Generating Grounded Responses to Counter Misinformation via Learning Efficient Fine-Grained Critiques

IJCAI 2025

Fake news and misinformation poses a significant threat to society, making efficient mitigation essential. However, manual fact-checking is costly and lacks scalability. Large Language Models (LLMs) offer promise in automating counter-response generation to mitigate misinformation, but a critical ch

Teaching Large Language Models Number-Focused Headline Generation With Key Element Rationales

NAACL 2025findings

Number-focused headline generation is a summarization task requiring both high textual quality and precise numerical accuracy, which poses a unique challenge for Large Language Models (LLMs). Existing studies in the literature focus only on either textual quality or numerical reasoning and thus are…

Tree of Agents: Improving Long-Context Capabilities of Large Language Models through Multi-Perspective Reasoning

EMNLP 2025

Large language models (LLMs) face persistent challenges when handling long-context tasks, most notably the “lost in the middle” issue, where information located in the middle of a long input tends to be underutilized. Some existing methods that reduce input have the risk of discarding key informatio

Harnessing Network Effect for Fake News Mitigation: Selecting Debunkers via Self-Imitation Learning

AAAI 2024technical

This study aims to minimize the influence of fake news on social networks by deploying debunkers to propagate true news. This is framed as a reinforcement learning problem, where, at each stage, one user is selected to propagate true news. A challenging issue is episodic reward where the "net" effec…
