Tevatron-Elastic: A Unified Abstraction for Training Elastic Retrievers and Rerankers
Yu Wang, Shengyao Zhuang, Xueguang Ma +4
A single model scale challenges the flexibility of a production retrieval system: some settings need it faster, others need a smaller index, and the right trade-off changes with th…
Beyond Correctness: Rewarding Faithful Reasoning in Retrieval-Augmented Generation
Zhichao Xu, Zongyu Wu, Yun Zhou +9
Inspired by the success of reinforcement learning (RL) in Large Language Model (LLM) training for domains like math and code, recent work has begun training LLMs to dynamically pla…
Harness Updating Is Not Harness Benefit: Disentangling Evolution Capabilities in Self-Evolving LLM Agents
Minhua Lin, Juncheng Wu, Zijun Wang +14
LLM agents are increasingly deployed as systems built around editable external harnesses, including prompts, skills, memories and tools, that shape task execution without changing…
Position: Agentic Evolution is the Path to Evolving LLMs
Minhua Lin, Hanqing Lu, Zhan Shi +11
As Large Language Models (LLMs) move from curated training sets into open-ended real-world environments, a fundamental limitation emerges: static training cannot keep pace with con…
Image Corruption-Inspired Membership Inference Attacks against Large Vision-Language Models
Zongyu Wu, Minhua Lin, Zhiwei Zhang +4
Large vision-language models (LVLMs) have demonstrated outstanding performance in many downstream tasks. However, LVLMs are trained on large-scale datasets, which can pose privacy…
A Comprehensive Survey on Reinforcement Learning-based Agentic Search: Foundations, Roles, Optimizations, Evaluations, and Applications
Minhua Lin, Zongyu Wu, Zhichao Xu +6
The advent of large language models (LLMs) has transformed information access and reasoning through open-ended natural language interaction. However, LLMs remain limited by static…
