Dense Process Supervision for Search Agents via Fact Utility Estimation

Rongzhi Zhu, Xiangyu Liu, Yi Liu +7

Reinforcement learning (RL) for search agents typically relies on outcome rewards. However, it often fails to achieve effective credit assignment, due to the unclear value of inter…

Polished but Unresolved: Identifying Late-Stage Pressure States in Long-Horizon Tool-Use Agents

Haoyang Chen, Yi Liu, Jianzhi Shao +3

Long-horizon tool-use agents need not only to search and plan, but also to decide when to finalize. We study late-stage pressure states, in which an agent is biased toward submitti…

ActMem: Bridging the Gap Between Memory Retrieval and Reasoning in LLM Agents

Xiaohui Zhang, Zequn Sun, Chengyuan Yang +3

Memory management is essential for LLM agents in long-term interactions. Current memory frameworks typically treat agents as passive ``recorders'' and retrieve information without…

Answering the Unanswerable Is to Err Knowingly: Analyzing and Mitigating Abstention Failures in Large Reasoning Models

Yi Liu, Xiangyu Liu, Zequn Sun +1

Large reasoning models (LRMs) have shown remarkable progress on complex reasoning tasks. However, some questions posed to LRMs are inherently unanswerable, such as math problems la…

When Can Large Reasoning Models Save Thinking? Mechanistic Analysis of Behavioral Divergence in Reasoning

Rongzhi Zhu, Yi Liu, Jiancheng Wang +6

Large reasoning models (LRMs) have achieved remarkable success on complex tasks, yet their tendency to "overthink" leads to inefficiencies. Although "save-thinking" prompts are int…

Mitigating Lost-in-Retrieval Problems in Retrieval Augmented Multi-Hop Question Answering

Rongzhi Zhu, Xiangyu Liu, Zequn Sun +2

In this paper, we identify a critical problem, "lost-in-retrieval", in retrieval-augmented multi-hop question answering (QA): the key entities are missed in LLMs' sub-question deco…

Finetuning Generative Large Language Models with Discrimination Instructions for Knowledge Graph Completion

Yang Liu, Xiaobin Tian, Zequn Sun +1

Traditional knowledge graph (KG) completion models learn embeddings to predict missing facts. Recent works attempt to complete KGs in a text-generation manner with large language m…

KnowLA: Enhancing Parameter-efficient Finetuning with Knowledgeable Adaptation

Xindi Luo, Zequn Sun, Jing Zhao +2

Parameter-efficient finetuning (PEFT) is a key technique for adapting large language models (LLMs) to downstream tasks. In this paper, we study leveraging knowledge graph embedding…

Generating Explanations to Understand and Repair Embedding-based Entity Alignment

Xiaobin Tian, Zequn Sun, Wei Hu

Entity alignment (EA) seeks identical entities in different knowledge graphs, which is a long-standing task in the database research. Recent work leverages deep learning to embed e…
