Spatiotemporal Graph Learning (SGL) under Zero-Inflated Distribution (ZID) is crucial for urban risk management tasks, including crime prediction and traffic accident profiling. However, SGL models are vulnerable to adversarial attacks, compromising their practical utility. While adversarial trainin…
Personality identification plays important roles in understanding user behavior and offering foresight ability for downstream applications. The key challenge is how to address the scarcity of labeled personality data. Recently, some studies have adopted data augmentation and prompt learning to perfo…
Continual Pre-Training (CPT) has become a popular and effective method to apply strong foundation models to specific downstream tasks. In this work, we explore the **learning dynamics** throughout the CPT process for large language models (LLMs). We specifically focus on how general and downstream…
Large language models (LLMs) have achieved significant progress in mathematical reasoning, especially in elementary math. However, they remain indisposed on tackling complex questions at high-school or college levels, which put forward a more advanced requirement of mastering relevant mathematical t…
Positional bias (PB), manifesting as non-uniform sensitivity across different contextual locations, significantly impairs long-context comprehension and processing capabilities. Previous studies have addressed PB either by modifying the underlying architectures or by employing extensive contextual a
Social media platforms has long served as open arenas where individuals discuss and change their opinions on various events, subsequently influencing the progression of these events. Public opinion, recognized as an important social signal, is instrumental in understanding the developmental patterns…
Recent advances in handling long sequences have unlocked new possibilities for long-context in-context learning (ICL). While existing research predominantly focuses on performance gains driven by additional in-context examples, the impact on the trustworthiness of generated responses remains underex…
Stance detection aims to identify the attitudes toward specific targets from text, which is an important research area in text mining and social media analytics. Existing research is mainly conducted in monolingual setting on English datasets. To tackle the data scarcity problem in low-resource lang…
Many works recently have focused on computing optimal solutions for the ex ante coordination of a team for solving sequential adversarial team games, where a team of players coordinate against an opponent (or a team of players) in a zero-sum extensive-form game. However, it is challenging to directl…
In this paper, we investigate whether Large Language Models (LLMs) actively recall or retrieve their internal repositories of factual knowledge when faced with reasoning tasks. Through an analysis of LLMs’ internal factual recall at each reasoning step via Knowledge Neurons, we reveal that LLMs fail…
With the rapid development of large language models (LLMs), it is highly demanded that LLMs can be adopted to make decisions to enable the artificial general intelligence. Most approaches leverage manually crafted examples to prompt the LLMs to imitate the decision process of human. However, design…
Metaphor detection is an important and challenging task in natural language processing, which aims to distinguish between metaphorical and literal expressions in text. Previous studies mainly leverage the incongruity of source and target domains and contextual clues for detection, neglecting similar…
