| Challenge: | Experiments on GPT and other 23 LLMs indicate that tokens widely exist while GPT’s vocabulary behaves the worst: more than 23% long Chinese tokens (i.e., a token with more than two Chinese characters) are either porn or online gambling. |
| Approach: | They propose to locate Polluted Chinese (PoC) tokens in LLMs and build a PoC token detector to label them in vocabularies by considering each token’s semantics and related contents from the search engines. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method predicts that the ratio of “*” related webpages in GPT-4o's training data is around 0.5%. |

| Challenge: | Recent studies show that LLMs’ intrinsic self-correction fails without oracle labels as feedback. |
| Approach: | They propose to use one simple task and three complex tasks with state-of-the-art LLMs like ChatGPT, Llama, and DeepSeek to interpret LLM's intrinsic self-correction. |
| Outcome: | The proposed methods reveal the dark side of LLMs’ intrinsic self-correction for different tasks, especially for those failure cases. |
