CLIFT: Conformal Self-Verification for Web Agent Training and Test-Time Scaling

Yifan Zhang, Yutong Dai, Viraj Prabhu +3

Open-source web agents are now strong enough to execute realistic browser tasks, but training them with reinforcement learning still depends on weak supervision: binary task succes…

Opera: A Verbal Critic Framework for Long-horizon Coding Agents

Kai Mei, Zhiyuan Hu, Yutong Dai +7

Long-horizon coding agents need timely corrections, yet feedback can be ineffective or even harmful when it misjudges ongoing work or fails to address the underlying problem. Exist…

DarwinX: Evolving Agent Harnesses Through Natural Selection

Yifan Zhang, Yutong Dai, Juntao Tan +9

An LLM agent's capability depends not only on model weights but on its harness: prompts, tools, skills, and control flow. Self-improvement loops already edit harnesses, yet single-…

ConvApparel: A Benchmark Dataset and Validation Framework for User Simulators in Conversational Recommenders

Ofer Meshi, Krisztian Balog, Sally Goldman +5

The promise of LLM-based user simulators to improve conversational AI is hindered by a critical "realism gap," leading to systems that are optimized for simulated interactions, but…

EvoClinician: A Self-Evolving Agent for Multi-Turn Medical Diagnosis via Test-Time Evolutionary Learning

Yufei He, Juncheng Liu, Zhiyuan Hu +9

Prevailing medical AI operates on an unrealistic ''one-shot'' model, diagnosing from a complete patient file. However, real-world diagnosis is an iterative inquiry where Clinicians…

Rewarding the Rare: Uniqueness-Aware RL for Creative Problem Solving in LLMs

Zhiyuan Hu, Yucheng Wang, Yufei He +7

Reinforcement learning (RL) has become a central paradigm for post-training large language models (LLMs), particularly for complex reasoning tasks, yet it often suffers from explor…

Physical Plausibility Reasoning via HCM-GRPO: Empowering Compact Model for Superior Performance

Zhiyuan Hu, Zheng Sun, Yi Wei +1

The performance of image generation has been significantly improved in recent years. However, the study of image screening is rare, and its performance with Multimodal Large Langua…

Aligning Deep Implicit Preferences by Learning to Reason Defensively

Peiming Li, Zhiyuan Hu, Yang Tang +2

Personalized alignment is crucial for enabling Large Language Models (LLMs) to engage effectively in user-centric interactions. However, current methods face a dual challenge: they…

GTA1: GUI Test-time Scaling Agent

Yan Yang, Dongxu Li, Yutong Dai +12

Graphical user interface (GUI) agents autonomously complete tasks across platforms (\eg, Linux) by sequentially decomposing user instructions into action proposals that iteratively…

Not All Tokens and Heads Are Equally Important: Dual-Level Attention Intervention for Hallucination Mitigation

Lexiang Tang, Xianwei Zhuang, Bang Yang +5

Large vision-language models (LVLMs) have demonstrated impressive capabilities across diverse multimodal tasks, yet they remain highly susceptible to visual hallucinations (VH), of…

MMVU: Measuring Expert-Level Multi-Discipline Video Understanding

Yilun Zhao, Lujing Xie, Haowei Zhang +16

We introduce MMVU, a comprehensive expert-level, multi-discipline benchmark for evaluating foundation models in video understanding. MMVU includes 3,000 expert-annotated questions…
