When Everyone Can Submit: Designing Contests with Transparent Pre-Selection

Hanbing Liu, Ningyuan Li, Weian Li, Qi Qi, Changyuan Yu

原文摘要

Shortlisting is a common and effective method for pre-selecting participants in competitive settings. To ensure fairness, a cut-off score is typically announced, allowing only contestants who exceed it to enter the contest, while others are eliminated. In this paper, we study rank-order contests with shortlisting and cut-off score disclosure. We fully characterize the equilibrium behavior of shortlisted contestants for any given prize structure and shortlist size. We examine two objective functions: the highest individual performance and total performance. Under linear performance costs, for both objectives, the optimal contest is in a winner-take-all format. For the highest individual performance, the optimal shortlist size is exactly two contestants, but, in contrast, for total performance, the shortlist size does not affect the outcome, i.e., any size yields the same total performance. Furthermore, we compare the highest individual performance achieved with and without shortlisting, and show that the former is 4/3 of the latter.

Learn-To-Learn on Arbitrary Textual Conditioning: A Hypernetwork-Driven Meta-Gated LLM

Luo Ji, Qi Qin, Ningyuan Xi, Teng Chen, Qingqing Gu, Hongyan Li

原文摘要

Conventional LLMs may suffer from corpus heterogeneity and subtle condition changes. While finetuning can create the catastrophe forgetting issue, application of meta-learning on LLMs is also limited due to its complexity and scalability. In this paper, we activate the meta-signal of $β$ within the SwiGLU blocks, resulting in a meta-gating mechanism that adaptively adjusts the nonlinearity of FFN. A hypernetwork is employed which dynamically produces $β$ on textual conditions, providing meta-controllability on LLMs. By testing on different condition types such as task, domain, persona, and style, our method outperforms finetuning and meta-learning baselines, and can generalize reasonably on unseen tasks, condition types, or instructions. Our code can be found in https://github.com/AaronJi/MeGan.

Efficient Collaborative LLM Fine-Tuning over Heterogeneous Mobile Devices via Many Backbones to One Side-Network Tuning

Xingke Yang, Liang Li, Sicong Li, Liwei Guan, Hao Wang, Xiaoqi Qi, Jiang Liu, Xin Fu 等 9 位作者

原文摘要

Collaboratively fine-tuning (FT) large language models (LLMs) over heterogeneous mobile devices fosters immense potential applications of personalized intelligence. However, such a vision faces critical system challenges. Existing federated LLM fine-tuning approaches remain limited by prohibitive on-device resource overhead, straggler-prone synchronous aggregation, and the assumption of a unified pretrained backbone across heterogeneous devices. In this paper, we propose EC-MobiLLM, a novel design for efficient collaborative LLM fine-tuning across heterogeneous mobile devices and heterogeneous backbones. EC-MobiLLM adopts a server-assisted side-tuning paradigm to minimize on-device overhead and pioneers non-blocking asynchronous collaboration to accelerate training. Moreover, EC-MobiLLM introduces adaptive feature alignment to support collaboration across heterogeneous backbones, aligning with practical needs in real-world deployments. Extensive experimental results demonstrate that EC-MobiLLM can maintain robust fine-tuning performance while achieving extremely low on-device memory, with at least 95.2\% reduction in computation overhead, 93.2\% reduction in communication costs and $5.1\times$ faster convergence compared to existing methods, validating its efficacy for practical LLM adaptation over heterogeneous mobile devices.

Eco-MobiLLM: Efficient LLM Fine-Tuning on the Mobile Device via Server Assisted Side-Tuning

Xingke Yang, Liang Li, Zhiyi Wan, Sicong Li, Xiaoqi Qi, Jiang Liu, Tomoaki Ohtsuki, Xin Fu 等 9 位作者

原文摘要

There is a huge gap between numerous intriguing applications fostered by on-device large language model (LLM) fine-tuning (FT) from fresh mobile data and the limited resources of a mobile device. While existing server-assisted methods (e.g., split learning or side-tuning) may enable LLM FT on the local mobile device, they suffer from heavy communication burdens of activation transmissions. In addition, their multiple on-device forward passes over the same samples across training epochs lead to substantial iterative computation on the mobile device. To address those issues, we develop Eco-MobiLLM, an efficient LLM FT method which can be deployed on the mobile device via server-assisted side-tuning. To reduce communication cost, Eco-MobiLLM develops an activation shortcut that transmits only the tokens involved in the loss calculation instead of full activation matrices to guide the side network tuning. Besides, to improve computing efficiency and further accelerate FT convergence, Eco-MobiLLM introduces a novel two-stage training paradigm, which allows the server to reuse historical activations and saves the mobile device from repeatedly computing forward passes for the recurring data samples. Extensive experimental results demonstrate Eco-MobiLLM's superiority.

