LBLLM: Lightweight Binarization of Large Language Models via Three-Stage Distillation

Siqing Song, Chuang Wang Institute of automation, Chinese academy of science, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Yong Lang Huawei Technologies Ltd., Yi Yang Huawei Technologies Ltd., Xu-Yao Zhang

原文摘要

Deploying large language models (LLMs) in resource-constrained environments is hindered by heavy computational and memory requirements. We present LBLLM, a lightweight binarization framework that achieves effective W(1+1)A4 quantization through a novel three-stage quantization strategy. The framework proceeds as follows: (1) initialize a high-quality quantized model via PTQ; (2) quantize binarized weights, group-wise bitmaps, and quantization parameters through layer-wise distillation while keeping activations in full precision; and (3) training learnable activation quantization factors to dynamically quantize activations to 4 bits. This decoupled design mitigates interference between weight and activation quantization, yielding greater training stability and better inference accuracy. LBLLM, trained only using 0.016B tokens with a single GPU, surpasses existing state-of-the-art binarization methods on W2A4 quantization settings across tasks of language modeling, commonsense QA, and language understanding. These results demonstrate that extreme low-bit quantization of LLMs can be both practical and highly effective without introducing any extra high-precision channels or rotational matrices commonly used in recent PTQ-based works, offering a promising path toward efficient LLM deployment in resource-limited situations.

原文摘要

Large Language Models (LLMs) have shown remarkable capabilities in automating code generation. Recent approaches that incorporate feedback refinement mechanisms into the generation process have further enhanced software generation quality. However, these methods can be characterized as single-path approaches, which suffer from insufficient exploration of the vast solution space, often causing even the most powerful models to get stuck in local optima and struggle to generate the desired software. Some other works use Monte Carlo Tree Search (MCTS) to explore multiple paths for finding the best solution; yet, MCTS can be extremely inefficient in practice. To this end, we propose SeDev, a novel LLM-driven code generation framework that efficiently finds high-quality solutions in only a few iterations. The core idea of SeDev is to gradually explore semantically adjacent solutions through structured prompt guidance and feedback on previous trials, while using unit tests to evaluate the quality of exploration. To distill the exploration experience, SeDev incorporates a feedback synthesis module that translates unit test results within exploration into comprehensive suggestions. We construct a challenging feature oriented software benchmark FSD-bench++, along with two open datasets to evaluate. Experimental results show that SeDev outperforms baselines while maintaining reasonable time and computational costs. Code is available here.

EVM-QuestBench: An Execution-Grounded Benchmark for Natural-Language Transaction Code Generation

Pei Yang gradient, Wanyi Chen Soochow University, Ke Wang Gradient Network, Lynn Ai, Eric Yang, Tianyu Shi matrixgenlab

原文摘要

Large language models are increasingly applied to various development scenarios. However, in on-chain transaction scenarios, even a minor error can cause irreversible loss for users. Existing evaluations often overlook execution accuracy and safety. We introduce EVM-QuestBench, an execution-grounded benchmark for natural-language transaction-script generation on EVM-compatible chains. The benchmark employs dynamic evaluation: instructions are sampled from template pools, numeric parameters are drawn from predefined intervals, and validators verify outcomes against these instantiated values. EVM-QuestBench contains 107 tasks (62 atomic, 45 composite). Its modular architecture enables rapid task development. The runner executes scripts on a forked EVM chain with snapshot isolation; composite tasks apply step-efficiency decay. We evaluate 20 models with 5 independent rounds each and find large performance gaps, with split scores revealing persistent asymmetry between single-action precision and multi-step workflow completion.

TIGER: Text-Informed Generalized Enzyme-Reaction Retrieval

Yuhang Zhang, Keyan Ding Zhejiang University, Peilin Chen City University of Hong Kong, Han Liu City University of Hong Kong, Can Lin, Ruixi Chen, Shiqi Wang City University of Hong Kong, Qi Song University of Science and Technology of China

原文摘要

Enzyme–reaction retrieval is a fundamental problem in computational biology, underpinning enzyme characterization, reaction mechanism elucidation, and the rational design of metabolic pathways and biocatalysts. As a bidirectional task, it entails both enzyme-to-reaction and reaction-to-enzyme mapping. However, existing approaches suffer from poor generalization across tasks and distributions, with performance highly sensitive to dataset splits and substantial asymmetry between retrieval directions. To address these challenges, we present TIGER, a Text-Informed Generalized Enzyme-Reaction Retrieval framework that leverages protein-to-text generation models to distill textual semantic knowledge from enzyme sequences, providing a generalized representation that bridges enzymes and biochemical reactions. To ensure the quality and reliability of textual semantics, we design a Dynamic Gating Network that adaptively fuses text-derived knowledge with sequence features, enabling more consistent and informative enzyme representations, while a Structure-Shared Feature Projector aligns enzyme and reaction representations within a unified latent space. Extensive experiments demonstrate that, under bidirectional retrieval supervision, TIGER significantly outperforms state-of-the-art baselines across diverse distributions and exhibits strong robustness and transferability across tasks.

