LFM4Ads: Large Foundation Model for Ads Recommendation

Jie Jiang, Shangyu Zhang, Shijie Quan, Zhongren Wang, Tianqu Zhuang, Junwei Pan, Bo Fu, Yilong Sun 等 35 位作者

原文摘要

Recent work leverages large-scale pretrained foundation models (FMs) to transfer generalizable representations to downstream advertising tasks. Most existing approaches transfer user representations (URs) and item representations (IRs), while underutilizing the user-item cross representations (CRs) generated by deeper interaction layers. Although a recent work transfers target-aware embeddings (TAEs), it requires real-time upstream FM inference alongside the downstream, introducing additional engineering complexity and overhead. To address these limitations, we propose Large Foundation Model for Ads Recommendation (LFM4Ads), an efficient pretrain-then-transfer paradigm for cross-domain ad recommendation. LFM4Ads jointly exploits URs, IRs, and CRs from the upstream FM. It extracts sample-level CRs from pretrained interaction layers and aggregates them into user-level CRs using a time-aware exponential moving average, thereby decoupling upstream inference from downstream online serving. To use CRs efficiently, we propose three downstream usages at different levels of granularity: feature-level gating to fuse CRs into downstream embeddings, module-level fine-tuning to yield downstream CRs, and model-level retrieval by matching CRs with IRs. LFM4Ads has been deployed on Tencent's advertising platform since Q4 2024. It has supported 10+ launches across major scenarios, yielding a platform-wide gross merchandise value (GMV) lift of 2.45% and annual revenue gains in the hundreds of millions of dollars. Offline experiments on KuaiRand-1K further demonstrate our effectiveness. Our code is available at https://github.com/ZhuangQu/LFM4Ads.

Understanding-First AI Engineering: Purposes, Reference Architecture, and Architectural Patterns for Human Understanding

Liming Zhu, Qinghua Lu, Ming Ding

原文摘要

AI systems can produce reliable results without developing human understanding. However, human understanding remains valuable for shaping subsequent AI-supported work, forming preferences, governing collective choices and satisfying curiosity, even when human participation is unnecessary for correcting errors. We propose understanding-first AI engineering, which treats purpose-specific human understanding as a first-class design principle guiding requirements, design and operation. The purposes of understanding are organised into four complementary rationales: reflective agency, effective action, collective governance and epistemic value. A reference architecture connects production, verification, use, and learning and exploration through shared records, supporting understanding through explanation and participation. Five candidate architectural patterns guide choices about parallel learning, explanatory models, goal exploration, audience-specific views and distributed expertise. Qualitative scenario analysis of two hypothetical use cases demonstrates how the purpose classification, reference architecture and selected patterns guide investigation, participation and decision processes while retaining operational controls. The cases illustrate design consequences and limitations rather than establish empirical effectiveness. The approach makes human understanding an explicit engineering commitment whose justification need not depend on improving the original AI task.

When Routine Operations Break Architectural Pattern Relationships in LLM Agent Harnesses

Boming Xia, Qinghua Lu, Dino Sejdinovic, Liming Zhu

原文摘要

LLM agent harnesses distribute tool mediation, state management and safety guardrails across native services, independently written plugins and configuration. Routine operations can change the runtime order or retained state that architectural pattern relationships require, without any code change. We study five relationships associated with the Guardrail Enforcement Point, Autonomy Controller and Blackboard patterns across five released harnesses, analysing a main sample of fourteen independently written plugins. Using PatternOps, our assessment procedure, we trace requirements from pattern descriptions, provider documentation and deployment profiles to the providers that realise them and the records that decide them. We then compare alternative allocations under supported operations. Such operations broke relationships silently: after a plugin was reapplied or an allow rule saved, policy stopped evaluating edits while every plugin stayed active, and a prohibited edit executed. Which alternatives qualified depended on the requirement. Allocations that kept the required order, or kept or rebuilt the needed state, held on their tested paths and operation sequences, while others prevented prohibited effects but missed edits rejected elsewhere. In these harnesses, a pattern relationship is a property of the running system and its history, so architects should evaluate it against the decision paths, state lifetimes and operation sequences their deployments use.

