FrugalEvo: Towards Cost-Aware LLM-Guided Program Evolution

Hui Chen, Xuan Qi, James Xu Zhao +5

LLM-guided evolutionary methods, such as AlphaEvolve, have emerged as powerful approaches for challenging computational optimization problems, such as circle packing. However, prio…

Gacha Decoding: Eliciting Diverse Generations Through Instruction Following

Scott Geng, Yufei Zhang, Joseph Lee +3

We introduce Gacha Decoding, an inference-time method for eliciting diverse language model generations that scales with model capability. Across open-ended domains (in-the-wild cha…

Context Language Models

Rulin Shao, Shannon Zejiang Shen, Junjie Oscar Yin +10

We introduce Context Language Models (CLMs), language models that natively manage their own context. We implement this by treating the context as a file and allowing the model to m…

Efficient Test-Time Adaptation through Human-AI Interaction

Zora Zhiruo Wang, Apurva Gandhi, Rulin Shao +22

AI agents are trained on population-scale data to encode broad capabilities spanning those of many practitioners. Yet the artifacts they produce rarely meet the personal bar profes…

EvoLM: Self-Evolving Language Models through Co-Evolved Discriminative Rubrics

Shuyue Stella Li, Rui Xin, Teng Xiao +8

Language models encode substantial evaluative knowledge from pretraining, yet current post-training methods rely on external supervision (human annotations, proprietary models, or…

Cold-Start Personalization via Training-Free Priors from Structured World Models

Avinandan Bose, Shuyue Stella Li, Faeze Brahman +6

Cold-start personalization requires inferring user preferences through interaction when no user-specific historical data is available. The core challenge is a routing problem: each…

Self-Improving VLM Judges Without Human Annotations

Inna Wanyin Lin, Yushi Hu, Shuyue Stella Li +5

Effective judges of Vision-Language Models (VLMs) are crucial for model development. Current methods for training VLM judges mainly rely on large-scale human preference annotations…

RLVE: Scaling Up Reinforcement Learning for Language Models with Adaptive Verifiable Environments

Zhiyuan Zeng, Hamish Ivison, Yiping Wang +14

We introduce Reinforcement Learning (RL) with Adaptive Verifiable Environments (RLVE), an approach using verifiable environments that procedurally generate problems and provide alg…

PrefDisco: Benchmarking Proactive Personalized Reasoning

Shuyue Stella Li, Avinandan Bose, Faeze Brahman +4

Current large language model (LLM) development treats task-solving and preference-alignment as separate challenges, optimizing first for objective correctness, then for alignment t…

Spurious Rewards: Rethinking Training Signals in RLVR

Rulin Shao, Shuyue Stella Li, Rui Xin +11

We show that reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR) can elicit strong mathematical reasoning in certain language models even with spurious rewards that have little,…

Exploring How Generative MLLMs Perceive More Than CLIP with the Same Vision Encoder

Siting Li, Pang Wei Koh, Simon Shaolei Du

Recent research has shown that CLIP models struggle with visual reasoning tasks that require grounding compositionality, understanding spatial relationships, or capturing fine-grai…
