CCFQA: A Benchmark for Cross-Lingual and Cross-Modal Speech and Text Factuality Evaluation

AAAI 2026technical

As Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly popularized in the multilingual world, ensuring hallucination-free factuality becomes markedly crucial. However, existing benchmarks for evaluating the reliability of Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) predominantly focus on textual or visual m

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…

KaLM-Embedding-V2: Superior Training Techniques and Data Inspire A Versatile Embedding Model

ICLR 2026poster

Recent advancements in Large Language Models (LLMs)-based text embedding models primarily focus on data scaling or synthesis, yet limited exploration of training techniques and data quality, thereby constraining performance. In this work, we propose KaLM-Embedding-V2, a series of versatile and compa…

Mitigating Translationese Bias in Multilingual LLM-as-a-Judge via Disentangled Information Bottleneck

ICML 2026poster

Large language models (LLMs) have emerged as a standard paradigm for automated multilingual evaluation, yet exhibit systematic biases. In this paper, we identify ``translationese bias'', in which LLMs systematically favor machine-translated text over human-authored references, and this bias is parti…

Scalable Multilingual Multimodal Machine Translation with Speech-Text Fusion

ICLR 2026poster

Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) have achieved notable success in enhancing translation performance by integrating multimodal information. However, existing research primarily focuses on image-guided methods, whose applicability is constrained by the scarcity of multilingual image-text pairs…

From Long to Lean: Performance-aware and Adaptive Chain-of-Thought Compression via Multi-round Refinement

EMNLP 2025

Chain-of-Thought (CoT) reasoning improves performance on complex tasks but introduces significant inference latency due to its verbosity. In this work, we propose Multiround Adaptive Chain-of-Thought Compression ( MACC ), a framework that leverages the token elasticity phenomenon —where overly small

Making LLMs Better Many-to-Many Speech-to-Text Translators with Curriculum Learning

ACL 2025long

Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) have achieved significant success in Speech-to-Text Translation (S2TT) tasks. While most existing research has focused on English-centric translation directions, the exploration of many-to-many translation is still limited by the scarcity of parallel data. To…

ProjectEval: A Benchmark for Programming Agents Automated Evaluation on Project-Level Code Generation

ACL 2025finding

Recently, LLM agents have made rapid progress in improving their programming capabilities. However, existing benchmarks lack the ability to automatically evaluate from users’ perspective, and also lack the explainability of the results of LLM agents’ code generation capabilities. Thus, we introduce…

Towards Efficient CoT Distillation: Self-Guided Rationale Selector for Better Performance with Fewer Rationales

EMNLP 2025

CoT distillation is critical for enhancing small language models’ (SLMs) reasoning by transferring multi-step reasoning capability from the larger teacher models. However, existing work underestimates the importance of rationale quality, focusing primarily on data quantity, which may result in trans

A Lifelong Multilingual Multi-granularity Semantic Alignment Approach via Maximum Co-occurrence Probability

COLING 2024main

Cross-lingual pre-training methods mask and predict tokens in multilingual text to generalize diverse multilingual information. However, due to the lack of sufficient aligned multilingual resources in the pre-training process, these methods may not fully explore the multilingual correlation of maske…

Linguistic Rule Induction Improves Adversarial and OOD Robustness in Large Language Models

COLING 2024main

Ensuring robustness is especially important when AI is deployed in responsible or safety-critical environments. ChatGPT can perform brilliantly in both adversarial and out-of-distribution (OOD) robustness, while other popular large language models (LLMs), like LLaMA-2, ERNIE and ChatGLM, do not perf…

ZO-AdaMU Optimizer: Adapting Perturbation by the Momentum and Uncertainty in Zeroth-Order Optimization

AAAI 2024technical

Lowering the memory requirement in full-parameter training on large models has become a hot research area. MeZO fine-tunes the large language models (LLMs) by just forward passes in a zeroth-order SGD optimizer (ZO-SGD), demonstrating excellent performance with the same GPU memory usage as inference…

Multi-Role Event Argument Extraction as Machine Reading Comprehension with Argument Match Optimization

ICASSP 2022accepted

Extracting arguments for the pre-defined roles is a crucial step for event extraction. Recently, there are some insightful works that view it as a machine reading comprehension problem and achieve significant progress. However, most of them need multi-turns to extract the arguments of each role inde…

Learning to Generate Diverse Questions from Keywords

ICASSP 2020accepted

Diverse text generation has been emerging as an important topic of natural language generation. Traditional studies on question generation mainly investigate how to generate one question based on a given input (one-to-one). In this paper, we focus on a more complex question generation task, i.e., ge…

MedWriter: Knowledge-Aware Medical Text Generation

COLING 2020main

To exploit the domain knowledge to guarantee the correctness of generated text has been a hot topic in recent years, especially for high professional domains such as medical. However, most of recent works only consider the information of unstructured text rather than structured information of the kn…
