Why Thinking Hurts: Diagnosing and Rectifying Linguistic Inertia in Large Language Models for Recommendation
Luankang Zhang, Yonghao Huang, Hang Lv +6
Chain-of-Thought (CoT) reasoning is widely used to improve LLM performance, and recent foundation recommender models adopt it by generating textual reasoning before predicting targ…
Rethinking the Necessity of Adaptive Retrieval-Augmented Generation through the Lens of Adaptive Listwise Ranking
Jun Feng, Jiahui Tang, Zhicheng He +5
Adaptive Retrieval-Augmented Generation aims to mitigate the interference of extraneous noise by dynamically determining the necessity of retrieving supplementary passages. However…
IE as Cache: Information Extraction Enhanced Agentic Reasoning
Hang Lv, Sheng Liang, Hongchao Gu +5
Information Extraction aims to distill structured, decision-relevant information from unstructured text, serving as a foundation for downstream understanding and reasoning. However…
Learning from Emptiness: De-biasing Listwise Rerankers with Content-Agnostic Probability Calibration
Hang Lv, Hongchao Gu, Ruiqing Yang +5
Generative listwise reranking leverages global context for superior retrieval but is plagued by intrinsic position bias, where models exhibit structural sensitivity to input order…
SPARD: Self-Paced Curriculum for RL Alignment via Integrating Reward Dynamics and Data Utility
Xuyang Zhi, Peilun zhou, Chengqiang Lu +10
The evolution of Large Language Models (LLMs) is shifting the focus from single, verifiable tasks toward complex, open-ended real-world scenarios, imposing significant challenges o…
SpecSteer: Synergizing Local Context and Global Reasoning for Efficient Personalized Generation
Hang Lv, Sheng Liang, Hao Wang +6
Realizing personalized intelligence faces a core dilemma: sending user history to centralized large language models raises privacy concerns, while on-device small language models l…
