Does Math Reasoning Improve General LLM Capabilities? Understanding Transferability of LLM Reasoning

ICML 2026poster

Math reasoning has become the poster child of progress in large language models (LLMs), with new models rapidly surpassing human-level performance on benchmarks like MATH and AIME. But as math leaderboards improve week by week, it is worth asking: do these gains reflect broader problem-solving abili…

Unlearning Isn't Deletion: Investigating Reversibility of Machine Unlearning in LLMs

ICML 2026poster

Unlearning in large language models (LLMs) aims to remove specified data, but its efficacy is typically assessed with task-level metrics like accuracy and perplexity. We demonstrate that these metrics are often misleading, as models can appear to forget while their original behavior is easily restor…

SecEmb: Sparsity-Aware Secure Federated Learning of On-Device Recommender System with Large Embedding

ICML 2025poster

Federated recommender system (FedRec) has emerged as a solution to protect user data through collaborative training techniques. A typical FedRec involves transmitting the full model and entire weight updates between edge devices and the server, causing significant burdens to edge devices with limite…

Machine Unlearning of Pre-trained Large Language Models

ACL 2024long

This study investigates the concept of the ‘right to be forgotten’ within the context of large language models (LLMs). We explore machine unlearning as a pivotal solution, with a focus on pre-trained models–a notably under-researched area. Our research delineates a comprehensive framework for machin…