Aerial Content-Aware Sample-Adaptive Classifier for Urban Photogrammetric Point Cloud Segmentation

Chong Liu, Yonghua Lu, Zhanglin Cheng

原文摘要

Urban photogrammetric point clouds are commonly processed as local 3D patches, limiting the context available for distinguishing geometrically similar categories. Orthographic projection of the same data yields a co-registered digital orthophoto map (DOM)/RGB-D representation that supports efficient large-context modeling but compresses vertical geometry. Existing projection--point methods mainly fuse these two representations at the feature level while retaining a classifier shared across all samples. We present the Aerial Content-Aware Sample-Adaptive Classifier (ACASAC), which complements feature fusion with decision-level adaptation. A point-aligned aerial region bridges the full aerial crop and local 3D patch. ACASAC models scene-to-local variation within the projection and the representation discrepancy between aligned 2D and 3D supports, then transfers both relations to refine the local point class representation. The refined representation, scene-level aerial context, and fixed fused-head prior jointly form a classifier for the current sample. ACASAC improves the fixed dual-representation head by 2.1 and 2.7 mIoU points on SensatUrban and UrbanBIS, respectively, and by 2.1--2.3 points across four tested encoder combinations.

Harnessing Agent Skills: Architectural Patterns and a Reference Architecture for Skill-Mediated LLM Agents

Boming Xia, Liming Zhu, Zhenchang Xing, Qinghua Lu, Dino Sejdinovic, Xiwei Xu

原文摘要

CONTEXT: Agent skills package reusable behavioural guidance and resources that large language model agents load or apply during a run. Within the agent harness, agent skill harnessing comprises connected architectural responsibilities that govern which skills enter a run, which actions they can cause, and how their use is recorded and informs revision. OBJECTIVES: We identify architectural patterns for agent skill harnessing and organise their responsibilities into a reference architecture that makes these connections explicit. METHODS: A multivocal literature review covered 36 practitioner systems and 51 academic papers; we consolidated practices into patterns and derived the reference architecture from patterns, source evidence, and architectural reasoning. We evaluated the reference architecture by mapping eight systems and applying it in Deep Agents and Hermes Agent. RESULTS: Ten patterns cover skill supply and activation, skill declarations and execution authority, verification and recording of skill use, and run evidence feeding repair and governed revision. The reference architecture organises their responsibilities into four layers (Supply Chain, Mediation, Execution Control, Evidence & Feedback) and two cross-cutting substrates, separating permission determination from enforcement and routing persistent revisions through acceptance. Mapping eight systems showed the first three layers broadly realised and 14 of 15 partial or unestablished ratings in Evidence \& Feedback. Applying the architecture in Deep Agents and Hermes Agent turned requirements into checks that exposed a shell route outside the file-tool rules and a preview--apply mismatch. CONCLUSION: The patterns and reference architecture support comparing implementations and turning requirements into responsibility allocations and checks.

Does the Judge See What the Evaluation Requires? Input Assurance for LLM Agent Evaluation

Boming Xia, Qinghua Lu, Runze Li, Dino Sejdinovic, Liming Zhu

原文摘要

An LLM judge assesses agent steps from text packets. A renderer converts recorded runs into these packets, while software checkers test records and packets against requirements. We ask what evidence shows a packet is what the evaluation requires and propose four input-assurance obligations: required content survives rendering, checkers cover their requirements, a failed check stops later use and the judge reads the bytes last checked. In one pipeline with 30 trajectories, matching hashes, passing checkers and successful staging (copying packets for the judge) coexisted with violations of all four obligations, the last two in integration tests. The renderer omitted every structured tool call, leaving 53 of 60 judged steps blank despite matching hashes. For one judge configuration, later context raised error flags by 13 more on error than on correct steps. Restoring every call reduced this contrast to 2, a reduction of 11 (0.37 per trajectory, 95% cluster-bootstrap interval 0.17 to 0.53). In packets ending at the judged step, that configuration abstained at least once on every blank step, while the other four sometimes abstained but also flagged blank error and correct steps. Both separately written checkers accepted an unmatched tool result. In integration tests, a stub replacing the judge read a failed build's packet and a copy changed after staging. Three added controls stopped 18 of 19 constructed fault cases before the stub read any packet. The remaining stale script never ran. We turn the obligations into four tests and plan to evaluate their transfer to independent pipelines.

