Beyond Final Outcomes: Quantifying Claim-Level Information Dynamics in Multi-Agent LLM Interaction

Haocheng Jiang, Herun Wan, Yongyuan Peng +1

When LLM-powered agents interact, information is repeatedly shared, expanded, and forgotten, yet multi-agent evaluation typically focuses on final task outcomes. We study such inte…

Why Knowing Both Hops Is Not Enough: Understanding Two-Hop Generalization in Language Models

Zili Zhang, Yilin Wang, Heng Wang +2

Large language models (LLMs) can solve complex multi-hop problems yet exhibit puzzling failures on simple two-hop queries: although a model may correctly store each individual hop,…

Listen, See and Track: Spatio-Temporal Audio-Visual Sound Event Reasoning for Omni-Modal Language Models

Zhi Zeng, Cheng Zhang, Zesheng Yang +9

Understanding dynamic sound sources requires jointly determining what produces a sound, where the source is located, and how it moves over time. Yet existing audio-language models…

The Deliberative Illusion: Diagnosing Factual Attrition and Stance Homogenization in Multi-Agent LLM Deliberation

Herun Wan, Jiaying Wu, Minnan Luo +4

Multi-agent LLM systems often treat consensus as evidence of successful interaction. For deliberative problems, however, reliability depends on whether agents preserve the facts an…

From Manipulation to Mistrust: Explaining Diverse Micro-Video Misinformation for Robust Debunking in the Wild

Zhi Zeng, Yifei Yang, Jiaying Wu +5

The rise of micro-videos has reshaped how misinformation spreads, amplifying its speed, reach, and impact on public trust. Existing benchmarks typically focus on a single deception…

The Facade of Truth: Uncovering and Mitigating LLM Susceptibility to Deceptive Evidence

Herun Wan, Jiaying Wu, Minnan Luo +3

To reliably assist human decision-making, LLMs must maintain factual internal beliefs against misleading injections. While current models resist explicit misinformation, we uncover…

Bot Meets Shortcut: How Can LLMs Aid in Handling Unknown Invariance OOD Scenarios?

Shiyan Zheng, Herun Wan, Minnan Luo +1

While existing social bot detectors perform well on benchmarks, their robustness across diverse real-world scenarios remains limited due to unclear ground truth and varied misleadi…

GuessBench: Sensemaking Multimodal Creativity in the Wild

Zifeng Zhu, Shangbin Feng, Herun Wan +3

We propose GuessBench, a novel benchmark that evaluates Vision Language Models (VLMs) on modeling the pervasive, noisy, and pluralistic human creativity. GuessBench sources data fr…

HACo-Det: A Study Towards Fine-Grained Machine-Generated Text Detection under Human-AI Coauthoring

Zhixiong Su, Yichen Wang, Herun Wan +2

The misuse of large language models (LLMs) poses potential risks, motivating the development of machine-generated text (MGT) detection. Existing literature primarily concentrates o…

Truth over Tricks: Measuring and Mitigating Shortcut Learning in Misinformation Detection

Herun Wan, Jiaying Wu, Minnan Luo +2

Misinformation detection models often rely on superficial cues (i.e., \emph{shortcuts}) that correlate with misinformation in training data but fail to generalize to the diverse an…

Each Fake News is Fake in its Own Way: An Attribution Multi-Granularity Benchmark for Multimodal Fake News Detection

Hao Guo, Zihan Ma, Zhi Zeng +4

Social platforms, while facilitating access to information, have also become saturated with a plethora of fake news, resulting in negative consequences. Automatic multimodal fake n…
