Avatar Intelligence: Amplifying Human Agency Through Persistent Personal Agents

Zheng Wu, Xinbei Ma, Yao Yao, Zhaoyuan Huang, Haowen Hu, Yijie Lu, Taolei Wang, Yifei Yang 等 11 位作者

原文摘要

Personal AI agents are increasingly capable of handling long-horizon tasks across applications, yet users often need to invest substantial effort in specifying goals, resolving ambiguity, and verifying outcomes. We argue that progress should be measured by how effectively agents amplify human agency: enabling people to pursue their goals with less routine supervision while retaining control over consequential decisions. We advocate Avatar Intelligence, a paradigm of persistent personal agents that represent users' goals, values, and constraints through sustained decision delegation across contexts and time. We describe a maturity roadmap from human-directed execution to autonomous operation within delegated domains, and introduce the Agentic Oversight Index (AOI) as a framework for evaluating delivered value against agent-side operational cost and human oversight burden. We identify three core research challenges: identity-continuous personalization that carries user preferences across tasks, user-situated evolution through Rehearsal Engineering, and safety mechanisms that combine technical control with accountability and recourse. These directions define a research agenda for reliable decision delegation to personal agents across tasks and over time.

CompliantBot: Learning Whole-Body Compliance across Task Interfaces for Humanoid Control

Haoyang Li, Keqi Zhu, Zhanxiang Cao, Yang Zhang, Yizhi Chen, Xuekang Yang, Yue Gao

原文摘要

Humanoid controllers need the ability to yield to external forces while retaining the capacity to resume their original tasks. However, tracking objectives penalize the deviations needed for yielding, while relaxing tracking goals persistently can make task recovery harder. Existing approaches often rely on task-specific interaction command interfaces or constructed compliant motion data and reference trajectories, limiting the direct reuse of their compliance-training mechanisms across different task interfaces. We introduce CompliantBot, a compliance-training framework for motion tracking and velocity-command locomotion. It preserves the original task inputs and requires no preconstructed compliant data or target trajectories. A state-dependent interaction force field couples applied loads to the robot's motion, enabling local articulation and whole-body movement to change the forces experienced. A complementary force-magnitude reward encourages lower interaction loads, while task rewards are downweighted during loading and restored after release to coordinate yielding and task resumption. The trained policies use task inputs and proprioceptive history without explicit external-force measurements. Across both task interfaces, CompliantBot yields farther under constant pulls and experiences lower spring interaction loads than matched baselines, while resuming task tracking after force removal. CompliantBot achieves the highest task completion among the compared methods under stronger pulls. Power evaluations further show that CompliantBot has the lowest mean joint mechanical power among the compared methods. Real-robot demonstrations further illustrate compliant responses through arm motion, stepping, and body reorientation.

This work proposes a novel conveyor belt mechanism enabling continuous, active repositioning of functional elements along the body of a tendon-driven continuum robot. Up to three conveyor belt mechanisms are integrated within a 9 mm diameter continuum robot. We demonstrate equivalent or reduced conveyor belt actuation forces compared to robot tendon actuation forces. As a case study, we mount permanent magnets along two conveyor belts, and demonstrate actively reconfigurable inter-robot coupling. Coupling point location and quantity can be adjusted during robot operation to actively tune the effective stiffness of the coupled multi-robot system. We show that effective stiffness follows a predictable inverse-cubic relationship with coupling location, and increases with the number of coupling points. These findings demonstrate that the conveyor belt mechanism enables active functional element repositioning for changing tasks requirements, with magnetic inter-robot coupling as one proof-of-concept.

When Requirements Interact: Scaling Long-Horizon Coding via Interdependent Specifications

Yishuo Cai, Minzheng Wang, Liang Zhao, Linghao Zhang, Lei Li, Shicheng Li, Xu Sun, Fuli Luo

原文摘要

To succeed in real-world long-horizon software development, coding agents must satisfy multi-dimensional task specifications, such as interface compatibility and error handling, and do so without breaking existing dependencies. However, current works lack specification in both quantity and diversity, often emphasizing primary goals while ignoring complex constraints. Synthesizing tasks to bridge this gap presents two challenges: naively adding specifications risks reducing tasks to trivial checklists rather than compelling joint reasoning, and verifying these subtle interactions risks overlooking hidden flaws or rejecting valid alternatives. To address these challenges, we introduce CodeSpecWeave, a framework for synthesizing tasks with rich, interdependent specifications. Grounded in real developer seeds, a synthesis agent iteratively develops both coupled task requirements and executable tests, while a review agent audits solution trajectories from multiple models to guarantee test reliability. Using this pipeline, we construct 4,670 training tasks across 2,865 repositories. Applying Reinforcement learning on these tasks significantly improves performance over the base model on DeepSWE-v1.1, largely outperforming existing baselines. Furthermore, we curate CodeSpecWeave-Bench, a rigorous benchmark comprising 100 tasks and 1,044 specifications, which clearly separates frontier models and reveals significant headroom in handling interdependent engineering constraints.

