Do Language Models Need Music Supervision? Verifiable Rewards for Multi-Constraint Symbolic Music Generation

Haoyue Liu, Ye Chen, Zhichao Wang +3

Language models can now generate symbolic music from natural-language instructions. However, existing models still struggle to satisfy multiple explicit musical constraints simulta…

Why Sample What You Can Enumerate? Exact Policy Optimization for Genomic Tool Selection

Haoyue Liu, Xiaoyu Ma, Ye Chen +2

Reinforcement learning over a frozen reasoner has become a common recipe for teaching a policy which external tools to invoke. We show that this recipe becomes structurally mismatc…

SEPO: Evidence-Grounded Prompt Optimization via Structural Editing

Xiaoyu Ma, Haoyue Liu, Yiwen Li +4

Existing API-only prompt optimisers are often described as interpretable, but in practice, this usually means only post-hoc inspectability: each iteration still rewrites the prompt…

Do SpeechLMs Hear Their Own Opinions? Diagnosing and Mitigating Previous-Belief Contamination in Streaming Emotion Understanding

Haoyue Liu, Zhichao Wang, Ye Chen +2

Streaming emotion understanding uses historical state while continuously interpreting current audio, often feeding the model's previous prediction back as context. We show that thi…

Which Negatives Matter? Ask Your Text Encoder: Adaptive Similarity Margins for Dense-Caption Retrieval

Haoyue Liu, Ye Chen, Zhichao Wang +1

Dense-caption retrieval has recently been improved by introducing segmentation, edge maps, LLM-filtered captions, and cross-modal modules into contrastive fine-tuning. However, the…

Are Prompt Optimizers Blind? Cross-Modal Visual Feedback for Automatic Prompt Optimization

Haoyue Liu, Xiaoyu Ma, Ye Chen +2

Automatic prompt optimization (APO) has been widely adopted to adapt vision-language models (VLMs) to downstream tasks without weight updates, yielding promising results. However,…

One Rewrite to Fix Them All? Type-Aware Repair Allocation for Text-to-Image Prompt Optimization

Haoyue Liu, Xiaoyu Ma, Ye Chen +2

Text-to-image (T2I) generators often fail to follow their prompts faithfully, producing wrong counts, swapped attributes, ambiguous relations, and illegible text. Prompt optimizati…

Code Is More Than Text: Uncertainty Estimation for Code Generation

Yuling Shi, Caiqi Zhang, Yuexian Li +4

Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly deployed as code generators, where silently wrong programs pose real safety and reliability risks. Reliable uncertainty estimation (UE…

Reward-Decomposed Reinforcement Learning for Immersive Video Role-Playing

Miao Wang, Yuling Shi, Yijiang Li +8

Text-based role-playing models can imitate character styles, but often fail to capture scene atmosphere and evolving tension, which are crucial for immersive applications such as V…

ClassEval-Pro: A Cross-Domain Benchmark for Class-Level Code Generation

Yeheng Chen, Chaoxiang Xie, Yuling Shi +4

LLMs have achieved strong results on both function-level code synthesis and repository-level code modification, yet a capability that falls between these two extremes -- compositio…

Select Smarter, Not More: Prompt-Aware Evaluation Scheduling with Submodular Guarantees

Xiaoyu Ma, Yiwen Li, Haoyue Liu +4

Automatic prompt optimization (APO) hinges on the quality of its evaluation signal, yet scoring every prompt candidate on the full training set is prohibitively expensive. Existing…

Seeing is Coding: On the Effectiveness of Vision Language Models in Code Understanding

Yuling Shi, Chaoxiang Xie, Zhensu Sun +7

Large Language Models (LLMs) have achieved remarkable success in source code understanding, yet as software systems grow in scale, computational efficiency has become a critical bo…
