Context-Aware Reaonser : Enhancing Contextual Reasoning in Multimodal Large Language Models

ICML 2026poster

Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have demonstrated remarkable reasoning capabilities over internalized knowledge. However, current research overlooks contextual reasoning, the ability to reason based on the relevant information present in the context. To investigate this issue, we construct …

Mind the Gap: Bridging Thought Leap for Improved Chain-of-Thought Tuning

NeurIPS 2025poster

Large language models (LLMs) have achieved remarkable progress on mathematical tasks through Chain-of-Thought (CoT) reasoning. However, existing mathematical CoT datasets often suffer from **Thought Leaps** due to experts omitting intermediate steps, which negatively impacts model learning and gener…

Scaling LLMs’ Social Reasoning: Sprinkle Cognitive “Aha Moment” into Fundamental Long-thought Logical Capabilities

ACL 2025finding

Humans continually engage in reasoning about others’ mental states, a capability known as Theory of Mind (ToM), is essential for social interactions. While this social reasoning capability emerges naturally in human cognitive development, how has the social reasoning capability of Large Language Mod…

Agent-Pro: Learning to Evolve via Policy-Level Reflection and Optimization

ACL 2024long

Large Language Models (LLMs) exhibit robust problem-solving capabilities for diverse tasks. However, most LLM-based agents are designed as specific task solvers with sophisticated prompt engineering, rather than agents capable of learning and evolving through interactions. These task solvers necessi…

Multimodal Self-Instruct: Synthetic Abstract Image and Visual Reasoning Instruction Using Language Model

EMNLP 2024main

Although most current large multimodal models (LMMs) can already understand photos of natural scenes and portraits, their understanding of abstract images, e.g., charts, maps, or layouts, and visual reasoning capabilities remains quite rudimentary. They often struggle with simple daily tasks, such a…

Progressive Tuning: Towards Generic Sentiment Abilities for Large Language Models

ACL 2024findings

Understanding sentiment is arguably an advanced and important capability of AI agents in the physical world. In previous works, many efforts have been devoted to individual sentiment subtasks, without considering interrelated sentiment knowledge among these subtasks. Although some recent works model…

TimeToM: Temporal Space is the Key to Unlocking the Door of Large Language Models’ Theory-of-Mind

ACL 2024findings

Theory of Mind (ToM)—the cognitive ability to reason about mental states of ourselves and others, is the foundation of social interaction. Although ToM comes naturally to humans, it poses a significant challenge to even the most advanced Large Language Models (LLMs). Due to the complex logical chain…

Enhancing Emotion Recognition in Conversation via Multi-view Feature Alignment and Memorization

EMNLP 2023long findings

Emotion recognition in conversation (ERC) has attracted increasing attention in natural language processing community. Previous work commonly first extract semantic-view features via fine-tuning PLMs, then models context-view features based on the obtained semantic-view features by various graph neu…