What Survives Label Downsampling? Exact Region Survival for Coarse Segmentation Targets

Zhiyuan Zhang, Yukun Ou, San Tek Choi

原文摘要

Segmentation networks that predict at an output stride are trained against label maps downsampled by strided sampling, nearest-neighbor resampling or majority pooling. These methods label each coarse grid cell on its own, so a region that wins no cell is absent from the target and receives no positive label. We present MatchDown, which builds the coarse target from a minimum-cost matching between regions and the grid cells they occupy. It keeps as many regions as any one-region-per-cell target can, certifies how many losses are unavoidable, and with priority tiers (MatchDown-P) keeps every evaluated region (a region that a metric scores) of at least one cell's area. On COCO, Cityscapes and BBBC038 at factors 2 to 16, MatchDown-P loses exactly the minimum number of regions, whereas the downsampling used by StarDist, nnU-Net and connectomics pyramids loses four to five times as many on COCO at factor 8. Keeping a region in the target and reconstructing its shape are different problems: we show that no region lost by majority pooling can be reconstructed above IoU 0.5 by upsampling any coarse target, yet on BBBC038 a star-convex head trained on MatchDown targets segments 35% of the nuclei that majority pooling loses above IoU 0.5, against 15% when trained on majority targets and 24% on StarDist's strided target. On two nucleus datasets, with thresholds cross-validated for count error, this head has instance accuracy at IoU 0.5 (Acc50) 2.6 to 4.2 points above the strided target and at most 2.8 points below cell-center sampling, and a lower count error than the strided and cell-center targets on BBBC039. On BBBC039, an affinity head, which outputs one label per cell, lowers count error relative to majority targets by 9.3 nuclei per image at 7.2 points lower Acc50. MatchDown runs once, before training, in place of the label-downsampling step.

AFast Robot Localization Method Based on Monte Carlo Sampling

He Zhaoqing, Hang Li, Xian Pu, Li Wang

原文摘要

Localization is an essential capability of intelligent robots. However, in real-world constrained environments, robots often cannot rely on external localization systems. Therefore, this paper proposes an online particle-filter localization method based on Monte Carlo sampling. The method is applied to the localization of a mobile robot in a maze environment and requires only four range sensors mounted on the front, rear, left, and right sides of the vehicle, without the need for any heading information. Simulation experiments demonstrate that even in a maze where local regions are highly similar, the vehicle can still achieve relatively accurate localization, thereby providing a fast and effective approach for robot localization in complex environments.

CLaW: Codec-Guided Adaptive Latent Watermarking for Traceable Diffusion Image Generation

Huangchao Song, Lingyun Yu, Cong Li, Peiqi Jiang, Mingqi Fang, Hongtao Xie

原文摘要

With the rapid advancement of text-to-image diffusion models, increasingly realistic AI-generated content has raised serious concerns about misuse and copyright infringement. Digital watermarking offers a promising solution by enabling user-level traceability, yet existing methods remain difficult to deploy at scale, hindered by costly model retraining or detection, poor effectiveness-fidelity trade-offs, and limited robustness to image transformations. To address these challenges, we propose CLaW (Codec-guided Latent Watermarking), a robust and efficient watermarking framework for traceable diffusion image generation with frozen diffusion backbones and inversion-free detection. Specifically, CLaW first uses a pretrained watermark codec to map each watermark message to a latent residual, enabling low-cost sampling-time injection. Then, the residual is injected within a late denoising window, where image semantics are better preserved and the watermark signal is less perturbed by subsequent denoising updates, yielding a better balance between watermark effectiveness and image fidelity. Furthermore, we introduce a decoder-guided adaptive injection mechanism that uses decoding confidence as feedback to dynamically calibrate watermark strength, reinforcing weak watermark signals and improving robustness under image transformations. Extensive experiments show that CLaW preserves high visual fidelity and achieves state-of-the-art robustness under image transformations, enabling reliable user-level traceability.

Robust Active Learning for More Efficient and Reliable Paths to Optimal Design

Hayriye Pehlivan Solak, Francesco Di Fiore, Jeroen Wackers, Riccardo Pellegrini, Andrea Serani, Matteo Diez, Laura Mainini

原文摘要

Simulation-driven design optimization requires active learning strategies that efficiently combine models with different computational costs and levels of fidelity. We introduce Multifidelity Cost-Aware Screening (MF-CAS), which enables the joint selection of sampling location and fidelity using a surrogate that provides decomposed uncertainty intervals rather than a complete predictive probability distribution. MF-CAS exploits the contribution of each fidelity to the high-fidelity uncertainty together with its computational cost to determine whether a candidate should first be evaluated at low fidelity or directly progressed towards high fidelity. The method is assessed on the constrained 14-dimensional hydrodynamic optimization of the DTMB 5415 hull under a deliberately limited computational budget. MF-CAS achieves an approximately 9.0% resistance reduction, compared with 6.7% for the best baseline optimisation method, demonstrating that incorporating fidelity-resolved uncertainty directly into the joint location-fidelity decision can substantially improve multifidelity active learning efficiency.

