Bridging the Language Gap: Uncovering and Aligning Shared Circuits for Multi-Hop Reasoning in Multilingual LLMs

AAAI 2026technical

Large language models (LLMs) present a paradox: they can correctly answer a multi-hop factual query in a high-resource language like English, yet fail on the identical query in another language. This raises a fundamental question about the nature of multilingual knowledge: are facts missing, or mere

Interpreting and Enhancing Emotional Circuits in Large Vision-Language Models via Cross-Modal Information Flow

ICML 2026poster

Large Vision-Language Models (LVLMs) represent a significant leap towards empathetic agents, demonstrating remarkable capabilities in emotion understanding. However, the internal mechanisms governing how LVLMs translate abstract visual stimuli into coherent emotional narratives remain largely unexpl…

Prefill-Time Intervention for Mitigating Hallucination in Large Vision-Language Models

CVPR 2026

Large Vision-Language Models (LVLMs) have achieved remarkable progress in visual-textual understanding, yet their reliability is critically undermined by hallucinations, i.e., the generation of factually incorrect or inconsistent responses.While recent studies using steering vectors demonstrated pro

Tracing the Persona Circuit: How Large Language Models Encode and Express Character Traits

ICML 2026poster

Large Language Models (LLMs) demonstrate remarkable potential in role-playing tasks but frequently suffer from personality decay—termed "Out-of-Character" (OOC) behavior—during prolonged interactions. While heuristic strategies exist to align model behaviors, the internal computational dynamics driv…

UNSEEN: Enhancing Dataset Pruning from a Generalization Perspective

AAAI 2026technical

The growing scale of datasets in deep learning has introduced significant computational challenges. Dataset pruning addresses this challenge by constructing a compact but informative coreset from the full dataset with comparable performance. Previous approaches typically establish scoring metrics ba

Weather-Robust LiDAR Perception: Point Cloud Restoration from Adverse Weather

AAAI 2026technical

Adverse weather conditions—such as rain, fog, and snow—significantly degrade LiDAR point cloud quality, causing substantial performance deterioration in detection models trained on clean data. To address this, we propose LTDNet, a novel point cloud quality improvement net-work that restores degraded

Interpret and Improve In-Context Learning via the Lens of Input-Label Mappings

ACL 2025long

Large language models (LLMs) excel at downstream NLP tasks through in-context learning (ICL) with a few demonstrations of input–label pairs. However, the internal mechanisms behind ICL remain under-explored, particularly the mappings between inputs and labels. In this work, we reverse-engineer ICL b…

Towards Lightweight Black-Box Attack Against Deep Neural Networks

NeurIPS 2022accept

Black-box attacks can generate adversarial examples without accessing the parameters of target model, largely exacerbating the threats of deployed deep neural networks (DNNs). However, previous works state that black-box attacks fail to mislead target models when their training data and outputs are…
