QAM: Quadratic-Accurate Checkpoint Merging via Sequential Consistency
Shihao Wang, Rui Kong, Xinran Chen +7
Saved checkpoints record states along a training trajectory, but generally do not determine the updates at states that would be visited under a different schedule. We study how acc…
SCOPE-RL: Optimizing Reasoning Paths Before and After Success
Xiaojian Liu, Han Xu, Jianqiang Xia +6
Reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR) optimizes LLMs using sparse verifiable final-answer rewards. This sparse anchor reliably verifies whether a trajectory succeed…
STAMP: Provenance-Guided Credit Assignment for Deep Search Agents
Ke Xu, Han Xu, Xinran Chen +6
Reinforcement learning for deep-search agents has largely focused on trajectory-level scoring -- outcome correctness, citation-aware rewards, and evidence coverage. Yet the actions…
Measuring Maximum Activations in Open Large Language Models
Luxuan Chen, Han Tian, Xinran Chen +9
The dynamic range of activations is a first-order constraint for low-bit quantization, activation scaling, and stable LLM inference. Prior work characterized outlier features and m…
Joint Agent Memory and Exploration Learning via Novelty Signals
Shizuo Tian, Xiaohong Weng, Rui Kong +9
In open-ended environments, exploration is fundamental for autonomous agents, yet current language model agents struggle with this. Effective exploration requires memory, but retai…
AdaFuse: Accelerating Dynamic Adapter Inference via Token-Level Pre-Gating and Fused Kernel Optimization
Qiyang Li, Rui Kong, Yuchen Li +5
The integration of dynamic, sparse structures like Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) with parameter-efficient adapters (e.g., LoRA) is a powerful technique for enhancing Large Language Mode…
Not All Preferences Deserve Gradients: Understanding Gradient Utility in Offline Reasoning Alignment
Hui Wu, Hengyi Cai, Jinman Zhao +6
Offline preference optimization aligns reasoning models from fixed chosen--rejected pairs, yet standard methods apply gradient updates from every pair regardless of its training va…
Agentic-R: Learning to Retrieve for Agentic Search
Wenhan Liu, Xinyu Ma, Yutao Zhu +4
Agentic search has recently emerged as a powerful paradigm, where an agent interleaves multi-step reasoning with on-demand retrieval to solve complex questions. Despite its success…
Adversarial Yet Cooperative: Multi-Perspective Reasoning in Retrieved-Augmented Language Models
Can Xu, Lingyong Yan, Jiayi Wu +6
Recent advances in synergizing large reasoning models (LRMs) with retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) have shown promising results, yet two critical challenges remain: (1) reasoni…
Efficient Thought Space Exploration Through Strategic Intervention
Ziheng Li, Hengyi Cai, Xiaochi Wei +4
While large language models (LLMs) demonstrate emerging reasoning capabilities, current inference-time expansion methods incur prohibitive computational costs by exhaustive samplin…
Grounding Long-Context Reasoning with Contextual Normalization for Retrieval-Augmented Generation
Jiamin Chen, Yuchen Li, Xinyu Ma +5
Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) has become an essential approach for extending the reasoning and knowledge capacity of large language models (LLMs). While prior research has p…
ReasonRank: Empowering Passage Ranking with Strong Reasoning Ability
Wenhan Liu, Xinyu Ma, Weiwei Sun +4
Large Language Model (LLM) based listwise ranking has shown superior performance in many passage ranking tasks. With the development of Large Reasoning Models (LRMs), many studies…
VPN: Visual Prompt Navigation
Shuo Feng, Zihan Wang, Yuchen Li +6
While natural language is commonly used to guide embodied agents, the inherent ambiguity and verbosity of language often hinder the effectiveness of language-guided navigation in c…
