Can Large Language Models Resolve Semantic Discrepancy in Self-Destructive Subcultures? Evidence from Jirai Kei

Self-destructive behaviors are linked to complex psychological states and can be challenging to diagnose. These behaviors may be even harder to identify within subcultural groups due to their unique expressions. As large language models (LLMs) are applied across various fields, some researchers have begun exploring their application for detecting self-destructive behaviors. Motivated by this, we investigate self-destructive behavior detection within subcultures using current LLM-based methods. However, these methods have two main challenges: (1) Knowledge Lag: Subcultural slang evolves rapidly, faster than LLMs' training cycles; and (2) Semantic Misalignment: it is challenging to grasp the specific and nuanced expressions unique to subcultures. To address these issues, we proposed Subcultural Alignment Solver (SAS), a multi-agent framework that incorporates automatic retrieval and subculture alignment, significantly enhancing the performance of LLMs in detecting self-destructive behavior. Our experimental results show that SAS outperforms the current advanced multi-agent framework OWL. Notably, it competes well with fine-tuned LLMs. We hope that SAS will advance the field of self-destructive behavior detection in subcultural contexts and serve as a valuable resource for future researchers.

CAST: Mitigating Object Hallucination in Large Vision-Language Models via Caption-Guided Visual Attention Steering

Although Large Vision-Language Models (LVLMs) have demonstrated remarkable performance on downstream tasks, they frequently produce contents that deviate from visual information, leading to object hallucination. To tackle this, recent works mostly depend on expensive manual annotations and training cost, or decoding strategies which significantly increase inference time. In this work, we observe that LVLMs' attention to visual information is significantly enhanced when answering caption queries compared to non-caption queries. Inspired by this phenomenon, we propose Caption-guided Visual Attention Steering (CAST), a training-free, plug-and-play hallucination mitigation method that leverages the attention activation pattern corresponding to caption queries to enhance LVLMs' visual perception capability. Specifically, we use probing techniques to identify attention heads that are highly sensitive to caption queries and estimate optimized steering directions for their outputs. This steering strengthens LVLM's fine-grained visual perception capabilities, thereby effectively mitigating object hallucination. CAST reduced object hallucination by an average of 6.03% across five widely used LVLMs and five benchmarks including both discriminative and generative tasks, demonstrating state-of-the-art performance while adding little inference cost and preserving other foundational capabilities.

The Molecular Structure of Thought: Mapping the Topology of Long Chain-of-Thought Reasoning

Large language models (LLMs) often fail to learn effective long chain-of-thought (Long CoT) reasoning from human or non-Long-CoT LLMs imitation. To understand this, we propose that effective and learnable Long CoT trajectories feature stable molecular-like structures in unified view, which are formed by three interaction types: Deep-Reasoning (covalent-like), Self-Reflection (hydrogen-bond-like), and Self-Exploration (van der Waals-like). Analysis of distilled trajectories reveals these structures emerge from Long CoT fine-tuning, not keyword imitation. We introduce Effective Semantic Isomers and show that only bonds promoting fast entropy convergence support stable Long CoT learning, while structural competition impairs training. Drawing on these findings, we present Mole-Syn, a distribution-transfer-graph method that guides synthesis of effective Long CoT structures, boosting performance and RL stability across benchmarks.

HIT-SCIR at MMNLU-22: Consistency Regularization for Multilingual Spoken Language Understanding

Multilingual spoken language understanding (SLU) consists of two sub-tasks, namely intent detection and slot filling. To improve the performance of these two sub-tasks, we propose to use consistency regularization based on a hybrid data augmentation strategy. The consistency regularization enforces the predicted distributions for an example and its semantically equivalent augmentation to be consistent. We conduct experiments on the MASSIVE dataset under both full-dataset and zero-shot settings. Experimental results demonstrate that our proposed method improves the performance on both intent detection and slot filling tasks. Our system\footnote{The code will be available at \url{https://github.com/bozheng-hit/MMNLU-22-HIT-SCIR}.} ranked 1st in the MMNLU-22 competition under the full-dataset setting.

