Planning with the Views

Kangrui Wang, Linjie Li, Zhengyuan Yang +7

Can VLMs predict how each camera move changes the view, and plan many such moves ahead? We call this capability view planning, requiring (1)understanding how a single action transf…

Behavior Uncloning: Distilling Mode Redirection into Policy Weights without Inference-Time Steering

Hao Wang, Jiuzhou Lei, Dayou Li +5

Behavior-cloned policies often learn multiple behavior modes from demonstration datasets, including modes that are unsafe or otherwise undesired at deployment. For example, a polic…

BAGEN: Are LLM Agents Budget-Aware?

Yuxiang Lin, Zihan Wang, Mengyang Liu +9

While agents are increasingly spending more resources, today agent cost is mostly measured only after execution. A Budget-Aware Agent (BAGEN) should treat budget as an active contr…

ESI-Bench: Towards Embodied Spatial Intelligence that Closes the Perception-Action Loop

Yining Hong, Jiageng Liu, Han Yin +5

Spatial intelligence unfolds through a perception-action loop: agents act to acquire observations, and reason about how observations vary as a function of action. Rather than passi…

AutoResearch AI: Towards AI-Powered Research Automation for Scientific Discovery

Guiyao Tie, Jiawen Shi, Dingjie Song +20

Scientific research is being reshaped by AI systems that move beyond isolated assistance toward longer-horizon workflows spanning literature grounding, hypothesis generation, exper…

CLORE: Content-Level Optimization for Reasoning Efficiency

Yuyang Wu, Qiyao Xue, Guanxing Lu +4

Reinforcement learning post-training has improved the reasoning ability of large language models, but often produces unnecessarily long, repetitive, or semantically opaque reasonin…

Interactive Evaluation Requires a Design Science

Keyang Xuan, Peiyang Song, Pan Lu +10

AI evaluation is undergoing a structural change. Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly deployed as systems that act over time through tools, environments, users, and other…

RAGEN-2: Reasoning Collapse in Agentic RL

Zihan Wang, Chi Gui, Xing Jin +13

RL training of multi-turn LLM agents is inherently unstable, and reasoning quality directly determines task performance. Entropy is widely used to track reasoning stability. Howeve…

SkillCraft: Can LLM Agents Learn to Use Tools Skillfully?

Shiqi Chen, Jingze Gai, Ruochen Zhou +13

Real-world tool-using agents operate over long-horizon workflows with recurring structure and diverse demands, where effective behavior requires not only invoking atomic tools but…

Your Language Model Secretly Contains Personality Subnetworks

Ruimeng Ye, Zihan Wang, Zinan Ling +4

Humans shift between different personas depending on social context. Large Language Models (LLMs) demonstrate a similar flexibility in adopting different personas and behaviors. Ex…

Theory of Space: Can Foundation Models Construct Spatial Beliefs through Active Exploration?

Pingyue Zhang, Zihan Huang, Yue Wang +11

Spatial embodied intelligence requires agents to act to acquire information under partial observability. While multimodal foundation models excel at passive perception, their capac…

Artificial Entanglement in the Fine-Tuning of Large Language Models

Min Chen, Zihan Wang, Canyu Chen +3

Large language models (LLMs) can be adapted to new tasks using parameter-efficient fine-tuning (PEFT) methods that modify only a small number of trainable parameters, often through…

EMCompress: Video-LLMs with Endomorphic Multimodal Compression

Zheyu Fan, Jiateng Liu, Yuji Zhang +4

Video-LLMs face a fundamental tension in long-video reasoning: static, sparse frame sampling either dilutes evidence across task-irrelevant segments at significant cost or misses f…

Weak-to-Strong Generalization with Failure Trajectories: A Tree-based Approach to Elicit Optimal Policy in Strong Models

Ruimeng Ye, Zihan Wang, Yang Xiao +3

Weak-to-Strong generalization (W2SG) is a new trend to elicit the full capabilities of a strong model with supervision from a weak model. While existing W2SG studies focus on simpl…
