ASRU: Activation Steering Meets Reinforcement Unlearning for Multimodal Large Language Models

ICML 2026poster

Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) inevitably memorize sensitive cross-modal information during pretraining, making post-deployment unlearning crucial for safety. Existing methods often evaluate unlearning based on output deviations, neglecting generation quality, which can lead to hallucinati…

Decoupling Skeleton and Flesh: Efficient Multimodal Table Reasoning with Disentangled Alignment and Structure-aware Guidance

ICML 2026spotlight

Reasoning over table images remains challenging for Large Vision-Language Models (LVLMs) due to complex layouts and tightly coupled structure–content information. Existing solutions often depend on expensive supervised training, reinforcement learning, or external tools, limiting efficiency and scal…

Benchmarking and Improving Large Vision-Language Models for Fundamental Visual Graph Understanding and Reasoning

ACL 2025long

Large Vision-Language Models (LVLMs) have demonstrated remarkable performance across diverse tasks. Despite great success, recent studies show that LVLMs encounter substantial limitations when engaging with visual graphs. To study the reason behind these limitations, we propose VGCure, a comprehensi…

SynGraph: A Dynamic Graph-LLM Synthesis Framework for Sparse Streaming User Sentiment Modeling

ACL 2025finding

User reviews on e-commerce platforms exhibit dynamic sentiment patterns driven by temporal and contextual factors. Traditional sentiment analysis methods focus on static reviews, failing to capture the evolving temporal relationship between user sentiment rating and textual content. Sentiment analys…

THCM-CAL: Temporal-Hierarchical Causal Modelling with Conformal Calibration for Clinical Risk Prediction

EMNLP 2025

Automated clinical risk prediction from electronic health records (EHRs) demands modeling both structured diagnostic codes and unstructured narrative notes. However, most prior approaches either handle these modalities separately or rely on simplistic fusion strategies that ignore the directional, h

CHECKWHY: Causal Fact Verification via Argument Structure

ACL 2024long

With the growing complexity of fact verification tasks, the concern with “thoughtful” reasoning capabilities is increasing. However, recent fact verification benchmarks mainly focus on checking a narrow scope of semantic factoids within claims and lack an explicit logical reasoning process. In this…

Denoising Rationalization for Multi-hop Fact Verification via Multi-granular Explainer

EMNLP 2024finding

The success of deep learning models on multi-hop fact verification has prompted researchers to understand the behavior behind their veracity. One feasible way is erasure search: obtaining the rationale by entirely removing a subset of input without compromising verification accuracy. Despite extensi…

EXPLAIN, EDIT, GENERATE: Rationale-Sensitive Counterfactual Data Augmentation for Multi-hop Fact Verification

EMNLP 2023long main

Automatic multi-hop fact verification task has gained significant attention in recent years. Despite impressive results, these well-designed models perform poorly on out-of-domain data. One possible solution is to augment the training data with counterfactuals, which are generated by minimally alter…

Exploring Faithful Rationale for Multi-Hop Fact Verification via Salience-Aware Graph Learning

AAAI 2023technical

The opaqueness of the multi-hop fact verification model imposes imperative requirements for explainability. One feasible way is to extract rationales, a subset of inputs, where the performance of prediction drops dramatically when being removed. Though being explainable, most rationale extraction me…