WebMaze: Defending Against LLM-Powered Web Scanners with Functionality-Coupled Deception

Pengfei Zeng, Changhua Luo, Penghui Li

原文摘要

Large language models (LLMs) have enabled more effective vulnerability scanning of web applications. However, these capabilities also make it significantly easier for attackers to automate cyberattacks on the web. In this work, we investigate how to divert malicious LLM-based web scanning, with preservation of genuine functionality as a deployment requirement. We systematically study six LLM-based scanners and summarize how they gather information and iteratively select actions based on observations. Guided by the study, we then present WebMaze, a defense that preserves genuine application functionality while diverting LLM-based scanners to a generated decoy world. WebMaze embeds functionality-coupled traps in genuine pages and constructs view-tailored interactive decoy worlds from the application's existing views. The traps blend into genuine components and expose entry points to decoy worlds that sustain exploration through connected pages and interactions without changing genuine functionality. Across 12 web applications and three LLM-based scanners under the default no-disclosure setting, decoy pages account for an average of 93.0% of the distinct pages requested per run. This demonstrates that WebMaze effectively diverts scanners away from genuine application pages and into the generated decoy worlds. Even when explicitly informed about the decoy mechanism and instructed to avoid decoy pages, scanners continue to explore predominantly decoy pages.

OvisOCR3 Technical Report

Yu Xia, Yinglun Li, Yuhui Chen, Jinlong Huang, Yuyang Wanyan, Shengze Shi, Yifei Song, Yue Duan 等 15 位作者

原文摘要

We introduce OvisOCR3, a 0.8B model for a broad range of OCR-related tasks. OvisOCR3 unifies document parsing, general OCR, key information extraction (KIE), document figure captioning, and cross-page table reconstruction in a single model. We train the model on real and synthetic data through continued pretraining and use domain-balanced mid-training to balance supervision across tasks with different data volumes and response lengths. Multi-teacher on-policy distillation transfers expertise from five domain-specific 4B teachers into the shared model, followed by mixed-task reinforcement learning with domain-specific rewards. We compare OvisOCR3 with general-purpose vision-language models and specialized OCR models on public and in-house benchmarks covering all five task families. In these comparisons, it achieves an overall score of 96.74 on OmniDocBench v1.6 and the highest overall scores on PureDocBench, Real5-OmniDocBench, and MDPBench. On OCRBench v2, it ranks first, scoring 65.9 and 61.3 on the English and Chinese splits, respectively. It also outperforms the baselines on OCRBench and all four KIE benchmarks. On DocFigCapBench, it achieves the highest localization F1 and a caption score close to that of Qwen3.8-Max. For cross-page tables, it leads in Relation F1 on CrossTabBench and truncated-table TEDS on MPDocBench-Parse. These results demonstrate that a compact 0.8B model can achieve strong performance across diverse OCR-related tasks. OvisOCR3 is available at https://huggingface.co/ATH-MaaS/OvisOCR3.

MirrorCAPTCHA: Wild CAPTCHA, Wild Distribution, Wild Web-based Platform Meet Multimodal LLM Agents

Xiangyu Wu, Yuwei Hu Alibaba Group, Tianyu Cui Alibaba Group, Yueying Tian, Qing-Guo Chen Alibaba Group, Zhao Xu Alibaba Group, Weihua Luo Alibaba International Digital Commerce Group, Kaifu Zhang Alibaba Group 等 10 位作者

原文摘要

The path to fully autonomous web agents is currently hindered by a critical bottleneck: their limited ability to handle CAPTCHA. Existing agent benchmarks largely ignore this practical challenge, failing to evaluate an agent’s real-world capacity to solve CAPTCHA. To bridge this gap, we conduct a comprehensive analysis of real-world CAPTCHA distributions and introduce MirrorCAPTCHA, a benchmark annotated with Weighted Pass Rate and a newly proposed metric Completion Degree. MirrorCAPTCHA is designed to serve as a “mirror” that faithfully reflects the automation capabilities of agents in real scenarios. We filter 2095 websites from Common Crawl, identify the CAPTCHA deployed on these sites, and cluster them into 18 distinct categories using K-means algorithm. To ensure practicality, we extract a web subgraph from Common Crawl covering these websites and use random walks to simulate real-world CAPTCHA encounter frequencies, yielding a realistic measure of agents’ ability. Additionally, we develop a lightweight synthetic data pipeline to train Ovis2-Agent-CAPTCHA-8B, which significantly outperforms current state-of-the-art closed-source models on MirrorCAPTCHA, achieving a 9.4% higher average Weighted Pass Rate and a 2.13% higher average Completion Degree than the runner-up, Gemini-2.5-Pro.

