LEAP: Learning Efficient Action Proposals For LLM Agents

Zhen Xu, Qizheng Zhang, Gerry Wan +2

LLM agents are known to be slow in rollouts. An agent completes a task one step at a time. At each step, it reasons and then chooses an action to execute. The next step and action…

HoMer: Addressing Heterogeneities by Modeling Sequential and Set-wise Contexts for CTR Prediction

Shuwei Chen, Jiajun Cui, Zhengqi Xu +4

Click-through rate (CTR) prediction, which models behavior sequence and non-sequential features (e.g., user/item profiles or cross features) to infer user interest, underpins indus…
