A Robust Distributed Recurrent Neural Network for Multi-Agent Consensus Control

ICASSP 2025accepted

Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) are widely used in control system due to their dynamic capabilities. However, the control accuracy of RNN-based systems can be compromised by noise interference, and there has been little research on RNN-based control in disturbed multi-agent systems. To address this…

De-biased Attention Supervision for Text Classification with Causality

AAAI 2024technical

In text classification models, while the unsupervised attention mechanism can enhance performance, it often produces attention distributions that are puzzling to humans, such as assigning high weight to seemingly insignificant conjunctions. Recently, numerous studies have explored Attention Supervis…

Reformulating Domain Adaptation of Large Language Models as Adapt-Retrieve-Revise: A Case Study on Chinese Legal Domain

ACL 2024findings

While large language models (LLMs) like GPT-4 have recently demonstrated astonishing zero-shot capabilities in general domain tasks, they often generate content with hallucinations in specific domains such as Chinese law, hindering their application in these areas. This is typically due to the absen…

SAM-DEBLUR: Let Segment Anything Boost Image Deblurring

ICASSP 2024accepted

Image deblurring is a critical task in the field of image restoration, aiming to eliminate blurring artifacts. However, the challenge of addressing non-uniform blurring leads to an ill-posed problem, which limits the generalization performance of existing deblurring models. To solve the problem, we…

Unleashing the Power of LLMs in Court View Generation by Stimulating Internal Knowledge and Incorporating External Knowledge

NAACL 2024findings

Court View Generation (CVG) plays a vital role in the realm of legal artificial intelligence, which aims to support judges in crafting legal judgment documents. The court view consists of three essential judgment parts: the charge-related, law article-related, and prison term-related parts, each req…

Exploiting Contrastive Learning and Numerical Evidence for Confusing Legal Judgment Prediction

EMNLP 2023long findings

Given the fact description text of a legal case, legal judgment prediction (LJP) aims to predict the case's charge, applicable law article, and term of penalty. A core problem of LJP is distinguishing confusing legal cases where only subtle text differences exist. Previous studies fail to distinguis…

Focus-aware Response Generation in Inquiry Conversation

ACL 2023findings

Inquiry conversation is a common form of conversation that aims to complete the investigation (e.g., court hearing, medical consultation and police interrogation) during which a series of focus shifts occurs. While many models have been proposed to generate a smooth response to a given conversation…

Precedent-Enhanced Legal Judgment Prediction with LLM and Domain-Model Collaboration

EMNLP 2023long main

Legal Judgment Prediction (LJP) has become an increasingly crucial task in Legal AI, i.e., predicting the judgment of the case in terms of case fact description. Precedents are the previous legal cases with similar facts, which are the basis for the judgment of the subsequent case in national legal…

Unsupervised Legal Evidence Retrieval via Contrastive Learning with Approximate Aggregated Positive

AAAI 2023technical

Verifying the facts alleged by the prosecutors before the trial requires the judges to retrieve evidence within the massive materials accompanied. Existing Legal AI applications often assume the facts are already determined and fail to notice the difficulty of reconstructing them. To build a practic…

Towards Interactivity and Interpretability: A Rationale-based Legal Judgment Prediction Framework

EMNLP 2022main

Legal judgment prediction (LJP) is a fundamental task in legal AI, which aims to assist the judge to hear the case and determine the judgment. The legal judgment usually consists of the law article, charge, and term of penalty. In the real trial scenario, the judge usually makes the decision step-by…

RepSum: Unsupervised Dialogue Summarization based on Replacement Strategy

ACL 2021long

In the field of dialogue summarization, due to the lack of training data, it is often difficult for supervised summary generation methods to learn vital information from dialogue context with limited data. Several attempts on unsupervised summarization for text by leveraging semantic information sol…
