GPU-Accelerated OLTP: An In-Depth Analysis of Concurrency Control Schemes
Zihan Sun, Yuyu Luo, Yong Zhang +2
Over the past decade, GPUs have demonstrated significant potential in accelerating Online Analytical Processing (OLAP) operations. However, there remains a substantial gap in their…
Foundation Protocol: A Coordination Layer for Agentic Society
Bang Liu, Yongfeng Gu, Jiayi Zhang +26
Autonomous agents are moving from tools into a layer of social infrastructure: they browse, purchase, deploy software, manage systems, and increasingly interact with one another. A…
Scalable Environments Drive Generalizable Agents
Jiayi Zhang, Fanqi Kong, Guibin Zhang +7
Generalizable agents should adapt to diverse tasks and unseen environments beyond their training distribution. This position paper argues that such generalization requires environm…
Enhancing Table Reasoning with Deterministic Table-State Rewards
Tung Sum Thomas Kwok, Xinyu Wang, Hengzhi He +9
Large Language Models (LLMs) struggle with multi-step reasoning over structured tables. The primary reason is the lack of explicit supervision for intermediate reasoning states. Ex…
Harnessing Agentic Evolution
Jiayi Zhang, Yongfeng Gu, Jianhao Ruan +10
Agentic evolution has emerged as a powerful paradigm for improving programs, workflows, and scientific solutions by iteratively generating candidates, evaluating them, and using fe…
Co-Evolution of Policy and Internal Reward for Language Agents
Xinyu Wang, Hanwei Wu, Jingwei Song +8
Large language model (LLM) agents learn by interacting with environments, but long-horizon training remains fundamentally bottlenecked by sparse and delayed rewards. Existing metho…