MUSEG: Reinforcing Video Temporal Understanding via Timestamp-Aware Multi-Segment Grounding

Fuwen Luo, Shengfeng Lou, Chi Chen, Ziyue Wang Tsinghua University, Tsinghua University, Chenliang Li Alibaba Group, Weizhou Shen, Jiyue Guo, Peng Li Tsinghua University 等 12 位作者

原文摘要

Video temporal understanding is crucial for multimodal large language models (MLLMs) to reason over events in videos. Despite recent advances in general video understanding, current MLLMs still struggle with fine-grained temporal reasoning. While reinforcement learning (RL) has been explored to address this issue recently, existing RL approaches remain limited in performance on time-sensitive tasks. In this work, we propose MUSEG, a novel RL-based method that enhances temporal understanding by introducing timestamp-aware multi-segment grounding. MUSEG enables MLLMs to align queries with multiple relevant video segments, promoting more comprehensive temporal reasoning. To facilitate effective learning, we design a customized RL training recipe with phased rewards that progressively guides the model toward temporally grounded reasoning. Extensive experiments on temporal grounding and time-sensitive video question answering (QA) tasks demonstrate that MUSEG significantly outperforms existing methods and generalizes well across diverse temporal understanding scenarios.

User Perceptions vs. Proxy LLM Judges: Privacy and Helpfulness in LLM Responses to Privacy-Sensitive Scenarios

Xiaoyuan Wu Carnegie Mellon University, Roshni Kaushik Fujitsu Research and Development Center Co. Ltm., Wenkai Li Fujitsu Research and Development Center Co. Ltm., Lujo Bauer Carnegie Mellon University, Koichi Onoue

原文摘要

Large language models (LLMs) are rapidly being adopted for tasks like draftingemails, summarizing meetings, and answering health questions. In thesesettings, users may need to share private information (e.g., contactdetails, health records). To evaluate LLMs’ ability to identify and redactsuch information, prior work introduced real-life, scenario-based benchmarks(e.g., ConfAIde, PrivacyLens) and found that LLMs can leak privateinformation in complex scenarios. However, these evaluations relied on proxy LLMs to judge the helpfulnessand privacy-preservation quality of LLM responses, rather than directlymeasuring users’ perceptions. To understand how users perceive the helpfulness and privacy-preservationquality of LLM responses to privacy-sensitive scenarios, we conducted auser study (n=94) using 90 PrivacyLens scenarios. We found that users hadlow agreement with each other when evaluating identical LLM responses. Incontrast, five proxy LLMs reached high agreement, yet each proxy LLM hadlow correlation with users’ evaluations. These results indicate that proxy LLMs cannot accurately estimate users’ wide range of perceptions of utility and privacy inprivacy-sensitive scenarios. We discuss the need for more user-centeredstudies to measure LLMs’ ability to help users while preserving privacy,and for improving alignment between LLMs and users in estimating perceivedprivacy and utility.

HARPO: Hierarchical Agentic Reasoning for User-Aligned Conversational Recommendation

Subham Raj Indian Institute of Technology, Patna, Aman Vaibhav Jha, Mayank Anand, Sriparna Saha

原文摘要

Conversational recommender systems (CRSs) operate under incremental preference revelation, requiring recommendation decisions under uncertainty. While recent LLM-based approaches achieve strong performance on proxy metrics such as Recall@K and BLEU, they often fail to deliver high-quality, user-aligned recommendations in practice, as they optimize intermediate objectives like retrieval accuracy or fluent generation rather than recommendation quality itself. We propose HARPO (Hierarchical Agentic Reasoning with Preference Optimization), an agentic framework that reframes conversational recommendation as a structured decision-making process optimized for multi-dimensional recommendation quality. HARPO integrates (i) hierarchical preference learning that decomposes recommendation quality into interpretable dimensions (relevance, diversity, satisfaction, and engagement) with context-dependent weighting; (ii) deliberative tree-search reasoning guided by a learned value network evaluating candidate paths on predicted quality; and (iii) domain-agnostic reasoning abstractions through Virtual Tool Operations and multi-agent refinement. We evaluate HARPO on ReDial, INSPIRED, and MUSE, demonstrating consistent improvements over strong baselines on recommendation-centric metrics while maintaining competitive response quality.