AIGB-R1: Self-Evolving Generative Auto-Bidding via Hierarchical Planner-Executor Optimization

Yuejia Dou, Hesong Wang, Xinyu Zhang, Yuchao Ma, Tianyu Wang, Zhilin Zhang, Chuan Yu, Jian Xu 等 10 位作者

原文摘要

Auto-bidding plays an essential role in online advertising, automatically adjusting bids for advertisers to optimize their commercial goals. The emerging AI-Generated Bidding (AIGB) paradigm widely adopts generative modeling to optimize bidding strategies, yet suffers from the limited mode coverage of offline datasets and inadequate task-state understanding, hindering effective exploration of optimal strategies. Large Language Models (LLMs), with prior world knowledge and reasoning capabilities, offer a promising approach to overcome these limitations. However, directly applying LLMs to auto-bidding tasks faces inherent challenges in limited numerical precision, hallucinations, and inference latency. To address these limitations, we propose AIGB-R1, a hierarchical self-evolving auto-bidding framework aiming to enhance AI-Generated Bidding via LLMs' Reasoning capabilities, comprising a high-level Planner module for macro-level strategy planning and a low-level Executor module for fine-grained decision-making. Building upon this, we design an experience-driven self-evolving loop, enabling autonomous strategy exploration and optimization from accumulated experience. We adopt a two-stage pipeline of offline pre-training and post-training alignment, and build an interactive bidding simulation environment for strategy rollout. Furthermore, we propose Decoupled Group Relative Policy Optimization (D-GRPO) to achieve end-to-end optimization via advantage decoupling. Experimental results on a large-scale public dataset demonstrate the effectiveness of AIGB-R1.

Opening the Black Box of Neural Auction Mechanisms

Li Kong, Zilong Liu, Haoyang Zhou, Hanbing Liu, Qi Qi

原文摘要

Neural auction design has emerged as a powerful paradigm within automated mechanism design for modern Web platforms. Because these learned mechanisms directly dictate critical economic outcomes, their lack of internal transparency raises significant auditability and trust concerns. Opening this black box \textit{post-hoc} is therefore essential, yet presents two distinctive challenges: (1) activation contexts are dense, correlated numerical profiles devoid of explicit semantic structure, and (2) feature interpretations can only be falsifiably audited if they map to measurable auction states or outcomes. In this paper, we propose a post-hoc white-box auditing framework for unpacking trained neural auctions. Using CITransNet as a representative testbed, we first employ sparse autoencoders to decompose hidden representations while faithfully preserving downstream auction behavior. Anchoring feature interpretations to native economic targets, we validate them through activation prediction and causal interventions to isolate verified features from the reconstruction dictionary. Finally, applying this pipeline across varied auction settings, we show that the verified features can serve as analytical instruments to examine how internal representations modulate strategic misreporting incentives, align with Myerson's optimal auction, and support the diagnosis of individual auctions. Our work highlights the potential of white-box mechanism auditing to build the foundational trust necessary for neural auctions to be deployed as widely adopted Web technologies. To enhance research transparency and facilitate independent inspection, we publicly release the experimental results supporting our findings at https://github.com/Li-Beverly-Kong/opening-neural-auctions.git

GearUp: DAG-aware Acceleration for Serverless Inference Serving via Slack-guided Pre-loading

