Motivating Next-Gen Accelerators with Flexible N{:}M Activation Sparsity via Benchmarking Lightweight Post-Training Sparsification Approaches

Shirin Alanova, Kristina Kazistova, Ekaterina Galaeva, Alina Kostromina, Vladimir Smirnov, Redko Dmitry, Alexey Dontsov, Maxim Zhelnin 等 10 位作者

原文摘要

The demand for efficient large language model inference has spurred interest in sparsification, yet current hardware support remains narrowly focused on 2:4 weight sparsity. In this work, we argue that activation sparsity despite being overlooked in hardware design offers a promising path for dynamic, input-adaptive compression with significant I/O and memory benefits. We present a comprehensive post-training study of N{:}M activation pruning across four LLMs (Llama2-7B-chat, Llama3.1-8B-Instruct, Qwen2.5-7B-Instruct, Gemma3-4B-Instruct), demonstrating that activation pruning consistently outperforms weight pruning at matched sparsity levels. We evaluate lightweight, plug-and-play error mitigation and selection strategies that require minimal or no calibration data across four sparsity patterns: 2:4, 4:8, 8:16, and 16:32. Among these, 16:32 approaches the performance of unstructured 50% sparsity and is is approximately 2.7\times better than 2:4, while 8:16 offers an optimal balance of accuracy and practicality. Our results provide evidence that next-generation accelerators should consider native support for N{:}M activation sparsity and can serve as a strong baseline for the future methods.

Sommelier: Scalable Open Multi-turn Audio Pre-processing for Full-duplex Speech Language Models

Kyudan Jung, Jihwan Kim, Soyoon Kim, Jeonghoon Kim, Jaegul Choo, Cheonbok Park

原文摘要

As the paradigm of AI shifts from text-based LLMs to Speech Language Models (SLMs), there is a growing demand for full-duplex systems capable of real-time, natural human-computer interaction.However, the development of such models is constrained by the scarcity of high-quality, multi-speaker conversational data, as existing large-scale resources are predominantly single-speaker or limited in volume.Addressing the complex dynamics of natural dialogue, such as overlapping and back-channeling remains a challenge, with standard processing pipelines suffering from diarization errors and ASR hallucinations.To bridge this gap, we present a robust and scalable open-source data processing pipeline designed for full-duplex model.Our code and project page are publicly available at https://anonymous-2001-j.github.io/sommelier.github.io/.

Proximity-Based Multi-Turn Optimization: Practical Credit Assignment for LLM Agent Training

Yangyi Fang, Jiaye Lin, Xiaoliang Fu, Cong Qin, Haolin Shi, Chang Liu

原文摘要

Multi-turn LLM agents are becoming pivotal to production systems, spanning customer service automation, e-commerce assistance, and interactive task management, where accurately distinguishing high-value informative signals from stochastic noise is critical for sample-efficient training. In real-world scenarios, a failure in a trivial task may reflect random instability, whereas success in a high-difficulty task signifies a genuine capability breakthrough. Yet, existing group-based policy optimization methods rigidly rely on statistical deviation within discrete batches, frequently misallocating credit when task difficulty fluctuates. To address this issue, we propose Proximity-based Multi-turn Optimization (ProxMO), a practical and robust framework engineered specifically for the constraints of real-world deployment. ProxMO integrates global context via two lightweight mechanisms: success-rate-aware modulation dynamically adapts gradient intensity based on episode-level difficulty, while proximity-based soft aggregation derives baselines through continuous semantic weighting at the step level. Extensive evaluations on ALFWorld and WebShop benchmarks demonstrate that ProxMO yields substantial performance gains over existing baselines with negligible computational cost. Ablation studies further validate the independent and synergistic efficacy of both mechanisms. Crucially, ProxMO offers plug-and-play compatibility with standard GRPO frameworks, facilitating immediate, low-friction adoption in existing industrial training pipelines. Our implementation is available at: https://github.com/GithubX-F/ProxMO-RL.

Smarter, not Bigger: Fine-Tuned RAG-Enhanced LLMs for Automotive Hardware-in-the-Loop Testing

Chao Feng, Zihan Liu, Siddhant Gupta, Jan von der Assen

原文摘要

Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) testing is essential for automotive validation but suffers from fragmented and underutilized test artifacts. This paper presents HIL-GPT, an industry-deployed retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) system that integrates semantic retrieval with domain-adapted large language models to support test engineers in real-world HIL workflows. The system combines domain-specific embeddings to enable traceable retrieval of test cases and requirements under industrial latency and cost constraints. Through empirical evaluation, we show that compact, domain-adapted models can achieve a favorable trade-off among accuracy, latency, and cost compared to larger general-purpose models, challenging the assumption that larger models are always preferable in industrial NLP systems. An A/B user study further confirms that HIL-GPT improves perceived helpfulness, truthfulness, and satisfaction over general-purpose LLMs.