ShopSimulator: Evaluating and Exploring RL-Driven LLM Agent for Shopping Assistants

Pei Wang, Yanan Wu Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications, Xiaoshuai Song, Weixun Wang Alibaba Group, Gengru Chen Alibaba Group, Zhongwen Li, Kezhong Yan, Qi Liu 等 16 位作者

原文摘要

Large language model (LLM)-based agents are increasingly deployed in e-commerce shopping. To perform thorough, user-tailored product searches, agents should interpret personal preferences, engage in multi-turn dialogues, and ultimately retrieve and discriminate among highly similar products. However, existing research has yet to provide a unified simulation environment that consistently captures all of these aspects, and always focuses solely on evaluation benchmarks without training support. In this paper, we introduce ShopSimulator, a large-scale and challenging Chinese shopping environment. Leveraging ShopSimulator, we evaluate LLMs across diverse scenarios, finding that even the best-performing models achieve less than 40% full-success rate. Error analysis reveals that agents struggle with deep search and product selection in long trajectories, fail to balance the use of personalization cues, and to effectively engage with users. Further training exploration provides practical guidance for overcoming these weaknesses, with the combination of supervised fine-tuning (SFT) and reinforcement learning (RL) yielding significant performance improvements.

NL \Rightarrow Schedule: Evaluate Multitask Scheduling Capability of Large Language Models

Wenrui Liao, Weihong Du, Yi Li, Hongru Liang Sichuan University, Wenqiang Lei Sichuan University

原文摘要

Automated schedule generation for multitask from natural language descriptions has huge potential in modern industry. While classic methods bypass language complexities by using pre-formatted matrices, and recent LLM+solver approaches introduce new fragilities by relying on solver-specific code generation. This raises critical questions: Can large language models (LLMs) solve this NL \Rightarrow Schedule task end-to-end well(RQ1)? If the answer is “no”, where do they fall short(RQ2)? And how can their capabilities be enhanced (RQ3)? To answer these questions, we introduce NL \Rightarrow Schedule, the first benchmark for this task, equipped with a dataset of 240 description-schedule pairs constructed from real-world materials and a rigorous evaluation suite. Our evaluation of nine state-of-the-art LLMs reveals the limitations of different LLMs in procedure grounding and the strengths of advanced LLMs in global planning via local analysis. To address these shortcomings, we propose Mans, a novel multi-agent framework. Extensive experiments show that Mans achieves more robust performance comparable to six state-of-the-art LLM+solver methods. We hope NL \Rightarrow Schedule and Mans will serve as a solid foundation for automatic scheduling.

SLICEFORMER: Static Program Slicing Using Language Models With Dataflow-Aware Pretraining and Constrained Decoding

Pengfei He University of Manitoba, Shaowei Wang University of Manitoba, Tse-Hsun Chen, Muhammad Asaduzzaman University of Windsor

原文摘要

Static program slicing is a fundamental software engineering technique for isolating code relevant to specific variables. While recent learning-based approaches using language models (LMs) show promise in automating slice prediction, they suffer from inaccurate dependency modeling and unconstrained generation, where LMs fail to capture precise data flow relations and produce slices containing hallucinated tokens and statements. To address these challenges, we propose SliceFormer, a novel approach that reformulates static program slicing as a sequence-to-sequence task using small language models such as CodeT5+. introduces two key innovations that directly target the identified limitations. First, to improve dependency modeling, we design dataflow-aware pretraining objectives that leverage data flow graphs DFG to teach models data dependencies through dataflow-preserving statement permutation and dataflow-aware span corruption. Second, to eliminate hallucination, we develop a constrained decoding mechanism that enforces both lexical and syntactic constraints. We evaluate SliceFormer on Java and Python program slicing benchmarks, demonstrating consistent improvements over state-of-the-art baselines with up to 22% gain in ExactMatch.

Saber: Efficient Sampling with Adaptive Acceleration and Backtracking Enhanced Remasking for Diffusion Language Model in Code Generation

Yihong Dong, Zhaoyu Ma, Xue Jiang, Zhiyuan Fan Northwest Polytechnical University Xi'an, Jiaru Qian, Yongmin Li Peking University, Jianha Xiao, Zhi Jin Peking University 等 9 位作者

原文摘要

Diffusion language models (DLMs) are emerging as a compelling alternative to the dominant autoregressive paradigm, offering inherent advantages in parallel generation and bidirectional context modeling. However, for the tasks with strict structural constraints such as code generation, DLMs face a critical trade-off between inference speed and output quality, where accelerating generation by reducing sampling steps often leads to catastrophic performance collapse.We find that the fundamental reasons are: 1) the generation difficulty is uneven in the structured sequence decoding steps, making DLM’s static acceleration strategy suboptimal; 2) the context of tokens generated by DLM evolves continuously, causing early high-confidence predictions to turn into irreversible errors.In this paper, we introduce efficient Sampling with Adaptive acceleration and Backtracking Enhanced Remasking (i.e., Saber), a novel training-free sampling algorithm for DLMs that the first to improve both inference speed and output quality in code generation. Saber dynamically adjusts the number of tokens unmasked per step based on the model’s evolving confidence, and utilizes a backtracking mechanism to revert tokens whose confidence drops as new context emerges, with its effectiveness supported by theoretical analysis.Extensive experiments on multiple mainstream code generation benchmarks show that Saber boosts Pass@1 accuracy by an average of 1.9% over mainstream DLM sampling methods, while achieving an average 251.4% inference speedup. By leveraging the inherent advantages of DLMs, our work significantly narrows the performance gap with autoregressive models in code generation.

