DR-Arena: an Automated Evaluation Framework for Deep Research Agents

Yiwen Gao, Ruochen Zhao, Yang Deng +1

As Large Language Models (LLMs) increasingly operate as Deep Research (DR) Agents capable of autonomous investigation and information synthesis, reliable evaluation of their task p…

Self-Evolving World Models for LLM Agent Planning

Xuan Zhang, Wenxuan Zhang, See-Kiong Ng +1

World models offer a principled way to equip long-horizon LLM agents with foresight: predictions of action consequences before execution. However, unreliable foresight can be ignor…

Agentic World Modeling: Foundations, Capabilities, Laws, and Beyond

Meng Chu, Xuan Billy Zhang, Kevin Qinghong Lin +47

As AI systems move from generating text to accomplishing goals through sustained interaction, the ability to model environment dynamics becomes a central bottleneck. Agents that ma…

Do LLMs Really Know What They Don't Know? Internal States Mainly Reflect Knowledge Recall Rather Than Truthfulness

Chi Seng Cheang, Hou Pong Chan, Wenxuan Zhang +1

Recent work suggests that LLMs "know what they don't know", positing that hallucinated and factually correct outputs arise from distinct internal processes and can therefore be dis…

RAVENEA: A Benchmark for Multimodal Retrieval-Augmented Visual Culture Understanding

Jiaang Li, Yifei Yuan, Wenyan Li +8

As vision-language models (VLMs) become increasingly integrated into daily life, the need for accurate visual culture understanding is becoming critical. Yet, these models frequent…

When Less Language is More: Language-Reasoning Disentanglement Makes LLMs Better Multilingual Reasoners

Weixiang Zhao, Jiahe Guo, Yang Deng +9

Multilingual reasoning remains a significant challenge for large language models (LLMs), with performance disproportionately favoring high-resource languages. Drawing inspiration f…
