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…
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…
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…
