Learning to Disentangle Latent Reasoning Rules with Language VAEs: A Systematic Study

AAAI 2026technical

Incorporating explicit reasoning rules within the latent space of language models (LMs) offers a promising pathway to enhance generalisation, interpretability, and controllability. While current Transformer-based language models have shown strong performance on Natural Language Inference (NLI) tasks

Web-CogReasoner: Towards Knowledge-Induced Cognitive Reasoning for Web Agents

ICLR 2026poster

Multimodal large-scale models have significantly advanced the development of web agents, enabling them to perceive and interact with the digital environment in a manner analogous to human cognition. In this paper, we argue that web agents must first acquire sufficient knowledge to engage in cognitiv…

Graph-Induced Syntactic-Semantic Spaces in Transformer-Based Variational AutoEncoders

NAACL 2024findings

The injection of syntactic information in Variational AutoEncoders (VAEs) can result in an overall improvement of performances and generalisation. An effective strategy to achieve such a goal is to separate the encoding of distributional semantic features and syntactic structures into heterogeneous…

Learning Disentangled Semantic Spaces of Explanations via Invertible Neural Networks

ACL 2024long

Disentangled latent spaces usually have better semantic separability and geometrical properties, which leads to better interpretability and more controllable data generation. While this has been well investigated in Computer Vision, in tasks such as image disentanglement, in the NLP domain, sentence…