SCOPE: Boosting LLM Efficiency with Scoped Position Encoding

Qingguo Qi, Hongyang Chen Zhejiang Lab, China, Zhao Li Zhejiang Lab, Zhejiang Lab and Hangzhou Yugu Technology Co., Ltd.

原文摘要

Positional encodings are fundamental to Transformers, yet explicit methods like RoPE can degrade under length extrapolation and may incur extra arithmetic and memory-access overhead. In this paper, we propose Scoped Position Encoding (ScoPE), a novel framework that reimagines structured sparsity as an intrinsic position encoding mechanism. Instead of relying on explicit arithmetic signals, ScoPE assigns exponentially scaled look-back scopes to attention heads. We theoretically demonstrate that this simple topological constraint transforms multi-head attention into a hierarchical processor, yielding an order awareness horizon that grows exponentially with depth up to the sequence length. Consequently, ScoPE is parameter-free and avoids relying on fragile positional arithmetic. Empirically, it significantly enhances efficiency by masking the majority of attention computations, offering a theoretical 8x reduction in attention FLOPs at long contexts. Extensive evaluations on LLaMA-3-8B architectures reveal that ScoPE achieves superior native length extrapolation and robust retrieval fidelity compared to RoPE, all while substantially reducing training and inference latency. The code is available at https://github.com/oncemoe/ScoPE.

Debate-of-Thoughts: Resolving Knowledge Conflicts in LLMs Through Internal Deliberation

Guocong Li, Qirui Hu, Ping Wang Renmin University of China, Guofeng Zhang InSpatio and Zhejiang University, Jian Wu Zhejiang University, Hongxia Xu Zhejiang University

原文摘要

Large Language Models enhanced with Retrieval Augmented Generation show strong potential in knowledge intensive tasks. However, they often encounter knowledge conflicts, where retrieved information contradicts the model’s internal knowledge or exhibits internal inconsistencies. Existing methods treat this as a simplistic binary choice, forcing models to blindly trust external contexts or rigidly rely on memory, resulting in unreliable predictions that swing between sycophancy and stubbornness. We argue that a more principled approach is to embrace contradictions as opportunities for deeper reasoning. To this end, we introduce Debate-of-Thoughts (DoT), a framework that transforms conflict resolution into an active deliberation process. DoT guides a single model through three phases: 1) hypothesis generation, which forms competing perspectives; 2) internal debate, where the model acts as both a proponent and a critic to stress test each view; and 3) adjudication, where a judge module evaluates arguments based on evidence and logical consistency. We implement DoT via two complementary strategies: inference time prompt chaining and supervised fine tuning. Experiments across multiple conflict benchmarks show that DoT consistently outperforms state-of-the-art methods, while generating transparent debate transcripts that explain its decisions. By improving both accuracy and interpretability under knowledge conflicts, DoT establishes a more reliable paradigm for retrieval augmented generation systems.

Projecting Out the Malice: A Global Subspace Approach to LLM Detoxification

Zenghao Duan, Zhiyi Yin , Chinese Academy of Sciences, Zhichao Shi UCAS, Liang Pang Institute of Computing Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Shaoling Jing, Zihe Huang, Jiayi Wu, Yu Yan 等 11 位作者

原文摘要

Large language models (LLMs) exhibit exceptional performance but pose inherent risks of generating toxic content, restricting their safe deployment. While traditional methods (e.g., alignment) adjust output preferences, they fail to eliminate underlying toxic regions in parameters, leaving models vulnerable to adversarial attacks. Prior mechanistic studies characterize toxic regions as “toxic vectors” or “layer-wise subspaces”, yet our analysis identifies critical limitations: i) Removed toxic vectors can be reconstructed via linear combinations of non-toxic vectors, demanding targeting of entire toxic subspace; ii) Contrastive objective over limited samples inject noise into layer-wise subspaces, hindering stable extraction. These highlight the challenge of identifying robust toxic subspace and removing them. Therefore, we propose GLOSS (GLobal tOxic Subspace Suppression), a lightweight method that mitigates toxicity by identifying and eliminating this global subspace from FFN parameters. Experiments on LLMs (e.g., Qwen3) show GLOSS achieves SOTA detoxification while preserving general capabilities without requiring large-scale retraining.