Mixture of Heterogeneous Grouped Experts for Language Modeling

Zhicheng Ma, Xiang Liu, Zhaoxiang Liu, Ning Wang, Yi Shen, Kai Wang, Shuming Shi, Shiguo Lian

原文摘要

Large Language Models (LLMs) based on Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) are pivotal in industrial applications for their ability to scale performance efficiently. However, standard MoEs enforce uniform expert sizes, creating a rigidity that fails to align computational costs with varying token-level complexity. While heterogeneous expert architectures attempt to address this by diversifying expert sizes, they often suffer from significant system-level challenges, specifically unbalanced GPU utilization and inefficient parameter utilization, which hinder practical deployment.To bridge the gap between theoretical heterogeneity and robust industrial application, we propose Mixture of Heterogeneous Grouped Experts (MoHGE) which introduces a two-level routing mechanism to enable flexible, resource-aware expert combinations. To optimize inference efficiency, we propose a Group-Wise Auxiliary Loss, which dynamically steers tokens to the most parameter-efficient expert groups based on task difficulty.To address the critical deployment challenge of GPU load balancing, we introduce an All-size Group-decoupling Allocation strategy coupled with an Intra-Group Experts Auxiliary Loss. These mechanisms collectively ensure uniform computation distribution across GPUs.Extensive evaluations demonstrate that MoHGE matches the performance of MoE architectures while reducing the total parameters by approximately 20% and maintaining balanced GPU utilization. Our work establishes a scalable paradigm for resource-efficient MoE design, offering a practical solution for optimizing inference costs in real-world scenarios.

Policy Compliance of User Requests in Natural Language for AI Systems

Pedro Cisneros-Velarde

原文摘要

Consider an organization whose users send requests in natural language to an AI system that fulfills them by carrying out specific tasks. In this paper, we consider the problem of ensuring such user requests comply with a list of diverse policies determined by the organization with the purpose of guaranteeing the safe and reliable use of the AI system. We propose, to the best of our knowledge, the first benchmark consisting of annotated user requests of diverse compliance with respect to a list of policies. Our benchmark is related to industrial applications in the technology sector. We then use our benchmark to evaluate the performance of various LLM models on policy compliance assessment under different solution methods. We analyze the differences on performance metrics across the models and solution methods, showcasing the challenging nature of our problem.

Better Literary Translation: A Multi-Aspect Data Generation and LLM Training Approach

Zhihao Lin, Ziqi Zhu, Hao Huang, Guanghui Wang, Peiyang He

原文摘要

Literary translation poses unique challenges due to the scarcity of high-quality annotated data and the need to balance expression fluency with literary effect. We present a multi-aspect iterative refinement framework that generates high-quality translation references and preference data through specialized LLM translators, each targeting a distinct quality dimension. We leverage the generated data for supervised fine-tuning and reinforcement learning. Experiments show that our generated references outperform the original ground truth for SFT by 8.65 CEA100 points. For reinforcement learning, we find that DPO leads to performance degradation in this setting, while leveraging an explicit reward model for GRPO yields an additional 1.51 point improvement. We attribute this to the stability of two-stage training and GRPO’s online exploration capability. Our resulting models, LitMT-8B and LitMT-14B, achieve 67.25 and 69.07 CEA100 respectively on the MetaphorTrans English-to-Chinese literary translation benchmark, competitive with Claude Sonnet 4.5 at 68.43, and demonstrate strong generalization to out-of-domain literary work (i.e., O. Henry).

SSR-A: Spatial- and Semantic-Aware Instructions and Curriculum Reinforcement for Advertisement Compliant Rectification

Cao Te, Mengge Xue, Zhenyu Hu, Yuan Chen, Liqun Liu, Peng Shu, Huan Yu, Jie Jiang

原文摘要

While advertising is a cornerstone of commercial growth, it is constrained by online violation detection systems that reject non-compliant content at a million-scale daily. Advertisers urgently require automated solutions to rectify these advertisements, especially visual ads, as manual fixing is unscalable. Although recent safety-driven methods can achieve compliance, they typically suffer from over-editing, destroying the original commercial intent and perceptual similarity.To address this, we present SSR-A, a framework tailored for the minimalist rectification of non-compliant image ads.Instead of fine-tuning image editing models directly, SSR-A focuses on translating violation policies into targeted editing instructions.We first introduce a Spatial- and Semantic-Aware Instruction Synthesis Pipeline, where MLLMs synthesize candidate instructions—incorporating spatial grounding and semantic guidance—and select the optimal instruction via multi-dimensional evaluation. Furthermore, we align the model using Curriculum Reinforcement Learning, employing GRPO with multi-faceted rewards to progressively navigate the trade-off between compliance and visual preservation. Extensive experiments and online A/B tests show that SSR-A significantly outperforms state-of-the-art baselines in both compliance and preservation of visual and commercial consistency.