Sandwich Reasoning: An Answer-Reasoning-Answer Approach for Low-Latency Query Correction

Chen Zhang, Kepu Zhang, Jiatong Zhang, Xiao Zhang, Jun Xu

原文摘要

Query correction is a critical entry point in modern search pipelines, demanding high accuracy strictly within real-time latency constraints. Chain-of-Thought (CoT) reasoning improves accuracy but incurs prohibitive latency for real-time query correction. A potential solution is to output an answer before reasoning to reduce latency; however, under autoregressive decoding, the early answer is independent of subsequent reasoning, preventing the model from leveraging its reasoning capability to improve accuracy. To address this issue, we propose Sandwich Reasoning (SandwichR), a novel approach that explicitly aligns a fast initial answer with post-hoc reasoning, enabling low-latency query correction without sacrificing reasoning-aware accuracy. SandwichR follows an Answer-Reasoning-Answer paradigm, producing an initial correction, an explicit reasoning process, and a final refined correction. To align the initial answer with post-reasoning insights, we design a consistency-aware reinforcement learning (RL) strategy: a dedicated consistency reward enforces alignment between the initial and final corrections, while margin-based rejection sampling prioritizes borderline samples where reasoning drives the most impactful corrective gains. Additionally, we construct a high-quality query correction dataset, addressing the lack of specialized benchmarks for complex query correction. Experimental results demonstrate that SandwichR achieves SOTA accuracy comparable to standard CoT while delivering a 40-70% latency reduction, resolving the latency-accuracy trade-off in online search.

MEV: A Multi-Event Video Dataset for Long-Take Generation

Peiyuan Zhu, Shaoan Xie, Yifan Shen, Wen Tian, Zijian Li, Guangyi Chen, Kun Zhang

原文摘要

Current datasets for text-to-video generation are largely limited to short clips depicting a single event or coarse-grained captions. As a result, they provide limited supervision for modeling long-take temporal dependencies, often leading to temporally inconsistent generations when describing multiple events. In this paper, we introduce MEV, a multi-event video dataset designed for long-take video generation. MEV provides high-quality real-world videos where subjects can perform a sequence of distinct, non-overlapping events, featuring precise temporal boundaries and fine-grained procedural annotations. This event-centric discretization reduces confounding factors and enables models to support temporally localized conditioning and build long-take videos from atomic event units. Furthermore, we introduce a comprehensive annotation pipeline that segments videos into temporally grounded events, and generates structured captions at both the global level and the event level. In addition, under an event-centric evaluation protocol, we conduct multi-event generation experiments by fine-tuning on MEV with temporally grounded event conditioning, leading to improved long-take event transitions and more coherent content. We believe this work provides a publicly available resource for multi-event fine-tuning and event-centric evaluation, together with practical insights into learning from temporally structured video-text data.

Grounding Long Financial Text with Semantically-Enriched Tables via Multimodal Learning

Xiaoyu Hu

原文摘要

We propose a multimodal transformer framework for efficiently modeling long1 financial documents that combine structured tabular data with noisy, unstructured2 textual disclosures. The framework represents financial tables as semantically3 enriched token sequences and integrates them with long-form text through a cross-4 attention mechanism that explicitly captures cross-modal dependencies. In par-5 ticular, we augment each numerical variable with a semantic embedding derived6 from its textual definition, enabling the model to encode both numerical magnitude7 and economic meaning. This design yields a more expressive and parameter-8 efficient representation of tabular data compared to value-only embeddings. Using9 a large-scale dataset of financial statements and MD&A disclosures, we show that10 structured numerical features remain the dominant source of predictive signal;11 however, textual information provides consistent incremental gains when incor-12 porated via cross-attention rather than simple concatenation. Our results further13 demonstrate that noisy textual disclosures are most useful when conditioned on a14 stable, semantically structured tabular representation. In particular, using frozen15 variable-level tabular representations as cross-attention queries enables the model16 to weight MD&A chunks differently for each financial variable and observation.17 These findings suggest that cross-attention provides an efficient mechanism for18 table-conditioned aggregation of long-form narrative evidence.

Learning Quality-Controllable Robot Policies with Iterative Hindsight Relabeling

Sinjae Kang, Dong Kyu Shin, Jaehong Kim, Kamin Lee, Hyoeun Kim, Kaixin Wang, Li Zhao, Seonghyeon Ye 等 9 位作者

原文摘要

Robot policy evaluation often relies on a binary success signal for task completion. In real-world deployment, however, desired execution behaviors are also defined by quality attributes such as execution speed and motion smoothness, which need to be dynamically controlled according to task requirements. To address this, we introduce Quality-Controllable Policy (QCP), a robot policy that enables inference-time control over both individual quality attributes and their combinations. To extend the controllable quality range beyond initial demonstrations, we further propose an iterative hindsight relabeling loop: QCP collects online rollouts under target quality labels, adds successful trajectories to the dataset, relabels the accumulated trajectories in hindsight according to their measured quality, and fine-tunes the policy. Experiments on Robomimic and RoboEval demonstrate that QCP consistently improves both task execution quality and success rates across iterations, producing successful rollouts that exceed the quality of the initial demonstrations. Finally, we validate QCP on real-world manipulation tasks, where controlling speed increases throughput in conveyor operations and controlling transport stability improves success when carrying wine glasses, demonstrating that quality-controllable policies yield practical gains in physical deployment.

