Med-Banana: Learning Quality-Controlled Medical Image Editing from Success-and-Failure Trajectories

Zhihui Chen, Qingyuan Lei, Kai He +2

Text-guided medical image editing must satisfy the requested pathology while preserving anatomy, modality-specific appearance, and clinical plausibility. However, existing datasets…

SL-BiLEM: Structured Learnable Behavior-in-the-Loop Epidemic Modeling for Forecasting and Policy Evaluation

Haochun Wang, Sendong Zhao, Jingbo Wang +3

Epidemic forecasting faces a fundamental challenge: human behavior dynamically responds to disease spread, creating feedback loops that induce distribution shifts at policy interve…

From Latent Signals to Reflection Behavior: Tracing Meta-Cognitive Activation Trajectory in R1-Style LLMs

Yanrui Du, Yibo Gao, Sendong Zhao +6

R1-style LLMs have attracted growing attention for their capacity for self-reflection, yet the internal mechanisms underlying such behavior remain unclear. To bridge this gap, we a…

S3-CoT: Self-Sampled Succinct Reasoning Enables Efficient Chain-of-Thought LLMs

Yanrui Du, Sendong Zhao, Yibo Gao +9

Large language models (LLMs) equipped with chain-of-thought (CoT) achieve strong performance and offer a window into LLM behavior. However, recent evidence suggests that improvemen…

OptiSet: Unified Optimizing Set Selection and Ranking for Retrieval-Augmented Generation

Yi Jiang, Sendong Zhao, Jianbo Li +4

Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) improves generation quality by incorporating evidence retrieved from large external corpora. However, most existing methods rely on statically…
