CAMIEval: Enhancing NLG Evaluation through Multidimensional Comparative Instruction-Following Analysis

NAACL 2025long

With the rapid development of large language models (LLMs), due to their strong performance across various fields, LLM-based evaluation methods (LLM-as-a-Judge) have become widely used in natural language generation (NLG) evaluation. However, these methods encounter the following challenges: (1) dis…

FiNE: Filtering and Improving Noisy Data Elaborately with Large Language Models

NAACL 2025long

Data is the lifeblood of large language models (LLMs). While the quantity of open-source data available for training LLMs is substantial, its integrity often falls short. For instance, the open-source chat version of Yi-1.5-9B scores 5.20 on AlignBench, while the Chinese Alpaca-GPT4 version scores 4…

Gaussian Regression-Driven Tensorized Incomplete Multi-View Clustering with Dual Manifold Regularization

NeurIPS 2025poster

Tensorized Incomplete Multi-View Clustering (TIMVC) algorithms have attracted growing attention for their ability to capture high-order correlations across multiple views. However, most existing TIMVC methods rely on simplistic noise assumptions using specific norms (e.g., $\ell_1$ or $\ell_{2,1}$),…

MetaAlign: Align Large Language Models with Diverse Preferences during Inference Time

NAACL 2025findings

Large Language Models (LLMs) acquire extensive knowledge and remarkable abilities from extensive text corpora, making them powerful tools for various applications. To make LLMs more usable, aligning them with human preferences is essential. Existing alignment techniques, such as Reinforcement Learni…

Calibrating the Confidence of Large Language Models by Eliciting Fidelity

EMNLP 2024main

Large language models optimized with techniques like RLHF have achieved good alignment in being helpful and harmless. However, post-alignment, these language models often exhibit overconfidence, where the expressed confidence does not accurately calibrate with their correctness rate. In this paper,…

SpeechAlign: Aligning Speech Generation to Human Preferences

NeurIPS 2024poster

Speech language models have significantly advanced in generating realistic speech, with neural codec language models standing out. However, the integration of preference optimization to align speech outputs to human preferences is often neglected. This paper addresses this gap by first analyzing the…

SpeechTokenizer: Unified Speech Tokenizer for Speech Language Models

ICLR 2024poster

Current speech large language models build upon discrete speech representations, which can be categorized into semantic tokens and acoustic tokens. However, existing speech tokens are not specifically designed for speech language modeling. To assess the suitability of speech tokens for building spee…

DUB: Discrete Unit Back-translation for Speech Translation

ACL 2023findings

How can speech-to-text translation (ST) perform as well as machine translation (MT)? The key point is to bridge the modality gap between speech and text so that useful MT techniques can be applied to ST.Recently, the approach of representing speech with unsupervised discrete units yields a new way t…

SpeechGPT: Empowering Large Language Models with Intrinsic Cross-Modal Conversational Abilities

EMNLP 2023long findings

Multi-modal large language models are regarded as a crucial step towards Artificial General Intelligence~(AGI) and have garnered significant interest with the emergence of ChatGPT. However, current speech-language models typically adopt the cascade paradigm, preventing inter-modal knowledge transfer…

A Relation-Oriented Clustering Method for Open Relation Extraction

EMNLP 2021main

The clustering-based unsupervised relation discovery method has gradually become one of the important methods of open relation extraction (OpenRE). However, high-dimensional vectors can encode complex linguistic information which leads to the problem that the derived clusters cannot explicitly align…

SENT: Sentence-level Distant Relation Extraction via Negative Training

ACL 2021long

Distant supervision for relation extraction provides uniform bag labels for each sentence inside the bag, while accurate sentence labels are important for downstream applications that need the exact relation type. Directly using bag labels for sentence-level training will introduce much noise, thus…

Leveraging Document-Level Label Consistency for Named Entity Recognition

IJCAI 2020poster

Document-level label consistency is an effective indicator that different occurrences of a particular token sequence are very likely to have the same entity types. Previous work focused on better context representations and used the CRF for label decoding. However, CRF-based methods are inadequate f…