From Local to Global: Revisiting Structured Pruning Paradigms for Large Language Models

原文摘要

Structured pruning is a practical approach to deploying large language models (LLMs) efficiently, as it yields compact, hardware-friendly architectures. However, the dominant local paradigm is task-agnostic: by optimizing layer-wise reconstruction rather than task objectives, it tends to preserve perplexity or generic zero-shot behavior but fails to capitalize on modest task-specific calibration signals, often yielding limited downstream gains. We revisit global structured pruning and present GISP, Global Iterative Structured Pruning, a post-training method that removes attention heads and MLP channels using first-order, loss-based important scores aggregated at the structure level with block-wise normalization. Built on this global importance metric, GISP adopts an iterative schedule, rather than one-shot pruning, stabilizes accuracy at higher sparsity, and mitigates perplexity collapse without requiring intermediate fine-tuning. Importantly, the iterative pruning forms nested subnetworks that support a ”prune-once, deploy-many” workflow. Furthermore, GISP defines structural importance directly with respect to a target loss, making it easy to adapt pruning to task-specific objectives. In this work, we use perplexity for language modeling and a margin-based objective for decision-style tasks. Extensive experiments show that across Llama2-7B/13B, Llama3-8B, and Mistral-0.3-7B, GISP consistently lowers WikiText-2 perplexity and improves downstream accuracy, with especially strong gains at 40–50% sparsity; on DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Llama-3-8B and Qwen3-8B with GSM8K, task-aligned calibration substantially boosts exact-match accuracy.

原文摘要

End-to-end (E2E) spoken dialogue systems are replacing cascaded pipelines for voice-based human-AI interaction. Existing benchmarks primarily evaluate these systems on synthetic speech and single-turn tasks, leaving multi-turn conversational ability underexplored. We introduce Audio MultiChallenge an open-source benchmark to evaluate these systems under natural multi-turn interaction patterns. Building on the text-based MultiChallenge framework, which evaluates Inference Memory, Instruction Retention, and Self Coherence, we introduce a new axis Voice Editing that tests robustness to mid-utterance speech repairs and backtracking. We augment each axis to the audio modality, such as introducing Audio-Cue challenges for Inference Memory that require recalling ambient sounds and paralinguistic signals beyond semantic content. We curate 452 conversations from 47 speakers with 1,712 instance-specific rubrics through a hybrid pipeline that exposes model failures at scale while preserving natural disfluencies found in unscripted human speech. Our evaluation reveals that even frontier models struggle on our benchmark, with our highest-performing model achieving a 54.65% pass rate. Error analysis shows that models are not sufficiently robust to human speech when tracking instructions, edits, and audio cues, highlighting the need for improved audio-native multi-turn interaction capabilities.

原文摘要

Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly adopted as conversational assistants in genomics, where they are mainly used to reason over biological knowledge, annotations, and analysis outputs through natural language interfaces. However, existing benchmarks either focus on specialized DNA models trained for sequence prediction or evaluate biological knowledge using text-only questions, leaving the behavior of general-purpose LLMs when directly exposed to raw genome sequences underexplored. We introduce GenomeQA, a benchmark designed to provide a controlled evaluation setting for general-purpose LLMs on sequence-based genome inference tasks. GenomeQA comprises 5,200 samples drawn from multiple biological databases, with sequence lengths ranging from 6 to 1,000 base pairs (bp), spanning six task families: Enhancer and Promoter Identification, Splice Site Identification, Taxonomic Classification, Histone Mark Prediction, Transcription Factor Binding Site Prediction, and TF Motif Prediction. Across six frontier LLMs, we find that models often outperform random baselines, particularly on tasks driven by local sequence cues such as GC content and short motifs, while performance degrades on tasks that require more indirect or multi-step inference over sequence patterns. GenomeQA establishes a diagnostic benchmark for studying and improving the use of general-purpose LLMs on raw genomic sequences.

VideoStir: Understanding Long Videos via Spatio-Temporally Structured and Intent-Aware RAG

Honghao Fu The University of Queensland, Miao Xu The University of Queensland and RIKEN, Yiwei Wang University of California, Merced, Dailing Zhang Institute of automation, Chinese academy of science, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Jun Liu Lancaster University, Yujun Cai The University of Queensland

原文摘要

Scaling multimodal large language models (MLLMs) to long videos is constrained by limited context windows. While retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) is a promising remedy by organizing query-relevant visual evidence into a compact context, most existing methods (i) flatten videos into independent segments, breaking their inherent spatio-temporal structure, and (ii) depend on explicit semantic matching, which can miss cues that are implicitly relevant to the query’s intent. To overcome these limitations, we propose VideoStir, a structured and intent-aware long-video RAG framework. It firstly structures a video as a spatio-temporal graph at clip level, and then performs multi-hop retrieval to aggregate evidence across distant yet contextually related events. Furthermore, it introduces an MLLM-backed intent-relevance scorer that retrieves frames based on their alignment with the query’s reasoning intent. To support this capability, we curate IR-600K, a large-scale dataset tailored for learning frame–query intent alignment. Experiments show that VideoStir is competitive with state-of-the-art baselines without relying on auxiliary information, highlighting the promise of shifting long-video RAG from flattened semantic matching to structured, intent-aware reasoning. Codes and checkpoints are available at https://github.com/RomGai/VideoStir.

