Strong yet Controllable LLM Abstention without Learning to Abstain

Junwei Zhang, Yifei Wang, Wanli Yang +6

Large language models (LLMs) can reduce hallucination by abstaining from questions they would likely get wrong. Abstention can be implemented outside the model (selective answering…

Beyond Final Scores: A Systematic Evaluation of Agents for Long-Horizon AI Research and Development

Yiwei Li, Wanli Yang, Hexiang Tan +10

Autonomous agents are increasingly capable of improving models, systems, and other technical artifacts through long-horizon experimentation. To understand the current state of this…

Beyond Reasoning: Reinforcement Learning Unlocks Parametric Knowledge in LLMs

Wanli Yang, Hongyu Zang, Junwei Zhang +5

Reinforcement learning (RL) has achieved remarkable success in LLM reasoning, but whether it can also improve direct recall of parametric knowledge remains an open question. We stu…

BaseCal: Unsupervised Confidence Calibration via Base Model Signals

Hexiang Tan, Wanli Yang, Junwei Zhang +7

Reliable confidence is essential for trusting the outputs of LLMs, yet widely deployed post-trained LLMs (PoLLMs) typically compromise this trust with severe overconfidence. In con…

Fine-tuning Done Right in Model Editing

Wanli Yang, Rui Tang, Hongyu Zang +6

Fine-tuning, a foundational method for adapting large language models, has long been considered ineffective for model editing. Here, we challenge this belief, arguing that the repo…

The Mirage of Model Editing: Revisiting Evaluation in the Wild

Wanli Yang, Fei Sun, Jiajun Tan +5

Despite near-perfect results reported in the literature, the effectiveness of model editing in real-world applications remains unclear. To bridge this gap, we introduce QAEdit, a n…

Understanding the Collapse of LLMs in Model Editing

Wanli Yang, Fei Sun, Jiajun Tan +4

Despite significant progress in model editing methods, their application in real-world scenarios remains challenging as they often cause large language models (LLMs) to collapse. A…

The Butterfly Effect of Model Editing: Few Edits Can Trigger Large Language Models Collapse

Wanli Yang, Fei Sun, Xinyu Ma +3

Although model editing has shown promise in revising knowledge in Large Language Models (LLMs), its impact on the inherent capabilities of LLMs is often overlooked. In this work, w…

Blinded by Generated Contexts: How Language Models Merge Generated and Retrieved Contexts When Knowledge Conflicts?

Hexiang Tan, Fei Sun, Wanli Yang +3

While auxiliary information has become a key to enhancing Large Language Models (LLMs), relatively little is known about how LLMs merge these contexts, specifically contexts genera…
