CL-bench: A Benchmark for Context Learning

Published in arXiv, 2026

Current language models (LMs) excel at reasoning over prompts using pre-trained knowledge. However, real-world tasks are far more complex and context-dependent: models must learn from task-specific context and leverage new knowledge beyond what is learned during pre-training to reason and resolve tasks. We term this capability context learning, a crucial ability that humans naturally possess but has been largely overlooked.

What is wrong with your code generated by large language models? An extensive study

Published in Science China Information Sciences, 2026

The increasing development of large language models (LLMs) in code generation has drawn significant attention among researchers. To enhance LLM-based code generation ability, current efforts are predominantly directed towards collecting high-quality datasets and leveraging diverse training technologies. However, there is a notable lack of comprehensive studies examining the limitations and boundaries of existing methods.

Revealing emergent human-like conceptual representations from language prediction

Published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), 2025

People acquire concepts through rich physical and social experiences and use them to understand and navigate the world. In contrast, large language models (LLMs), trained solely through next-token prediction on text, exhibit strikingly human-like behaviors. Are these models developing concepts akin to those in humans?

AgentGym: Evaluating and Training Large Language Model-based Agents across Diverse Environments

Published in Proceedings of the 63rd Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics (Volume 1: Long Papers), 2025

Large language models (LLMs) have emerged as a promising foundation to build generally-capable agents (LLM-based agents) that can handle multi-turn decision-making tasks across various environments. However, the community lacks a unified interactive framework that covers diverse environments for comprehensive evaluation of agents, and enables exploration and learning for their self-improvement.

Searching for Best Practices in Retrieval-Augmented Generation

Published in Proceedings of the 2024 Conference on Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing, 2024

Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) techniques have proven to be effective in integrating up-to-date information, mitigating hallucinations, and enhancing response quality, particularly in specialized domains. While many RAG approaches have been proposed to enhance large language models through query-dependent retrievals, these approaches still suffer from their complex implementation and prolonged response times.