原文摘要

Automated interlinear gloss prediction with neural networks is a promising approach to accelerate language documentation efforts. However, while state-of-the-art models like GlossLM (Ginn et al., 2024) achieve high scores on glossing benchmarks, user studies with linguists have found critical barriers to the usefulness of such models in real-world scenarios (Rice et al., 2025). In particular, existing models typically generate morpheme-level glosses but assign them to whole words without predicting the actual morpheme boundaries, making the predictions less interpretable and thus untrustworthy to human annotators.We conduct the first study on neural models that jointly predict interlinear glosses and the corresponding morphological segmentation from raw text. We run experiments to determine the optimal way to train models that balance segmentation and glossing accuracy, as well as the alignment between the two tasks. We extend the training corpus of GlossLM and pretrain PolyGloss, a family of seq2seq multilingual models for joint segmentation and glossing that outperforms GlossLM on glossing and beats various open-source LLMs on segmentation, glossing, and alignment. In addition, we demonstrate that PolyGloss can be quickly adapted to a new dataset via low-rank adaptation.

TexOCR: Advancing Document OCR Models for Compilable Page-to-LaTeX Reconstruction

Chengye Wang, Lin Fu, Zexi Kuang, Yilun Zhao Yale University

原文摘要

Existing document OCR largely targets plain text or Markdown, discarding the structural and executable properties that make LaTeX essential for scientific publishing. We study page-level reconstruction of scientific PDFs into compilable LaTeX and introduce TexOCR-Bench, a benchmark, and TexOCR-Train, a large-scale training corpus, for this task. TexOCR-Bench features a multi-dimensional evaluation suite that jointly assesses transcription fidelity, structural faithfulness, and end-to-end compilability. Leveraging TexOCR-Train, we train a 2B-parameter model, TexOCR, using supervised fine-tuning (SFT) and reinforcement learning (RL) with verifiable rewards derived from LaTeX unit tests that directly enforce compilability and referential integrity. Experiments across 21 frontier models on TexOCR-Bench show that existing systems frequently violate key document invariants, including consistent section structure, correct float placement, and valid label–reference links, which undermines compilation reliability and downstream usability. Our analysis further reveals that RL with verifiable rewards yields consistent improvements over SFT alone, particularly on structural and compilation metrics.

原文摘要

Large language models (LLMs) can carry out human-like dialogue, but unlike humans, they are stateless due to the superposition property. However, during multi-turn, multi-agent interactions, LLMs begin to exhibit consistent, character-like behaviors—hinting at a form of emergent lifelong learning. Despite this, existing benchmarks often fail to capture these dynamics, primarily focusing on static, open-ended evaluations. To address this gap, we introduce LifeState-BENCH, a benchmark designed to assess lifelong learning in LLMs. It features two episodic datasets—Hamlet and a synthetic script collection—rich in narrative structure and character interactions. Our fact-checking evaluation probes models’ self-awareness, episodic memory retrieval, and relationship tracking, across both parametric and non-parametric approaches. Experiments on models like Llama3.1-8B, GPT-4-turbo, and DeepSeek R1, we demonstrate that non-parametric methods significantly outperform parametric ones in managing stateful learning. However, all models exhibit challenges with catastrophic forgetting as interactions extend, highlighting the need for further advancements in lifelong learning.

Debiased Orthogonal Boundary-Driven Efficient Noise Mitigation

Hao Li Washington University, Saint Louis, Jiayang Gu, Jingkuan Song Tongji University, An Zhang, Lianli Gao University of Electronic Science and Technology of China

原文摘要

Mitigating the detrimental effects of noisy labels on the training process has become increasingly critical, as obtaining entirely clean or human-annotated samples for large-scale pre-training tasks is often impractical. Nonetheless, existing noise mitigation methods often encounter limitations in practical applications due to their task-specific design, model dependency, and significant computational overhead. In this work, we exploit the properties of high-dimensional orthogonality to identify a robust and effective boundary in cone space for separating clean and noisy samples. Building on this, we propose One-Step Anti-noise (OSA), a model-agnostic noisy label mitigation paradigm that employs an estimator model and a scoring function to assess the noise level of input pairs through just one-step inference. We empirically validate the superiority of OSA, demonstrating its enhanced training robustness, improved task transferability, streamlined deployment, and reduced computational overhead across diverse benchmarks, models, and tasks. Our code is released at https://github.com/leolee99/OSA.