Qi Qi, Yifan Sui, Hanfei Yu, Hong Zhang, Hao Wang

原文摘要

Serverless platforms increasingly host machine learning (ML) inference workflows, modeled as directed acyclic graphs (DAGs) of interdependent functions. Beyond container startup, each ML node must load libraries, model weights, and CUDA kernels before it can run. These costs accumulate along dependent DAG paths and place initialization on the end-to-end critical path. Existing systems optimize one half of this problem. DAG-agnostic pre-loading prepares nodes the request may never reach, wasting host and GPU memory. DAG-aware serving routes and scales whole functions, leaving the loading stages inside a node untouched. This paper presents GearUp, a serverless DAG inference serving system that removes ML-node loading from the end-to-end critical path at low resource cost. GearUp profiles the loading stages of each node and schedules them inside the slack time the DAG exposes, hiding initialization behind upstream execution. It reuses initialized instances within and across requests to avoid redundant cold starts. A probabilistic, traffic-adaptive keep-alive policy sets how long idle instances are retained, balancing memory cost against cold-start risk under bursty load. On the AMBER Alert and FINRA-ML workflows with NVIDIA L40S GPUs, GearUp reduces median end-to-end latency by 64.5% and 75.9% against SMIless, for median speedups of 3.1x and 10.0x over cold execution. Integrated GPU and host memory allocation fall by up to 83.9% and 94.6% against eager pre-loading in InstaInfer. GearUp achieves 4.2x strong scaling on four workers.

Agent Transfer Protocol: Server-Mediated Agent-to-Agent Communication Architecture for the Agentic Web

Yuqi Qiu, Zuyao Xu, Lu Sun, Xiang Li, Fasheng Miao, Fubin Wu, Haixin Duan, Zheli Liu

原文摘要

The Agentic Web needs to support continuous collaboration among agents from different organizations. These collaborative relationships may span multiple tasks, network connections and execution instances. Such interactions require stable communication entries, message reception when instances are offline, and source verification after delayed reading. How to organize these responsibilities so that cross domain communication does not depend on specific execution instances being continuously online is a key issue for building long term agent interaction infrastructure. We propose ATP (Agent Transfer Protocol), a cross organization agent communication protocol adopting a domain mediated architecture. In this architecture, administrative domains maintain stable addresses and receiving entries for logical agents. The domain servers of both parties continuously undertake cross domain transmission. The receiving domain verifies and saves messages for execution instances to read later. The sending domain signs the complete message envelope. This allows the receiving instance to independently reverify the domain source and content integrity after the original connection ends, provided the original verification public key is still trusted and obtainable. We implemented an ATP prototype and evaluated it through a controlled cross organization LLM agent workflow, mechanism checks and latency measurements. The workflow completed subsequent business processing after instances went offline or were replaced. The independent verifier successfully verified the domain source and content integrity of saved messages. Latency measurements further quantified the communication and processing overhead introduced by the continuous mediation of domain servers.

FlashDiff: Efficient Regional Execution and Scheduling for Diffusion Model Serving

Yaqi Qiao, Ping He, Songrun Xie, Ayush Barik, Chensong Zhang, Zhengzhong Tu, Fan Lai

原文摘要

Diffusion models have become the central backbone for modern image, video, and audio generation, but their efficient service remains a challenge. Unlike autoregressive decoding, diffusion inference repeatedly updates high-dimensional spatial or temporal latents over many denoising steps. This all-region execution pattern makes generation latency high and limits serving throughput. Existing multi-GPU parallelization methods can reduce per-step computation, but often introduce substantial activation exchange overhead, causing communication to offset or even outweigh the benefits of parallel execution. This paper presents FlashDiff, a diffusion serving system that improves inference efficiency through adaptive regional execution and scheduling. FlashDiff is based on the observation that diffusion refinement is not uniform across latent regions or denoising steps: different regions often stabilize at different rates, while neighboring steps exhibit strong temporal correlation. FlashDiff leverages these properties to selectively execute only regions that require further refinement and to reallocate the resulting compute slack across concurrent serving requests. FlashDiff consists of three mechanisms. First, it decomposes the latent representation into coherent execution regions using early-stage attention signals, preserving semantic structure while exposing fine-grained parallelism. Second, it uses a lightweight runtime controller to estimate region activity and bypass low-impact updates when further refinement is unlikely to affect output quality. Third, it applies an affinity-aware online scheduler that co-locates dependent regions, balances residual load across GPUs, and reuses reclaimed compute capacity to improve serving efficiency. Across real-world image, video, and audio workloads, FlashDiff reduces end-to-end serving latency by 30-97% and improves throughput by 1.2-2.2x.

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.

