LIFT the Veil for the Truth: Principal Weights Emerge after Rank Reduction for Reasoning-Focused Supervised Fine-Tuning

ICML 2025poster

Recent studies have shown that supervised fine-tuning of LLMs on a small number of high-quality datasets can yield strong reasoning capabilities. However, full fine-tuning (Full FT), while powerful, is computationally expensive and susceptible to overfitting and catastrophic forgetting, particularly…

Long-form Hallucination Detection with Self-elicitation

ACL 2025finding

While Large Language Models (LLMs) have exhibited impressive performance in generating long-form content, they frequently present a hazard of producing factual inaccuracies or hallucinations. An effective strategy to mitigate this hazard is to leverage off-the-shelf LLMs to detect hallucinations aft…

Predicting Temporal Sets with Simplified Fully Connected Networks

AAAI 2023technical

Given a sequence of sets, where each set contains an arbitrary number of elements, temporal sets prediction aims to predict which elements will appear in the subsequent set. Existing methods for temporal sets prediction are developed on sophisticated components (e.g., recurrent neural networks, atte…
