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…
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…
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…
Resisting Contextual Interference in RAG via Parametric-Knowledge Reinforcement
Chenyu Lin, Yilin Wen, Du Su +5
Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) improves performance on knowledge-intensive tasks but can be derailed by wrong, irrelevant, or conflicting retrieved text, causing models to re…
PersonaAct: Simulating Short-Video Users with Personalized Agents for Counterfactual Filter Bubble Auditing
Shilong Zhao, Qinggang Yang, Zhiyi Yin +4
Short-video platforms rely on personalized recommendation, raising concerns about filter bubbles that narrow content exposure. Auditing such phenomena at scale is challenging becau…
The 2nd Workshop on Human-Centered Recommender Systems
Kaike Zhang, Jiakai Tang, Du Su +6
Recommender systems shape how people discover information, form opinions, and connect with society. Yet, as their influence grows, traditional metrics, e.g., accuracy, clicks, and…
