Large Language Models (LLMs) face severe challenges in long-context processing, including quadratic computational costs, information forgetting, and the context fragmentation inherent in Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG). We introduce LycheeMemory, a cognitively inspired framework that enables...

Existing long-document question answering systems typically process texts as flat sequences or use heuristic chunking, which overlook the discourse structures that naturally guide human comprehension. We present a discourse-aware hierarchical framework that leverages rhetorical structure theory (...

Large Language Model agents have rapidly evolved from static text generators into dynamic systems capable of executing complex autonomous workflows. To enhance reliability, multi-agent frameworks assigning specialized roles are increasingly adopted to enable self-reflection and mutual auditing. W...

Cross-lingual chain-of-thought (XCoT) with self-consistency markedly enhances multilingual reasoning, yet existing methods remain costly due to extensive sampling of full trajectories across languages. Moreover, multilingual LLM representations vary strongly by language, hindering direct feature...

Large Language Models (LLMs) enhance their problem-solving capability by utilizing external tools. However, in open-world scenarios with massive and evolving tool repositories, existing methods relying on static embedding retrieval or parameter memorization of tools struggle to align user intent...

Emotion Recognition in Conversation (ERC), the task of identifying the emotion of each utterance in a conversation, is crucial for human-machine interaction. Existing LLM-based ERC methods focus on standard prompting and slow thinking for emotion analysis. However, they suffer from the lack of hu...

Emotion Recognition in Conversation (ERC) aims to identify the emotional states of speakers in conversations. Existing ERC methods perform either fast thinking or slow thinking for emotion predictions. The former lacks interpretability of emotion predictions, and the latter focuses on emotion ana...

Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) effectively improves the accuracy of Large Language Models (LLMs). However, retrieval noises significantly undermine the quality of LLMs’ generation, necessitating the development of denoising mechanisms. Previous works extract evidence straightforwardly witho...
