Learning with Noisy Labels (LNL) is a challenge where the collected training set can contain incorrect or corrupted labels. Most existing solutions distinguish clean samples from noisy samples and query human experts on noisy samples for denoising. However, these solutions often operate under the unrealistic assumption that the distribution of classes is uniform, overlooking the skewed and imbalanced distributions frequently encountered in real-world scenarios. In this case, we empirically reveal that previous solutions suffer from both selection bias and training bias, leading to distinguish clean samples from noisy samples hardly. In this paper, our work introduces the imbalanced learning with noisy labels (i-LNL) task, which seeks to let the model learn from noisy labels within imbalanced distributions. A new benchmark (ImbaLNL-Bench) comprised of some synthetic and real-world datasets is created to provide a thorough representation of practical use cases. Besides, we propose an innovative collaborative learning framework DeCo for i-LNL tasks. Specifically, we first conduct debiased sample selection, consisting of a robust expert model and a debiased-enhanced threshold strategy, to better separate clean samples from noisy samples, especially for the tail classes. Then we feed selected clean samples to active annotator large language models (LLMs) for re-annotating noisy samples using in-context learning, which can better reduce human effort. Ultimately, we employ distinct loss functions adept at managing subsets with varying degrees of label noise. Extensive experimental results on synthetic and real-world datasets show the effectiveness and superiority of our method.

Despite the rapid progress of LLMs, their evaluation remains hindered by static, manually curated benchmarks with limited task coverage and poor adaptability to emerging domains. Existing automated approaches typically operate within fixed task schemas and often fail to autonomously discover new evaluation dimensions, limiting both scalability and effectiveness. To address these gaps, we propose AutoTaskEval, an automated framework that constructs domain-specific benchmarks directly from unstructured corpora. Using a refined Bloom’s Taxonomy, the framework systematically discovers tasks, enriches contextual grounding via iterative Socratic prompting, and generates diverse, progressively challenging evaluation instances. Applied to the complex and knowledge-intensive legal domain, AutoTaskEval uncovers a broader and more fine-grained task space than expert-curated benchmarks while producing high-quality instances that preserve established model-level evaluation trends. We further validate its robustness in a low-structure e-commerce review domain. Together, these results show that AutoTaskEval enables scalable, adaptive, and high-fidelity LLM assessment across domains and model families, advancing autonomous and capability-sensitive evaluation.

Long-form outline generation requires satisfying multiple competing objectives simultaneously: outlines must be engaging, well-organized, topically relevant, and comprehensive while maintaining logical consistency across hierarchical structures. Current approaches either rely on expensive multi-turn interactions with large language models or employ procedural refinement pipelines that cannot systematically learn from critique. We present Logic-RL, a framework that transforms critique-guided outline refinement into a learnable policy through reinforcement learning. Our approach constructs refinement trajectories from teacher demonstrations, synthesizes explicit reasoning chains that decompose the critique-revision process, and optimizes a refinement policy using group relative policy optimization with structure-aware rewards. Experiments on FreshWiki and WikiOutline demonstrate that Logic-RL achieves substantial improvements over strong baselines, with the 0.6B model obtaining 79.17% relative gain and the 1.7B model achieving 8.67% improvement in average rubric scores compared to the best existing methods. Further analysis reveals that learned refinement policies generalize across domains and can be iteratively applied, with quality continuing to improve through three refinement rounds before diminishing returns.

Long-form outline generation for expository articles requires both comprehensive knowledge coverage and logical coherence, which is essential for creating detailed Wikipedia-like content. However, existing methods face critical limitations: outlines generated in the pre-writing stage often have low knowledge density and lack detail, while retrieval-augmented approaches struggle to maintain logical coherence across retrieved information. Additionally, unlike human writers who can iteratively improve through peer feedback and reference similar topics, current approaches lack effective mechanisms for systematic outline refinement. To address these challenges, we propose Logic, a Long-form Outline Generation system via Imitative and Critical self-refinement that mimics human writers’ refinement process. Logic establishes a coherent planning framework and structured knowledge base, learns from similar topic outlines through imitation, and continuously improves through model-based critique. Experiments on FreshWiki and our dataset WikiOutline show that, compared to the best baseline, Logic’s long-form outlines are more organized (with increases of 22.85% and 21.65% respectively) and more logically coherent (with increases of 16.19% and 12.24% respectively). Human evaluation further validates Logic’s effectiveness in generating comprehensive and well-structured long-form outlines.

Parameter-efficient fine-tuning (PEFT) large language models (LLMs) have shown impressive performance in various downstream tasks. However, in many real-world scenarios, the collected training data inevitably contains noisy labels. To learn from noisy labels, most solutions select samples with small losses for model training. However, the selected samples, in turn, impact the loss computation in the next iteration. An inaccurate initial selection can create a vicious cycle, leading to suboptimal performance. To break this cycle, we propose Delora, a novel framework that decouples the sample selection from model training. For sample selection, Delora establishes a noisy label detector by introducing clean and noisy LoRA. Benefiting from the memory effect, the clean LoRA is encouraged to memorize clean data, while the noisy LoRA is constrained to memorize mislabeled data, which serves as a learnable threshold for selecting clean and noisy samples. For model training, Delora can use carefully selected samples to fine-tune language models seamlessly. Experimental results on synthetic and real-world noisy datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of Delora in noisy label detection and text classification.
