Joint Training Is Not Enough: Conditioned Cross-Granularity Training for Multimodal Document Understanding
Chengguang Gan, Yunhao Liang, Hanjun Wei +2
The Mutual Reinforcement Effect (MRE) asks whether a fine, span-level and a coarse, document-level task help each other when one model handles both. We test it in multimodal docume…
Auditing and Decomposing Feedback-Driven Evolution in LLM Test Generation under the Oracle Problem
Yunhao Liang, Chengguang Gan, Ruixuan Ying +3
Execution feedback is often treated as a self-verifying signal for improving LLM-generated tests. However, when generated inputs are executed on a single accepted program and its o…
Security Tests as Executable Specifications for LLM Code Generation: Benefits, Trade-offs, and Coverage Limits
Yunhao Liang, Chengguang Gan, Ruixuan Ying +3
Large language models (LLMs) can generate functionally useful code that remains vulnerable, while security-focused interventions may break intended behavior. We investigate securit…
MAG: A Web-Agent Benchmark and Harness for Multimodal Action and Guide Generation
Chengguang Gan, Hanjun Wei, Yunhao Liang +3
Digital Adoption Platforms (DAPs) are embedded overlays widely used on web systems to guide users through operations inside a page, helping them get started with unfamiliar interfa…
A Learning-Rate-Gated Failure of GRPO in a Small Language and Vision-Language Model Web Agent: A Controlled Null and Its Mechanism
Chengguang Gan, Zhixi Cai, Yunhao Liang +3
Reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards, and Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO) in particular, is now run routinely on a supervised checkpoint in the hope of producin…
AutoPPA: Automated Circuit PPA Optimization via Contrastive Code-based Rule Library Learning
Chongxiao Li, Pengwei Jin, Di Huang +14
Performance, power, and area (PPA) optimization is a fundamental task in RTL design, requiring a precise understanding of circuit functionality and the relationship between circuit…
