Eliciting Textual Descriptions from Representations of Continuous Prompts

ACL 2025finding

Continuous prompts, or “soft prompts”, are a widely-adopted parameter-efficient tuning strategy for large language models, but are often less favorable due to their opaque nature. Prior attempts to interpret continuous prompts relied on projecting individual prompt tokens onto the vocabulary space.…

How Well Can Reasoning Models Identify and Recover from Unhelpful Thoughts?

EMNLP 2025

Recent reasoning models show the ability to reflect, backtrack, and self-validate their reasoning, which is crucial in spotting mistakes and arriving at accurate solutions. A natural question that arises is how effectively models can perform such self-reevaluation. We tackle this question by investi

Performance Gap in Entity Knowledge Extraction Across Modalities in Vision Language Models

ACL 2025long

Vision-language models (VLMs) excel at extracting and reasoning about information from images. Yet, their capacity to leverage internal knowledge about specific entities remains underexplored. This work investigates the disparity in model performance when answering factual questions about an entity…

Hopping Too Late: Exploring the Limitations of Large Language Models on Multi-Hop Queries

EMNLP 2024main

Large language models (LLMs) can solve complex multi-step problems, but little is known about how these computations are implemented internally. Motivated by this, we study how LLMs answer multi-hop queries such as “The spouse of the performer of Imagine is”. These queries require two information ex…
