Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly used for question answering over scientific research papers. Existing retrieval augmentation methods often rely on isolated text chunks or concepts, but overlook deeper semantic connections between papers. This impairs the LLM's comprehension of scientif…
Large Language Models (LLMs) excel in various domains, but their safe deployment faces the challenge of balancing safety and utility. Existing alignment strategies often strengthen refusal mechanisms to reduce harmful outputs, but harmless instructions with superficial risky words are mistakenly rej…
Large language models (LLMs) are known to suffer from severe hallucination issues. One of the main causes lies in the knowledge misalignment between the pre-training stage and the supervised fine-tuning stage. The unfamiliar knowledge encountered during fine-tuning may encourage LLMs to generate fac…
Large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated remarkable performance on various medical benchmarks, but their capabilities across different cognitive levels remain underexplored. Inspired by Bloom's Taxonomy, we propose a multi-cognitive-level evaluation framework for assessing LLMs in the medical…
Inconsistent hallucinations remain a major challenge for large language models (LLMs), undermining the accuracy and reliability of fact-based reasoning in real-world applications. Existing approaches often rely on task-specific training or adaptation, such as hand-crafted synthetic datasets for doma…
Research is a fundamental process driving the advancement of human civilization, yet it demands substantial time and effort from researchers. In recent years, the rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies has inspired researchers to explore how AI can accelerate and enhance rese
Ensuring contextual faithfulness in retrieval-augmented large language models (LLMs) is crucial for building trustworthy information-seeking systems, particularly in long-form question-answering (LFQA) scenarios. In this work, we identify a salient correlation between LFQA faithfulness and retrieval…
Large Language Models (LLMs) are expected to possess comprehensive medical knowledge to support real-world clinical applications. While domain-specific fine-tuning effectively injects medical knowledge into LLMs, it often causes catastrophic forgetting of previously acquired knowledge and instructio…
Large language models (LLMs) have shown remarkable achievements across various language tasks. To enhance the performance of LLMs in scientific literature services, we developed the scientific literature LLM (SciLit-LLM) through pre-training and supervised fine-tuning on scientific literature, build…
Addressing the issues of who saying what to whom in multi-party conversations (MPCs) has recently attracted a lot of research attention. However, existing methods on MPC understanding typically embed interlocutors and utterances into sequential information flows, or utilize only the superficial of i…
The Chinese text correction (CTC) focuses on detecting and correcting Chinese spelling errors and grammatical errors. Most existing datasets of Chinese spelling check (CSC) and Chinese grammatical error correction (GEC) are focused on a single sentence written by Chinese-as-a-second-language (CSL) l…
Owing to the continuous efforts by the Chinese NLP community, more and more Chinese machine reading comprehension datasets become available. To add diversity in this area, in this paper, we propose a new task called Sentence Cloze-style Machine Reading Comprehension (SC-MRC). The proposed task aims…
Most pre-trained language models (PLMs) construct word representations at subword level with Byte-Pair Encoding (BPE) or its variations, by which OOV (out-of-vocab) words are almost avoidable. However, those methods split a word into subword units and make the representation incomplete and fragile.…
The universal speech attributes for speaker verification (SV) are addressed in this paper. The aim of this work is to exploit fundamental characteristics across different speakers within the deep neural network (DNN)/i-vector framework. The manner and place of articulation form the fundamental speec…
Speaker diarization in noisy conditions is addressed in this paper. The regression-based DNN is first adopted to map the noisy acoustic features to the clean features, and then consensus clustering of the original and mapped features is used to fuse the diarization results. The experiments are condu…
