Federated Large Language Models: Current Progress and Future Directions
Yuhang Yao, Jianyi Zhang, Junda Wu +11
Large Language Models have achieved impressive performance across diverse applications, yet their training typically depends on centralized data collection, raising serious privacy…
DocArena: Turning Raw Documents into Controllable Training Environments for Document Search Agents
Jiamian Wang, Ruiyi Zhang, Tong Yu +5
Recent methods train search agents via reinforcement learning from (question, answer, evidence) tuples without requiring expert trajectories. The tuples serve as the training envir…
A Survey on LLM-based Conversational User Simulation
Bo Ni, Leyao Wang, Yu Wang +27
User simulation has long played a vital role in computer science due to its potential to support a wide range of applications. Language, as the primary medium of human communicatio…
VipAct: Visual-Perception Enhancement via Specialized VLM Agent Collaboration and Tool-use
Zhehao Zhang, Ryan Rossi, Tong Yu +7
While vision-language models (VLMs) have demonstrated remarkable performance across various tasks combining textual and visual information, they continue to struggle with fine-grai…
Decomposition-Enhanced Training for Post-Hoc Attributions In Language Models
Sriram Balasubramanian, Samyadeep Basu, Koustava Goswami +6
Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly used for long-document question answering, where reliable attribution to sources is critical for trust. Existing post-hoc attribution…
MLLM as a UI Judge: Benchmarking Multimodal LLMs for Predicting Human Perception of User Interfaces
Reuben A. Luera, Ryan Rossi, Franck Dernoncourt +12
In an ideal design pipeline, user interface (UI) design is intertwined with user research to validate decisions, yet studies are often resource-constrained during early exploration…
