LLM-powered Personalized Agent for Long-term Dialogue](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/li-2025-hello-again-llm-powered-personalized/)** *(2025 · 55 citations)* Most open-domain chatbots are built for short, single-session exchanges. Real companionship, however, requires remembering past conversations and keeping track of who the user and the bot are. The authors present LD-Agent, a model-agnostic framework that splits long-term dialogue into three separately trainable… 2. **[Search and Refine During Think: Facilitating Knowledge Refinement for Improved Retrieval-Augmented Reasoning](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/shi-2025-search-refine-during-think-facilitating/)** *(2025 · 18 citations)* Retrieval-augmented LLMs trained with reinforcement learning tend to reason over whole retrieved documents, which are often noisy. 3. **[Neuron-Level Sequential Editing for Large Language Models](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/jiang-2025-neuron-level-sequential-editing-large/)** *(2025 · 15 citations)* Large language models store facts that go out of date, and full retraining is expensive. Parameter-editing methods such as ROME and MEMIT work well for a single round of edits. When edits are applied one after another, however, they tend to lose earlier edits ("model forgetting") and can collapse into incoherent… 4. **[AdaSteer: Your Aligned LLM is Inherently an Adaptive Jailbreak Defender](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/zhao-2025-adasteer-your-aligned-llm-is/)** *(2025 · 11 citations)* Safety-aligned LLMs can still be jailbroken. Activation steering is a training-free defense that pushes hidden states toward refusal, but it applies one fixed strength to every input. That fixed setting under-protects against some attacks and causes more false refusals of harmless requests. AdaSteer makes the… 5. **[Beware of Your Po! Measuring and Mitigating AI Safety Risks in Role-Play Fine-Tuning of LLMs](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/zhao-2025-beware-your-po-measuring-mitigating/)** *(2025 · 9 citations)* The paper examines how fine-tuning LLMs for character role-play affects their safety. The authors fine-tuned LLaMA-3-8B-Instruct separately for each of 95 characters from RoleBench. Role-play quality improved, but the models refused harmful AdvBench requests much less often, and villainous characters lost the most… 6. **[MPO: Multilingual Safety Alignment via Reward Gap Optimization](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/zhao-2025-mpo-multilingual-safety-alignment-reward/)** *(2025 · 7 citations)* Safety-tuned LLMs refuse harmful requests reliably in English but much less so in lower-resource languages. ## Co-authors here 12 of 21 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [Tat-Seng Chua](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/tat-seng-chua/) ×4 - [Yang Deng](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/yang-deng/) ×4 - [Bing Qin](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/bing-qin/) ×3 - [Jiahe Guo](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/jiahe-guo/) ×3 - [Ting Liu](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/ting-liu/) ×3 - [Weixiang Zhao](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/weixiang-zhao/) ×3 - [Xiang Wang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/xiang-wang/) ×3 - [Yanyan Zhao](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/yanyan-zhao/) ×3 - [Yulin Hu](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/yulin-hu/) ×3 - [Junfeng Fang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/junfeng-fang/) ×2 - [Xingyu Sui](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/xingyu-sui/) ×2 - [Xinyang Han](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/xinyang-han/) ×2 ## Venues Where their works here were published, the most works first, with the editions of those that have a page. - [Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/acl/) ×3: [ACL 2025](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/acl/2025/) ×3 - [Conference on Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing (EMNLP)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/emnlp/): [EMNLP 2025](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/emnlp/2025/) - [Conference of the North American Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics (NAACL)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/naacl/): [NAACL 2025](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/naacl/2025/) - [Conference on Neural Information Processing Systems (NeurIPS)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/neural-information-processing-systems/): [NeurIPS 2025](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/neural-information-processing-systems/2025/) ## Cited by Papers of our library cite their works 92 times (of the 149,439 papers whose bibliographies we read); [25 citing papers with a page here →](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/an-zhang/cited-by/).
