LazyMem: Retrieve Broadly, Construct Selectively for Efficient Long-Term Agent Memory

Jing Yu, Yibo Zhao, Jiaming Zhang +1

Long-term memory enables LLM agents to leverage past interactions, but dialogue histories quickly exceed the context window, forcing agents to retrieve relevant subsets at query ti…

Think Big, Search Small: Where Capacity Matters in Hierarchical Search Agents?

Qinnan Cai, Yibo Zhao, Xiang Li

Large language model based search agents increasingly adopt multi-agent architectures in which a main agent decomposes a complex question into sub-queries and dispatches them to pa…

Skill is Not One-Size-Fits-All: Model-Aware Skill Alignment for LLM Agents

Jianxiang Yu, Jiapeng Zhu, Bochen Lin +3

LLM agents increasingly retrieve externally curated skills-procedural instructions retrieved at decision time-to improve performance on long-horizon interactive tasks. Existing ski…

Retrieval, Reward, and Training Protocols: What Matters in Training Search Agents?

Yibo Zhao, Zichen Ding, Jiayi Wu +2

Search agents powered by large language models can autonomously decompose queries, retrieve information, and synthesize answers through multi-step reasoning. However, the rapid gro…

World Models: A Comprehensive Survey of Architectures, Methodologies, Reasoning Paradigms, and Applications

Arif Hassan Zidan, Yi Pan, Hanqi Jiang +23

World models, internal simulators that learn the structure and dynamics of an environment, have emerged as a central paradigm in the pursuit of artificial general intelligence, ena…

Skill0.5: Joint Skill Internalization and Utilization for Out-of-Distribution Generalization in Agentic Reinforcement Learning

Jiapeng Zhu, Jianxiang Yu, Yibo Zhao +5

Equipping large language models with explicit skills has emerged as a promising paradigm for enabling autonomous agents to solve complex tasks. Agent skills can be inherently divid…
