Reflective Prompt Tuning through Language Model Function-Calling

Farima Fatahi Bayat, Moin Aminnaseri, Pouya Pezeshkpour +1

Large language models (LLMs) have become increasingly capable of following instructions and complex reasoning, making prompting a flexible interface for adapting models without par…

From Proof to Program: Characterizing Tool-Induced Reasoning Hallucinations in Large Language Models

Farima Fatahi Bayat, Pouya Pezeshkpour, Estevam Hruschka

Tool-augmented Language Models (TaLMs) can invoke external tools to solve problems beyond their parametric capacity. However, it remains unclear whether these tool-enabled gains re…

Logit Arithmetic Elicits Long Reasoning Capabilities Without Training

Yunxiang Zhang, Muhammad Khalifa, Lechen Zhang +5

Large reasoning models exhibit long chain-of-thought reasoning with complex strategies such as backtracking and self-verification. Yet, these capabilities typically require resourc…

Blue Data Intelligence Layer: Streaming Data and Agents for Multi-source Multi-modal Data-Centric Applications

Moin Aminnaseri, Farima Fatahi Bayat, Nikita Bhutani +17

NL2SQL systems aim to address the growing need for natural language interaction with data. However, real-world information rarely maps to a single SQL query because (1) users expre…

Logit Arithmetic Elicits Long Reasoning Capabilities Without Training

Yunxiang Zhang, Muhammad Khalifa, Lechen Zhang +5

Large reasoning models (LRMs) can do complex reasoning via long chain-of-thought (CoT) involving cognitive strategies such as backtracking and self-correction. Recent studies sugge…

FactBench: A Dynamic Benchmark for In-the-Wild Language Model Factuality Evaluation

Farima Fatahi Bayat, Lechen Zhang, Sheza Munir +1

The rapid adoption of language models (LMs) across diverse applications has raised concerns about their factuality, i.e., their consistency with real-world facts. We first present…
