The Imitation Game: Turing Machine Imitator is Length Generalizable Reasoner

ICLR 2026poster

Length generalization, the ability to solve problems of longer sequences than those observed during training, poses a core challenge of Transformer-based large language models (LLMs). Although existing studies have predominantly focused on data-driven approaches for particular arithmetic operations…

ThoughtFold: Folding Reasoning Chains via Introspective Preference Learning

ICML 2026poster

Large Reasoning Models (LRMs) have achieved remarkable progress thanks to Reinforcement Learning with Verifiable Rewards (RLVR) on Chain-of-Thoughts (CoTs). However, since long CoTs naturally contain trial and errors and mainstream RLVR approaches choose outcome-correct CoT trajectories for memoriza…

CompassVerifier: A Unified and Robust Verifier for LLMs Evaluation and Outcome Reward

EMNLP 2025

Answer verification is crucial not only for evaluating large language models (LLMs) by matching their unstructured outputs against standard answers, but also serves as the reward model to guide LLM optimization. Most evaluation frameworks rely on regularized matching or employ general LLMs for answe

Mask-DPO: Generalizable Fine-grained Factuality Alignment of LLMs

ICLR 2025poster

Large language models (LLMs) exhibit hallucinations (i.e., unfaithful or nonsensical information) when serving as AI assistants in various domains. Since hallucinations always come with truthful content in the LLM responses, previous factuality alignment methods that conduct response-level preferenc…

Pre-Trained Policy Discriminators are General Reward Models

NeurIPS 2025poster

We offer a novel perspective on reward modeling by formulating it as a policy discriminator, which quantifies the difference between two policies to generate a reward signal, guiding the training policy towards a target policy with desired behaviors. Based on this conceptual insight, we propose a sc…

Training Language Models to Critique With Multi-agent Feedback

EMNLP 2025

Critique ability, a meta-cognitive capability of humans, presents significant challenges for LLMs to improve. While utilizing human annotation can enhance critique ability effectively, most recent works primarily rely on supervised fine-tuning (SFT) using critiques generated by a single LLM like GPT

ANAH-v2: Scaling Analytical Hallucination Annotation of Large Language Models

NeurIPS 2024poster

Large language models (LLMs) exhibit hallucinations in long-form question-answering tasks across various domains and wide applications. Current hallucination detection and mitigation datasets are limited in domain and size, which struggle to scale due to prohibitive labor costs and insufficient reli…

ANAH: Analytical Annotation of Hallucinations in Large Language Models

ACL 2024long

Reducing the ‘hallucination' problem of Large Language Models (LLMs) is crucial for their wide applications. A comprehensive and fine-grained measurement of the hallucination is the first key step for the governance of this issue but is under-explored in the community.Thus, we present ANAH, a biling…

AlchemistCoder: Harmonizing and Eliciting Code Capability by Hindsight Tuning on Multi-source Data

NeurIPS 2024poster

Open-source Large Language Models (LLMs) and their specialized variants, particularly Code LLMs, have recently delivered impressive performance. However, previous Code LLMs are typically fine-tuned on single-source data with limited quality and diversity, which may insufficiently elicit the potentia…

Fake Alignment: Are LLMs Really Aligned Well?

NAACL 2024long

The growing awareness of safety concerns in large language models (LLMs) has sparked considerable interest in the evaluation of safety. This study investigates an under-explored issue about the evaluation of LLMs, namely the substantial discrepancy in performance between multiple-choice questions an…

Consistent-Teacher: Towards Reducing Inconsistent Pseudo-Targets in Semi-Supervised Object Detection

CVPR 2023highlight

In this study, we dive deep into the inconsistency of pseudo targets in semi-supervised object detection (SSOD). Our core observation is that the oscillating pseudo-targets undermine the training of an accurate detector. It injects noise into the student's training, leading to severe overfitting pro…

Dense Distinct Query for End-to-End Object Detection

CVPR 2023poster

One-to-one label assignment in object detection has successfully obviated the need of non-maximum suppression (NMS) as a postprocessing and makes the pipeline end-to-end. However, it triggers a new dilemma as the widely used sparse queries cannot guarantee a high recall, while dense queries inevitab…