SDIF-DA: A Shallow-to-Deep Interaction Framework with Data Augmentation for Multi-modal Intent Detection

Multi-modal intent detection aims to utilize various modalities to understand the user's intentions, which is essential for the deployment of dialogue systems in real-world scenarios. The two core challenges for multi-modal intent detection are (1) how to effectively align and fuse different features of modalities and (2) the limited labeled multi-modal intent training data. In this work, we introduce a shallow-to-deep interaction framework with data augmentation (SDIF-DA) to address the above challenges. Firstly, SDIF-DA leverages a shallow-to-deep interaction module to progressively and effectively align and fuse features across text, video, and audio modalities. Secondly, we propose a ChatGPT-based data augmentation approach to automatically augment sufficient training data. Experimental results demonstrate that SDIF-DA can effectively align and fuse multi-modal features by achieving state-of-the-art performance. In addition, extensive analyses show that the introduced data augmentation approach can successfully distill knowledge from the large language model.

GL-CLeF: A Global-Local Contrastive Learning Framework for Cross-lingual Spoken Language Understanding

Due to high data demands of current methods, attention to zero-shot cross-lingual spoken language understanding (SLU) has grown, as such approaches greatly reduce human annotation effort. However, existing models solely rely on shared parameters, which can only perform implicit alignment across languages. We present Global--Local Contrastive Learning Framework (GL-CLeF) to address this shortcoming. Specifically, we employ contrastive learning, leveraging bilingual dictionaries to construct multilingual views of the same utterance, then encourage their representations to be more similar than negative example pairs, which achieves to explicitly aligned representations of similar sentences across languages. In addition, a key step in GL-CLeF is a proposed Local and Global component, which achieves a fine-grained cross-lingual transfer (i.e., sentence-level Local intent transfer, token-level Local slot transfer, and semantic-level Global transfer across intent and slot). Experiments on MultiATIS++ show that GL-CLeF achieves the best performance and successfully pulls representations of similar sentences across languages closer.

Injecting Word Information with Multi-Level Word Adapter for Chinese Spoken Language Understanding

In this paper, we improve Chinese spoken language understanding (SLU) by injecting word information. Previous studies on Chinese SLU do not consider the word information, failing to detect word boundaries that are beneficial for intent detection and slot filling. To address this issue, we propose a multi-level word adapter to inject word information for Chinese SLU, which consists of (1) sentence-level word adapter, which directly fuses the sentence representations of the word information and character information to perform intent detection and (2) character-level word adapter, which is applied at each character for selectively controlling weights on word information as well as character information. Experimental results on two Chinese SLU datasets show that our model can capture useful word information and achieve state-of-the-art performance.

Text is no more Enough! A Benchmark for Profile-based Spoken Language Understanding

Current researches on spoken language understanding (SLU) heavily are limited to a simple setting: the plain text-based SLU that takes the user utterance as input and generates its corresponding semantic frames (e.g., intent and slots). Unfortunately, such a simple setting may fail to work in complex real-world scenarios when an utterance is semantically ambiguous, which cannot be achieved by the text-based SLU models. In this paper, we first introduce a new and important task, Profile-based Spoken Language Understanding (ProSLU), which requires the model that not only relies on the plain text but also the supporting profile information to predict the correct intents and slots. To this end, we further introduce a large-scale human-annotated Chinese dataset with over 5K utterances and their corresponding supporting profile information (Knowledge Graph (KG), User Profile (UP), Context Awareness (CA)). In addition, we evaluate several state-of-the-art baseline models and explore a multi-level knowledge adapter to effectively incorporate profile information. Experimental results reveal that all existing text-based SLU models fail to work when the utterances are semantically ambiguous and our proposed framework can effectively fuse the supporting information for sentence-level intent detection and token-level slot filling. Finally, we summarize key challenges and provide new points for future directions, which hopes to facilitate the research.

