| Challenge: | Existing methods for supplementing Large Language Models (LLMs) with knowledge graphs often introduce noise in the retrieval and reasoning pipeline, hindering their ability to integrate external knowledge for complex multi-hop question answering. |
| Approach: | They propose a framework to enhance LLMs' reasoning capabilities through reflective engagement with knowledge graphs by Query Decoupling, LLM-Driven Knowledge Graph Exploration, and Inference with Knowledge Reconstruction. |
| Outcome: | The proposed framework integrates external knowledge into LLMs and trains them to leverage this knowledge for answering questions. |

| Challenge: | Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) have advanced Chinese Classical Studies (CCS) but the audio dimension of CCS remains underexplored due to a lack of high-quality, domain-specific audio corpora. |
| Approach: | They propose a 119-hour audio corpus comprising 22,000 audio samples to bridge this gap . it encompasses a diverse range of literary genres across six tasks . |
| Outcome: | The proposed corpus encompasses a diverse range of literary genres across six tasks: Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR), Speech-to-Text Translation (S2TT), Speech Emotion Captioning (SEC), Spoken Question Answering ( SQA), Speech Understanding (SU), and Speech Reasoning (SR). |
ProjectEval: A Benchmark for Programming Agents Automated Evaluation on Project-Level Code Generation (2025.findings-acl)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing benchmarks lack the ability to automatically evaluate from users’ perspective and lack the explainability of the results of LLM agents’ code generation capabilities. |
| Approach: | They propose a new benchmark for LLM agents' automated evaluation by simulating user interaction. |
| Outcome: | The proposed benchmark can evaluate the generated projects by user interaction simulation and by code similarity through existing objective indicators. |

| Challenge: | Existing defense mechanisms have not fully deleted harmful knowledge in large language models (LLMs) Existing methods to address safety alignment have not completely deleted harmful information in LLMs. |
| Approach: | They propose a safety alignment strategy that uses scoring neurons to identify useful knowledge in LLMs and pruning the gradients of neurons in U to preserve beneficial information. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method significantly improves model safety while maintaining utility compared to existing methods. |
