HEV Generative Sandbox: A Framework for Assessing Domain-Specific Social Risks Through Human-LLM Simulation

AAAI 2026technical

Deploying Large Language Models (LLMs) in specialized domains introduces significant societal and compliance risks, including bias amplification, misinformation propagation, and privacy violations. These risks predominantly emerge from the dynamic interactions between LLMs and humans in specific con

A*-Thought: Efficient Reasoning via Bidirectional Compression for Low-Resource Settings

NeurIPS 2025poster

Large Reasoning Models (LRMs) achieve superior performance by extending the thought length. However, a lengthy thinking trajectory leads to reduced efficiency. Most of the existing methods are stuck in the assumption of overthinking and attempt to reason efficiently by compressing the Chain-of-Thoug…

Causality Based Front-door Defense Against Backdoor Attack on Language Models

ICML 2024poster

We have developed a new framework based on the theory of causal inference to protect language models against backdoor attacks. Backdoor attackers can poison language models with different types of triggers, such as words, sentences, grammar, and style, enabling them to selectively modify the decisio…
