Fixing the Broken Compass: Diagnosing and Improving Inference-Time Reward Modeling

ICLR 2026poster

Inference-time scaling techniques have shown promise in enhancing the reasoning capabilities of large language models (LLMs). While recent research has primarily focused on training-time optimization, our work highlights inference-time reward model (RM)-based reasoning as a critical yet overlooked a…

RAG-RewardBench: Benchmarking Reward Models in Retrieval Augmented Generation for Preference Alignment

ACL 2025finding

Despite the significant progress made by existing retrieval augmented language models (RALMs) in providing trustworthy responses and grounding in reliable sources, they often overlook effective alignment with human preferences. In the alignment process, reward models (RMs) act as a crucial proxy for…

Towards Better Chain-of-Thought: A Reflection on Effectiveness and Faithfulness

ACL 2025finding

Chain-of-thought (CoT) prompting demonstrates varying performance under different reasoning tasks.Previous work attempts to evaluate it but falls short in providing an in-depth analysis of patterns that influence the CoT. In this paper, we study the CoT performance from the perspective of effectiven…

AgentsCourt: Building Judicial Decision-Making Agents with Court Debate Simulation and Legal Knowledge Augmentation

EMNLP 2024finding

With the development of deep learning, natural language processing technology has effectively improved the efficiency of various aspects of the traditional judicial industry. However, most current efforts focus on tasks within individual judicial stages, making it difficult to handle complex tasks t…

Cutting Off the Head Ends the Conflict: A Mechanism for Interpreting and Mitigating Knowledge Conflicts in Language Models

ACL 2024findings

Recently, retrieval augmentation and tool augmentation have demonstrated a remarkable capability to expand the internal memory boundaries of language models (LMs) by providing external context. However, internal memory and external context inevitably clash, leading to knowledge conflicts within LMs.…

Complex Event Schema Induction with Knowledge-Enriched Diffusion Model

EMNLP 2023long findings

The concept of a complex event schema pertains to the graph structure that represents real-world knowledge of events and their multi-dimensional relationships. However, previous studies on event schema induction have been hindered by challenges such as error propagation and data quality issues. To t…

Event Ontology Completion with Hierarchical Structure Evolution Networks

EMNLP 2023long main

Traditional event detection methods require predefined event schemas. However, manually defining event schemas is expensive and the coverage of schemas is limited. To this end, some works study the event type induction (ETI) task, which discovers new event types via clustering. However, the setting…
