AMemGym: Interactive Memory Benchmarking for Assistants in Long-Horizon Conversations

ICLR 2026poster

Long-horizon interactions between users and LLM-based assistants necessitates effective memory management, yet current approaches face challenges in training and evaluation of memory. Existing memory benchmarks rely on static, off-policy data as context, limiting evaluation reliability and scalabili…

CATArena: Evaluating Evolutionary Capabilities of Code Agents via Iterative Tournaments

ICML 2026poster

Current evaluation for Large Language Model (LLM) code agents predominantly focus on generating functional code in single-turn scenarios, which fails to evaluate the agent's capability for continuous code optimization and multi-turn iterative development. To bridge this gap, we introduce CATArena, a…

R-Horizon: How Far Can Your Large Reasoning Model Really Go in Breadth and Depth?

ICLR 2026poster

Recent trends in test-time scaling for reasoning models (e.g., OpenAI o1, DeepSeek-R1) have led to remarkable improvements through long Chain-of-Thought (CoT). However, existing benchmarks mainly focus on immediate, single-horizon tasks, failing to adequately evaluate models’ ability to understand a…

Instance-level Randomization: Toward More Stable LLM Evaluations

EMNLP 2025

Evaluations of large language models (LLMs) suffer from instability, where small changes of random factors such as few-shot examples can lead to drastic fluctuations of scores and even model rankings. Moreover, different LLMs can have different preferences for a certain setting of random factors. As

Leveraging Dual Process Theory in Language Agent Framework for Real-time Simultaneous Human-AI Collaboration

ACL 2025long

Agents built on large language models (LLMs) have excelled in turn-by-turn human-AI collaboration but struggle with simultaneous tasks requiring real-time interaction. Latency issues and the challenge of inferring variable human strategies hinder their ability to make autonomous decisions without ex…

MUSE: MCTS-Driven Red Teaming Framework for Enhanced Multi-Turn Dialogue Safety in Large Language Models

EMNLP 2025

As large language models (LLMs) become widely adopted, ensuring their alignment with human values is crucial to prevent jailbreaks where adversaries manipulate models to produce harmful content. While most defenses target single-turn attacks, real-world usage often involves multi-turn dialogues, exp

Q-Eval-100K: Evaluating Visual Quality and Alignment Level for Text-to-Vision Content

CVPR 2025poster

Evaluating text-to-vision content hinges on two crucial aspects: **visual quality** and **alignment**. While significant progress has been made in developing objective models to assess these dimensions, the performance of such models heavily relies on the scale and quality of human annotations. Acco…

Why Not Act on What You Know? Unleashing Safety Potential of LLMs via Self-Aware Guard Enhancement

ACL 2025finding

Large Language Models (LLMs) have shown impressive capabilities across various tasks but remain vulnerable to meticulously crafted jailbreak attacks. In this paper, we identify a critical safety gap: while LLMs are adept at detecting jailbreak prompts, they often produce unsafe responses when direct…

A Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing: Generalized Nested Jailbreak Prompts can Fool Large Language Models Easily

NAACL 2024long

Large Language Models (LLMs), such as ChatGPT and GPT-4, are designed to provide useful and safe responses. However, adversarial prompts known as ‘jailbreaks’ can circumvent safeguards, leading LLMs to generate potentially harmful content. Exploring jailbreak prompts can help to better reveal the we…

Conjoin after Decompose: Improving Few-Shot Performance of Named Entity Recognition

COLING 2024main

Prompt-based methods have been widely used in few-shot named entity recognition (NER). In this paper, we first conduct a preliminary experiment and observe that the key to affecting the performance of prompt-based NER models is the capability to detect entity boundaries. However, most existing model…

Transferable and Efficient: Unifying Dynamic Multi-Domain Product Categorization

ACL 2023industry

As e-commerce platforms develop different business lines, a special but challenging product categorization scenario emerges, where there are multiple domain-specific category taxonomies and each of them evolves dynamically over time. In order to unify the categorization process and ensure efficiency…
