OpenSkill: Open-World Self-Evolution for LLM Agents
Zhiling Yan, Dingjie Song, Hanrong Zhang +8
Self-evolving agents requires adaptation after deployment, but existing approaches assume a usable learning loop, such as curated skills, successful trajectories, or verifier signa…
Improving Conversational Recommendation with Contextual Adaptation of External Recommenders and LLM-based Reranking
Chuang Li, Weida Liang, Hengchang Hu +4
We tackle the challenge of integrating large language models (LLMs) with external recommender systems to enhance domain expertise in conversational recommendation (CRS). Current LL…
Strategy Executability in Mathematical Reasoning: Leveraging Human-Model Differences for Effective Guidance
Weida Liang, Yiyou Sun, Shuyuan Nan +3
Example-based guidance is widely used to improve mathematical reasoning at inference time, yet its effectiveness is highly unstable across problems and models-even when the guidanc…
From Harm to Help: Turning Reasoning In-Context Demos into Assets for Reasoning LMs
Haonan Wang, Weida Liang, Zihang Fu +8
Recent reasoning LLMs (RLMs), especially those trained with verifier-based reinforcement learning, often perform worse with few-shot CoT than with direct answering. We revisit this…
PromptArmor: Simple yet Effective Prompt Injection Defenses
Tianneng Shi, Kaijie Zhu, Zhun Wang +13
Despite their potential, recent research has demonstrated that LLM agents are vulnerable to prompt injection attacks, where malicious prompts are injected into the agent's input, c…
