Awakening Visual Reasoning: Mitigating Post-Training Failure in Vision-Text Compression

ICML 2026poster

Vision-Text Compression (VTC) offers a scalable path for long-context multimodal modeling by rendering textual data into dense visual tokens. While recent Vision-Language Models (VLMs) demonstrate high decoding fidelity (OCR) on such inputs, they exhibit a severe reasoning gap: models that reason ro…

From Parameters to Data: A Task-Parameter-Guided Fine-Tuning Pipeline for Efficient LLM Alignment

ICML 2026poster

Adapting Large Language Models (LLMs) to specialized domains typically incurs high data and computational overhead. While prior efficiency efforts have largely treated data selection and parameter-efficient fine-tuning as isolated processes, our empirical analysis suggests they may be intrinsically …

LongTableBench: Benchmarking Long-Context Table Reasoning across Real-World Formats and Domains

EMNLP 2025

We introduce LongTableBench , a benchmark for evaluating long-context reasoning over semi-structured tables across diverse formats, tasks, and domains. It comprises 5,950 QA instances spanning 7 table formats (e.g., Markdown, HTML, SQL), 18 domains, and input lengths up to 128K tokens, including mul

Data Contamination Calibration for Black-box LLMs

ACL 2024findings

The rapid advancements of Large Language Models (LLMs) tightly associate with the expansion of the training data size. However, the unchecked ultra-large-scale training sets introduce a series of potential risks like data contamination, i.e. the benchmark data is used for training. In this work, we…

Learning a Data-Driven Policy Network for Pre-Training Automated Feature Engineering

ICLR 2023top-25%

Feature engineering is widely acknowledged to be pivotal in tabular data analysis and prediction. Automated feature engineering (AutoFE) emerged to automate this process managed by experienced data scientists and engineers conventionally. In this area, most — if not all — prior work adopted an ident…
