DualAnchor: Preserving Language Priors and Improving Lexical Fidelity in Gloss-Free Sign Language Translation
Hongbin Zhang, Junhao Liu, Xuefeng Bai +3
The paper introduces DualAnchor, a training framework for gloss-free sign language translation that preserves large language model priors with token-level prior anchoring and enhan…
Decoupling Skeleton and Flesh: Efficient Multimodal Table Reasoning with Disentangled Alignment and Structure-aware Guidance
Yingjie Zhu, Xuefeng Bai, Kehai Chen +4
Reasoning over table images remains challenging for Large Vision-Language Models (LVLMs) due to complex layouts and tightly coupled structure-content information. Existing solution…
Tailoring Teaching to Aptitude: Direction-Adaptive Self-Distillation for LLM Reasoning
Hongbin Zhang, Chaozheng Wang, Kehai Chen +4
On-policy self-distillation (OPSD) is an emerging LLM post-training paradigm in which the model serves as its own teacher: conditioned on privileged information such as a reference…
Instruction Anchor: Dissecting the Mechanistic Dynamics of Modality Arbitration
Yu Zhang, Mufan Xu, Xuefeng Bai +4
Modality following is the ability to selectively leverage multimodal contexts based on user instructions. It is fundamental to the safety and reliability of multimodal large langua…
Mitigating Multimodal Hallucination via Phase-wise Self-reward
Yu Zhang, Chuyang Sun, Kehai Chen +3
Large Vision-Language Models (LVLMs) still struggle with vision hallucination, where generated responses are inconsistent with the visual input. Existing methods either rely on lar…
When Is Thinking Enough? Early Exit via Sufficiency Assessment for Efficient Reasoning
Yang Xiang, Yixin Ji, Ruotao Xu +4
Large reasoning models (LRMs) have achieved remarkable performance in complex reasoning tasks, driven by their powerful inference-time scaling capability. However, LRMs often suffe…
