Beyond Accuracy: A Cognitive Load Framework for Mapping the Capability Boundaries of Tool-use Agents

AAAI 2026technical

The ability of Large Language Models (LLMs) to use ex ternal tools unlocks powerful real-world interactions, mak ing rigorous evaluation essential. However, current bench marks primarily report final accuracy, revealing what mod els can do but obscuring the cognitive bottlenecks that define their t

OPERA: A Reinforcement Learning--Enhanced Orchestrated Planner-Executor Architecture for Reasoning-Oriented Multi-Hop Retrieval

AAAI 2026technical

Recent advances in large language models (LLMs) and dense retrievers have driven significant progress in retrieval-augmented generation (RAG). However, existing approaches face significant challenges in complex reasoning-oriented multi-hop retrieval tasks: 1) Ineffective reasoning-oriented planning:

SEMANTIC REFORMULATION ENTROPY FOR ROBUST HALLUCINATION DETECTION IN QA TASKS

ICASSP 2026poster

Reliable question answering with large language models (LLMs) is challenged by hallucinations, fluent but factually incorrect outputs arising from epistemic uncertainty. Existing entropy-based semantic-level uncertainty estimation methods are limited by sampling noise and unstable clustering of vari…

Can We Steer Reasoning Direction by Thinking Intervention?

EMNLP 2025

Large Reason Models (LRMs) extend long reasoning process to solve complex tasks. However, due to the lack of fine-grained control, they often suffer from overthinking and erroneous reasoning problems, risking accuracy loss. To address this issue, we introduce Reasoning Direction Steering (RDS) to en

Emotion Transfer with Enhanced Prototype for Unseen Emotion Recognition in Conversation

EMNLP 2025

Current Emotion Recognition in Conversation (ERC) research follows a closed-domain assumption. However, there is no clear consensus on emotion classification in psychology, which presents a challenge for models when it comes to recognizing previously unseen emotions in real-world applications. To br

Multi-View Incongruity Learning for Multimodal Sarcasm Detection

COLING 2025main

Multimodal sarcasm detection (MSD) is essential for various downstream tasks. Existing MSD methods tend to rely on spurious correlations. These methods often mistakenly prioritize non-essential features yet still make correct predictions, demonstrating poor generalizability beyond training environme…

ReTD: Reconstruction-Based Traceability Detection for Generated Images

ICASSP 2025accepted

The objective of generated image traceability is to accurately identify and locate the source models. In this paper, we propose ReTD (Reconstruction-Based Traceability Detection), a generalized model for generated image traceability detection. Firstly, we use VAE to reconstruct images which are comp…

RepGuard: Adaptive Feature Decoupling for Robust Backdoor Defense in Large Language Models

NeurIPS 2025poster

Backdoor attacks pose a significant threat to large language models (LLMs) by embedding malicious triggers that manipulate model behavior. However, existing defenses primarily rely on prior knowledge of backdoor triggers or targets and offer only superficial mitigation strategies, thus struggling to…

T-T: Table Transformer for Tagging-based Aspect Sentiment Triplet Extraction

IJCAI 2025

Aspect sentiment triplet extraction (ASTE) aims to extract triplets composed of aspect terms, opinion terms, and sentiment polarities from given sentences. The table tagging method is a popular approach to addressing this task, which encodes a sentence into a 2-dimensional table, allowing for the ta

Physics-Constrained Comprehensive Optical Neural Networks

NeurIPS 2024poster

With the advantages of low latency, low power consumption, and high parallelism, optical neural networks (ONN) offer a promising solution for time-sensitive and resource-limited artificial intelligence applications. However, the performance of the ONN model is often diminished by the gap between the…

Mulan: A Multi-Level Alignment Model for Video Question Answering

EMNLP 2023long findings

Video Question Answering (VideoQA) aims to answer questions about the visual content of a video. Current methods mainly focus on improving joint representations of video and text. However, these methods pay little attention to the fine-grained semantic interaction between video and text. In this pap…

Deep Differential Amplifier for Extractive Summarization

ACL 2021long

For sentence-level extractive summarization, there is a disproportionate ratio of selected and unselected sentences, leading to flatting the summary features when maximizing the accuracy. The imbalanced classification of summarization is inherent, which can’t be addressed by common algorithms easily…
