AVMeme Exam: A Multimodal Multilingual Multicultural Benchmark for LLMs' Contextual and Cultural Knowledge and Thinking

Xilin Jiang, Qiaolin Wang, Junkai Wu +30

Internet audio-visual clips convey meaning through time-varying sound and motion, which extend beyond what text alone can represent. To examine whether AI models can understand suc…

KDCM: Reducing Hallucination in LLMs through Explicit Reasoning Structures

Jinbo Hao, Kai Yang, Qingzhen Su +2

To mitigate hallucinations in large language models (LLMs), we propose a framework that focuses on errors induced by prompts. Our method extends a chain-style knowledge distillatio…

Mitigating Prompt-Induced Hallucinations in Large Language Models via Structured Reasoning

Jinbo Hao, Kai Yang, Qingzhen Su +3

To address hallucination issues in large language models (LLMs), this paper proposes a method for mitigating prompt-induced hallucinations. Building on a knowledge distillation cha…

From Sequence to Structure: Uncovering Substructure Reasoning in Transformers

Xinnan Dai, Kai Yang, Jay Revolinsky +4

Recent studies suggest that large language models (LLMs) possess the capability to solve graph reasoning tasks. Notably, even when graph structures are embedded within textual desc…

Contextures: Representations from Contexts

Runtian Zhai, Kai Yang, Che-Ping Tsai +3

Despite the empirical success of foundation models, we do not have a systematic characterization of the representations that these models learn. In this paper, we establish the con…

Spectral Journey: How Transformers Predict the Shortest Path

Andrew Cohen, Andrey Gromov, Kaiyu Yang +1

Decoder-only transformers lead to a step-change in capability of large language models. However, opinions are mixed as to whether they are really planning or reasoning. A path to m…
