EvolvingBrain: An Adaptive Skill System for Multi-modal Agents Self-Evolution in Open Worlds
Runxuan Liu, Jingqi Shi, Baoxin Wang +10
Multi-modal agents have made significant progress in interacting with open worlds. However, their ability to self-evolve remains limited. Supervised fine-tuning enables imitation b…
Proactive Physical AI through Continuous Observation and Timely Intervention
Zhenhua Yang, Jiafeng Liang, Xingyu Zhou +26
Physical AI is commonly formulated around an explicitly specified task: given a goal or instruction, a system perceives, reasons, and acts. In many real-world settings, however, im…
GRAIN: Bridging Name and Narrative Shifts in Real-World Graph Reasoning through Invariance-Rewarded Agentic RL
Zike Yuan, Han Zhang, Jianzhi Yan +10
Despite their potential in standardized graph tasks, Large Language Models (LLMs) remain brittle to real-world shifts in node identifiers and task formulation. While deterministic…
LiveBrowseComp: Are Search Agents Searching, or Just Verifying What They Already Know?
HuiMing Fan, Xiao Wang, Zheng Chu +5
Are LLM-based search agents genuinely searching, or using the web to verify what they already know? We study this question on BrowseComp with three diagnostics. Our analysis reveal…
The Readout Shortcut: Positional Number Copying Dominates Arithmetic CoT Readout in Small Language Models
Ming Liu
Chain-of-thought (CoT) prompting is necessary for arithmetic in small language models, yet shuffling its steps preserves most performance. What does CoT contribute if not logical s…
Self-Training Doesn't Flatten Language -- It Restructures It: Surface Markers Amplify While Deep Syntax Dies
Ming Liu
Successive self-training on a language model's own outputs is widely characterized as a process of flattening: diversity drops, distributions narrow, and the text becomes "more lik…
EGL-SCA: Structural Credit Assignment for Co-Evolving Instructions and Tools in Graph Reasoning Agents
Zike Yuan, Yukun Cao, Han Zhang +7
Graph reasoning agents operating from natural-language inputs must solve a coupled problem: they must reconstruct a structured graph instance from text, decide whether existing com…
Perception Without Engagement: Dissecting the Causal Discovery Deficit in LMMs
Jiafeng Liang, Zhihao Zhu, Zihan Zhang +7
Although Large Multimodal Models (LMMs) have achieved strong performance on general video understanding, their susceptibility to textual prior shortcuts during causal discovery has…
In-Context Fixation: When Demonstrated Labels Override Semantics in Few-Shot Classification
Ming Liu
While random demonstration labels barely hurt in-context learning (Min et al., 2022), we show that homogeneous labels--even semantically valid ones--collapse accuracy to <=12% acro…
Parameter- and Bandwidth-Efficient Edge--cloud Many-to-Many Speech-to-Text Translation
Yexing Du, Kaiyuan Liu, Youcheng Pan +5
Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have demonstrated significant potential for speech-to-text translation (S2TT). However, existing deployment paradigms face critical challen…
The Evolution of Tool Use in LLM Agents: From Single-Tool Call to Multi-Tool Orchestration
Haoyuan Xu, Chang Li, Xinyan Ma +12
Tool use enables large language models (LLMs) to access external information, invoke software systems, and act in digital environments beyond what can be solved from model paramete…
LoopRPT: Reinforcement Pre-Training for Looped Language Models
Guo Tang, Shixin Jiang, Heng Chang +7
Looped language models (LoopLMs) perform iterative latent computation to refine internal representations, offering an alternative to explicit chain-of-thought (CoT) reasoning. Howe…
Scalable Multilingual Multimodal Machine Translation with Speech-Text Fusion
Yexing Du, Youcheng Pan, Zekun Wang +7
Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) have achieved notable success in enhancing translation performance by integrating multimodal information. However, existing research primar…
Beyond the Flat Sequence: Hierarchical and Preference-Aware Generative Recommendations
Zerui Chen, Heng Chang, Tianying Liu +5
Generative Recommenders (GRs), exemplified by the Hierarchical Sequential Transduction Unit (HSTU), have emerged as a powerful paradigm for modeling long user interaction sequences…
Analyzing Reasoning Consistency in Large Multimodal Models under Cross-Modal Conflicts
Zhihao Zhu, Jiafeng Liang, Shixin Jiang +5
Large Multimodal Models (LMMs) have demonstrated impressive capabilities in video reasoning via Chain-of-Thought (CoT). However, the robustness of their reasoning chains remains qu…
