Bringing Code ALIVE: Optimizing Interactive Frontend Mini-Games via Automated Play and Reinforcement Learning at Scale

ICML 2026poster

The rapid evolution of Large Language Models (LLMs) has empowered even non-programmers to create visually appealing frontend mini-games with a single instruction. However, open-source models significantly lag behind proprietary counterparts in this domain. The core bottleneck is the lack of an evalu…

SWE-RM: Execution-free Feedback for Software Engineering Agents

ICLR 2026poster

Execution-based feedback like unit testing is widely used in the development of coding agents through test-time scaling (TTS) and reinforcement learning (RL). This paradigm requires scalable and reliable collection of unit test cases to provide accurate feedback, and the resulting feedback is often…

Predictive Data Selection: The Data That Predicts Is the Data That Teaches

ICML 2025poster

Language model pretraining involves training on extensive corpora, where data quality plays a pivotal role. In this work, we aim to directly estimate the contribution of data during pretraining and select pretraining data in an efficient manner. Specifically, we draw inspiration from recent findings…

Unmasking Deceptive Visuals: Benchmarking Multimodal Large Language Models on Misleading Chart Question Answering

EMNLP 2025

Misleading visualizations, which manipulate chart representations to support specific claims, can distort perception and lead to incorrect conclusions. Despite decades of research, they remain a widespread issue, posing risks to public understanding and raising safety concerns for AI systems involve

FIRST: Teach A Reliable Large Language Model Through Efficient Trustworthy Distillation

EMNLP 2024main

Large language models (LLMs) have become increasingly prevalent in our daily lives, leading to an expectation for LLMs to be trustworthy —- both accurate and well-calibrated (the prediction confidence should align with its ground truth correctness likelihood). Nowadays, fine-tuning has become the mo…

LMFlow: An Extensible Toolkit for Finetuning and Inference of Large Foundation Models

NAACL 2024system demonstrations

Foundation models have demonstrated a great ability to achieve general human-level intelligence far beyond traditional approaches. As the technique keeps attracting attention from the AI community, more and more foundation models have become publicly available.However, most of those models exhibit a…

Plum: Prompt Learning using Metaheuristics

ACL 2024findings

Since the emergence of large language models, prompt learning has become a popular method for optimizing and customizing these models. Special prompts, such as Chain-of-Thought, have even revealed previously unknown reasoning capabilities within these models. However, the progress of discovering eff…

RAGTruth: A Hallucination Corpus for Developing Trustworthy Retrieval-Augmented Language Models

ACL 2024long

Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) has become a main technique for alleviating hallucinations in large language models (LLMs). Despite the integration of RAG, LLMs may still present unsupported or contradictory claims to the retrieved contents. In order to develop effective hallucination preventio…

Automatic Prompt Augmentation and Selection with Chain-of-Thought from Labeled Data

EMNLP 2023long findings

Chain-of-thought (CoT) advances the reasoning abilities of large language models (LLMs) and achieves superior performance in complex reasoning tasks. However, most CoT studies rely on carefully designed human-annotated rational chains to prompt LLMs, posing challenges for real-world applications whe…
