Easy for Children, Hard for AI: The Limits of Multimodal LLMs in Early Childhood Learning

AAAI 2026technical

Early childhood is a critical stage for cognitive development, involving core skills such as visual perception and reasoning. While multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have made rapid progress in various general-purpose tasks, their ability to support early education remains largely underexplor

PsyPARSE: Retrieval-Augmented Slow Thinking for Personalized Empathetic Counseling

AAAI 2026technical

The escalating global demand for mental health services highlights the potential of Large Language Models (LLMs) in psychological counseling. However, current LLM-based approaches, particularly fine-tuned models, are constrained by data distribution biases, leading to limited therapeutic diversity a

Uni-NTFM: A Unified Foundation Model for EEG Signal Representation Learning

ICLR 2026poster

Current foundation models for electroencephalography (EEG) rely on architectures adapted from computer vision or natural language processing, typically treating neural signals as pixel grids or token sequences. This approach overlooks that the neural activity is activated by diverse sparse coding ac…

ALRPHFS: Adversarially Learned Risk Patterns with Hierarchical Fast & Slow Reasoning for Robust Agent Defense

EMNLP 2025

LLM Agents are becoming central to intelligent systems. However, their deployment raises serious safety concerns. Existing defenses largely rely on “Safety Checks”, which struggle to capture the complex semantic risks posed by harmful user inputs or unsafe agent behaviors—creating a significant sema

Beyond Surface-Level Patterns: An Essence-Driven Defense Framework Against Jailbreak Attacks in LLMs

ACL 2025finding

Although Aligned Large Language Models (LLMs) are trained to reject harmful requests, they remain vulnerable to jailbreak attacks. Unfortunately, existing methods often focus on surface-level patterns, overlooking the deeper attack essences. As a result, defenses fail when attack prompts change, eve…
