Hybrid-Policy Self-Editing for Composable Unstructured Knowledge Editing

Tianci Liu, Zihan Dong, Tianchun Li +8

Large language models (LLMs) achieve remarkable performance across natural language tasks, yet they are trained on static corpora and their knowledge quickly becomes outdated in a…

RIMS: Preference Optimization via Smoothed Multi-pair Aggregation for Small-Scale LLM Retrieval-Augmented Generation

Pei Tian, Zihan Dong, Tianci Liu +2

Small-scale language models (SLMs) are attractive for retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) in resource-constrained settings, but their limited capacity makes them highly sensitive…

On Safety Risks in Experience-Driven Self-Evolving Agents

Weixiang Zhao, Yichen Zhang, Yingshuo Wang +8

Experience-driven self-evolution has emerged as a promising paradigm for improving the autonomy of large language model agents, yet its reliance on self-curated experience introduc…

Alternating Reinforcement Learning for Rubric-Based Reward Modeling in Non-Verifiable LLM Post-Training

Ran Xu, Tianci Liu, Zihan Dong +6

Standard reward models typically predict scalar scores that fail to capture the multifaceted nature of response quality in non-verifiable domains, such as creative writing or open-…

AceSearcher: Bootstrapping Reasoning and Search for LLMs via Reinforced Self-Play

Ran Xu, Yuchen Zhuang, Zihan Dong +7

Search-augmented LLMs often struggle with complex reasoning tasks due to ineffective multi-hop retrieval and limited reasoning ability. We propose AceSearcher, a cooperative self-p…

MPO: An Efficient Post-Processing Framework for Mixing Diverse Preference Alignment

Tianze Wang, Dongnan Gui, Yifan Hu +2

Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF) has shown promise in aligning large language models (LLMs). Yet its reliance on a singular reward model often overlooks the divers…
