Earlier unlearning methods based on gradient ascent suppress such answers but tend to damage replies to ordinary requests. The authors propose Selective Knowledge negation Unlearning (SKU), a two-stage framework that removes harmful knowledge… 2. **[Protecting Privacy in Multimodal Large Language Models with MLLMU-Bench](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/liu-2025-protecting-privacy-multimodal-large-language/)** *(2025 · 24 citations)* Large generative models trained on web-scale data can memorize personal details and later reveal them. Machine unlearning has been studied for text-only LLMs, but multimodal models (MLLMs) are harder: knowledge about a person is spread across images and text, so removing it from one modality may leave it recoverable… 3. **[Modality-Aware Neuron Pruning for Unlearning in Multimodal Large Language Models](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/liu-2025-modality-aware-neuron-pruning-unlearning/)** *(2025 · 12 citations)* Multimodal large language models can memorize private information, and erasing it is harder than in text-only LLMs. ## All works 6 works of theirs in our library, the most cited first; 3 with a page here, the others link their original until we summarise them. 1. **[Towards Safer Large Language Models through Machine Unlearning](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/liu-2024-safer-large-language-models-through/) [Findings of the Association for Computational Linguistics](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/findings/)**Zheyuan Liu, Guangyao Dou, Zhaoxuan Tan, et al.*2024 · 72 citations* 2. **[Protecting Privacy in Multimodal Large Language Models with MLLMU-Bench](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/liu-2025-protecting-privacy-multimodal-large-language/) [Conference of the North American Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics (NAACL)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/naacl/)**Zheyuan Liu, Guangyao Dou, Mengzhao Jia, et al.*2025 · 24 citations* 3. **[Modality-Aware Neuron Pruning for Unlearning in Multimodal Large Language Models](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/liu-2025-modality-aware-neuron-pruning-unlearning/) [Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/acl/)**Zheyuan Liu, Guangyao Dou, Xiangchi Yuan, et al.*2025 · 12 citations* 4. **[DeonticBench: A Benchmark for Reasoning over Rules ↗](https://arxiv.org/abs/2604.04443) arXiv:2604.04443 · no summary yet**Guangyao Dou et al.*2026 · 1 citation* 5. **[Inference-Time Control for Trustworthy Large Language Models ↗](https://doi.org/10.20944/preprints202605.1041.v1) Preprints.org · no summary yet**Yuyang Bai et al.*2026* 6. **[DAR: Deontic Reasoning with Agentic Harnesses ↗](https://arxiv.org/abs/2606.05009) arXiv:2606.05009 · no summary yet**Guangyao Dou et al.*2026* ## Co-authors here 8 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [Meng Jiang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/meng-jiang/) ×3 - [Zhaoxuan Tan](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/zhaoxuan-tan/) ×3 - [Zheyuan Liu](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/zheyuan-liu/) ×3 - [Chunhui Zhang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/chunhui-zhang/) - [Mengzhao Jia](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/mengzhao-jia/) - [Qingkai Zeng](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/qingkai-zeng/) - [Xiangchi Yuan](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/xiangchi-yuan/) - [Yijun Tian](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/yijun-tian/) ## 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/): [ACL 2025](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/acl/2025/) - [Findings of the Association for Computational Linguistics](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/findings/): [Findings of the Association for Computational Linguistics 2024](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/findings/2024/) - [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/) - Preprints.org ## Cited by Papers of our library cite their works 78 times (of the 149,439 papers whose bibliographies we read); [19 citing papers with a page here →](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/guangyao-dou/cited-by/).
