MindFlow: Mind Supernet Powered Thinking Flows for Research Idea Innovation

ICML 2026poster

Research idea innovation is a fundamental engine of scientific progress, yet it remains difficult to generate and evaluate in a scalable and controllable way. This challenge lies in its inherently open-ended and multi-objective nature, where ideas should balance novelty, plausibility and feasibility…

Incentivizing Dual Process Thinking for Efficient Large Language Model Reasoning

NeurIPS 2025poster

Large reasoning models (LRMs) have demonstrated strong performance on complex reasoning tasks, but often suffer from overthinking, generating redundant content regardless of task difficulty. Inspired by the dual process theory in cognitive science, we propose Adaptive Cognition Policy Optimization (…

ProtInvTree: Deliberate Protein Inverse Folding with Reward-guided Tree Search

NeurIPS 2025spotlight

Designing protein sequences that fold into a target 3D structure—known as protein inverse folding—is a fundamental challenge in protein engineering. While recent deep learning methods have achieved impressive performance by recovering native sequences, they often overlook the one-to-many nature of t…

Think More, Hallucinate Less: Mitigating Hallucinations via Dual Process of Fast and Slow Thinking

ACL 2025finding

Large language models (LLMs) demonstrate exceptional capabilities, yet still face the hallucination issue. Typical text generation approaches adopt an auto-regressive generation without deliberate reasoning, often leading to untrustworthy and factually inaccurate responses. In this paper, we propose…

ChainLM: Empowering Large Language Models with Improved Chain-of-Thought Prompting

COLING 2024main

Chain-of-Thought (CoT) prompting can enhance the reasoning capabilities of large language models (LLMs), establishing itself as a primary approach to solving complex reasoning tasks. Existing CoT synthesis approaches usually focus on simpler reasoning tasks and thus result in low-quality and inconsi…

LLMBox: A Comprehensive Library for Large Language Models

ACL 2024system demonstrations

To facilitate the research on large language models (LLMs), this paper presents a comprehensive and unified library, LLMBox, to ease the development, use, and evaluation of LLMs. This library is featured with three main merits: (1) a unified data interface that supports the flexible implementation o…

Small Agent Can Also Rock! Empowering Small Language Models as Hallucination Detector

EMNLP 2024main

Hallucination detection is a challenging task for large language models (LLMs), and existing studies heavily rely on powerful closed-source LLMs such as GPT-4. In this paper, we propose an autonomous LLM-based agent framework, called HaluAgent, which enables relatively smaller LLMs (e.g. Baichuan2-C…

The Dawn After the Dark: An Empirical Study on Factuality Hallucination in Large Language Models

ACL 2024long

In the era of large language models (LLMs), hallucination (the tendency to generate factually incorrect content) poses great challenges to trustworthy and reliable deployment of LLMs in real-world applications. To tackle the hallucination, three key questions should be well studied: how to detect ha…

HaluEval: A Large-Scale Hallucination Evaluation Benchmark for Large Language Models

EMNLP 2023long main

Large language models (LLMs), such as ChatGPT, are prone to generate hallucinations, i.e., content that conflicts with the source or cannot be verified by the factual knowledge. To understand what types of content and to which extent LLMs are apt to hallucinate, we introduce the Hallucination Evalua…