\mathcal{R}^3: Advertisement Compliance \mathcal{R}ectification via Group-\mathcal{R}elative Experience Extractor and Curriculum \mathcal{R}einforcement

Yuan Chen, Zhenyu Hu, Mengge Xue, Cao Te, Liqun Liu, Peng Shu, Huan Yu, Jie Jiang

原文摘要

Rigorous content moderation is crucial for online advertising but leads to millions of daily rejections. This scale renders manual rectification infeasible, particularly for video advertisements.However, existing safety-driven methods often suffer from aggressive over-editing, which compromises the advertiser’s original semantic intent merely to satisfy compliance.In this work, we target the rectification of textual violations in video ads, covering both speech transcripts and on-screen text. We propose \mathcal{R}^3, a novel framework designed to harmonize compliance with original semantic intent preservation.Our approach integrates three key innovations: (1) an experience-driven data synthesis framework that bootstraps high-quality supervision via group-Relative compliance experience extractor; (2) a curriculum Reinforcement learning strategy with hierarchical rewards designed to enforce compliance while maximizing semantic consistency;and (3) a comprehensive video Rectification framework seamlessly integrating text recognition, rewriting, and re-rendering for industrial deployment. Extensive experiments on industrial datasets and online A/B testing demonstrate that \mathcal{R}^3 significantly outperforms state-of-the-art baselines, achieving an optimal trade-off between violation rectification and intent preservation.

GrocLM: Grocery Category Recommendation in E-Commerce with Large Language Models

Yuan Zhong, Chuanwei Ruan, Moein Hasani, Tejaswi Tenneti, Haixun Wang, Fenglong Ma

原文摘要

The rapid growth of online grocery shopping requires recommendation systems that capture cyclical purchasing behavior and diverse user intents. Traditional item-level methods face scalability and accuracy challenges, motivating category-level recommendation as a more structured and practical alternative. We present GrocLM, a fine-tuned language model for grocery category recommendation in a real-world production environment. GrocLM employs a two-stage LoRA-based training strategy to encode cyclical purchasing patterns directly into model parameters, enabling more effective utilization of rebuying signals compared to prompt-based conditioning. To ensure valid and controllable outputs, we further introduce a trie-based constrained decoding mechanism over a predefined category space. Experiments on both proprietary production data and a public benchmark demonstrate that GrocLM consistently outperforms strong baselines. In a live production restocking task, GrocLM achieves a 7.5% relative improvement in cart-adds per impression while maintaining efficient inference by generating all categories jointly. These results highlight the effectiveness and practicality of integrating large language models into structured recommendation systems.

Rafael Ferreira, Flavio Di Palo, Huilin Lu, Ayush Jain, Harsha Aduri

原文摘要

Deep Research (DR) systems autonomously retrieve and synthesize information from web sources, however, industrial DR applications face a critical gap: effective integration of internal tools with web search. In this work, we introduce DeepResearch Retail, an evaluation framework grounded in real-world e-commerce data for assessing Deep Research with tools (DR+Tools) in realistic commercial settings. The framework evaluates both factual faithfulness and multidimensional response quality when reasoning over heterogeneous web and internal data sources.We further present Hybrid-ReAct, a multi-agent architecture that demonstrates how collaborative reasoning and tool use can produce evidence-grounded answers. Experimental results validate our framework’s utility, showing improvements in agent’s performance when leveraging web-page information and multi-agent specialization.