CLEAR: Coupling Local Evidence with Affective Representations for Multimodal Emotion Recognition in Conversation

Linan Zhu, Zihao Zhai, Mengfei Xu, Xiao Han, Yuqian Fu, Xiangfan Chen, Zihang Zhang

原文摘要

In video calls and livestreamed discussions, recognizing speakers' emotions helps identify emotionally salient segments and supports fine-grained video content analysis. Multimodal Emotion Recognition in Conversation (ERC) provides an approach to recognizing emotions in such content by integrating textual, visual, and acoustic information with conversational context. Current mainstream emotion recognition methods largely leverage the contextual understanding capabilities of multimodal large language models (MLLMs) to predict emotions by generating labels. However, emotion understanding and label prediction may be inconsistent, leaving the internal affective information underutilized. Moreover, when the current utterance is jointly modeled with extensive dialogue history and multimodal information, its local discriminative cues may be diluted and become less salient in the resulting contextual representation. To address these limitations, we propose CLEAR, an ERC framework that couples multimodal contextual representations with local discriminative cues. To mitigate the mismatch between emotion understanding and label prediction, we use the continuous internal representation of an emotion-supervised vision-language model (VLM) instead of its generated emotion labels, and further train a classifier based on this representation. To strengthen local discriminative cues, we use sample-adaptive residual coupling to dynamically integrate textual and acoustic evidence from the target utterance into the contextual representation. Experiments on IEMOCAP and MELD demonstrate that CLEAR achieves competitive performance, supporting the effectiveness of the proposed approach. The code is available at https://anonymous.4open.science/r/vlm-210F/.

Tessera: Structure-Completed Evidence Units for Web Retrieval-Augmented Generation

Peichun Hua, He Sun, Zirui Zhuang, Qi Qi, Yiming Qiu, Shinan Liu, Yunming Xiao

原文摘要

Web retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) splits a page into fixed-size text chunks or, in recent visual pipelines, screenshot tiles, and the retrieved item serves at once as the unit of indexing, ranking, and reading. We trace answer evidence from source HTML to reader input over the full English Wikipedia and find that this coupling loses evidence in text and screenshot pipelines alike: evidence present in the source page often fails to reach the reader intact, particularly structured content such as tables and infoboxes, which chunking separates from the headers and context that give it meaning. Stronger extraction, context expansion, and larger reader budgets leave the loss in place. We present Tessera, a training-free evidence delivery layer that decouples what a pipeline retrieves from what its reader reads. Given the pages behind any ranked list, Tessera rebuilds their HTML into fine-grained evidence units, each completed with its page title, section path, and table headers, selects the units relevant to the query, and packs them into the reader context at an unchanged token budget. The index, the retriever, and the reader stay as they are, so Tessera applies to text, screenshot, and agentic pipelines. Across three question answering benchmarks, Tessera improves answer accuracy by 5 to 6 points on text and screenshot pipelines, consistently across readers, retrievers, and reader budgets, and outperforms strong HTML-aware and structure-aware RAG baselines under matched budgets. The gains carry over to multi-step agentic search. Our code is publicly available at https://github.com/sarendis56/Tessera.

Compote: Collapse-Resistant Multiple Hypothesis Learning For Sequential Recommendation

Louis Castres Saint Martin, Clement Calauzenes, Alain Rakotomamonjy, Patrick Gallinari

原文摘要

Next-item prediction is inherently ambiguous: a single interaction history often admits multiple plausible continuations across distinct catalogue regions. Standard sequential recommenders compress these alternatives into a single prediction, conflating user intents. We introduce COllapse-resistant Multiple hyPOThesis lEarning (COMPOTE), a multi-hypothesis transformer trained with an annealed objective that transitions from uniform supervision to a winner-takes-all assignment. This mechanism forces hypotheses to specialize into distinct catalogue regions, while inference relies on an efficient, normalizer-free max-similarity rule. Theoretically, we show that in the population case, the optimal solutions partition the conditional next-item distribution according to a max-entropy quantization principle, while pooled scores preserve the Bayes-optimal ranking. We also prove a generalization bound scaling logarithmically with the number of hypotheses. Across three Amazon Reviews 2023 benchmarks, COMPOTE outperforms strong ID-based, generative, and multi-interest baselines using item IDs alone. Matched-capacity ablations confirm that performance gains stem directly from the annealed objective, preventing the head collapse observed in conventional multi-head architectures, rather than added capacity, ensembling, or routing.