From Solver Trajectories to Teaching Trajectories: Cognition-Aligned Reasoning Distillation

Yashuo Luo, Qianren Mao, Ziqi Qin, Junnan Liu, Haitao Li, Qili Zhang, Yuan Gao, Zhijun Chen 等 9 位作者

原文摘要

Knowledge distillation from large reasoning models (LRMs) often uses raw teacher trajectories as supervision. However, this practice creates a mismatch between the goal of distillation and the nature of teacher trajectories. Advanced LRMs typically improve their reasoning capabilities through reward-driven post-training, such as RLHF. This training optimizes them as strong solvers, rather than as teachers that produce reasoning processes smaller models can easily learn. Since smaller models have different "cognitive capacities" compared to their larger teachers, directly imitating raw teacher trajectories can sometimes be ineffective and often requires a substantial number of high-quality samples. To bridge this mismatch, we propose Cognition-Aligned Reasoning Distillation (CARD), an RL-based framework that transforms solver trajectories into teaching trajectories aligned with the student's cognition. Avoiding expensive resampling, our framework directly transforms existing trajectories. We optimize CARD with two reward signals: (1) a Distribution Alignment Reward that matches the student's predictive distribution, and (2) a Logical Coherence Reward that reduces misleading failed reasoning steps. Comprehensive evaluations across multiple student models and settings demonstrate that CARD outperforms distillation from raw teacher trajectories in in-domain settings while achieving substantial gains in out-of-distribution performance. Code is available at https://github.com/LiteSSLHub/CARD.

Kronecker-Structured Video Completion with Cross-Fitted Self-Supervised Residual Learning

Qi Qi, Yanfei Wang, Yanjun Cui, Jun-e Feng

原文摘要

Tube-wise video completion reconstructs temporal trajectories at spatial locations unobserved in every frame. We propose a two-stage framework combining regularized masked Kronecker product decomposition (KPD) with cross-fitted self-supervised residual learning. First, we estimate a compact structural backbone directly from observed entries using cyclic component-wise least-squares updates, spatial and temporal factor regularization, and regularizer-optimal scale balancing. The exact updates yield a nonincreasing objective. Second, we address the mismatch between in-sample fitting errors and the prediction errors encountered at missing tubes. We partition observed tubes into folds and construct residual targets using backbone models fitted without the corresponding target tubes. A lightweight 3-D convolutional neural network then predicts corrections from the backbone, visible residual context, observation mask, and local detail features. Exact data consistency preserves observed measurements. Experiments include ablations, sensitivity analysis, grayscale and RGB video completion, and structured missing patterns. Our method achieves the highest mean PSNR and SSIM at the higher tested sampling rates on the grayscale benchmark. On eight selected DAVIS RGB sequences, it achieves the highest mean missing-region PSNR and full-frame SSIM and the lowest mean missing-tube temporal-gradient MAE at every evaluated sampling rate.

Example Quality Matters: Multi-Aspects Example Augmentation for Private Library Programming

Yuhao Li Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications, Haifeng Sun, Xuesong Zhang, Shu Yao, Haoyu Zheng, Yvchuan Wang Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications, Huazheng Wang, Zirui Zhuang Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications 等 11 位作者

原文摘要

Recent advances in large language models (LLMs) have significantly improved code-generation capabilities, particularly through retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) for private libraries. While RAG leverages API documentation to address the scarcity of private code corpora, its performance critically depends on the quality of retrieved examples. Existing approaches often overlook the intrinsic characteristics of these examples, particularly how factors such as complexity, readability, and correctness impact their effectiveness. In this study, we systematically investigate these three critical aspects—complexity, readability, and correctness—and find that optimal examples should exhibit moderate complexity, semantic correctness, and step-by-step execution patterns. Based on these findings, we propose ComboPrompt, a novel example enhancement method that strategically combines existing API examples to improve complexity, refines code structure for readability, and incorporates automated validation ensuring correctness. Extensive evaluations across five private library benchmarks and different LLMs demonstrate that ComboPrompt achieves up to 22% accuracy improvement over baseline approaches. Code is available at Github.

Towards Trustworthy Smart Contract Synthesis: A Multi-Agent Framework with Lean-Based Verification

Bowei Zhang, Hanbing Liu, Qixin Tian, Siyu Chen, Ziyuan Wang, Qi Qi Renmin University of China

原文摘要

Smart Contracts are the foundation of Decentralized Finance (DeFi), executing financial logic without trusted intermediaries. Recent advances in large language models (LLMs) have substantially lowered the barrier to smart contract development by enabling code generation from natural language. However, because smart contracts are immutable and directly manage financial assets, this accessibility introduces a critical trust gap: generated contracts are easy to produce but hard to trust. To bridge this gap, we present LeVer, the first trustworthy smart contract synthesis framework that integrates LLM-based generation with Lean-based auto-formalization and Verification. LeVer employs a closed-loop multi-agent architecture to iteratively generate, verify, attack, and repair contracts, providing both formal guarantees and empirical robustness. To facilitate the adoption of automated formal verification in smart contract generation and audition, we open-source our framework and datasets at: https://github.com/gl-bowei/LeVer