GeoGround: Uncertainty-Weighted Multi-Task Learning for Geo-Alignment and Address Defect Detection

Srinivas Virinchi, Aman Gulati, Anoop Saladi

原文摘要

Address intelligence in e-commerce demands accurate geocoding and proactive defect detection under strict sub-50 ms latency constraints. These tasks are inherently coupled: precise spatial grounding provides a strong prior for defect propensity, yet prior approaches optimize them independently. While generative LLMs offer rich semantic representations, they lack spatial inductive bias and fail to meet real-time serving requirements. We introduce GeoGround, a multi-task learning framework that jointly models coordinate grounding and address defect detection. The model combines a hierarchical spatial grounding objective with Focal Loss for defect classification, using uncertainty-based task weighting to balance optimization under severe class imbalance. To strengthen supervision, we curate a large-scale noisy address dataset using LLM-assisted data construction, augmenting the training corpus with signals that are costly to obtain manually. GeoGround achieves 5.86\times gains in address defect detection precision and up to 4.86\times improvements in location prediction accuracy over strong encoder baselines, while remaining 75\times more efficient than decoder LLMs such as Qwen2-1.5B. A two-week online A/B test in a large-scale delivery pipeline confirms real-world impact, yielding a 50 bps uplift in defect detection, a 40 bps gain in location prediction, and an estimated operational savings of $3.09M annually.

Pre-Deployment Advertisement Ranking under Data Scarcity via Context-Aware Criteria Generation with VLMs

Kyungho Kim, Yeonje Choi, Gyurim Hwang, Sejin Chung, Hongseok Lee, Myeong Ho Song, Yeongho Kim, Sunwoo Kim 等 11 位作者

原文摘要

Vision-Language Models (VLMs) perform well on general multimodal tasks, yet applying them to real-world advertisement (ad) evaluation is challenging due to strong brand specificity and limited labeled data. We introduce a new practical task, brand-specific ad ranking, which aims to rank ads for a target brand prior to deployment by modeling brand-specific effectiveness. To this end, we propose ADvisor, which derives explicit brand-aware decision criteria using VLMs, augments limited brand context with ads from similar brands, and applies reflection-based scoring for ranking. Experiments on real-world advertising data from 10 brands, collected through actual ad campaigns, show that ADvisor outperforms strong baselines by up to 7.2%. Further analyses show the generated criteria capture meaningful brand specificity, and ADvisor also performs strongly in online A/B testing. Our code is available at https://github.com/K-Kyungho/ADvisor.

Agent-Ops: A Multi-Agent Orchestration Framework for End-to-End SOP Automation in E-Commerce Operations

Apoorva Singh, Sanjay Agrawal, Sayanta Adhikari, Vinayak S Puranik, Shivam Tiwari, Dheeraj Assudani

原文摘要

While Large Language Models excel at reasoning and language understanding, they struggle with multi-step operational workflows requiring precise procedural adherence, which is fundamental for industrial automation. Existing SOP-guided agents assume well-defined procedures and structured APIs, failing to address enterprise realities like incomplete SOPs, dynamic web interfaces, and unpredictable document formats. We present Agent-Ops, an end-to-end multi-agent framework automating Standard Operating Procedures in e-commerce. Agent-Ops contributes: (1) SOP Groomer, a human-AI framework transforming ambiguous documentation into automation-ready specifications, improving accuracy by 13.2%, (2) WebAgent, achieving 91.3% task completion and 86.5% execution consistency through demonstration-based learning, and (3) a Document Verification Agent performing multi-lingual validation across tax invoices, certificates, and supply chain documents with 94.2% accuracy. Deployed across seven SOP categories in three geographic regions, Agent-Ops achieves 85-97% end-to-end accuracy while reducing case resolution from 30 to 5 minutes (83% reduction). Production deployment with over 1000 Account Managers validates that LLM-based agents achieve enterprise-grade reliability when augmented with robust web automation, comprehensive document understanding, and systematic SOP refinement.

MinerU2.5: A Decoupled Vision-Language Model for Efficient High-Resolution Document Parsing

Junbo Niu, Zheng Liu, Zhuangcheng Gu, Bin Wang, Linke Ouyang, Zhiyuan Zhao, Tao Chu, Tianyao He 等 59 位作者

原文摘要

We introduce MinerU2.5, a 1.2B-parameter document parsing vision-language model that achieves state-of-the-art recognition accuracy while maintaining exceptional computational efficiency. Our approach employs a coarse-to-fine, two-stage parsing strategy that decouples global layout analysis from local content recognition. In the first stage, the model performs efficient layout analysis on downsampled images to identify structural elements, circumventing the computational overhead of processing high-resolution inputs. In the second stage, guided by the global layout, it performs targeted content recognition on native-resolution crops extracted from the original image, preserving fine-grained details in dense text, complex formulas, and tables. To support this strategy, we developed a comprehensive data engine that generates diverse, large-scale training corpora for both pretraining and fine-tuning. Ultimately, MinerU2.5 demonstrates strong document parsing ability, achieving state-of-the-art performance on multiple benchmarks, surpassing both general-purpose and domain-specific models across various recognition tasks, while maintaining significantly lower computational overhead.

