DeepImageSearch: Benchmarking Multimodal Agents for Context-Aware Image Retrieval in Visual Histories
Chenlong Deng, Mengjie Deng, Junjie Wu +10
Existing multimodal retrieval systems excel at semantic matching but implicitly assume that query-image relevance can be measured in isolation. This paradigm overlooks the rich dep…
PhotoBench: Beyond Visual Matching Towards Personalized Intent-Driven Photo Retrieval
Tianyi Xu, Rong Shan, Junjie Wu +11
Personal photo albums are not merely collections of static images but living, ecological archives defined by temporal continuity, social entanglement, and rich metadata, which make…
Proof-of-Use: Mitigating Tool-Call Hacking in Deep Research Agents
SHengjie Ma, Chenlong Deng, Jiaxin Mao +5
While reinforcement learning (RL) enhances their ability to plan and reason across retrieval steps, we identify a critical failure mode in this setting: Tool-Call Hacking. Unlike e…
Lighter-X: An Efficient and Plug-and-play Strategy for Graph-based Recommendation through Decoupled Propagation
Yanping Zheng, Zhewei Wei, Frank de Hoog +4
Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) have demonstrated remarkable effectiveness in recommendation systems. However, conventional graph-based recommenders, such as LightGCN, require maintai…
