Continual Learning in Transition
Zhiyan Hou, Dan Zhang, Tao Feng +11
Classical continual learning (CL) has primarily focused on enabling models to update and retain knowledge through parameter-centric mechanisms, e.g., training strategies, architect…
On-Policy Distillation with Curriculum Turn-level Guidance for Multi-turn Agents
Gengsheng Li, Mao Zheng, Mingyang Song +8
Multi-turn agents that plan, invoke tools, and interact with environments offer a promising paradigm for solving complex tasks, yet their capabilities typically rely on very large…
Re-evaluating Confidence Remasking in Masked Diffusion Language Models
Stipe Frkovic, Metod Jazbec, Dan Zhang +3
Masked diffusion language models (dLLMs) have recently emerged as a competitive alternative to autoregressive language models, with the promise of faster inference via parallel tok…
TRACE: Trajectory Risk-Aware Compression for Long-Horizon Agent Safety
Zhepei Hong, Lin Wang, Liting Li +5
Long-horizon LLM agents produce safety evidence across long trajectories, where sparse, delayed, and compositional risk signals often escape local moderation. Existing turn-level o…
UFO: A Unified Flow-Oriented Framework for Robust Continual Graph Learning
Danhui Zhang, Zhe Wang, Qing Qing +6
Graph learning research has increasingly shifted toward continual graph learning (CGL), which better reflects real-world scenarios where graphs evolve over time. However, existing…
Rubric-based On-policy Distillation
Junfeng Fang, Zhepei Hong, Mao Zheng +7
On-policy distillation (OPD) is a powerful paradigm for model alignment, yet its reliance on teacher logits restricts its application to white-box scenarios. We contend that struct…