原文摘要

Long Chain-of-Thought (LCoT), achieved by Reinforcement Learning with Verifiable Rewards (RLVR), has proven effective in enhancing the reasoning capabilities of Large Language Models (LLMs). However, reasoning in current LLMs is primarily generated as plain text, where performing semantic evaluation on such unstructured data creates a computational bottleneck during training. Despite RLVR-based optimization, existing methods still suffer from coarse-grained supervision, reward hacking, high training costs, and poor generalization.To address these issues, we propose the Graph Reasoning Paradigm (GRP), which realizes structured and symbolic reasoning, implemented via graph-structured representations with step-level cognitive labels. Building upon GRP, we further design Process-Aware Stratified Clipping Group Relative Policy Optimization (PASC-GRPO), which leverages structured evaluation to replace semantic evaluation, achieves process-aware verification through graph-structured outcome rewards, and mitigates reward hacking via stratified clipping advantage estimation. Experiments demonstrate significant improvements across mathematical reasoning and code generation tasks. Data, models, and code will be released later.

LLM-Powered Benchmark Factory: Reliable, Generic, and Efficient

Peiwen Yuan, Shaoxiong Feng RedNote, Yiwei Li, Xinglin Wang, Yueqi Zhang, Jiayi Shi, Chuyi Tan, Boyuan Pan 等 10 位作者

原文摘要

The rapid advancement of large language models (LLMs) has led to a surge in both model supply and application demands. To facilitate effective matching between them, generic and efficient benchmark generators that can construct high-quality benchmarks are widely needed. However, human annotators are constrained by inefficiency, and current LLM-based benchmark generators lack not only generalizability but also a comprehensive evaluation framework for validation and optimization. To fill this gap, we first establish an automated evaluation framework, structured around four dimensions and ten criteria. Under this framework, we carefully analyze the advantages and weaknesses of directly prompting LLMs as generic benchmark generators. On this basis, we introduce a series of methods to address the identified weaknesses and integrate them as BenchMaker. Experiments across multiple LLMs and tasks confirm that BenchMaker achieves comparable performance to human-annotated benchmarks on most metrics, highlighting its generalizability and validity. More importantly, it delivers highly consistent evaluation results across 21 LLMs (e.g., 0.969 Pearson correlation against MMLU-Pro on language understanding task), while incurring minimal overhead (e.g., 0.005 and 0.38 minutes per sample when using GPT-4o mini as generator).

COSMOS: Connectivity-Oriented Submodular Maximization for Optimal Subgraph Retrieval

原文摘要

Retrieving coherent evidence subgraphs is critical for Knowledge Base Question Answering (KBQA). Existing paradigms often treat facts independently, rely on biased heuristics, or employ myopic search, failing to optimize collective subgraph utility. In this paper, we propose COSMOS (Connectivity-Oriented Submodular Maximization for Optimal Subgraph Retrieval), a unified framework that formalizes evidence retrieval as a constrained submodular maximization problem. This formulation mathematically captures the trade-off between information relevance and structural complexity. To tractably solve this combinatorial challenge, COSMOS employs a decompose-and-conquer strategy, which first performs a seed-guided greedy expansion to maximize local semantic utility, followed by a topology-aware component aggregation to bridge disjoint evidence clusters via Maximum Spanning Tree aggregation. Guided by theoretical bounds, we introduce Structure-Aware Contrastive Tuning to align semantic space with KG topology. Experimental results on WebQSP, CWQ, and \text{M}^3\text{GQA} benchmarks demonstrate that COSMOS achieves state-of-the-art performance.

原文摘要

Personalizing large language models (LLMs) to individual users requires incorporating extensive interaction histories and profiles, but input token constraints make this impractical due to high inference latency and API costs. Existing approaches rely on heuristic methods such as selecting recent interactions or prompting summarization models to compress user profiles. However, these methods treat context as a monolithic whole and fail to consider how LLMs internally process and prioritize different profile components. We investigate whether LLMs’ attention patterns can effectively identify important personalization signals for intelligent context compression. Through preliminary studies on representative personalization tasks, we discover that (a) LLMs’ attention patterns naturally reveal important signals, and (b) fine-tuning enhances LLMs’ ability to distinguish between relevant and irrelevant information. Based on these insights, we propose Attn-GS, an attention-guided context compression framework that leverages attention feedback from a marking model to mark important personalization sentences, then guides a compression model to generate task-relevant, high-quality compressed user contexts. Extensive experiments demonstrate that Attn-GS significantly outperforms various baselines across different tasks, token limits, and settings, achieving performance close to using full context while reducing token usage by 50 times.

