daVinci-Dev: Agent-native Mid-training for Software Engineering

ICML 2026oral

Recently, the frontier of Large Language Model (LLM) capabilities has shifted from single-turn code generation to agentic software engineering—a paradigm where models autonomously navigate, edit, and test complex repositories. While post-training methods have become the de facto approach for code ag…

Enigmata: Scaling Logical Reasoning in Large Language Models with Synthetic Verifiable Puzzles

NeurIPS 2025spotlight

Large Language Models (LLMs), such as OpenAI’s o1 and DeepSeek’s R1, excel at advanced reasoning tasks like math and coding via Reinforcement Learning with Verifiable Rewards (RLVR), but still struggle with puzzles solvable by humans without domain knowledge. We introduce ENIGMATA, the first compreh…

Evaluating Mathematical Reasoning Beyond Accuracy

AAAI 2025technical

The leaderboard of Large Language Models (LLMs) in mathematical tasks has been continuously updated. However, the majority of evaluations focus solely on the final results, neglecting the quality of the intermediate steps. This oversight can mask underlying problems, such as logical errors or unnece…

MathPile: A Billion-Token-Scale Pretraining Corpus for Math

NeurIPS 2024poster

High-quality, large-scale corpora are the cornerstone of building foundation models. In this work, we introduce MathPile, a diverse and high-quality math-centric corpus comprising about 9.5 billion tokens. Throughout its creation, we adhered to the principle of “less is more”, firmly believing in th…

A Prototypical Semantic Decoupling Method via Joint Contrastive Learning for Few-Shot Named Entity Recognition

ICASSP 2023accepted

Few-shot named entity recognition (NER) aims at identifying named entities based on only few labeled instances. Most existing prototype-based sequence labeling models tend to memorize entity mentions which would be easily confused by close prototypes. In this paper, we proposed a Prototypical Semant…

Generative Zero-Shot Prompt Learning for Cross-Domain Slot Filling with Inverse Prompting

ACL 2023findings

Zero-shot cross-domain slot filling aims to transfer knowledge from the labeled source domain to the unlabeled target domain. Existing models either encode slot descriptions and examples or design handcrafted question templates using heuristic rules, suffering from poor generalization capability or…

Revisit Out-Of-Vocabulary Problem For Slot Filling: A Unified Contrastive Framework With Multi-Level Data Augmentations

ICASSP 2023accepted

In real dialogue scenarios, the existing slot filling model, which tends to memorize entity patterns, has a significantly reduced generalization facing Out-of-Vocabulary (OOV) problems. To address this issue, we propose an OOV robust slot filling model based on multi-level data augmentations to solv…

SIAST: A Slot Imbalance-Aware Self-Training Scheme for Semi-Supervised Slot Filling

ICASSP 2023accepted

Slot filling where labelled data are scarce could leverage the recent advances in self-training methods. However, existing self-training models ignore the prevalent imbalanced slot distribution problem in many slot filling datasets. These methods could exacerbate label imbalance during learning iter…

A Robust Contrastive Alignment Method for Multi-Domain Text Classification

ICASSP 2022accepted

Multi-domain text classification can automatically classify texts in various scenarios. Due to the diversity of human languages, texts with the same label in different domains may differ greatly, which brings challenges to the multi-domain text classification. Current advanced methods use the privat…

PSSAT: A Perturbed Semantic Structure Awareness Transferring Method for Perturbation-Robust Slot Filling

COLING 2022main

Most existing slot filling models tend to memorize inherent patterns of entities and corresponding contexts from training data. However, these models can lead to system failure or undesirable outputs when being exposed to spoken language perturbation or variation in practice. We propose a perturbed…

Bridge to Target Domain by Prototypical Contrastive Learning and Label Confusion: Re-explore Zero-Shot Learning for Slot Filling

EMNLP 2021main

Zero-shot cross-domain slot filling alleviates the data dependence in the case of data scarcity in the target domain, which has aroused extensive research. However, as most of the existing methods do not achieve effective knowledge transfer to the target domain, they just fit the distribution of the…

Provably End-to-end Label-noise Learning without Anchor Points

ICML 2021spotlight

In label-noise learning, the transition matrix plays a key role in building statistically consistent classifiers. Existing consistent estimators for the transition matrix have been developed by exploiting anchor points. However, the anchor-point assumption is not always satisfied in real scenarios.…
