NLPG: Natural-Language Policy Gradients for Self-Evolving Language Agents

Xu Liu, WenZhang Wei, Jun Cao +4

Large language model agents increasingly rely on compound programs for retrieval, tool use, reasoning, and verification, yet their failures often arise from local procedural decisi…

TRACER: Per-Tool Context Retention for LLM Agents via Consequence-Attributed Reinforcement Learning

Ziqi Lin, Ye Wu, Mengying Yang +4

Enterprise data agents answer business queries by chaining many tool calls over multiple reasoning steps, routinely accumulating hundreds of thousands of context tokens per session…

DREAM Technical Report

Bin Zhang, Bowen Zheng, Chao Yi +74

Industrial recommender systems commonly use cascaded retrieval, ranking, and re-ranking pipelines. Although efficient, these pipelines fragment information and objectives across mo…

Objective Shaping with Hard Negatives: Windowed Partial AUC Optimization for RL-based LLM Recommenders

Wentao Shi, Qifan Wang, Chen Chen +7

Reinforcement learning (RL) effectively optimizes Large Language Model (LLM)-based recommenders by contrasting positive and negative items. Empirically, training with beam-search n…

Hallucination Diversity-Aware Active Learning for Text Summarization

Yu Xia, Xu Liu, Tong Yu +5

Large Language Models (LLMs) have shown propensity to generate hallucinated outputs, i.e., texts that are factually incorrect or unsupported. Existing methods for alleviating hallu…

Beyond Chain-of-Thought: A Survey of Chain-of-X Paradigms for LLMs

Yu Xia, Rui Wang, Xu Liu +5

Chain-of-Thought (CoT) has been a widely adopted prompting method, eliciting impressive reasoning abilities of Large Language Models (LLMs). Inspired by the sequential thought stru…
