CV-Arena: An Open Benchmark for Instructional Computer Vision Problem Solving with Human-AI Collaborative Preferences
Fangzhou Lin, Peiran Li, Lingyu Xu +12
Instruction-guided image editing is becoming a general interface for visual work, yet existing benchmarks still focus largely on narrow appearance edits and do not fully capture th…
PathCal: State-Aware Reflection-Marker Calibration for Efficient Reasoning
Lingyu Jiang, Zirui Li, Shuo Xing +6
The emergence of Large Reasoning Language Models (LRMs) has paved the way for tackling complex reasoning tasks through test-time scaling by generating long-form Chain-of-Thought (C…
CAPS: Cascaded Adaptive Pairwise Selection for Efficient Parallel Reasoning
Fangzhou Lin, Shuo Xing, Peiran Li +6
Parallel reasoning, where a generator samples many candidate solutions and an aggregator selects the best, is one of the most effective forms of test-time scaling in large language…
LLMs Can Get "Brain Rot": A Pilot Study on Twitter/X
Shuo Xing, Junyuan Hong, Yifan Wang +5
We propose and test the LLM Brain Rot Hypothesis: continual exposure to junk web text induces lasting cognitive decline in large language models (LLMs). To unveil junk effects, we…
Does RLVR Extend Reasoning Boundaries? Investigating Capability Expansion in Vision-Language Models
Minghe Shen, Zhuo Zhi, Chonghan Liu +3
Recent studies posit that Reinforcement Learning with Verifiable Rewards (RLVR) primarily amplifies behaviors inherent to the pre-training distribution rather than inducing new cap…
DecAlign: Hierarchical Cross-Modal Alignment for Decoupled Multimodal Representation Learning
Chengxuan Qian, Shuo Xing, Shawn Li +2
Multimodal representation learning aims to capture both shared and complementary semantic information across multiple modalities. However, the intrinsic heterogeneity of diverse mo…
