Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) grounds large language models with external evidence, but many implementations rely on pre-built indices that remain static after construction. Related queries therefore repeat similar multi-hop traversal, increasing latency and compute. Motivated by \emph{schema…
Recent progress in large language models (LLMs) has outpaced the development of effective evaluation methods. Evaluating LLMs with static, task-specific benchmarks is increasingly fragile due to contamination and saturation, and it fails to capture interactive reasoning. We introduce Teach2Eval, whi…
Large language models (LLMs) excel in natural language generation but also exhibit biases, particularly in gender, race, and religion, which can be amplified with widespread use. However, research on biases in specific domains, such as finance, remains limited. To address this gap, we conducted a co…
Federated Learning (FL) allows multiple participants to train models together while keeping their data private. Some FL frameworks use Knowledge Distillation to address model heterogenity, but many struggle in non-IID and heterogeneous environments, making it hard for clients to learn from each othe…
Federated learning (FL) enables collaborative model training across distributed clients while preserving data privacy. However, achieving both acceleration and stability, particularly on the client side, remains a challenge. In this paper, we introduce FedCAda, an adaptive algorithm that leverages a…
Federated graph learning (FGL) empowers distributed training of subgraphs across multiple institutions, overcoming the challenges of data silos and inter-institutional data sharing. Existing federated subgraph methods achieve collaborative training by training local models on clients and uploading t…
Quantitative stock selection is one of the most challenging FinTech tasks due to the non-stationary dynamics and complex market dependencies. Existing studies rely on channel mixing methods, exacerbating the issue of distribution shift in financial time series. Additionally, complex model structures…
While current tasks of converting natural language to SQL (NL2SQL) using Foundation Models have shown impressive achievements, adapting these approaches for converting natural language to Graph Query Language (NL2GQL) encounters hurdles due to the distinct nature of GQL compared to SQL, alongside th…
