LLM Agents Enable User-Governed Personalization Beyond Platform Boundaries
Jiacheng Lin, Kun Qian, Arvind Srinivasan +15
Personalization today is fundamentally platform-centric: services build user representations from the behavioral fragments they observe. Yet no platform can construct a complete pi…
Agentic Conversational Search with Contextualized Reasoning via Reinforcement Learning
Fengran Mo, Yifan Gao, Sha Li +7
Large Language Models (LLMs) have become a popular interface for human-AI interaction, supporting information seeking and task assistance through natural, multi-turn dialogue. To r…
SynPlanResearch-R1: Encouraging Tool Exploration for Deep Research with Synthetic Plans
Hansi Zeng, Zoey Li, Yifan Gao +7
Research Agents enable models to gather information from the web using tools to answer user queries, requiring them to dynamically interleave internal reasoning with tool use. Whil…
SFT Doesn't Always Hurt General Capabilities: Revisiting Domain-Specific Fine-Tuning in LLMs
Jiacheng Lin, Zhongruo Wang, Kun Qian +14
Supervised Fine-Tuning (SFT) on domain-specific datasets is a common approach to adapt Large Language Models (LLMs) to specialized tasks but is often believed to degrade their gene…