Reason-Code: Reliable Code Generation via Test-Driven Monte Carlo Tree Search

Zixu Li, Zhiqi Peng

原文摘要

Large Language Models (LLMs) are widely used for code generation, but their performance degrades on tasks requiring multi-step logical reasoning. In practice, reliability is often improved through multi-sample inference, but its cost grows linearly with the sample size, making it impractical under strict latency constraints. To address this, we propose Reason-Code, an inference-time framework that formulates code generation as a search process guided by execution feedback. It integrates Monte Carlo Tree Search (MCTS) with a lightweight execution sandbox, where candidate programs are evaluated via unit tests. To control inference cost, Reason-Code adopts a conditional budgeting strategy that activates search only when greedy generation fails. Compared with large-sample Best-of-N sampling, Reason-Code is designed to improve reliability without paying the full linear cost of additional sampling under strict latency budgets. Experiments on HumanEval and MBPP show that Reason-Code matches strong sampling baselines (e.g., Best-of-10) with lower token cost and no regression. Additional matched-budget analyses show that execution-guided adaptive inference improves over independent sampling/filtering baselines, while differences between UCB-guided search and simpler iterative repair are limited at low budget.

Conversational AI is increasingly used at eBay to deliver personalized customer support. We present a production RAG-based How-To Assistant that answers support and how-to queries by grounding responses in a proprietary knowledge base. We study three factors that drive quality: (1) document chunking and contextualization for indexing, (2) query refinement methods, and (3) automatic LLM-based evaluation for rapid iteration and reliable measurement. We also describe the end-to-end system workflow - from offline indexing to real-time serving and report deployment metrics, offering practical guidance for building scalable, high-precision RAG assistants in commercial support settings.

UNIVID: Unified Vision-Language Model for Video Moderation

Kejuan Yang, Yizhuo Zhang, Mingyuan Du, Yue Zhang, Dixin Zheng, Kaili Zhao, Yang Xiao, Hanzhong Liang 等 9 位作者

原文摘要

Global-scale video moderation faces a dual challenge: the need for fine-grained multimodal reasoning and the demand for interpretable outputs to support downstream enforcement. Traditional moderation systems often rely on fragmented black-box classifiers that are difficult to maintain and lack transparency.In this paper, we present UNIVID, a Unified Vision-Language model for Video Moderation. Unlike standard classification models, UNIVID generates policy-aware captions that serve as an interpretable intermediate representation, enabling human-verifiable decisions and multi-task reusability. While existing open-source and commercial VLMs often suffer from safety-guardrail refusals and lack fine-grained policy alignment, we develop a specialized training data recipe that combines expert human-refined labels with synthetic data to align the model with our safety guidelines.By integrating UNIVID as the core captioner, we design a novel end-to-end video moderation system that reduces violation leakage by 42.7% and overkill rate by 37.0% relatively. Meanwhile, by replacing over 1,000 policy-specific models with a single UNIVID backbone, we recycle extensive computational resources while significantly reducing engineering maintenance overhead. To our knowledge, this is one of the first reports of a high-efficiency captioning VLM successfully supporting industrial-scale moderation and cross-functional business.

Learning from Textual Radiology Reports: A Benchmark Dataset for Coronary CT Angiography

Sudharshan Balaji, Zhiyu Liu, Zhengyuan Jiang, Shuo Lei, Yimin Chen, Yang Xiao, Shone O. Almeida, Mathew Joseph Karivelil 等 10 位作者

原文摘要

While coronary imaging is widely used for anatomical assessment, CCTA reports play a distinct last-mile role in clinical care. Ratherthan serving as an intermediate signal, CCTA provides an assessment of coronary disease severity (known as the CAD-RADS score) toguide patient management. However, real-world clinical text exhibits substantial heterogeneity in terminology and structure, leadingto inconsistent interpretation by automated systems, even for clinically similar cases. Recent work leverages a direct application ofLLMs for automated CAD-RADS scoring, but is limited by small, non-public, and homogeneous clinical data. We introduce CCTA-RADS, the largest publicly available dataset of 940 real-world CCTA reports from a major cardiovascular center, each annotated with CAD-RADS scores. Our analysis reveals that direct approaches, including state-of-the-art LLMs (GPT-4o, GPT-o3) and fine-tuned BERT models underperform on diverse real-world clinical data. To address these limitations, we propose a two-stage pipeline that decouples structuring from classification: an LLM-based parser normalizes heterogeneous reports into structured format, followed by fine-tuned BERT classification. This approach substantially improves the F1-score by 6%-13% compared with direct methods. We deploy our system as an interactive web interface that allows clinicians to upload CCTA reports for automated CAD-RADS assessment with SHAP and LIME explainability visualizations.

