HARP: Efficient Data Selection for Finetuning Large Language Models

Ning Wang, Zhengxin Zhang, Maosen Tang +3

Finetuning data selection requires balancing two competing goals: selecting examples that improve the downstream objective, and doing so without repeatedly finetuning models. Train…

How Far Are We From True Auto-Research?

Zhengxin Zhang, Ning Wang, Sainyam Galhotra +1

Recent auto-research systems can produce complete papers, but feasibility is not the same as quality, and the field still lacks a systematic study of how good agent-generated paper…

Pruning Minimal Reasoning Graphs for Efficient Retrieval-Augmented Generation

Ning Wang, Kuanyan Zhu, Daniel Yuehwoon Yee +4

Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) is now standard for knowledge-intensive LLM tasks, but most systems still treat every query as fresh, repeatedly re-retrieving long passages an…

TableGPT-R1: Advancing Tabular Reasoning Through Reinforcement Learning

Saisai Yang, Qingyi Huang, Jing Yuan +13

Tabular data serves as the backbone of modern data analysis and scientific research. While Large Language Models (LLMs) fine-tuned via Supervised Fine-Tuning (SFT) have significant…

QJoin: Transformation-aware Joinable Data Discovery Using Reinforcement Learning

Ning Wang, Sainyam Galhotra

Discovering which tables in large, heterogeneous repositories can be joined and by what transformations is a central challenge in data integration and data discovery. Traditional j…

REAP: Enhancing RAG with Recursive Evaluation and Adaptive Planning for Multi-Hop Question Answering

Yijie Zhu, Haojie Zhou, Wanting Hong +2

Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) has been extensively employed to mitigate hallucinations in large language models (LLMs). However, existing methods for multi-hop reasoning tas…
