Order Matters: Investigate the Position Bias in Multi-constraint Instruction Following

ACL 2025finding

Real-world instructions with multiple constraints pose a significant challenge to existing large language models (LLMs). An observation is that the LLMs exhibit dramatic performance fluctuation when disturbing the order of the incorporated constraints. Yet, none of the existing works has systematica…

Step-by-Step Mastery: Enhancing Soft Constraint Following Ability of Large Language Models

ACL 2025finding

It is crucial for large language models (LLMs) to follow instructions that involve multiple constraints. In real-world scenarios, user instructions often contain soft constraints, which are semantically related and cannot be rule-based verified, posing challenges for LLMs. To enhance the soft constr…

Can Large Language Models Understand Real-World Complex Instructions?

AAAI 2024technical

Large language models (LLMs) can understand human instructions, showing their potential for pragmatic applications beyond traditional NLP tasks. However, they still struggle with complex instructions, which can be either complex task descriptions that require multiple tasks and constraints, or compl…

From Complex to Simple: Enhancing Multi-Constraint Complex Instruction Following Ability of Large Language Models

EMNLP 2024finding

It is imperative for Large language models (LLMs) to follow instructions with elaborate requirements (i.e. Complex Instructions Following). Yet, it remains under-explored how to enhance the ability of LLMs to follow complex instructions with multiple constraints. To bridge the gap, we initially stud…

Self-Training with Pseudo-Label Scorer for Aspect Sentiment Quad Prediction

ACL 2024long

Aspect Sentiment Quad Prediction (ASQP) aims to predict all quads (aspect term, aspect category, opinion term, sentiment polarity) for a given review, which is the most representative and challenging task in aspect-based sentiment analysis. A key challenge in the ASQP task is the scarcity of labeled…
