Code to Think, Think to Code: A Survey on Code-Enhanced Reasoning and Reasoning-Driven Code Intelligence in LLMs

EMNLP 2025

Code and reasoning recently exhibit a mutually reinforcing relationship in large language models (LLMs): Code is abstract, modular, highly structured and has strong logic, guiding reasoning in training and inference. While reasoning translates high-level goals into small executable steps, enable mor

Aligning Large Language Models with Recommendation Knowledge

NAACL 2024findings

Large language models (LLMs) have recently been used as backbones for recommender systems. However, their performance often lags behind conventional methods in standard tasks like retrieval. We attribute this to a mismatch between LLMs’ knowledge and the knowledge crucial for effective recommendatio…

Hierarchical and Incremental Structural Entropy Minimization for Unsupervised Social Event Detection

AAAI 2024technical

As a trending approach for social event detection, graph neural network (GNN)-based methods enable a fusion of natural language semantics and the complex social network structural information, thus showing SOTA performance. However, GNN-based methods can miss useful message correlations. Moreover, t…

Multi-Relational Structural Entropy

UAI 2024poster

Structural Entropy (SE) measures the structural information contained in a graph. Minimizing or maximizing SE helps to reveal or obscure the intrinsic structural patterns underlying graphs in an interpretable manner, finding applications in various tasks driven by networked data. However, SE ignores…

XLTime: A Cross-Lingual Knowledge Transfer Framework for Temporal Expression Extraction

NAACL 2022findings

Temporal Expression Extraction (TEE) is essential for understanding time in natural language. It has applications in Natural Language Processing (NLP) tasks such as question answering, information retrieval, and causal inference. To date, work in this area has mostly focused on English as there is a…
