Next-ToBE: Probabilistic Next Token-Bag Exploitation for Activating Anticipatory Capacity in LLMs

ICLR 2026poster

Auto-regressive large language models (LLMs) exhibit a non-trivial capacity to "anticipate'' long-range future tokens despite being trained to predict only one token at a time. Nevertheless, how to systematically profile, enhance and leverage such capacity to practically improve LLM reasoning perfor…

P-GenRM: Personalized Generative Reward Model with Test-time User-based Scaling

ICLR 2026oral

Personalized alignment of large language models seeks to adapt responses to individual user preferences, typically via reinforcement learning. A key challenge is obtaining accurate, user-specific reward signals in open-ended scenarios. Existing personalized reward models face two persistent limitati…

Reward Modeling from Natural Language Human Feedback

ICML 2026poster

Reinforcement Learning with Verifiable Reward (RLVR) on preference data has become the mainstream approach for training Generative Reward Models (GRMs). Typically, GRMs generate reasoning chains ending with critiques and preference labels, with RLVR using label correctness as the training reward. Ho…

RolePlot: A Systematic Framework for Evaluating and Enhancing the Plot-Progression Capabilities of Role-Playing Agents

ACL 2025long

Role-playing agents (RPAs) are garnering increasing interests as a novel form of conversational AI. While previous research has predominantly concentrated on their ability to portray specified characters, we argue from a user-centered perspective that RPAs’ capability to advance the plot requires su…

Weakly Supervised Semantic Segmentation via Progressive Confidence Region Expansion

CVPR 2025poster

Weakly supervised semantic segmentation (WSSS) has garnered considerable attention due to its effective reduction of annotation costs. Most approaches utilize Class Activation Maps (CAM) to produce pseudo-labels, thereby localizing target regions using only image-level annotations. However, the prev…

Message Passing on Semantic-Anchor-Graphs for Fine-grained Emotion Representation Learning and Classification

EMNLP 2024main

Emotion classification has wide applications in education, robotics, virtual reality, etc. However, identifying subtle differences between fine-grained emotion categories remains challenging. Current methods typically aggregate numerous token embeddings of a sentence into a single vector, which, whi…
