Harness-Search: Guiding Long-Horizon Search through Multi-Agent Coordination
Shanyong Wang, Zhenwen Ji, Lei Jin +7
Long-horizon search requires agents to gather evidence across multiple steps and synthesize it into well-supported answers. The recent agent harnesses provide a natural and promisi…
Momentum-Coupled Rubric Adaptation for Detailed Image Captioning
Zhenwen Ji, Lei Jin, Shanyong Wang +6
Detailed image captioning requires accurate and comprehensive descriptions of fine-grained visual content, yet caption quality spans factual accuracy, information coverage, and cla…
From Glance to Scrutiny: Progressive Distortion Reasoning for Fine-Grained Image Quality Assessment
Aoting Zhang, Mingze Gao, Dongbao Yang +5
Multi-modal large language models (MLLMs) have demonstrated significant potential in image quality assessment (IQA) by bridging visual perception with descriptive evaluations. Howe…
Multi-Image Visual Token Pruning in Large Visual Language Models
Rongyang Zhang, Chengqiang Lu, Cong Li +9
With the growing demand for processing multiple image sequences in real-world applications, various visual token pruning methods have emerged to mitigate the computational and cont…
RING: Retrieval-Internalized Generation for Continual Large-Scale Knowledge Injection
Shicheng Xu, Liang Pang, Liyi Chen +7
Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) improves factuality but adds latency and engineering overhead at serving time. We propose RING (Retrieval-Internalized Generation), a holistic…
Aligning Large Language Models with Searcher Preferences
Wei Wu, Peilun Zhou, Liyi Chen +6
The paradigm shift from item-centric ranking to answer-centric synthesis is redefining the role of search engines. While recent industrial progress has applied generative technique…
Self-Compression of Chain-of-Thought via Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning
Yiqun Chen, Jinyuan Feng, Wei Yang +9
The inference overhead induced by redundant reasoning undermines the interactive experience and severely bottlenecks the deployment of Large Reasoning Models. Existing reinforcemen…
JADE: Bridging the Strategic-Operational Gap in Dynamic Agentic RAG
Yiqun Chen, Erhan Zhang, Tianyi Hu +8
The evolution of Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) has shifted from static retrieval pipelines to dynamic, agentic workflows where a central planner orchestrates multi-turn reas…
Anti-Length Shift: Dynamic Outlier Truncation for Training Efficient Reasoning Models
Wei Wu, Liyi Chen, Congxi Xiao +7
Large reasoning models enhanced by reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards have achieved significant performance gains by extending their chain-of-thought. However, this par…
RAG-IGBench: Innovative Evaluation for RAG-based Interleaved Generation in Open-domain Question Answering
Rongyang Zhang, Yuqing Huang, Chengqiang Lu +8
In real-world scenarios, providing user queries with visually enhanced responses can considerably benefit understanding and memory, underscoring the great value of interleaved imag…
DecEx-RAG: Boosting Agentic Retrieval-Augmented Generation with Decision and Execution Optimization via Process Supervision
