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) improves performance on knowledge-intensive tasks but can be derailed by wrong, irrelevant, or conflicting retrieved text, causing models to re…
Too Consistent to Detect: A Study of Self-Consistent Errors in LLMs
Hexiang Tan, Fei Sun, Sha Liu +8
As large language models (LLMs) often generate plausible but incorrect content, error detection has become increasingly critical to ensure truthfulness. However, existing detection…
The 1st Workshop on Human-Centered Recommender Systems
Kaike Zhang, Yunfan Wu, Yougang lyu +6
Recommender systems are quintessential applications of human-computer interaction. Widely utilized in daily life, they offer significant convenience but also present numerous chall…
Understanding the Collapse of LLMs in Model Editing
Wanli Yang, Fei Sun, Jiajun Tan +4
Despite significant progress in model editing methods, their application in real-world scenarios remains challenging as they often cause large language models (LLMs) to collapse. A…
Unlink to Unlearn: Simplifying Edge Unlearning in GNNs
Jiajun Tan, Fei Sun, Ruichen Qiu +2
As concerns over data privacy intensify, unlearning in Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) has emerged as a prominent research frontier in academia. This concept is pivotal in enforcing t…
