Critical-State RL: Diagnosing Trainable States for Multi-Turn Tool Use
Zixiang Chen, Wenting Zhao, Zhepeng Cen +9
Multi-turn tool-use failures can hinge on a single model call, yet reward variation alone does not reveal which call would benefit from training. When rewards depend on later inter…
Random Attention: Rethinking KV Cache Eviction for Efficient Reasoning
Heng Wang, Jielin Qiu, Wenting Zhao +8
Large language models achieve superior performance on tasks that require extended reasoning, but long chains of thought make the KV cache a severe memory bottleneck. Existing KV ca…
AI4AI at Test-Time: Strong-to-Weak Capability Transfer via Harnesses
Cheng Qian, Wenting Zhao, Liangwei Yang +6
Recent work on distillation transfers the capabilities of large models to smaller ones often by updating the latter's parameters, through teacher forcing, on-policy distillation, a…
BehaviorBench: Modeling Real-World User Decisions from Behavioral Traces
Liangwei Yang, Jielin Qiu, Zixiang Chen +9
Many decision-support settings require systems that adapt to individual users, but evaluation data for this problem remain limited. Existing benchmarks for user understanding often…
Whisper-AuT: Domain-Adapted Audio Encoder for Efficient Audio-LLM Training
Jielin Qiu, Ming Zhu, Wenting Zhao +11
Audio-native large language models (audio-LLMs) commonly use Whisper as their audio encoder. However, Whisper was trained exclusively on speech data, producing weak representations…
RealUserSim: Bridging the Reality Gap in Agent Benchmarking via Grounded User Simulation
Ming Zhu, Juntao Tan, Rithesh Murthy +6
LLM-based user simulation is the primary mechanism for end-to-end agent evaluation, yet simulated users are poor proxies for real humans: unconstrained LLM defaults produce a Forma…
Enterprise Sales Copilot: Enabling Real-Time AI Support with Automatic Information Retrieval in Live Sales Calls
Jielin Qiu, Liangwei Yang, Ming Zhu +11
During live sales calls, customers frequently ask detailed product questions that require representatives to manually search internal databases and CRM systems. This process typica…
Building Enterprise Realtime Voice Agents from Scratch: A Technical Tutorial
Jielin Qiu, Zixiang Chen, Liangwei Yang +11
We present a technical tutorial for building enterprise-grade realtime voice agents from first principles. While end-to-end speech-to-speech models may ultimately provide the best…
Position: Vector Prompt Interfaces Should Be Exposed to Enable Customization of Large Language Models
Liangwei Yang, Shiyu Wang, Haolin Chen +12
As large language models (LLMs) transition from research prototypes to real-world systems, customization has emerged as a central bottleneck. While text prompts can already customi…
VoiceAgentRAG: Solving the RAG Latency Bottleneck in Real-Time Voice Agents Using Dual-Agent Architectures
Jielin Qiu, Jianguo Zhang, Zixiang Chen +12
We present VoiceAgentRAG, an open-source dual-agent memory router that decouples retrieval from response generation. A background Slow Thinker agent continuously monitors the conve…
AudioCapBench: Quick Evaluation on Audio Captioning across Sound, Music, and Speech
Jielin Qiu, Jianguo Zhang, Zixiang Chen +13
We introduce AudioCapBench, a benchmark for evaluating audio captioning capabilities of large multimodal models. \method covers three distinct audio domains, including environmenta…
Prompt Optimization Via Diffusion Language Models
Shiyu Wang, Haolin Chen, Liangwei Yang +8
We propose a diffusion-based framework for prompt optimization that leverages Diffusion Language Models (DLMs) to iteratively refine system prompts through masked denoising. By con…
LoCoBench-Agent: An Interactive Benchmark for LLM Agents in Long-Context Software Engineering
Jielin Qiu, Zuxin Liu, Zhiwei Liu +18
As large language models (LLMs) evolve into sophisticated autonomous agents capable of complex software development tasks, evaluating their real-world capabilities becomes critical…
GeoGNN: Quantifying and Mitigating Semantic Drift in Text-Attributed Graphs
Liangwei Yang, Jing Ma, Jianguo Zhang +11
Graph neural networks (GNNs) on text--attributed graphs (TAGs) typically encode node texts using pretrained language models (PLMs) and propagate these embeddings through linear nei…
