ParamMute: Suppressing Knowledge-Critical FFNs for Faithful Retrieval-Augmented Generation

Pengcheng Huang, Zhenghao Liu, Yukun Yan +8

Large language models (LLMs) integrated with retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) have improved factuality by grounding outputs in external evidence. However, they remain susceptib…

From Holistic Evaluation to Structured Criteria: Rubrics Across the Evolving LLM Landscape

Hao Chen, Ziyu Han, Yukun Yan +3

As Large Language Models (LLMs) advance toward open-ended autonomous agents, the mechanisms used to evaluate and guide their behavior must evolve accordingly. This work introduces…
