Many Experiments, Few Repetitions, Unpaired Data, and Sparse Effects: Is Causal Inference Possible?

ICML 2026spotlight

In many applications, practical constraints prevent measuring covariates and outcomes on the same units, resulting in unpaired data. We study the problem of estimating causal effects under hidden confounding in the following unpaired data setting: we observe some covariates $X$ and an outcome $Y$ un…

SDGO: Self-Discrimination-Guided Optimization for Consistent Safety in Large Language Models

EMNLP 2025

Large Language Models (LLMs) excel at various natural language processing tasks but remain vulnerable to jailbreaking attacks that induce harmful content generation. In this paper, we reveal a critical safety inconsistency: LLMs can more effectively identify harmful requests as discriminators than d

Why Not Act on What You Know? Unleashing Safety Potential of LLMs via Self-Aware Guard Enhancement

ACL 2025finding

Large Language Models (LLMs) have shown impressive capabilities across various tasks but remain vulnerable to meticulously crafted jailbreak attacks. In this paper, we identify a critical safety gap: while LLMs are adept at detecting jailbreak prompts, they often produce unsafe responses when direct…

A Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing: Generalized Nested Jailbreak Prompts can Fool Large Language Models Easily

NAACL 2024long

Large Language Models (LLMs), such as ChatGPT and GPT-4, are designed to provide useful and safe responses. However, adversarial prompts known as ‘jailbreaks’ can circumvent safeguards, leading LLMs to generate potentially harmful content. Exploring jailbreak prompts can help to better reveal the we…

Entropy-Reinforced Planning with Large Language Models for Drug Discovery

ICML 2024poster

The objective of drug discovery is to identify chemical compounds that possess specific pharmaceutical properties toward a binding target. Existing large language models (LLMS) can achieve high token matching scores in terms of likelihood for molecule generation. However, relying solely on LLM decod…

Unsupervised Learning of Facial Optical Flow via Occlusion-Aware Global-Local Matching

ICASSP 2024accepted

Estimating optical flow from facial videos is an essential preprocessing step for many applications. However, it is a challenging task as the facial videos contain rich expressions, large displacements, and complex occlusions. Obtaining the ground truth optical flow for facial videos is very difficu…
