CultureForest: Understanding and Evaluating Cultural Norm Grounded Reasoning in LLMs
Yangfan Ye, Xiaocheng Feng, Jialong Tang +5
Existing research largely reduces cultural intelligence in LLMs to a knowledge-level problem, overlooking whether models can effectively utilize their acquired knowledge in realist…
Culture-Aware Machine Translation in Large Language Models: Benchmarking and Investigation
Zekun Yuan, Yangfan Ye, Xiaocheng Feng +5
Large language models (LLMs) have achieved strong performance in general machine translation, yet their ability in culture-aware scenarios remains poorly understood. To bridge this…
SAVOIR: Learning Social Savoir-Faire via Shapley-based Reward Attribution
Xiachong Feng, Yi Jiang, Xiaocheng Feng +9
Social intelligence, the ability to navigate complex interpersonal interactions, presents a fundamental challenge for language agents. Training such agents via reinforcement learni…
Stratagem: Learning Transferable Reasoning via Trajectory-Modulated Game Self-Play
Xiachong Feng, Deyi Yin, Xiaocheng Feng +9
Games offer a compelling paradigm for developing general reasoning capabilities in language models, as they naturally demand strategic planning, probabilistic inference, and adapti…
x1: Learning to Think Adaptively Across Languages and Cultures
Yangfan Ye, Xiaocheng Feng, Xiachong Feng +8
Languages encode distinct abstractions and inductive priors, yet most large language models (LLMs) overlook this diversity by reasoning in a single dominant language. In this work,…
Exploring Cross-lingual Latent Transplantation: Mutual Opportunities and Open Challenges
Yangfan Ye, Xiaocheng Feng, Xiachong Feng +11
Current large language models (LLMs) often exhibit imbalances in multilingual capabilities and cultural adaptability, largely attributed to their English-centric pre-training data.…
