ReSkill: Reconciling Skill Creation with Policy Optimization in Agentic RL

Zelin He, Haotian Lin, Boran Han +6

Agentic reinforcement learning (RL) enables LLM agents to improve continuously from environment rewards, yet the resulting policies do not systematically accumulate reusable strate…

Understanding the Implicit Biases of Design Choices for Time Series Foundation Models

Annan Yu, Danielle C. Maddix, Boran Han +7

Time series foundation models (TSFMs) are a class of potentially powerful, general-purpose tools for time series forecasting and related temporal tasks, but their behavior is stron…

Understanding Transformers for Time Series: Rank Structure, Flow-of-ranks, and Compressibility

Annan Yu, Danielle C. Maddix, Boran Han +7

Transformers are widely used across data modalities, and yet the principles distilled from text models often transfer imperfectly to models trained to other modalities. In this pap…

CrEst: Credibility Estimation for Contexts in LLMs via Weak Supervision

Dyah Adila, Shuai Zhang, Boran Han +2

The integration of contextual information has significantly enhanced the performance of large language models (LLMs) on knowledge-intensive tasks. However, existing methods often o…

Adapting to Online Distribution Shifts in Deep Learning: A Black-Box Approach

Dheeraj Baby, Boran Han, Shuai Zhang +3

We study the well-motivated problem of online distribution shift in which the data arrive in batches and the distribution of each batch can change arbitrarily over time. Since the…

Effectively Steer LLM To Follow Preference via Building Confident Directions

Bingqing Song, Boran Han, Shuai Zhang +5

Having an LLM that aligns with human preferences is essential for accommodating individual needs, such as maintaining writing style or generating specific topics of interest. The m…

Transferring Knowledge from Large Foundation Models to Small Downstream Models

Shikai Qiu, Boran Han, Danielle C. Maddix +3

How do we transfer the relevant knowledge from ever larger foundation models into small, task-specific downstream models that can run at much lower costs? Standard transfer learnin…

Discovering Bias in Latent Space: An Unsupervised Debiasing Approach

Dyah Adila, Shuai Zhang, Boran Han +1

The question-answering (QA) capabilities of foundation models are highly sensitive to prompt variations, rendering their performance susceptible to superficial, non-meaning-alterin…
