Knowledge Externalization: Reversible Unlearning and Modular Retrieval in Multimodal Large Language Models

ICLR 2026poster

Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) achieve remarkable cross-modal understanding by training on vast web-scale datasets, but inadvertently internalize sensitive personal and proprietary information. Existing machine unlearning methods address this by irreversibly altering model parameters to pe…

Your Latent Reasoning is Secretly Policy Improvement Operator

ICML 2026poster

Recently, small models with latent recursion have obtained promising results on complex reasoning tasks. These results are typically explained by the theory that such recursion increases a network’s depth, allowing it to compactly emulate the capacity of larger models. However, the performance of re…

HD-NDEs: Neural Differential Equations for Hallucination Detection in LLMs

ACL 2025long

In recent years, large language models (LLMs) have made remarkable advancements, yet hallucination, where models produce inaccurate or non-factual statements, remains a significant challenge for real-world deployment. Although current classification-based methods, such as SAPLMA, are highly efficien…

Internal Activation Revision: Safeguarding Vision Language Models Without Parameter Update

AAAI 2025technical

Warning: This paper contains offensive content that may disturb some readers. Vision-language models (VLMs) demonstrate strong multimodal capabilities but have been found to be more susceptible to generating harmful content compared to their backbone large language models (LLMs). Our investigation r…

VSCBench: Bridging the Gap in Vision-Language Model Safety Calibration

ACL 2025finding

The rapid advancement of vision-language models (VLMs) has brought a lot of attention to their safety alignment. However, existing methods have primarily focused on model undersafety, where the model responds to hazardous queries, while neglecting oversafety, where the model refuses to answer safe q…

Reference-free Hallucination Detection for Large Vision-Language Models

EMNLP 2024finding

Large vision-language models (LVLMs) have made significant progress in recent years. While LVLMs exhibit excellent ability in language understanding, question answering, and conversations of visual inputs, they are prone to producing hallucinations. While several methods are proposed to evaluate the…

Robustly Train Normalizing Flows via KL Divergence Regularization

AAAI 2024technical

In this paper, we find that the training of Normalizing Flows (NFs) are easily affected by the outliers and a small number (or high dimensionality) of training samples. To solve this problem, we propose a Kullback–Leibler (KL) divergence regularization on the Jacobian matrix of NFs. We prove that su…
