Huxley-G\"odel Machine: Human-Level Coding Agent Development by an Approximation of the Optimal Self-Improving Machine

ICLR 2026oral

Recent studies operationalize self-improvement through coding agents that edit their own codebases, grow a tree of self-modifications through expansion strategies that favor higher software engineering benchmark performance, considering that this implies more promising subsequent self-modifications…

PhysGym: Benchmarking LLMs in Interactive Physics Discovery with Controlled Priors

NeurIPS 2025poster

Evaluating the scientific discovery capabilities of large language model based agents, particularly how they cope with varying environmental complexity and utilize prior knowledge, requires specialized benchmarks currently lacking in the landscape. To address this gap, we introduce PhysGym, a novel…

SepLLM: Accelerate Large Language Models by Compressing One Segment into One Separator

ICML 2025poster

Large Language Models (LLMs) have exhibited exceptional performance across a spectrum of natural language processing tasks. However, their substantial sizes pose considerable challenges, particularly in computational demands and inference speed, due to their quadratic complexity. In this work, we ha…

Understanding Neural Networks in Profiled Side-Channel Analysis

ICASSP 2025accepted

Side-channel analysis (SCA) capitalizes on unintentionally leaked information to extract sensitive data from cryptographic systems. Over recent years, deep learning has shown effectiveness in analyzing the diverse forms of SCA signals. However, due to the absence of a comprehensive understanding, co…

Denoising Pre-training for Machine Translation Quality Estimation with Curriculum Learning

AAAI 2023technical

Quality estimation (QE) aims to assess the quality of machine translations when reference translations are unavailable. QE plays a crucial role in many real-world applications of machine translation. Because labeled QE data are usually limited in scale, recent research, such as DirectQE, pre-trains…

Explore and Exploit the Diverse Knowledge in Model Zoo for Domain Generalization

ICML 2023poster

The proliferation of pretrained models, as a result of advancements in pretraining techniques, has led to the emergence of a vast zoo of publicly available models. Effectively utilizing these resources to obtain models with robust out-of-distribution generalization capabilities for downstream tasks…

Capture Human Disagreement Distributions by Calibrated Networks for Natural Language Inference

ACL 2022findings

Natural Language Inference (NLI) datasets contain examples with highly ambiguous labels due to its subjectivity. Several recent efforts have been made to acknowledge and embrace the existence of ambiguity, and explore how to capture the human disagreement distribution. In contrast with directly lear…

When Does Group Invariant Learning Survive Spurious Correlations?

NeurIPS 2022accept

By inferring latent groups in the training data, recent works introduce invariant learning to the case where environment annotations are unavailable. Typically, learning group invariance under a majority/minority split is empirically shown to be effective in improving out-of-distribution generalizat…

Uncertainty Calibration for Ensemble-Based Debiasing Methods

NeurIPS 2021poster

Ensemble-based debiasing methods have been shown effective in mitigating the reliance of classifiers on specific dataset bias, by exploiting the output of a bias-only model to adjust the learning target. In this paper, we focus on the bias-only model in these ensemble-based methods, which plays an i…

Evaluating Natural Language Generation via Unbalanced Optimal Transport

IJCAI 2020poster

Embedding-based evaluation measures have shown promising improvements on the correlation with human judgments in natural language generation. In these measures, various intrinsic metrics are used in the computation, including generalized precision, recall, F-score and the earth mover's distance. How…
