REA-RL: Reflection-Aware Online Reinforcement Learning for Efficient Reasoning

ICLR 2026poster

Large Reasoning Models (LRMs) demonstrate strong performance in complex tasks but often face the challenge of *overthinking*, leading to substantially high inference costs. Existing approaches synthesize shorter reasoning responses for LRMs to learn, but are inefficient for online usage due to the t…

APT: Improving Specialist LLM Performance with Weakness Case Acquisition and Iterative Preference Training

ACL 2025finding

Large Language Models (LLMs) often require domain-specific fine-tuning to address targeted tasks, which risks degrading their general capabilities. Maintaining a balance between domain-specific enhancements and general model utility is a key challenge. This paper proposes a novel approach named APT…

AQuilt: Weaving Logic and Self-Inspection into Low-Cost, High-Relevance Data Synthesis for Specialist LLMs

EMNLP 2025

Despite the impressive performance of large language models (LLMs) in general domains, they often underperform in specialized domains. Existing approaches typically rely on data synthesis methods and yield promising results by using unlabeled data to capture domain-specific features. However, these

SeaPO: Strategic Error Amplification for Robust Preference Optimization of Large Language Models

EMNLP 2025

Existing alignment methods for preference optimization of large language models (LLMs) aim to enhance model performance by utilizing pairs of positive and negative samples. However, due to the limited capacity of models in scoring or generating responses, the quality of positive and negative samples

3AM: An Ambiguity-Aware Multi-Modal Machine Translation Dataset

COLING 2024main

Multimodal machine translation (MMT) is a challenging task that seeks to improve translation quality by incorporating visual information. However, recent studies have indicated that the visual information provided by existing MMT datasets is insufficient, causing models to disregard it and overestim…

CommonIT: Commonality-Aware Instruction Tuning for Large Language Models via Data Partitions

EMNLP 2024main

With instruction tuning, Large Language Models (LLMs) can enhance their ability to adhere to commands. Diverging from most works focusing on data mixing, our study concentrates on enhancing the model’s capabilities from the perspective of data sampling during training. Drawing inspiration from the h…

Curriculum Consistency Learning for Conditional Sentence Generation

EMNLP 2024main

Consistency learning (CL) has proven to be a valuable technique for improving the robustness of models in conditional sentence generation (CSG) tasks by ensuring stable predictions across various input data forms. However, models augmented with CL often face challenges in optimizing consistency feat…

Internal and Contextual Attention Network for Cold-start Multi-channel Matching in Recommendation

IJCAI 2020poster

Real-world integrated personalized recommendation systems usually deal with millions of heterogeneous items. It is extremely challenging to conduct full corpus retrieval with complicated models due to the tremendous computation costs. Hence, most large-scale recommendation systems consist of two mod…