Distilling Metacognitive Behaviors through Agentic Editing

Ik-hwan Kim, Hyeongrok Han, Mingi Jung, Sangwon Yu, Jinseok Hong, Sang Hun Kim, Yoonyoung Choi, Sungroh Yoon

原文摘要

Distilling long reasoning traces from a teacher model into a smaller student also passes on the teacher's reasoning habits. Prior work and our annotation of teacher traces show that current reasoning models often start without a plan, verify superficially, abandon promising solution paths, and take unchecked shortcuts. We propose Metacognitive Behavioral Tuning (MBT), which inserts seven metacognitive behaviors into teacher traces at the points where the reasoning lacks them and then trains the student on the edited traces. Because teacher traces are long, how the edits are made matters. Rewriting a whole trace at once summarizes long traces, and choosing all insertion points at once crowds them at the start and end. Our agentic method, MBT-A, edits the trace file line by line and records each edit as a git commit, which avoids summarizing long traces and spreads the insertions. On competition math, a Qwen3.5-4B-Base student trained on MBT-A traces scores 85.4 against 83.1 for SFT on the unedited traces and also outperforms a token-matched control and five prior methods. MBT-A improves two other students as well, and the inserted behaviors clearly transfer to the students' reasoning, with rare ones several times more frequent.

NetGuise: Adversarial Traffic Generation for Early-Stage Classifier Evasion

Binghui Wu, Dinil Mon Divakaran, Mohan Gurusamy

原文摘要

Early-stage encrypted traffic classifiers make decisions from only the first few packets of a connection, enabling low-latency classification but raising robustness concerns under realistic traffic morphing. Existing adversarial traffic generation methods often assume complete flows, feature-level perturbations, or iterative runtime feedback, which do not match the constraints of early-stage execution. We present NetGuise, a target-conditioned traffic morphing framework that generates packet-level padding and non-negative delay actions while preserving packet direction, ordering, and packet count and respecting MTU, bandwidth, and latency constraints. We evaluate NetGuise for censorship evasion under two observation interfaces, i) a history-only causal interface for online packet-by-packet execution, ii) and a full-window oracle interface that provides an upper-bound characterization of early-stage morphability. On VANT, NetGuise achieves 33.2% mean targeted evasion under the causal interface versus 82.0% under the oracle interface; on UTMobileNet, the corresponding results are 5.6% and 81.8%. NetGuise outperforms the strongest causal baseline, BAP, on both datasets and, on VANT, reduces bandwidth overhead from 19.80% to 3.02% and generation latency from 37.42 ms/flow to 1.16 ms/flow. Under the oracle interface, it achieves up to 85.7% targeted evasion, retains 43.5% after four rounds of adaptive censor retraining, and maintains 48% under zero-shot cross-environment transfer. Our results show that early-stage classifiers can remain morphable despite high clean accuracy and that robustness evaluation should account for targeted morphability, observation constraints, defender adaptation, and operational network conditions.

Diversifying Long Prompt Image Generation through Structured Prompt Embedding Space Sampling

Bo-Kai Ruan, Teng-Fang Hsiao, Ling Lo, Yi-Lun Wu, Hong-Han Shuai

原文摘要

Modern text-to-image models produce impressive visual results from richly specified prompts, yet their behavior under long prompts remains insufficiently understood. In this paper, we study a practical failure mode in which accumulated semantic constraints progressively suppress output variation, causing diversity to collapse even when many visual factors remain unspecified. We show that this phenomenon appears consistently across recent generation models as prompt length increases, and provide a theoretical motivation that connects long-prompt conditioning with reduced sampling entropy in the prompt embedding space. Based on this observation, we introduce PromptMoG, a training-free approach that samples prompt embeddings from a Mixture-of-Gaussians distribution to restore generative flexibility while maintaining semantic fidelity. To support systematic evaluation, we further present LPD-Bench, a structured benchmark of long and semantically dense prompts for measuring both fidelity and diversity under compositional text conditioning. Extensive experiments on four large-scale diffusion models, including SD3.5-Large, Flux.1-Krea-Dev, CogView4, and Qwen-Image, show that PromptMoG consistently improves diversity for long-prompt image generation. The code is publicly available at https://github.com/basiclab/PromptMoG.

