Training LLM Agents for Spontaneous, Reward-Free Self-Evolution via World Knowledge Exploration
Qifan Zhang, Dongyang Ma, Tianqing Fang +5
Most agents today ``self-evolve'' by following rewards and rules defined by humans. However, this process remains fundamentally dependent on external supervision; without human gui…
Adaptive Spiking Neurons for Vision and Language Modeling
Chenlin Zhou, Sihang Guo, Jiaqi Wang +5
Regarded as the third generation of neural networks, Spiking Neural Networks (SNNs) have garnered significant traction due to their biological plausibility and energy efficiency. R…
Winner-Take-All Spiking Transformer for Language Modeling
Chenlin Zhou, Sihang Guo, Jiaqi Wang +6
Spiking Transformers, which combine the scalability of Transformers with the sparse, energy-efficient property of Spiking Neural Networks (SNNs), have achieved impressive results i…
The Pensieve Paradigm: Stateful Language Models Mastering Their Own Context
Xiaoyuan Liu, Tian Liang, Dongyang Ma +4
In the world of Harry Potter, when Dumbledore's mind is overburdened, he extracts memories into a Pensieve to be revisited later. In the world of AI, while we possess the Pensieve-…
Free(): Learning to Forget in Malloc-Only Reasoning Models
Yilun Zheng, Dongyang Ma, Tian Liang +5
Reasoning models enhance problem-solving by scaling test-time compute, yet they face a critical paradox: excessive thinking tokens often degrade performance rather than improve it.…
Locas: Your Models are Principled Initializers of Locally-Supported Parametric Memories
Sidi Lu, Zhenwen Liang, Dongyang Ma +3
In this paper, we aim to bridge test-time-training with a new type of parametric memory that can be flexibly offloaded from or merged into model parameters. We present Locas, a Loc…
