Masking Stale Observations Helps Search Agents -- Until It Doesn't: A Regime Map and Its Mechanism
Haoxiang Zhang, Qixin Xu, Zhuofeng Li +4
Long-horizon search agents accumulate large amounts of retrieved content across many tool calls, making context-budget efficiency increasingly important. A minimal intervention is…
Think in Strokes, Not Pixels: Process-Driven Image Generation via Interleaved Reasoning
Lei Zhang, Junjiao Tian, Zhipeng Fan +9
Humans paint images incrementally: they plan a global layout, sketch a coarse draft, inspect, and refine details, and most importantly, each step is grounded in the evolving visual…
Imitate Before Detect: Aligning Machine Stylistic Preference for Machine-Revised Text Detection
Jiaqi Chen, Xiaoye Zhu, Tianyang Liu +11
Large Language Models (LLMs) have revolutionized text generation, making detecting machine-generated text increasingly challenging. Although past methods have achieved good perform…
LLaVA-MoD: Making LLaVA Tiny via MoE Knowledge Distillation
Fangxun Shu, Yue Liao, Le Zhuo +14
We introduce LLaVA-MoD, a novel framework designed to enable the efficient training of small-scale Multimodal Language Models (s-MLLM) by distilling knowledge from large-scale MLLM…