Teaching LLM to be Persuasive: Reward-Enhanced Policy Optimization for Alignment from Heterogeneous Rewards

Xia Zeng, Yihan Chen, Luhui Liu, Chao Luo, Ye Chen, Zhuangzhuoran

原文摘要

We deploy large language models (LLMs) as business development (BD) agents for persuasive price negotiation in online travel agencies (OTAs). The agent must follow a multi-stage Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) and strict guardrails (no over-promising and no hallucinations), while remaining human-like and effective over long, multi-turn dialogues.We propose Reward-Enhanced Policy Optimization (REPO), a reinforcement learning post-training method that combines heterogeneous rewards: a preference-trained reward model (RM), an LLM-as-a-judge (RJ) for nuanced behaviors (e.g., emotional value and SOP compliance), and rule-based reward functions (RF) (mainly regex-based) for deterministic checks on numerics, formatting, and guardrails. In expert consensus evaluation (three human experts; 30 online conversations and 45 curated bad cases), REPO improves average dialogue rating to 4.63 (+0.33 over GRPO) and raises the share of conversations with at least one excellent response to 66.67% (+23.34 pp over GRPO), while achieving a 93.33% bad-case fix rate with 75.56% clean fixes.In a production A/B test on 9,653 real customer conversations (vs. an intent-driven dialogue system), REPO improves response rate by +12.14 pp and task success rate by +5.94 pp (p<0.001).

NEST: Nested Evidence Survival for Retrieval

Akshay Verma, Siddharth Pillai, Prateek Sircar, Deepak Gupta

原文摘要

Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems degrade sharply under extreme noise, where relevant evidence is sparse and easily pruned by static retrieval decisions. Existing approaches fixed top-k retrieval, hierarchical chunking, cross-encoder reranking, or policy-based iterative control- either rely on rigid heuristics or incur substantial computational overhead, and often fail to recover context-dependent evidence without introducing redundancy or latency. We introduce NEST (Nested Evidence Survival for Retrieval), a lightweight, training-free RAG framework that improves factual grounding by explicitly separating recall amplification from precision selection. NEST first maximizes recall through Nested Evidence Survival, evaluating candidates under nested retrieval contexts to rescue evidence that would otherwise be pruned by static chunking. It then applies a survival-consistent Mean Reciprocal Rank (MRR) selection mechanism to retain evidence that remains salient across retrieval scopes, removing redundancy without harming recall. Evaluated on WebQuestions, HotpotQA (distractor setting), and a proprietary InternalQA benchmark with 50M Common Crawl distractors, NEST consistently outperforms strong adaptive RAG baselines, including DeepRAG, improving EM by up to +2.4 pp and F1 by +2.1 pp, while increasing retrieval recall by +6.8 pp. These gains are achieved with only 12–18 ms additional latency. Ablation studies confirm that Nested Evidence Survival drives recall improvements, while MRR-based selection converts these gains into precision, demonstrating that recall-first retrieval with principled pruning can outperform iterative control and model scaling in retrieval-augmented generation.

Search-P1: Path-Centric Reward Shaping for Stable and Efficient Agentic RAG Training

Tianle Xia, Ming Xu, Lingxiang Hu, Yiding Sun, Wenwei Li, Linfang Shang, Liqun Liu, Peng Shu 等 10 位作者

原文摘要

Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) enhances large language models (LLMs) by incorporating external knowledge, yet traditional single-round retrieval struggles with complex multi-step reasoning.Agentic RAG addresses this by enabling LLMs to dynamically decide when and what to retrieve, but current RL-based training methods suffer from sparse outcome rewards that discard intermediate signals and low sample efficiency where failed samples contribute nothing.We propose Search-P1, a framework that introduces path-centric reward shaping for agentic RAG training, comprising two key components: (1) Path-Centric Reward, which evaluates the structural quality of reasoning trajectories through order-agnostic step coverage and soft scoring that extracts learning signals even from failed samples, and (2) Dual-Track Path Scoring with offline-generated reference planners that assesses paths from both self-consistency and reference-alignment perspectives.Experiments on multiple QA benchmarks demonstrate that Search-P1 achieves significant improvements over Search-R1 and other strong baselines, with an average accuracy gain of 7.7 points.

