Exploring the Generalizability of Factual Hallucination Mitigation via Enhancing Precise Knowledge Utilization

EMNLP 2025

Large Language Models (LLMs) often struggle to align their responses with objective facts, resulting in the issue of factual hallucinations , which can be difficult to detect and mislead users without relevant knowledge. Although post-training techniques have been employed to mitigate the issue, exi

REOBench: Benchmarking Robustness of Earth Observation Foundation Models

NeurIPS 2025poster

Earth observation foundation models have shown strong generalization across multiple Earth observation tasks, but their robustness under real-world perturbations remains underexplored. To bridge this gap, we introduce REOBench, the first comprehensive benchmark for evaluating the robustness of Earth…

STAIR: Improving Safety Alignment with Introspective Reasoning

ICML 2025oral

Ensuring the safety and harmlessness of Large Language Models (LLMs) has become equally critical as their performance in applications. However, existing safety alignment methods typically suffer from safety-performance trade-offs and susceptibility to jailbreak attacks, primarily due to their relian…

A PID Controller Approach for Adaptive Probability-dependent Gradient Decay in Model Calibration

NeurIPS 2024poster

Modern deep learning models often exhibit overconfident predictions, inadequately capturing uncertainty. During model optimization, the expected calibration error tends to overfit earlier than classification accuracy, indicating distinct optimization objectives for classification error and calibrat…

Exploring the Transferability of Visual Prompting for Multimodal Large Language Models

CVPR 2024highlight

Although Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) have demonstrated promising versatile capabilities their performance is still inferior to specialized models on downstream tasks which makes adaptation necessary to enhance their utility. However fine-tuning methods require independent training for e…

QoE-driven Delay-adaptive Control Scheme Switching for Time-delayed Bilateral Teleoperation with Haptic Data Reduction

IROS 2021poster

Teleoperation systems with haptic feedback allow a human user to remotely interact with a dangerous or inac-cessible environment, perform various tasks, and perceive the haptic feedback. To ensure system stability while maintaining the best possible quality of experience (QoE), different teleoperati…

Towards Hyperparameter-free Policy Selection for Offline Reinforcement Learning

NeurIPS 2021poster

How to select between policies and value functions produced by different training algorithms in offline reinforcement learning (RL)---which is crucial for hyperparameter tuning---is an important open question. Existing approaches based on off-policy evaluation (OPE) often require additional function…

A Poisson-Gaussian Denoising Dataset With Real Fluorescence Microscopy Images

CVPR 2019poster

Fluorescence microscopy has enabled a dramatic development in modern biology. Due to its inherently weak signal, fluorescence microscopy is not only much noisier than photography, but also presented with Poisson-Gaussian noise where Poisson noise, or shot noise, is the dominating noise source. To ge…
