The Missing Primitive: Diagnosing and Repairing Mathematical Reasoning in Large Language Models

Shuo Xing, Zilin Dai, Chengyuan Qian +7

While Large Language Models (LLMs) have demonstrated striking capabilities on frontier mathematical problems, it remains unclear whether they possess the structural mathematical un…

ReSCENE: Server-Side Replay for Structural Mitigation of Catastrophic Forgetting in Federated Continual Learning

Sungmin Kang, Zhengzhong Tu, Sunwoo Lee

Federated continual learning must integrate new tasks over time without losing earlier-task knowledge. Most existing methods attach an anti-forgetting mechanism to the client-train…

CV-Arena: An Open Benchmark for Instructional Computer Vision Problem Solving with Human-AI Collaborative Preferences

Fangzhou Lin, Peiran Li, Lingyu Xu +12

Instruction-guided image editing is becoming a general interface for visual work, yet existing benchmarks still focus largely on narrow appearance edits and do not fully capture th…

PathCal: State-Aware Reflection-Marker Calibration for Efficient Reasoning

Lingyu Jiang, Zirui Li, Shuo Xing +7

Large Reasoning Language Models (LRMs) tackle complex tasks through test-time scaling, generating long-form Chain-of-Thought (CoT) trajectories during inference. These trajectories…

CAPS: Cascaded Adaptive Pairwise Selection for Efficient Parallel Reasoning

Fangzhou Lin, Shuo Xing, Peiran Li +6

Parallel reasoning, where a generator samples many candidate solutions and an aggregator selects the best, is one of the most effective forms of test-time scaling in large language…

Let the Abyss Stare Back Adaptive Falsification for Autonomous Scientific Discovery

Peiran Li, Fangzhou Lin, Shuo Xing +5

Autonomous scientific discovery is entering a more dangerous regime: once the evaluator is frozen, a sufficiently strong search process can learn to win the exam without learning t…

ConsID-Gen: View-Consistent and Identity-Preserving Image-to-Video Generation

Mingyang Wu, Ashirbad Mishra, Soumik Dey +5

Image-to-Video generation (I2V) animates a static image into a temporally coherent video sequence following textual instructions, yet preserving fine-grained object identity under…

Position: Human-Centric AI Requires a Minimum Viable Level of Human Understanding

Fangzhou Lin, Qianwen Ge, Lingyu Xu +7

AI systems increasingly produce fluent, correct, end-to-end outcomes. Over time, this erodes users' ability to explain, verify, or intervene. We define this divergence as the Capab…

Traversal-as-Policy: Log-Distilled Gated Behavior Trees as Externalized, Verifiable Policies for Safe, Robust, and Efficient Agents

Peiran Li, Jiashuo Sun, Fangzhou Lin +5

Autonomous LLM agents fail because long-horizon policy remains implicit in model weights and transcripts, while safety is retrofitted post hoc. We propose Traversal-as-Policy: dist…

BibAgent: An Agentic Framework for Traceable Miscitation Detection in Scientific Literature

Peiran Li, Fangzhou Lin, Shuo Xing +6

Citations are the bedrock of scientific authority, yet their integrity is compromised by widespread miscitations: ranging from nuanced distortions to fabricated references. Systema…

TimePre: Bridging Accuracy, Efficiency, and Stability in Probabilistic Time-Series Forecasting

Lingyu Jiang, Lingyu Xu, Peiran Li +14

We propose TimePre, a simple framework that unifies the efficiency of Multilayer Perceptron (MLP)-based models with the distributional flexibility of Multiple Choice Learning (MCL)…

Does RLVR Extend Reasoning Boundaries? Investigating Capability Expansion in Vision-Language Models

Minghe Shen, Zhuo Zhi, Chonghan Liu +3

Recent studies posit that Reinforcement Learning with Verifiable Rewards (RLVR) primarily amplifies behaviors inherent to the pre-training distribution rather than inducing new cap…

Q-Router: Agentic Video Quality Assessment with Expert Model Routing and Artifact Localization

Shuo Xing, Soumik Dey, Mingyang Wu +5

Video quality assessment (VQA) is a fundamental computer vision task that aims to predict the perceptual quality of a given video in alignment with human judgments. Existing perfor…

LLMs Can Get "Brain Rot": A Pilot Study on Twitter/X

Shuo Xing, Junyuan Hong, Yifan Wang +5

We propose and test the LLM Brain Rot Hypothesis: continual exposure to junk web text induces lasting cognitive decline in large language models (LLMs). To unveil junk effects, we…

Demystifying the Visual Quality Paradox in Multimodal Large Language Models

Shuo Xing, Lanqing Guo, Hongyuan Hua +5

Recent Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) excel on benchmark vision-language tasks, yet little is known about how input visual quality shapes their responses. Does higher per…
