Large vision-language models (LVLMs) achieve strong performance on visual reasoning tasks but remain highly susceptible to hallucination. Existing detection methods predominantly rely on coarse, whole-image measures of how an object token relates to the input image. This global strategy is limited:
Sentence representations are foundational to many Natural Language Processing (NLP) applications. While recent methods leverage Large Language Models (LLMs) to derive sentence representations, most rely on final-layer hidden states, which are optimized for next-token prediction and thus often fail t…
Text representation plays a critical role in tasks like clustering, retrieval, and other downstream applications. With the emergence of large language models (LLMs), there is increasing interest in harnessing their capabilities for this purpose. However, most of the LLMs are inherently causal and op
KV Cache is commonly used to accelerate LLM inference with long contexts, yet its high memory demand drives the need for cache compression. Existing compression methods, however, are largely heuristic and lack dynamic budget allocation. To address this limitation, we introduce a unified framework fo
As machine learning (ML) application continues to expand across diverse fields, there is a rising demand for ML code generation. In this paper, we aim at a critical research question: Can machines autonomously generate ML code for sophisticated, human-designed algorithms or solutions? To answer this
In open-domain Question Answering (QA), dense text retrieval is crucial for finding relevant passages to generate answers. Typically, contrastive learning is used to train a retrieval model, which maps passages and queries to the same semantic space, making similar ones closer and dissimilar ones fu…
Multi-document grounded dialogue systems (DGDS) belong to a class of conversational agents that answer users’ requests by finding supporting knowledge from a collection of documents. Most previous studies aim to improve the knowledge retrieval model or propose more effective ways to incorporate exte…
