What Makes a Good Curriculum? Disentangling the Effects of Data Ordering on LLM Mathematical Reasoning
Yaning Jia, Chunhui Zhang, Xingjian Diao +4
Curriculum learning (CL) - ordering training data from easy to hard - has become a popular strategy for improving reasoning in large language models (LLMs). Yet prior work employs…
Non-parametric Graph Convolution for Re-ranking in Recommendation Systems
Zhongyu Ouyang, Mingxuan Ju, Soroush Vosoughi +1
Graph knowledge has been proven effective in enhancing item rankings in recommender systems (RecSys), particularly during the retrieval stage. However, its application in the ranki…
Growing Through Experience: Scaling Episodic Grounding in Language Models
Chunhui Zhang, Sirui, Wang +3
Language models (LMs) require robust episodic grounding-the capacity to learn from and apply past experiences-to excel at physical planning tasks. Current episodic grounding approa…
SoundMind: RL-Incentivized Logic Reasoning for Audio-Language Models
Xingjian Diao, Chunhui Zhang, Keyi Kong +6
While large language models have demonstrated impressive reasoning abilities, their extension to the audio modality, particularly within large audio-language models (LALMs), remain…
What Makes LLMs Effective Sequential Recommenders? A Study on Preference Intensity and Temporal Context
Zhongyu Ouyang, Qianlong Wen, Chunhui Zhang +2
What enables large language models (LLMs) to effectively model user preferences in sequential recommendation? Our investigation reveals that existing preference-alignment approache…
Overcoming Multi-step Complexity in Multimodal Theory-of-Mind Reasoning: A Scalable Bayesian Planner
Chunhui Zhang, Zhongyu Ouyang, Kwonjoon Lee +4
Theory-of-Mind (ToM) enables humans to infer mental states-such as beliefs, desires, and intentions-forming the foundation of social cognition. However, existing computational ToM…
Music Audio-Visual Question Answering Requires Specialized Multimodal Designs
Wenhao You, Xingjian Diao, Wenjun Huang +9
While recent Multimodal Large Language Models exhibit impressive capabilities for general multimodal tasks, specialized domains like music necessitate tailored approaches. Music Au…
Scaled Supervision is an Implicit Lipschitz Regularizer
Zhongyu Ouyang, Chunhui Zhang, Yaning Jia +1
In modern social media, recommender systems (RecSys) rely on the click-through rate (CTR) as the standard metric to evaluate user engagement. CTR prediction is traditionally framed…
Pretrained Image-Text Models are Secretly Video Captioners
Chunhui Zhang, Yiren Jian, Zhongyu Ouyang +1
Developing video captioning models is computationally expensive. The dynamic nature of video also complicates the design of multimodal models that can effectively caption these seq…
Learning Musical Representations for Music Performance Question Answering
Xingjian Diao, Chunhui Zhang, Tingxuan Wu +4
Music performances are representative scenarios for audio-visual modeling. Unlike common scenarios with sparse audio, music performances continuously involve dense audio signals th…
Temporal Working Memory: Query-Guided Segment Refinement for Enhanced Multimodal Understanding
Xingjian Diao, Chunhui Zhang, Weiyi Wu +5
Multimodal foundation models (MFMs) have demonstrated significant success in tasks such as visual captioning, question answering, and image-text retrieval. However, these models fa…
