Measuring Physical-World Privacy Awareness of Large Language Models: An Evaluation Benchmark

ICLR 2026poster

The deployment of Large Language Models (LLMs) in embodied agents creates an urgent need to measure their privacy awareness in the physical world. Existing evaluation methods, however, are confined to natural language based scenarios. To bridge this gap, we introduce EAPrivacy, a comprehensive evalu…

On Information Self-Locking in Reinforcement Learning for Active Reasoning

ICML 2026poster

Reinforcement learning (RL) with outcome-based rewards has achieved significant success in training large language model (LLM) agents for complex reasoning tasks. However, in active reasoning where agents need to strategically ask questions to acquire task-relevant information, we find that LLM agen…

Reducing Belief Deviation in Reinforcement Learning for Active Reasoning

ICLR 2026oral

Active reasoning requires large language models (LLMs) to interact with external sources and strategically gather information to solve problems. Central to this process is belief tracking: maintaining a coherent understanding of the problem state and the missing information toward the solution. Howe…

Graph-KV: Breaking Sequence via Injecting Structural Biases into Large Language Models

NeurIPS 2025poster

Modern large language models (LLMs) are inherently auto-regressive, requiring input to be serialized into flat sequences regardless of their structural dependencies. This serialization hinders the model’s ability to leverage structural inductive biases, especially in tasks such as retrieval-augmente…

LayerDAG: A Layerwise Autoregressive Diffusion Model for Directed Acyclic Graph Generation

ICLR 2025spotlight

Directed acyclic graphs (DAGs) serve as crucial data representations in domains such as hardware synthesis and compiler/program optimization for computing systems. DAG generative models facilitate the creation of synthetic DAGs, which can be used for benchmarking computing systems while preserving i…

Simple is Effective: The Roles of Graphs and Large Language Models in Knowledge-Graph-Based Retrieval-Augmented Generation

ICLR 2025poster

Large Language Models (LLMs) demonstrate strong reasoning abilities but face limitations such as hallucinations and outdated knowledge. Knowledge Graph (KG)-based Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) addresses these issues by grounding LLM outputs in structured external knowledge from KGs. However,…

Towards Synergistic Path-based Explanations for Knowledge Graph Completion: Exploration and Evaluation

ICLR 2025poster

Knowledge graph completion (KGC) aims to alleviate the inherent incompleteness of knowledge graphs (KGs), a crucial task for numerous applications such as recommendation systems and drug repurposing. The success of knowledge graph embedding (KGE) models provokes the question about the explainability…

Underestimated Privacy Risks for Minority Populations in Large Language Model Unlearning

ICML 2025poster

Large Language Models (LLMs) embed sensitive, human-generated data, prompting the need for unlearning methods. Although certified unlearning offers strong privacy guarantees, its restrictive assumptions make it unsuitable for LLMs, giving rise to various heuristic approaches typically assessed throu…
