HGMEM: Hypergraph-based Working Memory to Improve Multi-step RAG for Long-Context Complex Relational Modeling
Chulun Zhou, Chunkang Zhang, Guoxin Yu +4
Multi-step retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) has become a widely adopted strategy for enhancing large language models (LLMs) on tasks that demand global comprehension and intens…
ArrowGEV: Grounding Events in Video via Learning the Arrow of Time
Fangxu Yu, Ziyao Lu, Liqiang Niu +2
Grounding events in videos serves as a fundamental capability in video analysis. While Vision Language Models (VLMs) are increasingly employed for this task, existing approaches pr…
UME-R1: Exploring Reasoning-Driven Generative Multimodal Embeddings
Zhibin Lan, Liqiang Niu, Fandong Meng +2
The remarkable success of multimodal large language models (MLLMs) has driven advances in multimodal embeddings, yet existing models remain inherently discriminative, limiting thei…
LLaVE: Large Language and Vision Embedding Models with Hardness-Weighted Contrastive Learning
Zhibin Lan, Liqiang Niu, Fandong Meng +2
Universal multimodal embedding models play a critical role in tasks such as interleaved image-text retrieval, multimodal RAG, and multimodal clustering. However, our empirical resu…
General learned delegation by clones
Darren Li, Meiqi Chen, Chenze Shao +2
Frontier language models improve with additional test-time computation, but serial reasoning or uncoordinated parallel sampling can be compute-inefficient under fixed inference bud…
Think Natively: Unlocking Multilingual Reasoning with Consistency-Enhanced Reinforcement Learning
Xue Zhang, Yunlong Liang, Fandong Meng +5
Large Reasoning Models (LRMs) have achieved remarkable performance on complex reasoning tasks by adopting the ``think-then-answer'' paradigm, which enhances both accuracy and inter…
