Agentic Multi-Turn Reasoning: A Fairness Approach
Thanh-Dat Truong, Sankalp Pandey, Hugh Churchill +3
Recent advances in Large Language Models (LLMs) have enabled agentic systems capable of solving complex tasks through multi-turn planning, tool use, verification, and memory update…
Similarity Is Not Logic: Factored Inference for Dual-Encoder Vision-Language Models
Sultan Alshehri, Zhantao Yang, Han Zhang +1
Dual-encoder vision-language models (VLMs) expose a similarity interface that enables zero-shot retrieval but fails compositional constraints: queries like "umbrella and no person"…
PACE: Policy-Native Adaptive Decision Timing for Long-Horizon Reasoning
Chen Li, Zhantao Yang, Fangyi Chen +3
Long-horizon reasoning requires deciding not only what actions to take, but how many to execute open-loop before replanning. This number, the execution depth, balances replanning c…
MetaVLA: Unified Meta Co-training For Efficient Embodied Adaption
Chen Li, Zhantao Yang, Han Zhang +4
Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models show promise in embodied reasoning, yet remain far from true generalists-they often require task-specific fine-tuning, incur high compute costs,…
Reward Evolution with Graph-of-Thoughts: A Bi-Level Language Model Framework for Reinforcement Learning
Changwei Yao, Xinzi Liu, Chen Li +1
Designing effective reward functions remains a major challenge in reinforcement learning (RL), often requiring considerable human expertise and iterative refinement. Recent advance…
STELAR-VISION: Self-Topology-Aware Efficient Learning for Aligned Reasoning in Vision
Chen Li, Han Zhang, Zhantao Yang +4
Vision-language models (VLMs) have made significant strides in reasoning, yet they often struggle with complex multimodal tasks and tend to generate overly verbose outputs. A key l…
Hierarchical Knowledge Graph Construction from Images for Scalable E-Commerce
Zhantao Yang, Han Zhang, Fangyi Chen +2
Knowledge Graph (KG) is playing an increasingly important role in various AI systems. For e-commerce, an efficient and low-cost automated knowledge graph construction method is the…