Hidden-State Privacy Has an Empty Middle

Alexander Okezue Bell

原文摘要

Of $1{,}536$ Gaussian release covariances we tested for single-layer hidden-state privacy, zero achieve both moderate utility and moderate privacy against an adaptive retrieval attacker. We prove a complementary Fisher-ball lower bound: every full-rank Gaussian release at $O(1)$ Fisher utility admits a direction whose Mahalanobis signal grows linearly in hidden width, ruling out uniform Gaussian safety in the class and matching the empirical empty middle. The diagonal inverse-Fisher release $Σ^\star_{\mathrm{diag}}(\mathcal{K}) = (2\mathcal{K}/d)\,\mathrm{diag}(1/F_{ii})$ is the unique minimax-optimal diagonal mechanism at first-order KL budget $\mathcal{K}$ and the only release with worst-attacker top-1 $\le 0.001$ at every point of a 32 model-layer grid, but it sits on a privacy/utility edge rather than filling the middle. A generalized-eigen mechanism reaching $13\times$ Pareto reduction under Euclidean retrieval collapses to $100\%$ top-1 under the adaptive Mahalanobis attacker, and a full-trajectory sequence inverter recovers $94\%$ of clean GPT-2 prefixes but $0\%$ under $Σ_{\mathrm{diag}}$. A split-memory transformer trained from scratch reaches $G_{\mathrm{Mah}} \in [20, 33]$ at 90M and maintains a $6$--$24\times$ advantage over same-budget GPT baselines from 30M to 1B at a fixed-token language-modeling loss penalty; pretrained models top out at 9.3. These results reframe hidden-state release from mechanism-design within the Gaussian class to architecture or release co-design.

Task Relevance-Driven Prompt Expansion for Federated Continual Learning

Jiahua Dong, Wenqi Liang, Yang Cong, Yichen Li, Hongyuan Yu, Henghui Ding, Yulun Zhang, Salman Khan 等 9 位作者

原文摘要

Federated continual learning (FCL) has attracted considerable interest by enabling local clients to continually acquire knowledge from new tasks. However, most FCL methods assume that the global server has prior knowledge of the arrival times and number of categories for new tasks, which is unrealistic in the real world. Furthermore, they neglect the importance of positive inter-task semantic relationships when learning new tasks and are significantly affected by irrelevant relationships from old tasks, thereby exacerbating catastrophic forgetting. To resolve the above challenges, we develop a novel Task Relevance-driven Prompt Expansion (TRPE) model. Specifically, to eliminate the reliance on prior knowledge of new tasks, we propose an out-of-distribution detector to identify the arrival of new tasks within local clients, along with a radius-adaptive DBSCAN to infer the quantity of categories in new tasks on the proxy server. Moreover, to explore positive inter-task relationships, we calculate the affinity between the original gradient for learning new task and its gradient orthogonal to the feature space of old tasks to evaluate semantic relevance between old and new tasks from a global perspective. Then, we use this global task relevance to determine the key-prompt pair for new tasks and identify highly related old tasks. After concatenating their prompts for training, we can leverage such positive inter-task relations to improve the continual learning of newly arriving tasks. To balance the learning of new tasks and the forgetting of old ones, a soft orthogonality constraint is applied to the local key and prompt gradients. Experiments spanning diverse datasets and backbones confirm the efficacy of our TRPE model.

Enhancing Online Recruitment with Category-Aware MoE and LLM-based Data Augmentation

Minping Chen, Bing Xu, Zulong Chen, Chuanfei Xu, Ying Zhou, Zui Tao, Zeyi Wen

原文摘要

Person-Job Fit (PJF) is a critical component for online recruitment. Existing approaches face several challenges, particularly in handling low-quality job descriptions and similar candidate-job pairs, which impair model performance. To address these challenges, this paper proposes a large language model (LLM) based method with two novel techniques: (1) LLM-based data augmentation, which polishes and rewrites low-quality job descriptions by leveraging chain-of-thought (COT) prompts, and (2) category-aware Mixture of Experts (MoE) that assists in identifying similar candidate-job pairs. This MoE module incorporates category embeddings to dynamically assign weights to the experts and learns more distinguishable patterns for similar candidate-job pairs. We perform offline evaluations and online A/B tests on our recruitment platform. Our method relatively surpasses existing methods by 2.40% in AUC and 7.46% in GAUC, and boosts click-through conversion rate (CTCVR) by 19.4% in online tests, saving millions of CNY in external headhunting expenses.

ATIR: Towards Audio-Text Interleaved Contextual Retrieval

Tong Zhao, Chenghao Zhang Renmin University of China, Yutao Zhu, Zhicheng Dou Renmin University of China

原文摘要

Audio carries richer information than text, including emotion, speaker traits, and environmental context, while also enabling lower-latency processing compared to speech-to-text pipelines. However, recent multimodal information retrieval research has predominantly focused on images, largely overlooking audio, especially in the setting of interleaved audio-text contextual retrieval. In this work, we introduce the Audio-Text Interleaved contextual Retrieval (ATIR) task, where queries can alternate between audio and text modalities. We construct an ATIR benchmark by integrating several Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR), QA, and retrieval datasets, ultimately unifying four types of contextual retrieval tasks. This benchmark substantially addresses the limitations of existing audio retrieval datasets in semantic retrieval. To study this task, we evaluate several off-the-shelf retrievers and train our ATIR model based on a Multimodal Large Language Model (MLLM). We further propose a novel token compression mechanism, which is orthogonal to existing compression methods, to mitigate the challenge of excessive audio tokens in MLLM-based ATIR models. Experimental results show that our ATIR model achieves significant improvements over strong baselines.

