Training Prompt Matters: State-Adaptive Optimization for Robust Fine-Tuning

ICML 2026poster

While prompt engineering is instrumental in maximizing the capabilities of Large Language Models (LLMs) during inference, the role of prompts during training remains critically underexplored. Prevailing fine-tuning paradigms typically treat training prompts as mere surface forms, assuming that seman…

Joint Knowledge Editing for Information Enrichment and Probability Promotion

AAAI 2025technical

Knowledge stored in large language models requires timely updates to reflect the dynamic nature of real-world information. To update the knowledge, most knowledge editing methods focus on the low layers, since recent probes into the knowledge recall process reveal that the answer information is enri…

No Loss, No Gain: Gated Refinement and Adaptive Compression for Prompt Optimization

NeurIPS 2025poster

Prompt engineering is crucial for leveraging the full potential of large language models (LLMs). While automatic prompt optimization offers a scalable alternative to costly manual design, generating effective prompts remains challenging. Existing methods often struggle to stably generate improved pr…

A Simple and Effective Method to Improve Zero-Shot Cross-Lingual Transfer Learning

COLING 2022main

Existing zero-shot cross-lingual transfer methods rely on parallel corpora or bilingual dictionaries, which are expensive and impractical for low-resource languages. To disengage from these dependencies, researchers have explored training multilingual models on English-only resources and transferrin…

Parameter-efficient Continual Learning Framework in Industrial Real-time Text Classification System

NAACL 2022industry

Catastrophic forgetting is a challenge for model deployment in industrial real-time systems, which requires the model to quickly master a new task without forgetting the old one. Continual learning aims to solve this problem; however, it usually updates all the model parameters, resulting in extensi…
