Diverse Reasoning Paths Matter: Symbolic Equivalence Augmentation for Enhancing RL Exploration
Xiaoou Liu, Tiejin Chen, Hanyang Chen +2
Reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR) has emerged as a powerful paradigm for improving the reasoning capabilities of LLMs. However, the role of supervised fine-tuni…
Vision Language Model Helps Private Information De-Identification in Vision Data
Tiejin Chen, Pingzhi Li, Kaixiong Zhou +2
Visual Language Models (VLMs) have gained significant popularity due to their remarkable ability. While various methods exist to enhance privacy in text-based applications, privacy…
Unveiling Privacy Risks in Multi-modal Large Language Models: Task-specific Vulnerabilities and Mitigation Challenges
Tiejin Chen, Pingzhi Li, Kaixiong Zhou +2
Privacy risks in text-only Large Language Models (LLMs) are well studied, particularly their tendency to memorize and leak sensitive information. However, Multi-modal Large Languag…
Diagnosing Multi-step Reasoning Failures in Black-box LLMs via Stepwise Confidence Attribution
Xiaoou Liu, Tiejin Chen, Dengjia Zhang +3
Large Language Models have achieved strong performance on reasoning tasks with objective answers by generating step-by-step solutions, but diagnosing where a multi-step reasoning t…
The Sim-to-Real Gap of Foundation Model Agents: A Unified MDP Perspective
Xiaoou Liu, Tiejin Chen, Weibo Li +2
Foundation model agents are increasingly deployed for real-world decision-making, but suffer from the sim-to-real gap. While robotics and classical control have mature frameworks t…
Position: Uncertainty Quantification in LLMs is Just Unsupervised Clustering
Tiejin Chen, Longchao Da, Xiaoou Liu +1
Uncertainty Quantification (UQ) is widely regarded as the primary safeguard for deploying Large Language Models (LLMs) in high-stakes domains. However, we argue that the field suff…
Agentic AI for Trip Planning Optimization Application
Tiejin Chen, Ahmadreza Moradipari, Kyungtae Han +2
Trip planning for intelligent vehicles increasingly requires selecting optimal routes rather than merely producing feasible itineraries, as interacting factors such as travel time,…
Are LLM Uncertainty and Correctness Encoded by the Same Features? A Functional Dissociation via Sparse Autoencoders
Het Patel, Tiejin Chen, Hua Wei +2
Large language models can be uncertain yet correct, or confident yet wrong, raising the question of whether their output-level uncertainty and their actual correctness are driven b…
Every Response Counts: Quantifying Uncertainty of LLM-based Multi-Agent Systems through Tensor Decomposition
Tiejin Chen, Huaiyuan Yao, Jia Chen +2
While Large Language Model-based Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) consistently outperform single-agent systems on complex tasks, their intricate interactions introduce critical reliabilit…
Conformal Feedback Alignment: Quantifying Answer-Level Reliability for Robust LLM Alignment
Tiejin Chen, Xiaoou Liu, Vishnu Nandam +2
Preference-based alignment like Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF) learns from pairwise preferences, yet the labels are often noisy and inconsistent. Existing uncert…
