Declarative Data Services: Structured Agentic Discovery for Composing Data Systems
Shanshan Ye, Duo Lu
Agentic discovery has shown that LLM-driven search can find novel algorithms, designs, and code under benchmark conditions. Translating the paradigm to multi-system data backends s…
DocScope: Benchmarking Verifiable Reasoning for Trustworthy Long-Document Understanding
Xiang Feng, Jiawei Zhou, Zhangfeng Huang +6
Evaluating whether Multimodal Large Language Models can produce trustworthy, verifiable reasoning over long, visually rich documents requires evaluation beyond end-to-end answer ac…
Behavioral Determinants of Deployed AI Agents in Social Networks: A Multi-Factor Study of Personality, Model, and Guardrail Specification
Sarah Wilson, Diem Linh Dang, Usman Ali Moazzam +2
Autonomous AI agents are increasingly deployed in open social environments, yet the relationship between their configuration specifications and their emergent social behavior remai…
Forgetting: A New Mechanism Towards Better Large Language Model Fine-tuning
Ali Taheri, Alireza Taban, Qizhou Wang +4
Supervised fine-tuning (SFT) plays a critical role for pretrained large language models (LLMs), notably enhancing their capacity to acquire domain-specific knowledge while preservi…
Towards Understanding Valuable Preference Data for Large Language Model Alignment
Zizhuo Zhang, Qizhou Wang, Shanshan Ye +4
Large language model (LLM) alignment is typically achieved through learning from human preference comparisons, making the quality of preference data critical to its success. Existi…
Is Gradient Ascent Really Necessary? Memorize to Forget for Machine Unlearning
Zhuo Huang, Qizhou Wang, Ziming Hong +3
For ethical and safe AI, machine unlearning rises as a critical topic aiming to protect sensitive, private, and copyrighted knowledge from misuse. To achieve this goal, it is commo…
