Despite substantial advances in large language models (LLMs), producing factually consistent responses for knowledge-intensive question answering remains challenging. These difficulties are primarily due to hallucination and the limitations of LLMs in bridging long-tail knowledge gaps. To address...

Recent advancements in LLM-based multi-agent systems have demonstrated remarkable collaborative capabilities across complex tasks. To enhance the overall efficiency, existing methods often rely on aggressive graph topology evolution for agents (e.g., node or edge pruning), which risks prematurely...

Recently, large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated impressive performance but still suffer from hallucinations. Model editing has been proposed as a means to correct factual inaccuracies. A challenging scenario is sequential model editing (SME), which aims to rectify errors continuously, ra...

Emotional support conversation systems strive to emulate the empathetic depth of human therapists, yet current approaches often fail due to the “Cognitive Gap”—the inability to discern the latent psychological evaluations driving a user’s distress. Existing retrieval-augmented generation paradigm...

Provider exposure fairness is crucial for sustaining a healthy content ecosystem and preventing monopolization in recommender systems. Yet, most existing methods either incorporate fairness constraints during model training, requiring expensive retraining when fairness objectives change, or rely...

Recent advances in Large Language Models (LLMs) have opened new avenues for sequential recommendation by enabling natural language reasoning over user behavior sequences. A common approach formulates recommendation as a language modeling task, where interaction histories are transformed into prom...
