The Generalization Spectrum: A Chromatographic Approach to Evaluating Learning Algorithms
Jinghan Zhang, Zerui Cheng, Shiqi Chen +5
Traditional evaluations measure a learning algorithm's final performance on an i.i.d. test set, reducing learning to a single aggregate score. This approach obscures a fundamental…
SkillCraft: Can LLM Agents Learn to Use Tools Skillfully?
Shiqi Chen, Jingze Gai, Ruochen Zhou +13
Real-world tool-using agents operate over long-horizon workflows with recurring structure and diverse demands, where effective behavior requires not only invoking atomic tools but…
Internalizing World Models via Self-Play Finetuning for Agentic RL
Shiqi Chen, Tongyao Zhu, Zian Wang +7
Large Language Models (LLMs) as agents often struggle in out-of-distribution (OOD) scenarios. Real-world environments are complex and dynamic, governed by task-specific rules and s…
Why Is Spatial Reasoning Hard for VLMs? An Attention Mechanism Perspective on Focus Areas
Shiqi Chen, Tongyao Zhu, Ruochen Zhou +7
Large Vision Language Models (VLMs) have long struggled with spatial reasoning tasks. Surprisingly, even simple spatial reasoning tasks, such as recognizing "under" or "behind" rel…
Bring Reason to Vision: Understanding Perception and Reasoning through Model Merging
Shiqi Chen, Jinghan Zhang, Tongyao Zhu +5
Vision-Language Models (VLMs) combine visual perception with the general capabilities, such as reasoning, of Large Language Models (LLMs). However, the mechanisms by which these tw…
