Correct Choices, Failed Sequences: Choice2Seq Benchmarks Correctness Retention Across Output Interfaces

Tianyou Lai, Wentao Yue, Zhiying Deng +1

A model may select the correct answer yet fail to construct it through a sequence of local decisions. We introduce Choice2Seq, a diagnostic benchmark that measures correctness rete…

From Backward Spreading to Forward Replay: Revisiting Target Construction in LLM Parameter Editing

Wei Liu, Hongkai Liu, Zhiying Deng +2

LLM parameter editing methods commonly rely on computing an ideal target hidden-state at a target layer (referred as anchor point) and distributing the target vector to multiple pr…

Time-Interval-Aware Disentangled Expert Modeling for Next-Basket Recommendation

Zhiying Deng, Yuan Fu, Usman Farooq +3

Next-basket recommendation (NBR) is a type of recommendation that aims to predict a set of items a user will purchase based on their historical transaction basket sequences. It is…

Are We Evaluating the Edit Locality of LLM Model Editing Properly?

Wei Liu, Haomei Xu, Hongkai Liu +5

Model editing has recently emerged as a popular paradigm for efficiently updating knowledge in LLMs. A central desideratum of updating knowledge is to balance editing efficacy, i.e…

Is Model Editing Built on Sand? Revealing Its Illusory Success and Fragile Foundation

Wei Liu, Haomei Xu, Bingqing Liu +6

Large language models (LLMs) inevitably encode outdated or incorrect knowledge. Updating, deleting, and forgetting such knowledge is important for alignment, safety, and other issu…

Adversarial Cooperative Rationalization: The Risk of Spurious Correlations in Even Clean Datasets

Wei Liu, Zhongyu Niu, Lang Gao +4

This study investigates the self-rationalization framework constructed with a cooperative game, where a generator initially extracts the most informative segment from raw input, an…

Breaking Free from MMI: A New Frontier in Rationalization by Probing Input Utilization

Wei Liu, Zhiying Deng, Zhongyu Niu +4

Extracting a small subset of crucial rationales from the full input is a key problem in explainability research. The most widely used fundamental criterion for rationale extraction…

Is the MMI Criterion Necessary for Interpretability? Degenerating Non-causal Features to Plain Noise for Self-Rationalization

Wei Liu, Zhiying Deng, Zhongyu Niu +4

An important line of research in the field of explainability is to extract a small subset of crucial rationales from the full input. The most widely used criterion for rationale ex…

Enhancing the Rationale-Input Alignment for Self-explaining Rationalization

Wei Liu, Haozhao Wang, Jun Wang +4

Rationalization empowers deep learning models with self-explaining capabilities through a cooperative game, where a generator selects a semantically consistent subset of the input…

D-Separation for Causal Self-Explanation

Wei Liu, Jun Wang, Haozhao Wang +4

Rationalization is a self-explaining framework for NLP models. Conventional work typically uses the maximum mutual information (MMI) criterion to find the rationale that is most in…
