Benchmarking LLMs for Political Science: A United Nations Perspective

AAAI 2026technical

Large Language Models (LLMs) have achieved significant advances in natural language processing, yet their potential for high-stake political decision-making remains largely unexplored. This paper addresses the gap by focusing on the application of LLMs to the United Nations (UN) decision-making proc

Entropy-Based Block Pruning for Efficient Large Language Models

ICLR 2026poster

As large language models continue to scale, their growing computational and storage demands pose significant challenges for real-world deployment. In this work, we investigate redundancy within Transformer-based models and propose an entropy-based pruning strategy to enhance efficiency while maintai…

Position: Vector Prompt Interfaces Should Be Exposed to Enable Customization of Large Language Models

ICML 2026poster

As large language models (LLMs) transition from research prototypes to real-world systems, customization has emerged as a central bottleneck. While text prompts can already customize LLM behavior, we argue that text-only prompting does not constitute a suitable control interface for scalable, stable…

PersonaBench: Evaluating AI Models on Understanding Personal Information through Accessing (Synthetic) Private User Data

ACL 2025finding

Personalization is essential for AI assistants, especially in private AI settings where models are expected to interpret users’ personal data (e.g., conversations, app usage) to understand their background, preferences, and social context. However, due to privacy concerns, existing academic research…

Taxonomy-Guided Zero-Shot Recommendations with LLMs

COLING 2025main

With the emergence of large language models (LLMs) and their ability to perform a variety of tasks, their application in recommender systems (RecSys) has shown promise. However, we are facing significant challenges when deploying LLMs into RecSys, such as limited prompt length, unstructured item inf…
