Stop the Flip-Flop: Context-Preserving Verification for Fast Revocable Diffusion Decoding

ICML 2026poster

Parallel diffusion decoding can accelerate diffusion language model inference by unmasking multiple tokens per step, but aggressive parallelism often harms quality. Revocable decoding mitigates this by rechecking earlier tokens, yet we observe that existing verification schemes frequently trigger fl…

PECAN: LLM-Guided Dynamic Progress Control with Attention-Guided Hierarchical Weighted Graph for Long-Document QA

ACL 2025finding

Long-document QA presents challenges with large-scale text and long-distance dependencies. Recent advances in Large Language Models (LLMs) enable entire documents to be processed in a single pass. However, their computational cost is significantly high. Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) methods s…

Addressing Order Sensitivity of In-Context Demonstration Examples in Causal Language Models

ACL 2024findings

In-context learning has become a popular paradigm in natural language processing. However, its performance can be significantly influenced by the order of in-context demonstration examples. In this paper, we found that causal language models (CausalLMs) are more sensitive to this order compared to p…

Encourage or Inhibit Monosemanticity? Revisit Monosemanticity from a Feature Decorrelation Perspective

EMNLP 2024main

To better interpret the intrinsic mechanism of large language models (LLMs), recent studies focus on monosemanticity on its basic units. A monosemantic neuron is dedicated to a single and specific concept, which forms a one-to-one correlation between neurons and concepts. Despite extensive research…

The Mystery of In-Context Learning: A Comprehensive Survey on Interpretation and Analysis

EMNLP 2024main

Understanding in-context learning (ICL) capability that enables large language models (LLMs) to excel in proficiency through demonstration examples is of utmost importance. This importance stems not only from the better utilization of this capability across various tasks, but also from the proactive…

G3R: A Graph-Guided Generate-and-Rerank Framework for Complex and Cross-domain Text-to-SQL Generation

ACL 2023findings

We present a framework called G3R for complex and cross-domain Text-to-SQL generation. G3R aims to address two limitations of current approaches: (1) The structure of the abstract syntax tree (AST) is not fully explored during the decoding process which is crucial for complex SQL generation; (2) Dom…

Code Generation From Flowcharts with Texts: A Benchmark Dataset and An Approach

EMNLP 2022finding

Currently, researchers focus on generating codes from the requirement documents. However, current approaches still perform poorly on some requirements needing complex problem-solving skills. In reality, to tackle such complex requirements, instead of directly translating requirement documents into c…

Complicate Then Simplify: A Novel Way to Explore Pre-trained Models for Text Classification

COLING 2022main

With the development of pre-trained models (PTMs), the performance of text classification has been continuously improved by directly employing the features generated by PTMs. However such way might not fully explore the knowledge in PTMs as it is constrained by the difficulty of the task. Compared t…

A Divide-And-Conquer Approach for Multi-label Multi-hop Relation Detection in Knowledge Base Question Answering

EMNLP 2021finding

Relation detection in knowledge base question answering, aims to identify the path(s) of relations starting from the topic entity node that is linked to the answer node in knowledge graph. Such path might consist of multiple relations, which we call multi-hop. Moreover, for a single question, there…