Junchao Wu University of Macau, Yefeng Liu, Chenyu Zhu, Hao Zhang, Zeyu Wu, Tianqi Shi, Yichao Du, Longyue Wang Alibaba Group 等 11 位作者

原文摘要

The effective detection and governance of Large Language Model (LLM) generated content has become increasingly critical due to the growing risk of misuse. Despite the impressive performance of existing detectors, their reliability and potential in multilingual, real-world scenarios remain largely underexplored.In this study, we introduce DetectRL-X, a comprehensive multilingual benchmark designed to evaluate advanced detectors across 8 dimensions. The benchmark encompasses 8 languages commonly used in commercial contexts and collects human-written texts from 6 domains highly susceptible to LLM misuse. To better aligned with real-world applications, We create LLM-generated texts using 4 popular commercial LLMs, and include typical AI-assisted writing operations such as polishing, expanding, and condensing to capture authentic usage patterns. Furthermore, we develop a multilingual framework for paraphrasing and perturbation attacks to simulate diverse human modifications and writing noise, enabling stress testing of detectors across languages.Experimental results on DetectRL-X reveal the strengths and limitations of current state-of-the-art detectors when applied to diverse linguistic resources. We further analyze how domains, generators, attack strategies, text length, and refinement operations influence performance in different languages, underscoring DetectRL-X as an effective benchmark for strengthening multilingual and language-specific detectors.

原文摘要

Document understanding is critical for applications from financial analysis to scientific discovery. Current approaches, whether OCR-based pipelines feeding Large Language Models (LLMs) or native Multimodal LLMs (MLLMs), face key limitations: the former loses structural detail, while the latter struggles with context modeling. Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) helps ground models in external data, but documents’ multimodal nature, i.e., combining text, tables, charts, and layout, demands a more advanced paradigm: Multimodal RAG. This approach enables holistic retrieval and reasoning across all modalities, unlocking comprehensive document intelligence. Recognizing its importance, this paper presents a systematic survey of Multimodal RAG for document understanding. We propose a taxonomy based on domain, retrieval modality, and granularity, and review advances involving graph structures and agentic frameworks. We also summarize key datasets, benchmarks, and applications, and highlight open challenges in efficiency, fine-grained representation, and robustness, providing a roadmap for future progress in document AI.

Route to Rome Attack: Directing LLM Routers to Expensive Models via Adversarial Suffix Optimization

Haochun Tang Hong Kong University of Science and Technology(Guangzhou), Yuliang Yan The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (Guangzhou), Jiahua Lu, Huaxiao Liu Jilin University, Enyan Dai HKUST(GZ)

原文摘要

Cost-aware routing dynamically dispatches user queries to models of varying capability to balance performance and inference cost. However, the routing strategy introduces new security concern that adversaries may manipulate router to consistently select expensive high-capability models. Existing routing attacks depend either on white-box access or heuristic prompts, rendering them ineffective in real-world black-box scenarios. In this work, we propose R^2A, which aims to mislead black-box LLM routers to expensive models via adversarial suffix optimization. Specifically, R^2A deploys a hybrid ensemble surrogate router to mimic the black-box router. A suffix optimization algorithm is further adapted for the ensemble-based surrogate. Extensive experiments on multiple open-source and commercial routing systems demonstrate that R^2A significantly increases the routing rate to expensive models on queries of different distributions.

Incentivizing Parametric Knowledge via Reinforcement Learning with Verifiable Rewards for Cross-Cultural Entity Translation

Jiang Zhou, Xiaohu Zhao, Xinwei Wu, Tianyu Dong, Hao Wang, Yangyang Liu, Heng Liu, Linlong Xu 等 11 位作者

原文摘要

Cross-cultural entity translation remains challenging for large language models (LLMs) as literal or phonetic renderings are usually yielded instead of culturally appropriate translations in context. However, relevant knowledge may already be encoded in model parameters during large-scale pre-training. To incentivize the effective use of parametric knowledge, we propose EA-RLVR (Entity-Anchored Reinforcement Learning with Verifiable Rewards), a training framework that optimizes cross-cultural entity translation without relying on external knowledge bases. EA-RLVR anchors supervision on a verifiable, entity-level reward signal and incorporates lightweight structural gates to stabilize optimization. This design steers the model toward learning a robust reasoning process rather than merely imitating reference translations. We evaluate EA-RLVR on XC-Translate and observe consistent improvements in both entity translation accuracy and out-of-domain generalization. Specifically, training on merely 7k samples boosts Qwen3-14B’s entity translation accuracy from 23.66% to 31.87% on a 50k test set comprising entirely unseen entities. The learned entity translation ability also transfers to general translation, yielding +1.35 XCOMET on WMT24pp, which scales to +1.59 with extended optimization. Extensive analyses of pass@k dynamics and reward formulations attribute these gains to superior sampling efficiency and a stable optimization landscape.

