High-performance GPU kernels are essential for efficient LLM deployment, yet optimizing them remains expertise-intensive. Recent LLM-based code generation makes automatic GPU operator generation promising, but operator optimization remains a hardware-aware search problem. Existing LLM-based methods face a granularity mismatch: coarse hints are reusable but hard to execute, whereas detailed memories are actionable but enlarge the search space and obscure optimization bottlenecks. The key challenge is therefore to organize optimization experience at an appropriate granularity. To address this issue, this paper proposes HTAM (Hierarchical Transition-Attended Memory), a coarse-to-fine framework for LLM-based operator optimization. HTAM builds a two-level Hierarchical Transition Graph (HTG) to organize coarse global directions, detailed local strategies, and transition experience between optimization steps. During each evolution step, HTAM selects a global direction from the current state and recent optimization history, retrieves the corresponding local strategy memory, and uses it to guide concrete CUDA code generation. Experiments on KernelBench demonstrate that HTAM improves correctness, fast-solution rate, and speedup over LLM-based baselines, while backend and Robust-KBench studies indicate transferable benefits from structured memory.

Video-guided Machine Translation (VMT) seeks to enhance translation quality by incorporating contextual information derived from paired short video clips. However, many VMT samples are text-sufficient; even when visual information is needed, only minimal cues are required. Aiming to tackle these issues, we propose a novel framework DART (Disambiguation-Aware Reasoning for Video-guided Machine Translation). Reinforcement learning is used to incorporate multimodal large language models’ multimodal reasoning into VMT. The model dynamically switches between text-only processing and multimodal integration, contingent on the necessity of visual disambiguation. Furthermore, we present TVRF (Translation-oriented Video Relevance Filtering), a systematic pipeline for constructing training data based on multimodal relevance to translation. This pipeline filters samples where video information is translation-relevant, mitigating training collapse caused by video-irrelevant data in conventional VMT. Experimental results show that our approach improves multimodal information utilization in VMT, yielding gains in both translation quality and computational efficiency.

Current evaluation paradigms for emotional support conversations tend to reward generic empathetic responses, yet they fail to assess whether the support is genuinely personalized to users’ unique psychological profiles and contextual needs. We introduce EmoHarbor, an automated evaluation framework that adopts a User-as-a-Judge paradigm by simulating the user’s inner world. EmoHarbor employs a Chain-of-Agent architecture that decomposes users’ internal processes into three specialized roles, enabling agents to interact with supporters and complete assessments in a manner similar to human users. We instantiate this benchmark using 100 real-world user profiles that cover diverse personality traits and situations, and define 10 evaluation dimensions of personalized support quality. Comprehensive evaluation of 20 advanced LLMs on EmoHarbor reveals a critical insight: while these models excel at generating empathetic responses, they consistently fail to tailor support to individual user contexts. This finding reframes the central challenge, shifting research focus from merely enhancing generic empathy to developing truly user-aware emotional support. EmoHarbor provides a reproducible and scalable framework to guide the development and evaluation of more nuanced and user-aware emotional support systems.
