百川學程捷報頻傳！由電機系游家牧教授指導、百川學程大二盧禹安同學擔任第一作者，並與百川優秀校友蔡侑霖同學等人共同合作的研究成果，於 8 月 21 日正式獲國際頂尖自然語言處理會議 EMNLP 2026 錄取！
EMNLP（Conference on Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing）為全球人工智慧與自然語言處理領域公認最高指標的頂級學術會議之一。大二學子能以第一作者身分在此殿堂級會議發表論文，展現了極具突破性的研究實力與學術天賦。
- 論文題目：Hidden Thoughts Are Not Secret: Reasoning-Trace Exposure in LLMs
- 論文作者：Yu-An Lu（第一作者 / 百川大二）、Ci-Yang Tsai、Yu-Lin Tsai（百川校友）、Raluca Ada Popa、Chia-Mu Yu（通訊作者 / 電機系）
- 研究核心：探討如何竊取大型語言模型（LLMs）中被人為隱藏的內部推理過程（Reasoning Trace），高度切中當前生成式 AI 安全與隱私的前沿焦點（參考報導：https://today.line.me/tw/v3/article/60LrvBv ）。
- 薪火相傳：系友蔡侑霖當年在大一時，即以傑出成果發表於頂級 AI 會議 NeurIPS 並獲媒體廣泛報導（新聞回顧：https://news.ltn.com.tw/news/life/breakingnews/3747822 ）。如今蔡學長攜手學弟盧禹安共同鑽研攻頂，完美詮釋「學長帶學弟」的跨屆傳承典範！
再次恭喜盧禹安同學、蔡侑霖校友及游家牧教授研究團隊！百川全體師生同感榮耀！
We are thrilled to announce outstanding news from the Arete Honors Program!
Under the guidance of Prof. Chia-Mu Yu from the Department of Electronics and Electrical Engineering, a cutting-edge research paper first-authored by freshman Yu-An Lu, co-authored with Arete alumnus Yu-Lin Tsai and fellow collaborators, was officially accepted by EMNLP 2026 on August 21!
EMNLP (Conference on Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing) is globally recognized as one of the premier conferences in artificial intelligence and NLP. Publishing as a first author as a sophomore at such a prestigious venue demonstrates exceptional talent and academic dedication.
- Paper Title: Hidden Thoughts Are Not Secret: Reasoning-Trace Exposure in LLMs
- Authors: Yu-An Lu (First Author / Freshman, Baichuan Program), Ci-Yang Tsai, Yu-Lin Tsai (Alumnus, Baichuan Program), Raluca Ada Popa, Chia-Mu Yu (Corresponding Author / Dept. of ECE)
- Research Focus: The study investigates methods to extract and steal intentionally hidden internal reasoning traces within Large Language Models (LLMs), directly addressing urgent frontier concerns in generative AI security and privacy (Related News: https://today.line.me/tw/v3/article/60LrvBv ).
- Pass the Torch: As a freshman, alumnus Yu-Lin Tsai also published at the prestigious NeurIPS conference, drawing widespread media acclaim (Media Report: https://news.ltn.com.tw/news/life/breakingnews/3747822 ). Today, Tsai returns to mentor and collaborate with Lu, serving as an inspiring exemplar of senior-junior mentorship and intellectual legacy in our community.
Warmest congratulations to Yu-An Lu, Yu-Lin Tsai, and Prof. Chia-Mu Yu’s research team on this phenomenal achievement!