From Insight to Action: A Novel Framework for Interpretability-Guided Data Selection in Large Language Models

Ling Shi, Xinwei Wu, Xiaohu Zhao, Hao Wang, Heng Liu, Yangyang Liu, Linlong Xu, Longyue Wang Alibaba Group 等 10 位作者

原文摘要

While mechanistic interpretability tools like Sparse Autoencoders (SAEs) can uncover meaningful features within Large Language Models (LLMs), a critical gap remains in transforming these insights into practical actions for model optimization. We bridge this gap with the hypothesis that data selection guided by a model’s internal task features is a effective training strategy. Inspired by this, we propose Interpretability-Guided Data Selection (IGDS), a framework that first identifies these causal task features through frequency recall and interventional filtering, then selects “Feature-Resonant Data” that maximally activates task features for fine-tuning. We validate IGDS on mathematical reasoning, summarization, and translation tasks within Gemma-2, LLaMA-3.1, and Qwen3 models. Our experiments demonstrate exceptional data efficiency: on the Math task, IGDS surpasses full-dataset fine-tuning by a remarkable 17.4% on Gemma-2-2B while using only 50% of the data, and outperforms established baselines focused on data quality and diversity. Analysis confirms a strong positive correlation between feature amplification and task performance improvement. IGDS thus provides a direct and effective framework to enhance LLMs by leveraging their internal mechanisms, validating our core hypothesis.

M^2PO: Multi-Perspective Multi-Pair Preference Optimization for Machine Translation

Hao Wang, Linlong Xu, Heng Liu, Yangyang Liu, Xiaohu Zhao, Bo Zeng, Liangying Shao, Yichen Dong 等 14 位作者

原文摘要

Aligning Large Language Models (LLMs) to human preferences is pivotal for Machine Translation (MT), yet current approaches are often hindered by misleading reward signals. Our analysis reveals that prevailing Quality Estimation (QE) models exhibit a systematic blind spot towards partial errors—specifically partial hallucinations and omissions—often favoring superficially fluent but unfaithful translations. To address this, we propose M^2PO (Multi-Perspective Multi-Pair Preference Optimization), a data-centric framework for preference optimization in machine translation. First, to correct the bias towards fluency, M^2PO uses a multi-perspective alignment mechanism that decouples semantic fidelity from fluency, prioritizing faithfulness via a curriculum strategy. Second, with the bias corrected, partial errors fall between perfect and severely incorrect translations, making them inefficient to learn via standard best-versus-worst comparisons. We thus introduce a multi-pair objective that leverages the full candidate list to capture these fine-grained error signals. Experiments on WMT23, WMT24, and FLORES-200 show that M^2PO enables a 9B model to outperform leading open-source baselines and achieve parity with proprietary models like GPT-4o and Gemini-2.0-Flash, demonstrating significant potential for efficient, high-fidelity LLM-based translation.

HSCodeComp: A Realistic and Expert-level Agent Benchmark for Hierarchical Rule Application

原文摘要

Despite recent progress, existing agent benchmarks neglect a fundamental real-world capability: hierarchical rule application, a critical requirement in fields such as law and medicine where agents must reason from broad categories down to specific exceptions to reach rule-compliant decisions.This introduces significant challenges in resolving logical dependencies and disambiguating vague boundaries.To bridge this gap, we introduce HSCodeComp, a novel benchmark derived from e-commerce, requiring agents to assign a unique 10-digit Harmonized System (HS) Code to products by aligning their fuzzy attributes with strict tariff classification rules.HSCodeComp comprises 632 realistic products across 32 categories, featuring detailed yet noisy product information (titles, attributes, and images). The HS Codes are annotated by a panel of 26 tariff experts, strictly adhering to official rules and an empirical knowledge base, both of which we jointly open-source.Through a comprehensive evaluation of 23 LLMs, VLMs, and agents on HSCodeComp, we demonstrate that: 1) a substantial performance gap remains between state-of-the-art agents and human experts (46.8% vs. 95.0%); and 2) test-time scaling fails to close this gap. Further analysis reveals that 1) excessive reasoning steps frequently induce “reasoning drift,” which degrades accuracy; and 2) agents are prone to premature decisions on high-level categories and reasoning hallucinations that lack factual grounding.
