DeepRAG: Thinking to Retrieve Step by Step for Large Language Models

ICLR 2026poster

Large Language Models (LLMs) have shown remarkable reasoning capabilities, while their practical applications are limited by severe factual hallucinations due to limitations in the timeliness, accuracy, and comprehensiveness of their parametric knowledge. Meanwhile, enhancing retrieval-augmented gen…

ConsistentChat: Building Skeleton-Guided Consistent Multi-Turn Dialogues for Large Language Models from Scratch

EMNLP 2025

Current instruction data synthesis methods primarily focus on single-turn instructions and often neglect cross-turn coherence, resulting in context drift and reduced task completion rates in extended conversations. To address this limitation, we propose Skeleton-Guided Multi-Turn Dialogue Generation

On-Policy Self-Alignment with Fine-grained Knowledge Feedback for Hallucination Mitigation

ACL 2025finding

Hallucination occurs when large language models exhibit behavior that deviates from the boundaries of their knowledge during response generation. To address this critical issue, previous learning-based methods attempt to finetune models but are limited by off-policy sampling and coarse-grained feedb…

PPTAgent: Generating and Evaluating Presentations Beyond Text-to-Slides

EMNLP 2025

Automatically generating presentations from documents is a challenging task that requires accommodating content quality, visual appeal, and structural coherence. Existing methods primarily focus on improving and evaluating the content quality in isolation, overlooking visual appeal and structural co

Sparse Latents Steer Retrieval-Augmented Generation

ACL 2025long

Understanding the mechanisms underlying Large Language Model (LLM) behavior in Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems is critical for enhancing reliability. In this paper, we leverage Sparse Autoencoders (SAEs) within the LLaMA Scope to uncover sparse, interpretable latents that govern RAG beh…

Mitigating Large Language Model Hallucinations via Autonomous Knowledge Graph-Based Retrofitting

AAAI 2024technical

Incorporating factual knowledge in knowledge graph is regarded as a promising approach for mitigating the hallucination of large language models (LLMs). Existing methods usually only use the user's input to query the knowledge graph, thus failing to address the factual hallucination generated by LLM…

REInstruct: Building Instruction Data from Unlabeled Corpus

ACL 2024findings

Manually annotating instruction data for large language models is difficult, costly, and hard to scale. Meanwhile, current automatic annotation methods typically rely on distilling synthetic data from proprietary LLMs, which not only limits the upper bound of the quality of the instruction data but…

Improving Temporal Generalization of Pre-trained Language Models with Lexical Semantic Change

EMNLP 2022main

Recent research has revealed that neural language models at scale suffer from poor temporal generalization capability, i.e., language model pre-trained on static data from past years performs worse over time on emerging data. Existing methods mainly perform continual training to mitigate such a misa…
