Due to the sheer size of software logs, developers rely on automated log analysis. Log parsing, which parses semi-structured logs into a structured format, is a prerequisite of automated log analysis. However, existing log parsers are unsatisfactory when applied in practice because they 1) ignore ca…
Log parsing converts semi-structured logs into structured templates, forming a critical foundation for downstream analysis. Traditional syntax and semantic-based parsers often struggle with semantic variations in evolving logs and data scarcity stemming from their limited domain coverage. Recent lar
Code-related benchmarks play a critical role in evaluating large language models (LLMs), yet their quality fundamentally shapes how the com- munity interprets model capabilities. In the past few years, awareness of benchmark quality has grown. Yet, after a decade-scale (2014 - 2025) survey over 572 …
The SWE-Bench Verified leaderboard is approaching saturation, with the top system achieving 78.80\%. However, we reveal that this performance is inflated: our re-evaluation demonstrates that one in five "solved" patches from the top-30 agents are semantically incorrect, passing only because weak tes…
Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) are increasingly deployed in stateless systems, such as autonomous driving and robotics. This paper investigates a novel threat: Semantic-Aware Hijacking. We explore the feasibility of hijacking multiple stateless decisions simultaneously using a single unive…
In the world of Harry Potter, when Dumbledore's mind is overburdened, he extracts memories into a Pensieve to be revisited later. In the world of AI, while we possess the Pensieve—mature databases and retrieval systems, our models inexplicably lack the "wand" to operate it. They remain like a Dumble…
Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) have expanded the capabilities of traditional language models by enabling interaction through both text and images. However, ensuring the safety of these models remains a significant challenge, particularly in accurately identifying whether multimodal content…
This paper explores the problem of commonsense level vision-knowledge conflict in Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs), where visual information contradicts model’s internal commonsense knowledge. To study this issue, we introduce an automated framework, augmented with human-in-the-loop quality…
Large language models (LLMs) are driving substantial advancements in software engineering, with successful applications like Copilot and Cursor transforming real-world development practices. However, current research predominantly focuses on the early stages of development, such as code generation,…
This study addresses a critical gap in safety tuning practices for Large Language Models (LLMs) by identifying and tackling a refusal position bias within safety tuning data, which compromises the models’ ability to appropriately refuse generating unsafe content. We introduce a novel approach, Decou…
LLMs are evolving into assistants that leverage tools, significantly expanding their capabilities but also introducing critical safety risks. Current models exhibit notable vulnerabilities, particularly in maintaining safety during multi-step tool interactions and in scenarios involving indirect har
Human safety awareness gaps often prevent the timely recognition of everyday risks. In solving this problem, a proactive safety artificial intelligence (AI) system would work better than a reactive one. Instead of just reacting to users' questions, it would actively watch people’s behavior and their…
Large Language Models (LLMs) show great promise in complex reasoning, with Reinforcement Learning with Verifiable Rewards (RLVR) being a key enhancement strategy. However, a prevalent issue is ``superficial self-reflection'', where models fail to robustly verify their own outputs. We introduce RISE…
The advent of Large Language Models (LLMs) has spurred the development of coding agents for real-world code generation.As a widely used benchmark for evaluating the code generation capabilities of these agents, SWE-Bench uses real-world problems based on GitHub issues and their corresponding pull re…
Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) demonstrate a strong understanding of the real world and can even handle complex tasks. However, they still fail on some straightforward visual question-answering (VQA) problems. This paper dives deeper into this issue, revealing that models tend to err when…
Recently, ChatGPT has demonstrated remarkable performance in various downstream tasks such as open-domain question answering, machine translation, and code generation. As a general-purpose task solver, an intriguing inquiry arises: Does ChatGPT itself know that it does not know, without any access t…
Safety lies at the core of the development of Large Language Models (LLMs). There is ample work on aligning LLMs with human ethics and preferences, including data filtering in pretraining, supervised fine-tuning, reinforcement learning from human feedback, red teaming, etc. In this study, we discove…
We introduce LogicAsker, a novel approach for evaluating and enhancing the logical reasoning capabilities of large language models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT and GPT-4. Despite LLMs’ prowess in tasks like writing assistance, code generation, and machine translation, assessing their ability to reason has…
