Latent Veracity Inference for Identifying Errors in Stepwise Reasoning

ICLR 2026poster

Chain-of-Thought (CoT) reasoning has advanced the capabilities and transparency of language models (LMs); however, reasoning chains can contain inaccurate statements that reduce performance and trustworthiness. To address this, we propose to augment each reasoning step in a CoT with a latent veracit…

When Greedy Wins: Emergent Exploitation Bias in Meta-Bandit LLM Training

ICLR 2026poster

While Large Language Models (LLMs) hold promise to become autonomous agents, they often explore suboptimally in sequential decision-making. Recent work has sought to enhance this capability via supervised fine-tuning (SFT) or reinforcement learning (RL), improving regret on the classic multi-armed b…

Aligning Protein Conformation Ensemble Generation with Physical Feedback

ICML 2025poster

Protein dynamics play a crucial role in protein biological functions and properties, and their traditional study typically relies on time-consuming molecular dynamics (MD) simulations conducted in silico. Recent advances in generative modeling, particularly denoising diffusion models, have enabled e…

HarmAug: Effective Data Augmentation for Knowledge Distillation of Safety Guard Models

ICLR 2025poster

Safety guard models that detect malicious queries aimed at large language models (LLMs) are essential for ensuring the secure and responsible deployment of LLMs in real-world applications. However, deploying existing safety guard models with billions of parameters alongside LLMs on mobile devices is…

Structure Language Models for Protein Conformation Generation

ICLR 2025poster

Proteins adopt multiple structural conformations to perform their diverse biological functions, and understanding these conformations is crucial for advancing drug discovery. Traditional physics-based simulation methods often struggle with sampling equilibrium conformations and are computationally e…

Inference and Verbalization Functions During In-Context Learning

EMNLP 2024finding

Large language models (LMs) are capable of in-context learning from a few demonstrations (example-label pairs) to solve new tasks during inference. Despite the intuitive importance of high-quality demonstrations, previous work has observed that, in some settings, ICL performance is minimally affecte…
