Multi-Agent Retrieval-Augmented Framework for Evidence-Based Counterspeech Against Health Misinformation

Published in Conference on Language Models (COLM 2025) – Accepted, 2025

A multi-agent LLM framework that generates evidence-based counterspeech grounded in dynamic and static retrieval sources, achieving significant improvements over RAG baselines.

Speaking at the Right Level: Literacy-Controlled Counterspeech Generation with RAG-RL

Published in The 2025 Conference on Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing (EMNLP 2025 Findings) – Accepted, 2025

We propose a Controlled-Literacy framework that integrates Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) and Reinforcement Learning (RL) to generate counterspeech tailored to different health literacy levels.

A Dynamic Fusion Model for Consistent Crisis Response

Published in The 2025 Conference on Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing (EMNLP 2025), 2025

We introduce a dynamic fusion framework that integrates multiple LLMs to generate consistent, high-quality crisis responses across professionalism, actionability, and relevance dimensions.
