Beyond Fixed Biases: Decoding the Role of Reasoning Uncertainty in MLLM Modality Conflicts

ICML 2026poster

Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) must resolve conflicts when modalities provide contradictory information, a process we term "modality following". We propose a framework that deconstructs this behavior into case-specific relative reasoning uncertainty and a model's stable inherent preference…

Real-Time Monitoring and Calibration of Chain-of-Thought Sycophancy in Large Reasoning Models

ICML 2026poster

Large Reasoning Models (LRMs) suffer from sycophantic behavior, where models tend to agree with users' incorrect beliefs and follow misinformation rather than maintain independent reasoning. This behavior undermines model reliability and poses societal risks. Mitigating LRM sycophancy requires monit…

Semi-supervised Concept Bottleneck Models

ICCV 2025poster

Concept Bottleneck Models (CBMs) have garnered increasing attention due to their ability to provide concept-based explanations for black-box deep learning models while achieving high final prediction accuracy using human-like concepts. However, the training of current CBMs is heavily dependent on th…
