Decouple to Forget: Semantic Mediation for Sensitive Unlearning in Large Language Models

Jingyue Cong, Andy Song, Yang Yu +7

Machine unlearning for large language models seeks to remove specified knowledge while preserving general capability, yet current methods often treat an entire response as the unit…

The Commit-Abstain Circuit: Why Language Models Hallucinate Instead of Abstaining

Vy Nguyen, Ziqi Xu, Jeffrey Chan +5

Language models (LMs) often hallucinate by committing to confident answers rather than abstaining, even when they do not have enough information to answer reliably. A large body of…

Twin Worlds: Equivariance-Based Abstention for Evidence-Grounded Reasoning

Vy Nguyen, Ziqi Xu, Jeffrey Chan +5

Knowledge-intensive reasoning requires Large Language Models (LLMs) to ground answers in provided evidence. When evidence is insufficient, it is desirable that models abstain rathe…

The "Curse of Knowledge" in LLM Query Simulation: Concept Provenance for Tracing Answer-Side Intrusion

Chenglong Ma, Xinye Wanyan, Danula Hettiachchi +2

LLM-generated search queries are widely used to augment IR evaluation, yet they may contain concepts that presuppose answer-side document knowledge, violating the information-acces…

Stable Multimodal Graph Unlearning via Feature-Dimension Aware Quantile Selection

Jingjing Zhou, Yongshuai Yang, Qing Qing +5

Graph unlearning remains a critical technique for supporting privacy-preserving and sustainable multimodal graph learning. However, we observe that existing unlearning strategies t…

MCLMR: A Model-Agnostic Causal Learning Framework for Multi-Behavior Recommendation

Ranxu Zhang, Junjie Meng, Ying Sun +5

Multi-Behavior Recommendation (MBR) leverages multiple user interaction types (e.g., views, clicks, purchases) to enrich preference modeling and alleviate data sparsity issues in t…

Hallucinate Less by Thinking More: Aspect-Based Causal Abstention for Large Language Models

Vy Nguyen, Ziqi Xu, Jeffrey Chan +3

Large Language Models (LLMs) often produce fluent but factually incorrect responses, a phenomenon known as hallucination. Abstention, where the model chooses not to answer and inst…

Synthetic Forgetting without Access: A Few-shot Zero-glance Framework for Machine Unlearning

Qipeng Song, Nan Yang, Ziqi Xu +3

Machine unlearning aims to eliminate the influence of specific data from trained models to ensure privacy compliance. However, most existing methods assume full access to the origi…
