From Knowledge to Action: Outcomes of the 2025 Large Language Model (LLM) Hackathon for Applications in Materials Science and Chemistry
Aritra Roy, Kevin Shen, Andrew MacBride +350
Large language models (LLMs) are rapidly changing how researchers in materials science and chemistry discover, organize, and act on scientific knowledge. This paper analyzes a broa…
AcademiClaw: When Students Set Challenges for AI Agents
Junjie Yu, Pengrui Lu, Weiye Si +75
Benchmarks within the OpenClaw ecosystem have thus far evaluated exclusively assistant-level tasks, leaving the academic-level capabilities of OpenClaw largely unexamined. We intro…
Enhancing Judgment Document Generation via Agentic Legal Information Collection and Rubric-Guided Optimization
Weihang Su, Xuanyi Chen, Yueyue Wu +2
Automating the drafting of judgment documents is pivotal to judicial efficiency, yet it remains challenging due to the dual requirements of comprehensive retrieval of legal informa…
On the Role of Preference Variance in Preference Optimization
Jiacheng Guo, Zihao Li, Jiahao Qiu +2
Direct Preference Optimization (DPO) has emerged as an important approach for learning from human preferences in aligning large language models (LLMs). However, collecting human pr…
TreeBoN: Enhancing Inference-Time Alignment with Speculative Tree-Search and Best-of-N Sampling
Jiahao Qiu, Yifu Lu, Yifan Zeng +9
Inference-time alignment enhances the performance of large language models without requiring additional training or fine-tuning but presents challenges due to balancing computation…
Alita: Generalist Agent Enabling Scalable Agentic Reasoning with Minimal Predefinition and Maximal Self-Evolution
Jiahao Qiu, Xuan Qi, Tongcheng Zhang +15
Recent advances in large language models (LLMs) have enabled agents to autonomously perform complex, open-ended tasks. However, many existing frameworks depend heavily on manually…
