Profiling LLM’s Copyright Infringement Risks under Adversarial Persuasive Prompting

EMNLP 2025

Large Language Models (LLMs) have demonstrated impressive capabilities in text generation but raise concerns regarding potential copyright infringement. While prior research has explored mitigation strategies like content filtering and alignment, the impact of adversarial persuasion techniques in el

SPINACH: SPARQL-Based Information Navigation for Challenging Real-World Questions

EMNLP 2024finding

Large Language Models (LLMs) have led to significant improvements in the Knowledge Base Question Answering (KBQA) task. However, datasets used in KBQA studies do not capture the true complexity of KBQA tasks. They either have simple questions, use synthetically generated logical forms, or are based…

Word Embeddings Are Steers for Language Models

ACL 2024long

Language models (LMs) automatically learn word embeddings during pre-training on language corpora. Although word embeddings are usually interpreted as feature vectors for individual words, their roles in language model generation remain underexplored. In this work, we theoretically and empirically r…

AnaMeta: A Table Understanding Dataset of Field Metadata Knowledge Shared by Multi-dimensional Data Analysis Tasks

ACL 2023findings

Tabular data analysis is performed everyday across various domains. It requires an accurate understanding of field semantics to correctly operate on table fields and find common patterns in daily analysis. In this paper, we introduce the AnaMeta dataset, a collection of 467k tables with derived supe…

Towards Robust Numerical Question Answering: Diagnosing Numerical Capabilities of NLP Systems

EMNLP 2022main

Numerical Question Answering is the task of answering questions that require numerical capabilities. Previous works introduce general adversarial attacks to Numerical Question Answering, while not systematically exploring numerical capabilities specific to the topic. In this paper, we propose to con…
