Agentic Context Learning with Self-Discovered Specification
Jike Zhong, Ming Li, Yuxiang Lai +8
Context learning is an emerging inference-time task where LLMs must learn and apply novel, task-specific knowledge from intricate contexts absent from pre-training; even frontier m…
From Shortcuts to Reasoning: Robust Post-Training of Theory of Mind with Reinforcement Learning
Jike Zhong, Yuxiang Lai, Ming Li +5
Theory of Mind (ToM) is a must-acquire skill for modern foundation model systems to operate effectively and safely in the real world. Recent works have explored honing ToM via post…
Are Video Models Emerging as Zero-Shot Learners and Reasoners in Medical Imaging?
Yuxiang Lai, Jike Zhong, Ming Li +2
Recent advances in large generative models have shown that simple autoregressive formulations, when scaled appropriately, can exhibit strong zero-shot generalization across domains…
TIR-Bench: A Comprehensive Benchmark for Agentic Thinking-with-Images Reasoning
Ming Li, Jike Zhong, Shitian Zhao +6
The frontier of visual reasoning is shifting toward models like OpenAI o3, which can intelligently create and operate tools to transform images for problem-solving, also known as t…
Med-R1: Reinforcement Learning for Generalizable Medical Reasoning in Vision-Language Models
Yuxiang Lai, Jike Zhong, Ming Li +4
Vision-language models (VLMs) have achieved impressive progress in natural image reasoning, yet their potential in medical imaging remains underexplored. Medical vision-language ta…
Think or Not Think: A Study of Explicit Thinking in Rule-Based Visual Reinforcement Fine-Tuning
Ming Li, Jike Zhong, Shitian Zhao +4
This paper investigates the role of explicit thinking process in rule-based reinforcement fine-tuning (RFT) for MLLMs. We first propose CLS-RL for MLLM image classification, using…
