GameSmith: Scaling Zero-Sum Self-Play with Synthesised Games

Weixian Waylon Li, Jiaxin Zhang, Han Zhou +4

Post-training large language models (LLMs) on two-player zero-sum games provides a verifiable reward, and the gains have been shown to transfer to general reasoning. Existing pipel…

SAVLA: Symmetry-Aware Vision-Language-Action Models for Robotic Manipulation

Junle Li, Weixian Waylon Li, Fuxiang Wu +2

Vision-language-action (VLA) models have become the dominant paradigm for language-conditioned robot manipulation. However, although images and language instructions inherently enc…

Summoning the Oracle to Slay It: Mitigating Look-Ahead Bias in Financial Backtesting with Large Language Models

Weixian Waylon Li, Mengyu Wang, Tiejun Ma

Backtesting large language models (LLMs) on historical financial data is unreliable when their pre-training data include the evaluated events. An LLM trained in 2024 may already en…

Time is Not a Label: Continuous Phase Rotation for Temporal Knowledge Graphs and Agentic Memory

Weixian Waylon Li, Jiaxin Zhang, Xianan Jim Yang +2

Structured memory representations such as knowledge graphs are central to autonomous agents and other long-lived systems. However, most existing approaches model time as discrete m…

Spectral Attention Steering for Prompt Highlighting

Weixian Waylon Li, Yuchen Niu, Yongxin Yang +3

Attention steering is an important technique for controlling model focus, enabling capabilities such as prompt highlighting, where the model prioritises user-specified text. Howeve…

Self-Improving World Modelling with Latent Actions

Yifu Qiu, Zheng Zhao, Waylon Li +4

Internal modelling of the world -- predicting transitions between previous states and next states under actions -- is essential to reasoning and planning for LLMs and V…

TSPRank: Bridging Pairwise and Listwise Methods with a Bilinear Travelling Salesman Model

Weixian Waylon Li, Yftah Ziser, Yifei Xie +2

Traditional Learning-To-Rank (LETOR) approaches, including pairwise methods like RankNet and LambdaMART, often fall short by solely focusing on pairwise comparisons, leading to sub…

BERT is not The Count: Learning to Match Mathematical Statements with Proofs

Weixian Waylon Li, Yftah Ziser, Maximin Coavoux +1

We introduce a task consisting in matching a proof to a given mathematical statement. The task fits well within current research on Mathematical Information Retrieval and, more gen…