Collision to Cognition: Hash-Driven Graph Construction for Efficient RAG

原文摘要

Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) has long been a promising paradigm for enhancing large language models (LLMs) with external knowledge. Traditional embedding-based methods for graph construction can capture semantic similarity but struggle to establish fine-grained, interpretable logical relationships. Recently, Graph-enhanced RAG (GraphRAG) has gained increasing popularity for its capability in modeling logical relationships. However, graph construction requires extensive token consumption for triple extraction and summarization, making it costly and slow. Accordingly, we propose MeshRAG, a novel framework for mining efficient structures via hashing to enhance RAG. We adopt an inductive paradigm in which global graph structure emerges from local hash collisions rather than explicit symbolic extraction. By replacing neural embedding search with lightweight and bitwise operations, MeshRAG automates a simple and rapid graph construction process. Furthermore, the hash collision mechanism provides transparent evidence for logical connections and retrieval decisions. Experimental results show that MeshRAG outperforms existing baselines, while its graph construction requires no GPU resources or token budget and can structure over ten thousand chunks in a few minutes.

From Logical to Computational Sparsity: Structure-Aware Block-Sparse Attention for Long-Code Completion

Yanli Wang, Yanlin Wang Sun Yat-Sen University, Bowen Zhang, Yiwei Zhang, Daya Guo, Jiachi Chen, Hongyu Zhang Chongqing University, Zibin Zheng Sun Yat-sen University

原文摘要

Code Large Language Models face critical Time-To-First-Token (TTFT) latency challenges when handling long code completion due to the quadratic complexity (O(n^2)) of attention mechanisms. While existing sparse attention methods attempt to address this issue, they suffer from three key limitations: (1) general sparse patterns cause excessive accuracy degradation without considering code structure, (2) code-specific methods achieve only logical sparsity without actual computational speedup, and (3) limited adaptation to complex scenarios such as repository-level completion. We propose SabreCoder, a training-free Structure-aware block-sparse attention mechanism that bridges the gap between logical and computational sparsity. SabreCoder parses code into semantic chunks, constructs chunk-level sparse patterns through dependency analysis and similarity matching, and maps them to GPU-friendly block-sparse formats. Extensive experiments on LCC and CrossCodeEval benchmarks demonstrate that SabreCoder reduces TTFT by 45-55% while maintaining accuracy within 3% of dense attention.

原文摘要

Post-training adaptation of large language models is commonly achieved through parameter updates or input based methods such as fine-tuning, parameter-efficient adaptation, and prompting. In parallel, a growing body of work modifies internal activations at inference time to influence model behavior, an approach known as steering. Despite increasing use, steering is rarely analyzed within the same conceptual framework as established adaptation methods.In this work, we argue that steering should be regarded as a form of model adaptation. We introduce a set of functional criteria for adaptation methods and use them to compare steering approaches with classical alternatives. This analysis positions steering as a distinct adaptation paradigm based on targeted interventions in activation space, enabling local and reversible behavioral change without parameter updates. The resulting framing clarifies how steering relates to existing methods, motivating a unified taxonomy for model adaptation.

Gated Differentiable Working Memory for Long-Context Language Modeling

原文摘要

Long contexts break transformers: attention scores dilute across thousands of tokens, critical information gets lost in the middle, and the model cannot adapt to novel patterns at inference time. Recent work on test-time adaptation addresses this by maintaining a form of working memory—transient parameters updated on the current context—but existing approaches employ uniform write policies that waste computation on low-value regions and suffer from high gradient variance across semantically heterogeneous contexts. In this work, we reframe test-time adaptation as a budget-constrained memory consolidation problem, asking: given limited computational budget, which parts of the context should be consolidated into working memory? We propose GDWM (\textbf{G}ated \textbf{D}ifferentiable \textbf{W}orking \textbf{M}emory), a framework that introduces a Write Controller to gate the memory consolidation process. Our controller estimates Contextual Utility—an information-theoretic measure quantifying how much each region depends on long-range context—and allocates gradient steps accordingly, subject to a coverage constraint that ensures global representation. Theoretically, we prove that our chunk-restricted sampling strategy reduces gradient variance by eliminating inter-chunk variance via the Law of Total Variance. Experiments on ZeroSCROLLS and LongBench v2 benchmarks demonstrate that GDWM achieves comparable or superior performance with 4 ×fewer gradient steps compared to uniform baselines—excelling on sparse-information tasks (+6–13% on Qasper, +5–13% on GovReport for smaller models) while revealing principled trade-offs on dense-coverage tasks, establishing a new efficiency-performance Pareto frontier for test-time adaptation.

