Construct a Sense-Frame Aligned Predicate Lexicon for Chinese AMR Corpus (2020.lrec-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing lexicons blur senses and frames of predicates, which needs to be refined to meet word sense disambiguation and event extraction tasks. |
| Approach: | They propose to construct a predicate lexicon for Chinese AMR corpus with 14,389 senses and 10,800 frames of 8,470 words. |
| Outcome: | The proposed lexicon includes 14,389 senses and 10,800 frames of 8,470 words. |
Mulan: A Multi-Level Alignment Model for Video Question Answering (2023.findings-emnlp)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing methods focus on visual-language alignment at the video level, but they do not account for fine-grained semantic interaction between video and text. |
| Approach: | They propose a multi-level Alignment Model for Video Question Answering that establishes alignment between visual and textual modalities at the object-level, frame-level and video-level. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model outperforms state-of-the-art methods even with a small amount of extra visual-language pre-training data and a reduced number of trainable parameters. |
Don’t Corrupt the Fact: A Trustworthy RAG Watermarking Framework based on Dual Factual Shield (2026.acl-long)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing watermarking methods are fact-agnostic and cause "faithfulness hallucinations" a novel framework to enforce knowledge loyalty is proposed to improve watermarks . |
| Approach: | They propose a new framework that enforces knowledge loyalty by spoofing terms from retrieved contexts and prompt-based semantic guidance to protect against factual corruption. |
| Outcome: | The proposed framework reduces the Knowledge Corruption Rate while maintaining its original high security and robustness. |

Peizhuo Lv, Ruihua Zhou, Yunpeng Li, Ruigang Liang, Xingshuo Han, XiaoFeng Wang, Wei Dong, Yuling Liu
| Challenge: | Existing reasoning-enhanced large language models fail to provide reliable attribution of reasoning behavior once it is transferred through knowledge distillation. |
| Approach: | They propose to embed a reasoning-length gap in a model by querying a target domain and training a local student to imitate its outputs. |
| Outcome: | et al. show that ReasMark outperforms baselines while preserving task utility. |
MirageBackdoor: A Stealthy Attack that Induces Think-Well-Answer-Wrong Reasoning (2026.acl-long)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing CoT backdoor attacks manipulate intermediate reasoning steps to steer the model toward incorrect answers, but these corrupted reasoning traces are readily detected by prevalent process-monitoring defenses. |
| Approach: | They propose a backdoor attack that exploits the model's post-output space to preserve clean CoTs while selectively steering the final answer toward a specific target. |
| Outcome: | Experiments show that MirageBD achieves over 90% success rate across four datasets and five models with a poison ratio of only 5%. |
