Do LLMs “Feel”? Emotion Circuits Discovery and Control

ICML 2026poster

As the demand for emotional intelligence in large language models (LLMs) grows, a key challenge lies in understanding the internal mechanisms that give rise to emotional expression and in controlling emotions in generated text. This study addresses three core questions: (1) Do LLMs contain context-a…

ManipLVM-R1: Reinforcement Learning for Reasoning in Embodied Manipulation with Large Vision-Language Models

AAAI 2026technical

Large Vision-Language Models (LVLMs) have recently advanced robotic manipulation by leveraging vision for scene perception and language for instruction following. However, existing methods rely heavily on costly human-annotated training datasets, which limits their generalization and causes them to

The Cylindrical Representation Hypothesis for Language Model Steering

ICML 2026poster

Steering is a widely used technique for controlling large language models, yet its effects are often unstable and hard to predict. Existing theoretical accounts are largely based on the Linear Representation Hypothesis (LRH). While LRH assumes that concepts can be orthogonalized for lossless control…

DyFlow: Dynamic Workflow Framework for Agentic Reasoning

NeurIPS 2025poster

Agent systems based on large language models (LLMs) have shown great potential in complex reasoning tasks, but building efficient and generalizable workflows remains a major challenge. Most existing approaches rely on manually designed processes, which limits their adaptability across different task…

Hazards in Daily Life? Enabling Robots to Proactively Detect and Resolve Anomalies

NAACL 2025long

Existing household robots have made significant progress in performing routine tasks, such as cleaning floors or delivering objects. However, a key limitation of these robots is their inability to recognize potential problems or dangers in home environments. For example, a child may pick up and inge…

Injecting Domain-Specific Knowledge into Large Language Models: A Comprehensive Survey

EMNLP 2025

Large Language Models (LLMs) have demonstrated remarkable success in various tasks such as natural language understanding, text summarization, and machine translation. However, their general-purpose nature often limits their effectiveness in domain-specific applications that require specialized know

The Stepwise Deception: Simulating the Evolution from True News to Fake News with LLM Agents

EMNLP 2025

With the growing spread of misinformation online, understanding how true news evolves into fake news has become crucial for early detection and prevention. However, previous research has often assumed fake news inherently exists rather than exploring its gradual formation. To address this gap, we pr

Under the Shadow of Babel: How Language Shapes Reasoning in LLMs

EMNLP 2025

Language is not only a tool for communication but also a medium for human cognition and reasoning. If, as linguistic relativity suggests, the structure of language shapes cognitive patterns, then large language models (LLMs) trained on human language may also internalize the habitual logical structu

Word Form Matters: LLMs’ Semantic Reconstruction under Typoglycemia

ACL 2025finding

Human readers can efficiently comprehend scrambled words, a phenomenon known as Typoglycemia, primarily by relying on word form; if word form alone is insufficient, they further utilize contextual cues for interpretation. While advanced large language models (LLMs) exhibit similar abilities, the und…

BenchLMM: Benchmarking Cross-style Visual Capability of Large Multimodal Models

ECCV 2024poster

"Large Multimodal Models (LMMs) such as GPT-4V and LLaVA have shown remarkable capabilities in visual reasoning on data in common image styles. However, their robustness against diverse style shifts, crucial for practical applications, remains largely unexplored. In this paper, we propose a new benc…
