Multimodal Fact-Level Attribution for Verifiable Reasoning
David Wan, Han Wang, Ziyang Wang +3
Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) are increasingly used for real-world tasks involving multi-step reasoning and long-form generation, where reliability requires grounding mo…
Stabilizing Efficient Reasoning with Step-Level Advantage Selection
Han Wang, Xiaodong Yu, Jialian Wu +4
Large language models (LLMs) achieve strong reasoning performance by allocating substantial computation at inference time, often generating long and verbose reasoning traces. While…
MERRIN: A Benchmark for Multimodal Evidence Retrieval and Reasoning in Noisy Web Environments
Han Wang, David Wan, Hyunji Lee +6
Motivated by the underspecified, multi-hop nature of search queries and the multimodal, heterogeneous, and often conflicting nature of real-world web results, we introduce MERRIN (…
Retrieval-Augmented Generation with Conflicting Evidence
Han Wang, Archiki Prasad, Elias Stengel-Eskin +1
Large language model (LLM) agents are increasingly employing retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) to improve the factuality of their responses. However, in practice, these systems…
AdaCAD: Adaptively Decoding to Balance Conflicts between Contextual and Parametric Knowledge
Han Wang, Archiki Prasad, Elias Stengel-Eskin +1
Knowledge conflict arises from discrepancies between information in the context of a large language model (LLM) and the knowledge stored in its parameters. This can hurt performanc…
Soft Self-Consistency Improves Language Model Agents
Han Wang, Archiki Prasad, Elias Stengel-Eskin +1
Generations from large language models (LLMs) can be improved by sampling and scoring multiple solutions to select a final answer. Current "sample and select" methods such as self-…
