Optimizing Agentic Reasoning with Retrieval via Synthetic Semantic Information Gain Reward
Senkang Hu, Yong Dai, Yuzhi Zhao +5
Agentic reasoning enables large reasoning models (LRMs) to dynamically acquire external knowledge, but yet optimizing the retrieval process remains challenging due to the lack of d…
Unified Context Evolution for LLM Agents
Zixuan Zhu, Yitong Hu, Yong Dai +4
LLM-based agents can solve multi-step interactive tasks by combining reasoning with environment feedback, yet each episode starts from the same fixed context and any useful strateg…
Skill-Conditioned Gated Self-Distillation for LLM Reasoning
Jiazhen Huang, Xiao Chen, Xiao Luo +3
On-policy self-distillation (SD) improves LLM reasoning by using teacher-side privileged information (PI) to turn sparse verifier outcomes into dense token-level supervision. Exist…
Pelican-Unify 1.0: A Unified Embodied Intelligence Model for Understanding, Reasoning, Imagination and Action
Yi Zhang, Yinda Chen, Che Liu +26
We present Pelican-Unify 1.0, the first embodied foundation model trained according to the principle of unification. Pelican-Unify 1.0 uses a single VLM as a unified understanding…
Self-Induced Outcome Potential: Turn-Level Credit Assignment for Agents without Verifiers
Senkang Hu, Yong Dai, Xudong Han +4
Long-horizon LLM agents depend on intermediate information-gathering turns, yet training feedback is usually observed only at the final answer, because process-level rewards requir…
Distribution-Aligned Decoding for Efficient LLM Task Adaptation
Senkang Hu, Xudong Han, Jinqi Jiang +5
Adapting billion-parameter language models to a downstream task is still costly, even with parameter-efficient fine-tuning (PEFT). We re-cast task adaptation as output-distribution…