The Retrieval Bottleneck: Scaling Laws for Reinforcement Learning in RAG

Shu Zhou, Jinman Leng, Yufei Song, Xin Wang, Tao Fan Nanjing University of Finance and Economics, Hao Wang

原文摘要

Scaling laws have enabled predictable compute allocation for pre-training and for RL in reasoning tasks. However, research on retrieval reinforcement generation (RAG) remains insufficient and there is a lack of fundamental understanding of the interaction between retrieval quality and reinforcement learning computation. We present the first systematic study of RL scaling for RAG across three knowledge-intensive benchmarks. We introduce the Retrieval Bottleneck Hypothesis and derive sigmoidal scaling laws showing that retrieval quality, not RL compute, determines the asymptotic performance ceiling. Our analysis reveals three principles: (1) retrieval quality bounds achievable performance, with improving retrieval yielding larger gains than algorithmic innovations; (2) design choices (training objectives, rewards, off-policy methods) primarily modulate compute efficiency, with secondary effects on the ceiling that are substantially smaller than retrieval quality improvements; and (3) stable configurations enable extrapolation with 3.1% error at 4x compute. We further uncover RAG-specific dynamics: optimal document count increases with training, and RL algorithm effectiveness depends critically on retrieval quality. These insights yield RAG-ScaleRL, achieving strong performance on knowledge-intensive benchmarks while providing the predictable scaling long available for pre-training but previously absent in RAG-RL.

Enhanced Reasoning for Biomedical Document-Level Relation Extraction via a Novel Cascade Language Model Framework

Haohua Song, Wenhao Gu PromptBio, Zhijing Li, Yunwenyu, Tiantian Zhu Shenzhen University, Xiao Yang PromptBio Inc, Zexuan Zhu

原文摘要

Biomedical document-level relation extraction poses significant challenges beyond sentence-level tasks, as it necessitates the integration of evidence from entire documents and the ability for coherent cross-sentence reasoning. While pretrained language models (PLMs) demonstrate efficiency in handling local contexts, they often struggle with global dependency modeling. Conversely, large language models (LLMs) exhibit strong reasoning capabilities but tend to generate hallucinations in knowledge-intensive biomedical domains. This paper introduces CoRE, a novel cascade framework that leverages the complementary strengths of PLMs and LLMs through a detect-then-rethink paradigm. The PLM serves as an efficient detector for high-confidence relations, while challenging cases are forwarded to an LLM enhanced with semantic retrieval and iterative reasoning mechanisms. Experimental results on BioRED and CDR datasets show that CoRE achieves substantial improvements over state-of-the-art baselines, validating the effectiveness of the proposed cascade paradigm for complex biomedical relation extraction.

PEARL: Self-Evolving Assistant for Time Management with Reinforcement Learning

Bingxuan Li, Jeonghwan Kim, Cheng Qian University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Xiusi Chen University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Eitan Anzenberg Eightfold.ai, Niran Kundapur Viven, Heng Ji University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign

原文摘要

Overlapping calendar invitations force busy professionals to repeatedly decide which meetings to attend, reschedule, or decline. We refer to this preference-driven decision process as calendar conflict resolution. Automating this decision process is crucial yet challenging. Scheduling logistics can drain hours, and human delegation often fails at scale, which motivates us to ask: Can we trust large language models (LLMs) or language agents to manage time? To enable a systematic study of this question, we introduce CalConflictBench, a benchmark for long-horizon calendar conflict resolution. In CalConflictBench, conflicts are presented to agents round-by-round over a calendar year, requiring them to infer and adapt to user preferences progressively. Our experiments show that current LLM agents perform poorly with high error rates, e.g., Qwen-3-30B-Think has an average error rate of 35%. To address this gap, we propose PEARL, a reinforcement-learning framework that (i) augments the language agent with an external preference memory that stores and updates inferred strategies (e.g., attendee priorities, topic importance, time/location preferences), and (ii) optimizes the agent with round-wise rewards that directly supervise decision correctness, ranking quality, and memory usage across rounds. Experiments on CalConflictBench show that PEARL achieves an error reduction rate of 0.76 and a 55% improvement in average error rate compared to the strongest baseline.

SOS-LoRA: Static Orthogonal-Subspace Low-Rank Adaptation with Fixed Multi-Scale Scaling

Yupeng Chang, Yuan Wu Jilin University, Yi Chang Jilin University, China

原文摘要

Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA) is a widely used parameter-efficient fine-tuning (PEFT) method for large language models. Under a fixed rank budget, LoRA parameterizes each adapted weight through a single low-dimensional input-side pathway, which may couple heterogeneous behaviors through shared input directions and induce interference during optimization. We propose Static Orthogonal Subspace LoRA (SOS-LoRA), a drop-in extension that reparameterizes a rank-r_{\text{tot}} update as a sum of K static (always-on, non-routed) low-rank experts. SOS-LoRA (i) decomposes the total rank across experts, (ii) applies a fixed multi-scale scaling scheme to encourage scale-separated optimization dynamics, and (iii) promotes diverse input-side directions via cross-expert orthogonal initialization and a lightweight regularizer. SOS-LoRA remains fully mergeable, adding no inference-time parameters or latency after merging. Experiments on reasoning and knowledge-intensive benchmarks (Llama 2/3), encoder-based NLU (GLUE), and math reasoning (GSM8K/MATH) show consistent gains over matched-budget LoRA baselines and recent variants.