VALU: A Benchmark for Video Anomaly Temporal Localization and Understanding at Multiple Semantic Levels

原文摘要

Video anomaly understanding (VAU) is critical for real-world scenarios. Recent advances in Video Large Language Models (Video-LLMs) enhance the ability of VAU models to describe and interpret anomalies. However, progress in anomaly localization is still limited by two key issues. First, most existing video anomaly datasets only annotate segments that are clearly inconsistent with the context, often omitting subsequent segments that are semantically part of the same abnormal event. Second, the field lacks systematic evaluation protocols. To bridge these gaps, we introduce VALU, a new benchmark that explicitly defines anomalies across five semantic levels and provides comprehensive temporal boundaries and detailed textual descriptions for each. Based on these annotations, we design three evaluation tasks that comprehensively assess models’ capabilities across different dimensions, including temporal grounding, anomaly localization, and anomaly detail discrimination. Evaluation results reveal persistent challenges in current models’ capabilities on VAU. We further analyze and discuss these findings, and hope that both VALU and insights will advance research in VAU and the development of Video-LLMs. Our benchmark will be publicly available.

Controllable Memory Usage: Balancing Anchoring and Innovation in Long-Term Human–Agent Interaction

Zisu Huang, Muzhao Tian, Xiaohua Wang, Jingwen Xu, Zhengkang Guo, Qi Qian, Kaitao Song Apple, Jiakang Yuan Shanghai Artificial Intelligence Laboratory and Fudan University 等 10 位作者

原文摘要

As LLM-based agents are increasingly used in long-term interactions, cumulative memory is critical for enabling personalization and maintaining stylistic consistency. However, most existing systems adopt an “all-or-nothing” approach to memory usage: incorporating all relevant past information can lead to Memory Anchoring, where the agent is trapped by past interactions, while excluding memory entirely results in under-utilization and the loss of important interaction history. We show that an agent’s reliance on memory can be modeled as an explicit and user-controllable dimension. We first introduce a behavioral metric of memory dependence to quantify the influence of past interactions on current outputs. We then propose Steerable Memory Agent, SteeM, a framework that allows users to dynamically regulate memory reliance, ranging from a fresh-start mode that promotes innovation to a high-fidelity mode that closely follows interaction history. Experiments across different scenarios demonstrate that our approach consistently outperforms conventional prompting and rigid memory masking strategies, yielding a more nuanced and effective control for personalized human-agent collaboration.

AdvancedIF: Rubric-Based Benchmarking and Reinforcement Learning for Advancing LLM Instruction Following

Yun He Meta, Wenzhe Li Princeton University, Hejia Zhang Facebook, Songlin Li Facebook and Stanford University, Karishma Mandyam, Sopan Khosla Facebook, Yuanhao Xiong University of California, Los Angeles, Nanshu Wang Facebook 等 25 位作者

原文摘要

Recent progress in large language models (LLMs) has led to impressive performance on a range of tasks, yet advanced instruction following (IF)—especially for complex, multi-turn, and system-prompted instructions—remains a significant challenge. Rigorous evaluation and effective training for such capabilities are hindered by the lack of high-quality, human-annotated benchmarks and reliable, interpretable reward signals. In this work, we introduce AdvancedIF, a comprehensive benchmark featuring over 1,600 prompts and expert-curated rubrics that assess LLMs’ ability to follow complex, multi-turn, and system-level instructions. We also open-source the evaluation script of AdvancedIF. We further propose RIFL (Rubric-based Instruction-Following Learning), a novel post-training pipeline that leverages rubric generation, a finetuned rubric verifier, and reward shaping to enable effective reinforcement learning for instruction following. Extensive experiments demonstrate that RIFL substantially improves the instruction-following abilities of LLMs, achieving a 6.7% absolute gain on AdvancedIF and strong results on public benchmarks. Our ablation studies confirm the effectiveness of each component in RIFL. This work establishes rubrics as a powerful tool for both training and evaluating advanced IF in LLMs, paving the way for more capable and reliable AI systems.
