Despite the impressive reasoning abilities demonstrated by large language models (LLMs), empirical evidence indicates that they are not language agnostic as expected, leading to performance declines in multilingual settings, especially for low-resource languages. We attribute the decline to the mode…
Subject-Driven Text-to-Image (T2I) Generation aims to preserve a subject's identity while editing its context based on a text prompt. A core challenge in this task is the "similarity-controllability paradox", where enhancing textual control often degrades the subject's fidelity, and vice-versa. We a
Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) have recently demonstrated remarkable perceptual and reasoning abilities. However, they struggle to perceive fine-grained geometric structures, constraining their ability of geometric understanding and visual reasoning. To address this, we propose GeoTikzBrid
With the rapid advancement of Large Language Models (LLMs), the safety of LLMs has been a critical concern requiring precise assessment. Current benchmarks primarily concentrate on single-turn dialogues or a single jailbreak attack method to assess the safety. Additionally, these benchmarks have not…
Structured data question answering (QA), including table QA, Knowledge Graph (KG) QA, and temporal KG QA, is a pivotal research area. Advances in large language models (LLMs) have driven significant progress in unified structural QA frameworks like TrustUQA. However, these frameworks face
Recently, Gaussian Splatting has sparked a new trend in the field of computer vision. Apart from novel view synthesis, it has also been extended to the area of multi-view reconstruction. The latest methods facilitate complete, detailed surface reconstruction while ensuring fast training speed. Howev…
Identifying cancer genes is crucial for treatment and understanding pathogenesis. Recent methods typically leverage protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks or gene functional association data from annotated gene sets. There may be some shared neighborhood structure information between these two t…
Transformer has become one of the most popular architectures for multivariate time series (MTS) forecasting. However, existing Transformer-based methods still lack consideration of cross-time-and-channel dependency modeling, which is important to MTS forecasting. In addition, existing methods either…
Large language models (LLMs) exhibit remarkable multilingual capabilities despite the extreme language imbalance in the pre-training data. In this paper, we closely examine the reasons behind this phenomenon, focusing on the pre-training corpus. We find that the existence of code-switching, alternat…
Large-scale pre-trained language models (PLMs) require significant computational resources to train from scratch on large volumes of data. But in the real world, emerging data from diverse sources may not be initially available for pre-training. Recent studies on lifelong learning have tried to solv…
Large Language Models have demonstrated impressive reasoning capabilities across multiple languages. However, the relationship between capabilities in different languages is less explored. In this work, we decompose the process of reasoning tasks into two separated components: knowledge retrieval an…
Large vision language models (LVLMs) have improved the document understanding capabilities remarkably, enabling the handling of complex document elements, longer contexts, and a wider range of tasks. However, existing document understanding benchmarks have been limited to handling only a small numbe…
Large Language Models (LLMs) are often English-centric due to the disproportionate distribution of languages in their pre-training data. Enhancing non-English language capabilities through post-pretraining often results in catastrophic forgetting of high-resource languages. Previous methods either a…
Despite LLMs’ excellent code creation capabilities, multilingual code generation remains extremely challenging. To address this, we intent to improve the multi-programming-lingual (MultiPL) performance of the base LLMs while retaining the most popular ones using restricted computational resources. W
Recent advancements in large language models have revolutionized text generation with their remarkable capabilities. These models can produce controlled texts that closely adhere to specific requirements when prompted appropriately. However, designing an optimal prompt to control multiple attributes…
Applying Large Language Models (LLM) to solve math problems is one of the hottest research topics at present. Traditional Chain-of-Thought-based methods typically generate the reasoning path in a chain structure, leading to unnecessary interference caused by non-zero self-attention among weakly rela…
In recent years, reconstructing indoor scene geometry from multi-view images has achieved encouraging accomplishments. Current methods incorporate monocular priors into neural implicit surface models to achieve high-quality reconstructions. However, these methods require hundreds of images for scene…
Cross-lingual context retrieval (extracting contextual information in one language based on requests in another) is a fundamental aspect of cross-lingual alignment, but the performance and mechanism of it for large language models (LLMs) remains unclear. In this paper, we evaluate the cross-lingual
Active learning (AL) aims to reduce labeling costs by selecting the most valuable samples to annotate from a set of unlabeled data. However, recognizing these samples is particularly challenging in multi-label text classification tasks due to the high dimensionality but sparseness of label spaces. E…
Recently, Large Language Models (LLMs) have shown impressive language capabilities, while most of them have very unbalanced performance across different languages. Multilingual alignment based on the translation parallel data is an effective method to enhance LLMs’ multilingual capabilities. In this…
In extremely low resource relation identification scenario, small language models (SLMs) incline to overfit, which significantly diminishes their accuracy. Recently, large language models (LLMs) are gradually applied to classification tasks with converting original objective into the generation task…
To improve the robustness of pre-trained language models (PLMs), previous studies have focused more on how to efficiently obtain adversarial samples with similar semantics, but less attention has been paid to the perturbed samples that change the gold label. Therefore, to fully perceive the effects…
Effectively encoding layout information is a central problem in structured document understanding. Most existing methods rely heavily on millions of trainable parameters to learn the layout features of each word from Cartesian coordinates. However, two unresolved questions remain: (1) Is the Cartesi…
Early exiting has become a promising approach to im- proving the inference efficiency of deep networks. By structuring models with multiple classifiers (exits), predictions for "easy" samples can be generated at earlier exits, negating the need for executing deeper layers. Current multi-exit network…
Previous contrastive learning methods for sentence representations often focus on insensitive transformations to produce positive pairs, but neglect the role of sensitive transformations that are harmful to semantic representations. Therefore, we propose an Equivariant Self-Contrastive Learning (ESC…
Fine-grained address entity recognition (FGAER) from multi-turn spoken dialogues is particularly challenging. The major reason lies in that a full address is often formed through a conversation process. Different parts of an address are distributed through multiple turns of a dialogue with spoken no…
We tend to assume most available speech corpora we use are either completely clean or completely noised. However, the reality is most of them are a mix of both. In this paper, we propose a semi-supervised speech enhancement framework to enhance such typical speech datasets. This framework includes a…

By constructing classifiers with varying resource demands (the exits), such networks allow easy samples to be output at early exits, removing the need for executing deeper layers. While existing works ma…
