MatrAIx: Simulating the World with 8.3 Billion Persona Agents
Xiaomin Li, Yuexing Hao, Jianheng Hou +90
Human evaluation of AI systems and digital products is costly, slow, and difficult to scale. Offline evaluations are more scalable but often abstract away human diversity and inter…
Grounded Chess Reasoning in Language Models via Master Distillation
Zhenwei Tang, Qianfeng Wen, Seth Grief-Albert +4
Language models often lack grounded reasoning capabilities in specialized domains where training data is scarce but bespoke systems excel. We introduce a general framework for dist…
SafeGEO: Understanding Generative Engine Optimization Risks in Recommendation Agents
Qianfeng Wen, Yifan Simon Liu, Xin Liu +4
Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) lets content owners rewrite web content to increase their visibility in generative systems. In recommendation agents, this creates a risk that…
Bayesian Active Learning with Gaussian Processes Guided by LLM Relevance Scoring for Dense Passage Retrieval
Junyoung Kim, Anton Korikov, Jiazhou Liang +5
While Large Language Models (LLMs) exhibit exceptional zero-shot relevance modeling, their high computational cost necessitates framing passage retrieval as a budget-constrained gl…
ThinkTwice: Jointly Optimizing Large Language Models for Reasoning and Self-Refinement
Difan Jiao, Qianfeng Wen, Blair Yang +2
We introduce ThinkTwice, a simple two-phase framework that jointly optimizes LLMs to solve reasoning problems and refine the answers, based on Group Relative Policy Optimization (G…
Multimodal Item Scoring for Natural Language Recommendation via Gaussian Process Regression with LLM Relevance Judgments
Yifan Liu, Qianfeng Wen, Jiazhou Liang +6
Natural Language Recommendation (NLRec) generates item suggestions based on the relevance between user-issued NL requests and NL item description passages. Existing NLRec approache…
