FacLens: Transferable Probe for Foreseeing Non-Factuality in Fact-Seeking Question Answering of Large Language Models

EMNLP 2025

Despite advancements in large language models (LLMs), non-factual responses still persist in fact-seeking question answering. Unlike extensive studies on post-hoc detection of these responses, this work studies non-factuality prediction (NFP), predicting whether an LLM will generate a non-factual re

P2 Law: Scaling Law for Post-Training After Model Pruning

ACL 2025long

Pruning has become a widely adopted technique for reducing the hardware requirements of large language models (LLMs). To recover model performance after pruning, post-training is commonly employed to mitigate the resulting performance degradation. While post-training benefits from larger datasets, o…

Streamlining Redundant Layers to Compress Large Language Models

ICLR 2025spotlight

This paper introduces LLM-Streamline, a pioneer work on layer pruning for large language models (LLMs). It is based on the observation that different layers have varying impacts on hidden states, enabling the identification of less important layers to be pruned. LLM-Streamline comprises two parts:…

SGSH: Stimulate Large Language Models with Skeleton Heuristics for Knowledge Base Question Generation

NAACL 2024findings

Knowledge base question generation (KBQG) aims to generate natural language questions from a set of triplet facts extracted from KB. Existing methods have significantly boosted the performance of KBQG via pre-trained language models (PLMs) thanks to the richly endowed semantic knowledge. With the ad…

FC-KBQA: A Fine-to-Coarse Composition Framework for Knowledge Base Question Answering

ACL 2023long

The generalization problem on KBQA has drawn considerable attention. Existing research suffers from the generalization issue brought by the entanglement in the coarse-grained modeling of the logical expression, or inexecutability issues due to the fine-grained modeling of disconnected classes and re…

DSM: Question Generation over Knowledge Base via Modeling Diverse Subgraphs with Meta-learner

EMNLP 2022main

Existing methods on knowledge base question generation (KBQG) learn a one-size-fits-all model by training together all subgraphs without distinguishing the diverse semantics of subgraphs. In this work, we show that making use of the past experience on semantically similar subgraphs can reduce the le…