AgenticQwen: Training Small Agentic Language Models with Dual Data Flywheels for Industrial-Scale Tool Use

Yuanjie Lyu, Chengyu Wang, Haonan Zheng, Yuanhao Yue, Junbing Yan, Ming Wang, Jun Huang

原文摘要

Modern industrial applications increasingly demand language models that act as agents, capable of multi-step reasoning and tool use in real-world settings. These tasks are typically performed under strict cost and latency constraints, making small agentic models highly desirable. In this paper, we introduce the AgenticQwen family of models, trained via multi-round reinforcement learning (RL) on synthetic data and a limited amount of open-source data. Our training framework combines reasoning RL and agentic RL with dual data flywheels that automatically generate increasingly challenging tasks. The reasoning flywheel increases task difficulty by learning from errors, while the agentic flywheel expands linear workflows into multi-branch behavior trees that better reflect the decision complexity of real-world applications. We validate AgenticQwen on public benchmarks and in an industrial agent system. The models achieve strong performance on multiple agentic benchmarks, and in our industrial agent system, close the gap with much larger models on search and data analysis tasks.

From Short Video to Clickable Search: RLVR-Enabled Listwise Query Suggestion with Retrieval-Augmented Context

Mingkai Tian, Xuye, Long Meng, Liwei Chen, Zhiheng Qin, Yi Wang

原文摘要

Short-video platforms now present tappable search entries beneath the video player, making it effortless for users to shift from passively watching to actively searching for information. Prior work on bottom-bar query generation conditions on titles and OCR to generate a single query per forward pass, constrains decoding with a trie, and evaluates against a single reference using edit-distance–style supervision—making it difficult to cover the diverse intents a video can trigger and to credit semantically equivalent query variants. Motivated by these limitations, we propose four complementary improvements. First, we reformulate the task as one-shot list generation, producing multiple distinct queries per video, and build multi-query ground truth from exposure and CTR logs. Second, we redesign offline evaluation with \operatorname{CTR\text{-}HungF1}, a CTR-weighted set-matching metric via optimal assignment over token-level F1 score. Third, we enrich context with a video-to-video-to-query (V2V2Q) RAG pipeline to provide behavior-grounded background knowledge. Finally, we apply thinking-free RLVR with deterministic format checks and \operatorname{CTR\text{-}HungF1} rewards to train a compact LLM without reward models or CoT distillation. The resulting system yields strong offline and online improvements, and has been deployed on Kuaishou to serve hundreds of millions of users daily.

Small Agents, Big Gains: Journey-Aware and Critic-Guided Simulation for Long-Horizon Shopping Dialogues

Qing Ping, Changyou Chen, Binxuan Huang

原文摘要

Modern e-commerce assistants must go beyond simple product search to support inspiration, comparison, and tool-grounded fact-checking across non-linear shopping journeys. However, distilling these complex behaviors into efficient, deployable models is bottle-necked by a lack of post-training data: trajectories must cover diverse agentic workflows with high fidelity, yet the desired outputs are open-ended without a single ground truth. We propose a closed-loop Multi-Agent Simulation Framework to synthesize diverse, faithful, and policy-aligned shopping trajectories. The system orchestrates a journey-aware, stateful user simulator to drive exploration, a shopping agent that manages both tools and UI elements, and a critic agent that provides rubric-driven feedback to iteratively refine the data. On a domain-specific benchmark, this synthetic data enables a small model to significantly outperform same-size baselines and surpass a large-model baseline, achieving near-zero tool-calling errors with 8\times higher inference throughput.

Ankur Kalohia

原文摘要

Recovering business requirements fromCOBOL and PL/I portfolios is difficult becauselogic is scattered across interdependentprograms and data definitions, and existinganalyses seldom yield stakeholder-facingartifacts. We introduce an LLM-augmentedreverse-engineering pipeline that providesdeterministic parsing, schema-constrainedLLM generation with bidirectional traceabilityto code. It couples grammar-based parsingand control-flow and data-flow analysis with alarge language model to translate an enrichedintermediate representation into structuredspecifications. This is not raw-code promptingor generic summarization, the novelty is theLLM-centered generation over an enriched IR,with structured JSON outputs and traceabilityfor compliance-sensitive settings. The pipelineproduces business requirements documents,explicit rule catalogs, end-to-end data lineage,create–read–update–delete matrices, and field-level source-to-target mappings, each linkedto the supporting code. In a financial industrysetting, containing 3.4M+ LoC includingcomments / 3.2M excluding comments ofCOBOL, the system achieves 93% agreementwith expert-authored business rules andreduces documentation effort by approximately70%, as measured against manually producedrequirement documents and rule sets. On theinternal corpus spanning 3.4M lines acrossonline, batch, and job control workloads, theapproach yields approximately 3.2–3.3× fasteranalysis while improving artifact consistencyand traceability.