Structured Semantic Information Helps Retrieve Better Examples for In-Context Learning Applied to Few-Shot Relation Extraction

Aunabil Chakma, Mihai Surdeanu University of Arizona, Eduardo Blanco University of Arizona

原文摘要

This paper presents several strategies to automatically obtain additional examples for in-context learning, effectively transforming relation extraction from a 1-shot to a few-shot setting. Specifically, we introduce a novel strategy for example selection, in which new examples are selected based on the similarity of their underlying syntactic-semantic structure to the provided 1-shot example. We show that our strategy results in complementary word choices and sentence structures compared to LLM-generated examples. When both strategies are combined, the resulting hybrid system achieves a more holistic picture of the relations of interest than either method alone. Our framework transfers well across datasets (FS-TACRED and FS-FewRel) and LLM families(Qwen and Gemma). Overall, our hybrid system consistently outperforms alternative strategies achieving state-of-the-art performance on FS-TACRED and strong gains on a customized FewRel subset.

DUD: Decoupled Update Dynamics for Reliable Uncertainty Quantification in Large Language Models

Yixin Bu, Runze Xia, Guanyun Zou Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Yupeng Ji, Hongliang Dai Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Haodong Liu, Piji Li Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics

原文摘要

Accurate Uncertainty Quantification (UQ) is critical for reliable deployment of Large Language Models (LLMs), yet traditional probability-based metrics often fail to capture the model’s true epistemic state. While recent mechanistic approaches leverage hidden state dynamics, they typically aggregate residual stream updates, conflating the distinct roles of parametric memory (Feed-Forward Networks) and contextual processing (Attention). We argue that this aggregation obscures fine-grained mechanistic conflicts, such as memory-context misalignment, that are fundamental indicators of uncertainty. To address this, we introduce Decoupled Update Dynamics (DUD), a framework that explicitly decouples FFN and Attention contributions via noise-induced causal interventions. By quantifying the independent restoration capabilities of each module, we construct a dual-stream dynamic profile that captures the model’s internal fragility. Extensive experiments demonstrate that DUD significantly outperforms state-of-the-art baselines in both uncertainty estimation and calibration, while exhibiting superior cross-dataset generalization, validating decoupled dynamics as a robust proxy for model faithfulness.

原文摘要

Large Language Models (LLMs) have demonstrated strong cross-domain capabilities, yet their competence in specialized professional tasks remains underexamined. Existing legal benchmarks evaluate isolated tasks or exam-style questions, failing to capture the procedural interdependencies and adjudicative rigor inherent in professional practice. To bridge this gap, we construct JurisBench, a vertical, depth-oriented, domain-specific benchmark designed to evaluate LLMs across key stages of Chinese civil litigation. JurisBench introduces a Linear Depth Simulation track that mirrors the cognitive workflow of professional judges through four sequential, dependency-aware phases: Cause of Action prediction, Focus of Disputes identification, Rationale of the Judgment generation, and Result of the Judgment determination. Results reveal an “illusion of competence”: state-of-the-art models exhibit marked performance degradation in end-to-end pipelines due to cascading error propagation. We identify precise statutory grounding as a persistent bottleneck, highlighting a critical gap between fluent linguistic output and judicial reliability. JurisBench shifts evaluation from isolated legal knowledge to workflow-level task execution, providing a diagnostic framework for legal AI and a template for benchmark design in specialized domains.

LeCoDe: A Benchmark Dataset for Interactive Legal Consultation Dialogue Evaluation

Weikang Yuan, Kaisong Song, Zhuoren Jiang Zhejiang University, Junjie Cao, Yujie Zhang, Jun Lin, Kun Kuang Zhejiang University, Ji Zhang Alibaba Group 等 9 位作者

原文摘要

Legal consultation is essential for safeguarding individual rights and ensuring access to justice, yet remains costly and inaccessible to many individuals due to the shortage of professionals. While recent advances in Large Language Models (LLMs) offer a promising path toward scalable, low-cost legal assistance, current systems fall short in handling the interactive and knowledge-intensive nature of real-world consultations. To address these challenges, we introduce LeCoDe, a multi-turn benchmark dataset constructed from publicly available real-world legal consultation content and carefully processed into a de-identified, structured research resource for evaluating and advancing research on LLMs in legal consultation settings. LeCoDe contains 3,696 multi-turn consultation cases with 110,008 dialogue turns. The dataset is further enriched through expert annotation, including key facts, fact importance, and advice summaries. Furthermore, we propose a comprehensive evaluation framework that assesses LLMs’ consultation capabilities in terms of (1) clarification capability and (2) professional advice quality. This unified framework incorporates 12 metrics across two dimensions. Through extensive experiments on various general and domain-specific LLMs, our results reveal significant challenges in this task, with even state-of-the-art models like GPT-4 achieving only 35.9% recall for clarification and 59.1% overall score for advice quality, highlighting the complexity of professional consultation scenarios. Based on these findings, we further explore several strategies to enhance LLMs’ legal consultation abilities. Our benchmark contributes to advancing research in legal domain dialogue systems, particularly in simulating more real-world user-expert interactions. The resource is available at https://github.com/PiLab-ZJU/LeCoDe.
