Human cognition excels at extending knowledge through analogy, where word meanings evolve along structured pathways from concrete prototypes to abstract senses via metaphor and metonymy. Do Large Language Models (LLMs) internalize this generative logic, or merely mimic statistical patterns? To in...

Civil judicial cases are highly complicated, posing significant challenges for Large Language Models (LLMs) for Legal Judgment Prediction (LJP). While judges manage this complexity through the dispute focus—a mechanism distilling cases into core issues—existing research largely overlooks this too...

Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) face critical privacy challenges due to the indiscriminate memorization of sensitive data. Existing unlearning methods, largely adapted from Euclidean paradigms, suffer from a geometric mismatch: they fail to disentangle specific instances from general con...

Large Language Models (LLMs) face a fundamental challenge with delayed disambiguation: How is the meaning of an ambiguous word updated when clarifying context arrives only after it has been processed? While LLMs possess the latent capacity to resolve such ambiguities—as revealed when a full, non-...

Conventional Euclidean geometries lead to structural distortion and entangle core pharmacophoric identities with peripheral groups. Existing molecule-language models, relying on linear or uniform encodings, often obscure the hierarchical organization of chemical semantics. To address this, we pro...

Hateful videos have become prevalent on online platforms, highlighting an urgent need for effective detection. However, existing studies primarily focus on binary classification and fail to provide contextual rationales that reveal the implicit meanings behind these judgments, significantly under...
