Assistant-Guided Mitigation of Teacher Preference Bias in LLM-as-a-Judge

EMNLP 2025

LLM-as-a-Judge employs large language models (LLMs), such as GPT-4, to evaluate the quality of LLM-generated responses, gaining popularity for its cost-effectiveness and strong alignment with human evaluations. However, training proxy judge models using evaluation data generated by powerful teacher

Counterfactual Debating with Preset Stances for Hallucination Elimination of LLMs

COLING 2025main

Large Language Models (LLMs) excel in various natural language processing tasks but struggle with hallucination issues. Existing solutions have considered utilizing LLMs’ inherent reasoning abilities to alleviate hallucination, such as self-correction and diverse sampling methods. However, these met…

HellaSwag-Pro: A Large-Scale Bilingual Benchmark for Evaluating the Robustness of LLMs in Commonsense Reasoning

ACL 2025finding

Large language models (LLMs) have shown remarkable capabilities in commonsense reasoning; however, some variations in questions can trigger incorrect responses. Do these models truly understand commonsense knowledge, or just memorize expression patterns? To investigate this question, we present the…

Knowledge Boundary of Large Language Models: A Survey

ACL 2025long

Although large language models (LLMs) store vast amount of knowledge in their parameters, they still have limitations in the memorization and utilization of certain knowledge, leading to undesired behaviors such as generating untruthful and inaccurate responses. This highlights the critical need to…

Self-Improvement Towards Pareto Optimality: Mitigating Preference Conflicts in Multi-Objective Alignment

ACL 2025finding

Multi-Objective Alignment (MOA) aims to align LLMs’ responses with multiple human preference objectives, with Direct Preference Optimization (DPO) emerging as a prominent approach. However, we find that DPO-based MOA approaches suffer from widespread preference conflicts in the data, where different…

Doc2SoarGraph: Discrete Reasoning over Visually-Rich Table-Text Documents via Semantic-Oriented Hierarchical Graphs

COLING 2024main

Table-text document (e.g., financial reports) understanding has attracted increasing attention in recent two years. TAT-DQA is a realistic setting for the understanding of visually-rich table-text documents, which involves answering associated questions requiring discrete reasoning. Most existing wo…

Don’t Just Say “I don’t know”! Self-aligning Large Language Models for Responding to Unknown Questions with Explanations

EMNLP 2024main

Despite the remarkable abilities of Large Language Models (LLMs) to answer questions, they often display a considerable level of overconfidence even when the question does not have a definitive answer. To avoid providing hallucinated answers to these unknown questions, existing studies typically inv…

Dual-Phase Accelerated Prompt Optimization

EMNLP 2024finding

Gradient-free prompt optimization methods have made significant strides in enhancing the performance of closed-source Large Language Model (LLMs) across a wide range of tasks. However, existing approaches make light of the importance of high-quality prompt initialization and the identification of ef…

Think Twice Before Trusting: Self-Detection for Large Language Models through Comprehensive Answer Reflection

EMNLP 2024finding

Self-detection for Large Language Models (LLMs) seeks to evaluate the trustworthiness of the LLM’s output by leveraging its own capabilities, thereby alleviating the issue of output hallucination. However, existing self-detection approaches only retrospectively evaluate answers generated by LLM, typ…

Hypothetical Training for Robust Machine Reading Comprehension of Tabular Context

ACL 2023findings

Machine Reading Comprehension (MRC) models easily learn spurious correlations from complex contexts such as tabular data. Counterfactual training—using the factual and counterfactual data by augmentation—has become a promising solution. However, it is costly to construct faithful counterfactual exam…

Robust Prompt Optimization for Large Language Models Against Distribution Shifts

EMNLP 2023long main

Large Language Model (LLM) has demonstrated significant ability in various Natural Language Processing tasks. However, their effectiveness is highly dependent on the phrasing of the task prompt, leading to research on automatic prompt optimization using labeled task data. We reveal that these prompt…

Learning to Imagine: Integrating Counterfactual Thinking in Neural Discrete Reasoning

ACL 2022long

Neural discrete reasoning (NDR) has shown remarkable progress in combining deep models with discrete reasoning. However, we find that existing NDR solution suffers from large performance drop on hypothetical questions, e.g. “what the annualized rate of return would be if the revenue in 2020 was doub…
