EmoS: A Theory-Grounded Framework for Evaluating and Aligning Emotional Intelligence in Spoken Language Models
Junyu Wang, Siyuan Zhang, Peiyuan Jiang +11
Despite significant advances in instruction-following and auditory comprehension, the evaluation of Emotional Intelligence (EI) in Spoken Language Models (SLMs) remains confined to…
The Verification Horizon: No Silver Bullet for Coding Agent Rewards
Binghai Wang, Chenlong Zhang, Dayiheng Liu +10
A classical intuition holds that verifying a solution is easier than producing one. For today's coding agents, this intuition is being inverted: as foundation models develop strong…
EChO-Agent: Evidence Chain Orchestration Agent for Audio Reasoning
Siyuan Zhang, Jian Zong, Junyu Wang +7
While LALMs show promise on audio question answering, they fail to focus on question-relevant segments of audio and provide a clear, checkable reasoning process when dealing with c…
EXG: Self-Evolving Agents with Experience Graphs
Yuxin Jin, Siyuan Zhang, Hanchen Wang +3
Large language model (LLM)-based agents have demonstrated strong capabilities in complex reasoning and problem solving through multi-step interactions, yet most deployed agents rem…
Safety Alignment as Continual Learning: Mitigating the Alignment Tax via Orthogonal Gradient Projection
Guanglong Sun, Siyuan Zhang, Liyuan Wang +3
Safety post-training can improve the harmfulness and policy compliance of Large Language Models (LLMs), but it may also reduce general utility, a phenomenon often described as the…
Reasoning as State Transition: A Representational Analysis of Reasoning Evolution in Large Language Models
Siyuan Zhang, Jialian Li, Yichi Zhang +3
Large Language Models have achieved remarkable performance on reasoning tasks, motivating research into how this ability evolves during training. Prior work has primarily analyzed…
