Explainable Synthetic Image Detection Through Diffusion Timestep Ensembling

AAAI 2026technical

Recent advances in diffusion models have enabled the creation of deceptively real images, posing significant security risks when misused. In this study, we empirically show that different timesteps of DDIM inversion reveal varying subtle distinctions between synthetic and real images that are extrac

ProFuser: Progressive Fusion of Large Language Models

AAAI 2026technical

While fusing the capacities and advantages of various large language models offers a pathway to construct more powerful and versatile models, a fundamental challenge is to properly select advantageous model during training. Existing fusion methods primarily focus on the training mode that uses cros

When Model Merging Breaks Routing: Training-Free Calibration for MoE

ICML 2026poster

Model merging has emerged as a cost-effective approach for consolidating the capabilities of multiple LLMs without retraining. However, existing merging techniques, largely based on linear parameter arithmetic or optimization, struggle when applied to Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) architectures. We ident…

Mutual-Taught for Co-adapting Policy and Reward Models

ACL 2025long

During the preference optimization of large language models (LLMs), distribution shifts may arise between newly generated model samples and the data used to train the reward model (RM). This shift reduces the efficacy of the RM, which in turn negatively impacts the performance of the policy model (P…

Weighted-Reward Preference Optimization for Implicit Model Fusion

ICLR 2025poster

While fusing heterogeneous open-source LLMs with varying architectures and sizes can potentially integrate the strengths of different models, existing fusion methods face significant challenges, such as vocabulary alignment and merging distribution matrices. These procedures are not only complex but…

Searching for Best Practices in Retrieval-Augmented Generation

EMNLP 2024main

Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) techniques have proven to be effective in integrating up-to-date information, mitigating hallucinations, and enhancing response quality, particularly in specialized domains. While many RAG approaches have been proposed to enhance large language models through que…

Dual-Feedback Knowledge Retrieval for Task-Oriented Dialogue Systems

EMNLP 2023long main

Efficient knowledge retrieval plays a pivotal role in ensuring the success of end-to-end task-oriented dialogue systems by facilitating the selection of relevant information necessary to fulfill user requests. However, current approaches generally integrate knowledge retrieval and response generatio…

PsyCoT: Psychological Questionnaire as Powerful Chain-of-Thought for Personality Detection

EMNLP 2023long findings

Recent advances in large language models (LLMs), such as ChatGPT, have showcased remarkable zero-shot performance across various NLP tasks. However, the potential of LLMs in personality detection, which involves identifying an individual's personality from their written texts, remains largely unexpl…