Progressive Fine-Tuning for Cost-Effective Structured Attribute Generation in E-commerce

Lakshman Kolasani, Fatemeh Taheri Dezaki

原文摘要

Large language models (LLMs) excel at structured information generation but face cost and latency challenges when deployed at scale in user-facing products. We present a parameter efficient supervised fine-tuning pipeline for adapting a small language model (SLM) to structured attribute generation in e-commerce product listing, enabling continuous model improvement with implicit user feedback without expensive manual annotation. Our approach involves completeness-deficit guided curation, which ranks samples by divergence between model predictions and catalog listing attributes, selecting the highest completeness gap examples for progressive fine-tuning. Our system is deployed on a large-scale product listing service, reducing inference costs by 98% and p90 latency by 70% using a fine-tuned SLM relative to the baseline LLM while preserving an 86.4% user acceptance rate, translating to significant monthly infrastructure savings.

Grounded Multimodal In-Context Learning for Product Weight Estimation at Scale in E-commerce

Bhavuk Singhal, Arsh Keshari, Ravindra Kumar Yadav

原文摘要

Accurately inferring implicit physical attributes of products, such as weight, is critical for large-scale e-commerce logistics but challenging due to sparse or unreliable textual metadata and high visual variability. We formulate weight estimation as a grounded multimodal reasoning problem and investigate whether large vision-language models (LVLMs) can infer discretized weight buckets through in-context learning (ICL) over product images and descriptions. We introduce a scalable inference framework that conditions predictions on automatically retrieved, category-specific exemplars and propose a distribution-calibrated retrieval strategy that aligns few-shot contexts with the empirical weight distribution of each product sub-category. This calibration substantially improves few-shot multimodal reasoning compared to random or embedding-based retrieval baselines. Across 14 high-variance categories, our approach significantly outperforms strong multimodal KNN baselines in both exact-match accuracy and near-bucket reliability. Deployed in production on a large e-commerce platform, our system processes millions of listings daily and reduces shipping-related revenue leakage by \sim22%, demonstrating that multimodal ICL can serve as a practical and cost-effective alternative to manual or hardware-based verification.

Towards Faithful Industrial RAG: A Reinforced Co-adaptation Framework for Advertising QA

Wenwei Li, Ming Xu, Tianle Xia, Lingxiang Hu, Yiding Sun, Linfang Shang, Liqun Liu, Peng Shu 等 10 位作者

原文摘要

Industrial advertising question answering (QA) is a high-stakes task in which hallucinated content, particularly fabricated URLs, can lead to financial loss, compliance violations, and legal risk. Although Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) is widely adopted, deploying it in production remains challenging because industrial knowledge is inherently relational, frequently updated, and insufficiently aligned with generation objectives. We propose a reinforced co-adaptation framework that jointly optimizes retrieval and generation through two components: (1) Graph-aware Retrieval (GraphRAG), which models entity-relation structure over a high-citation knowledge subgraph for multi-hop, domain-specific evidence selection; and (2) evidence-constrained reinforcement learning via Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO) with multi-dimensional rewards covering faithfulness, style compliance, safety, and URL validity. Experiments on an internal advertising QA dataset show consistent gains across expert-judged dimensions including accuracy, completeness, and safety, while reducing the hallucination rate by 72%. A two-week online A/B test demonstrates a 28.6% increase in like rate, a 46.2% decrease in dislike rate, and a 92.7% reduction in URL hallucination. The system has been running in production for over half a year and has served millions of QA interactions.

A Unified Framework for Modeling Heterogeneous Financial Data via Dual-Granularity Prompting

Yu Lei, Zixuan Wang, Yiqing Feng, Junru Zhang, Yahui Li, Liu Chu, Wang Tongyao, Dongyang Li

原文摘要

Recent industrial credit scoring models remain heavily reliant on manually tuned statistical learning methods. Despite their potential, deep learning architectures have struggled to consistently outperform traditional statistical models in industrial credit scoring, largely due to the complexity of heterogeneous financial data and the challenge of modeling evolving creditworthiness. To bridge this gap, we introduce FinLangNet, a novel framework that reformulates credit scoring as a multi-scale sequential learning problem. FinLangNet processes heterogeneous financial data through a dual-module architecture that combines tabular feature extraction with temporal sequence modeling, generating probability distributions of users’ future financial behaviors across multiple time horizons. A key innovation is our dual-prompt mechanism within the sequential module, which introduces learnable prompts operating at both feature-level granularity for capturing fine-grained temporal patterns and user-level granularity for aggregating holistic risk profiles. Notably, real world deployment yielded a 6.3 pp improvement in KS, along with a 9.9% reduction in bad debt rate.
