Beyond SFT-to-RL: Pre-alignment via Black-Box On-Policy Distillation for Multimodal RL
Sudong Wang, Weiquan Huang, Xiaomin Yu +9
The standard post-training recipe for large multimodal models (LMMs) applies supervised fine-tuning (SFT) on curated demonstrations followed by reinforcement learning with verifiab…
QuantaAlpha: An Evolutionary Framework for LLM-Driven Alpha Mining
Jun Han, Shuo Zhang, Wei Li +14
Financial markets are noisy and non-stationary, making alpha mining highly sensitive to backtest noise and regime shifts. While recent agentic frameworks improve automation, they o…
Watching, Reasoning, and Searching: A Video Deep Research Benchmark on Open Web for Agentic Video Reasoning
Chengwen Liu, Xiaomin Yu, Zhuoyue Chang +15
In real-world video question answering scenarios, videos often provide only localized visual cues, while verifiable answers are distributed across the open web; models therefore ne…
ICRL: Learning to Internalize Self-Critique with Reinforcement Learning
Jianbo Lin, Xiaomin Yu, Yi Xin +7
Large language model-based agents make mistakes, yet critique can often guide the same model toward correct behavior. However, when critique is removed, the model may fail again on…
Chain of Mindset: Reasoning with Adaptive Cognitive Modes
Tianyi Jiang, Arctanx An, Hengyi Feng +12
Human problem-solving is never the repetition of a single mindset, by which we mean a distinct mode of cognitive processing. When tackling a specific task, we do not rely on a sing…
EvoFSM: Controllable Self-Evolution for Deep Research with Finite State Machines
Shuo Zhang, Chaofa Yuan, Ryan Guo +11
While LLM-based agents have shown promise for deep research, most existing approaches rely on fixed workflows that struggle to adapt to real-world, open-ended queries. Recent work…
