Deep Research: A Systematic Survey

Zhengliang Shi, Yiqun Chen, Haitao Li +23

Large language models (LLMs) have rapidly evolved from text generators into powerful problem solvers. Yet, many open tasks demand critical thinking, multi-source, and verifiable ou…

Do LVLMs Know What They Know? A Systematic Study of Knowledge Boundary Perception in LVLMs

Zhikai Ding, Shiyu Ni, Keping Bi

Large vision-language models (LVLMs) demonstrate strong visual question answering (VQA) capabilities but are shown to hallucinate. A reliable model should perceive its knowledge bo…

Injecting External Knowledge into the Reasoning Process Enhances Retrieval-Augmented Generation

Minghao Tang, Shiyu Ni, Jiafeng Guo +1

Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) has been widely adopted to augment large language models (LLMs) with external knowledge for knowledge-intensive tasks. However, its effectivene…

Popular but Wrong: Understanding and Mitigating LLM Overconfidence through Knowledge Popularity

Shiyu Ni, Keping Bi, Jiafeng Guo +1

Large language models (LLMs) often produce incorrect answers with high confidence, yet the factors associated with such overconfidence remain insufficiently understood. We study th…

Towards Fully Exploiting LLM Internal States to Enhance Knowledge Boundary Perception

Shiyu Ni, Keping Bi, Jiafeng Guo +3

Large language models (LLMs) exhibit impressive performance across diverse tasks but often struggle to accurately gauge their knowledge boundaries, leading to confident yet incorre…