A Co-Interactive Transformer for Joint Slot Filling and Intent Detection

Intent detection and slot filling are two main tasks for building a spoken language understanding (SLU) system. The two tasks are closely related and the information of one task can be utilized in the other task. Previous studies either model the two tasks separately or only consider the single information flow from intent to slot. None of the prior approaches model the bidirectional connection between the two tasks simultaneously. In this paper, we propose a Co-Interactive Transformer to consider the cross-impact between the two tasks. Instead of adopting the self-attention mechanism in vanilla Transformer, we propose a co-interactive module to consider the cross-impact by building a bidirectional connection between the two related tasks. In addition, the proposed co-interactive module can be stacked to incrementally enhance each other with mutual features. The experimental results on two public datasets (SNIPS and ATIS) show that our model achieves the state-of-the-art performance with considerable improvements (+3.4% and +0.9% on overall acc). Extensive experiments empirically verify that our model successfully captures the mutual interaction knowledge.

CoSDA-ML: Multi-Lingual Code-Switching Data Augmentation for Zero-Shot Cross-Lingual NLP

Multi-lingual contextualized embeddings, such as multilingual-BERT (mBERT), have shown success in a variety of zero-shot cross-lingual tasks. However, these models are limited by having inconsistent contextualized representations of subwords across different languages. Existing work addresses this issue by bilingual projection and fine-tuning technique. We propose a data augmentation framework to generate multi-lingual code-switching data to fine-tune mBERT, which encourages model to align representations from source and multiple target languages once by mixing their context information. Compared with the existing work, our method does not rely on bilingual sentences for training, and requires only one training process for multiple target languages. Experimental results on five tasks with 19 languages show that our method leads to significantly improved performances for all the tasks compared with mBERT.

DCR-Net: A Deep Co-Interactive Relation Network for Joint Dialog Act Recognition and Sentiment Classification

In dialog system, dialog act recognition and sentiment classification are two correlative tasks to capture speakers intentions, where dialog act and sentiment can indicate the explicit and the implicit intentions separately. Most of the existing systems either treat them as separate tasks or just jointly model the two tasks by sharing parameters in an implicit way without explicitly modeling mutual interaction and relation. To address this problem, we propose a Deep Co-Interactive Relation Network (DCR-Net) to explicitly consider the cross-impact and model the interaction between the two tasks by introducing a co-interactive relation layer. In addition, the proposed relation layer can be stacked to gradually capture mutual knowledge with multiple steps of interaction. Especially, we thoroughly study different relation layers and their effects. Experimental results on two public datasets (Mastodon and Dailydialog) show that our model outperforms the state-of-the-art joint model by 4.3% and 3.4% in terms of F1 score on dialog act recognition task, 5.7% and 12.4% on sentiment classification respectively. Comprehensive analysis empirically verifies the effectiveness of explicitly modeling the relation between the two tasks and the multi-steps interaction mechanism. Finally, we employ the Bidirectional Encoder Representation from Transformer (BERT) in our framework, which can further boost our performance in both tasks.

Dialogue State Induction Using Neural Latent Variable Models

Dialogue state modules are a useful component in a task-oriented dialogue system. Traditional methods find dialogue states by manually labeling training corpora, upon which neural models are trained. However, the labeling process can be costly, slow, error-prone, and more importantly, cannot cover the vast range of domains in real-world dialogues for customer service. We propose the task of dialogue state induction, building two neural latent variable models that mine dialogue states automatically from unlabeled customer service dialogue records. Results show that the models can effectively find meaningful slots. In addition, equipped with induced dialogue states, a state-of-the-art dialogue system gives better performance compared with not using a dialogue state module.

Dynamic Fusion Network for Multi-Domain End-to-end Task-Oriented Dialog

Recent studies have shown remarkable success in end-to-end task-oriented dialog system. However, most neural models rely on large training data, which are only available for a certain number of task domains, such as navigation and scheduling. This makes it difficult to scalable for a new domain with limited labeled data. However, there has been relatively little research on how to effectively use data from all domains to improve the performance of each domain and also unseen domains. To this end, we investigate methods that can make explicit use of domain knowledge and introduce a shared-private network to learn shared and specific knowledge. In addition, we propose a novel Dynamic Fusion Network (DF-Net) which automatically exploit the relevance between the target domain and each domain. Results show that our model outperforms existing methods on multi-domain dialogue, giving the state-of-the-art in the literature. Besides, with little training data, we show its transferability by outperforming prior best model by 13.9\% on average.
