B-Spar: Bayesian Sparse-Reward Modeling for RL-based Image Editing

ICML 2026poster

Autonomous image-editing agents powered by multimodal large language models (MLLMs) improve transparency and controllability by translating high-level instructions into tool-mediated edit sequences, but training such agents with reinforcement learning often relies on dense proxy rewards (e.g., incre…

Intuitive or Dependent? Investigating LLMs’ Behavior Style to Conflicting Prompts

ACL 2024long

This study investigates the behaviors of Large Language Models (LLMs) when faced with conflicting prompts versus their internal memory. This will not only help to understand LLMs’ decision mechanism but also benefit real-world applications, such as retrieval-augmented generation (RAG).Drawing on cog…

CoVariance-based Causal Debiasing for Entity and Relation Extraction

EMNLP 2023long findings

Joint entity and relation extraction tasks aim to recognize named entities and extract relations simultaneously. Suffering from a variety of data biases, such as data selection bias, and distribution bias (out of distribution, long-tail distribution), serious concerns can be witnessed to threaten th…

Learn to Adapt for Generalized Zero-Shot Text Classification

ACL 2022long

Generalized zero-shot text classification aims to classify textual instances from both previously seen classes and incrementally emerging unseen classes. Most existing methods generalize poorly since the learned parameters are only optimal for seen classes rather than for both classes, and the param…

P-INT: A Path-based Interaction Model for Few-shot Knowledge Graph Completion

EMNLP 2021finding

Few-shot knowledge graph completion is to infer the unknown facts (i.e., query head-tail entity pairs) of a given relation with only a few observed reference entity pairs. Its general process is to first encode the implicit relation of an entity pair and then match the relation of a query entity pai…
