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…

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…
