Position: Code Benchmarks Should Prioritize Rigor, Reliability, and Reproducibility

ICML 2026poster

Code-related benchmarks play a critical role in evaluating large language models (LLMs), yet their quality fundamentally shapes how the com- munity interprets model capabilities. In the past few years, awareness of benchmark quality has grown. Yet, after a decade-scale (2014 - 2025) survey over 572 …

Learning to Ask: When LLM Agents Meet Unclear Instruction

EMNLP 2025

Equipped with the capability to call functions, modern LLM agents can leverage external tools for addressing a range of tasks unattainable through language skills alone. However, the effective execution of these tools relies heavily not just on the advanced capabilities of LLM agents but also on pre

Advancing Parameter Efficiency in Fine-tuning via Representation Editing

ACL 2024long

Parameter Efficient Fine-Tuning (PEFT) has gained significant attention for its ability to achieve competitive results while updating only a small subset of trainable parameters. Despite the promising performance of current PEFT methods, they present challenges in hyperparameter selection, such as d…

Aligning Large Language Models with Human Preferences through Representation Engineering

ACL 2024long

Aligning large language models (LLMs) with human preferences is crucial for enhancing their utility in terms of helpfulness, truthfulness, safety, harmlessness, and interestingness. Existing methods for achieving this alignment often involve employing reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF…

Promoting Data and Model Privacy in Federated Learning through Quantized LoRA

EMNLP 2024finding

Conventional federated learning primarily aims to secure the privacy of data distributed across multiple edge devices, with the global model dispatched to edge devices for parameter updates during the learning process. However, the development of large language models (LLMs) requires substantial dat…

Enhancing Unsupervised Semantic Parsing with Distributed Contextual Representations

ACL 2023findings

We extend a non-parametric Bayesian model of (Titov and Klementiev, 2011) to deal with homonymy and polysemy by leveraging distributed contextual word and phrase representations pre-trained on a large collection of unlabelled texts. Then, unsupervised semantic parsing is performed by decomposing sen…

Parameter Efficient Multi-task Fine-tuning by Learning to Transfer Token-wise Prompts

EMNLP 2023long findings

Prompt tuning has been proven to be successful on various tasks by incorporating a small number of trainable parameters while freezing large pre-trained language models (PLMs). However, it is still unsettled how to generate more proper prompts for any individual examples and how to extend prompt tu…
