| Challenge: | Pretrained large language models excel in a variety of natural language processing tasks . however, they pose significant security risks due to their tendency to memorize training data . |
| Approach: | They propose a method to estimate LLM memorization using dynamic, prefix-dependent soft prompts. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method can achieve maximum relative improvement of 135.3% and 39.8% over baseline compared to state-of-the-art methods. |
Contrastive Pre-training for Personalized Expert Finding (2023.findings-emnlp)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing approaches to expert finding are effective for a community question answering platform. |
| Approach: | They propose a CQA-domain Contrastive Pre-training framework for Expert Finding which could learn more comprehensive question representations. |
| Outcome: | The proposed framework could learn more comprehensive question representations on six real-world datasets. |
Controllable Memorization in LLMs via Weight Pruning (2025.emnlp-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing studies have focused on mitigating memorization, but the deliberate control of memorisation has been underexplored. |
| Approach: | They propose a gradient-based weight pruning framework to control memorization rates in large language models by fine-grained control over pruning parameters. |
| Outcome: | The proposed framework enables models to suppress or enhance memorization based on application-specific requirements. |
Pre-trained Personalized Review Summarization with Effective Salience Estimation (2023.findings-acl)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Pretrained language models (PLMs) are a new paradigm in text generation for the strong ability of natural language comprehension. |
| Approach: | They propose a pre-trained personalized review summarization method that incorporates personalized information into the salience estimation of input reviews. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method performs better than the state-of-the-art methods on real-world datasets. |
