AI4AI at Test-Time: Strong-to-Weak Capability Transfer via Harnesses
Cheng Qian, Wenting Zhao, Liangwei Yang +6
Recent work on distillation transfers the capabilities of large models to smaller ones often by updating the latter's parameters, through teacher forcing, on-policy distillation, a…
BehaviorBench: Modeling Real-World User Decisions from Behavioral Traces
Liangwei Yang, Jielin Qiu, Zixiang Chen +9
Many decision-support settings require systems that adapt to individual users, but evaluation data for this problem remain limited. Existing benchmarks for user understanding often…
Whisper-AuT: Domain-Adapted Audio Encoder for Efficient Audio-LLM Training
Jielin Qiu, Ming Zhu, Wenting Zhao +11
Audio-native large language models (audio-LLMs) commonly use Whisper as their audio encoder. However, Whisper was trained exclusively on speech data, producing weak representations…
RealUserSim: Bridging the Reality Gap in Agent Benchmarking via Grounded User Simulation
Ming Zhu, Juntao Tan, Rithesh Murthy +6
LLM-based user simulation is the primary mechanism for end-to-end agent evaluation, yet simulated users are poor proxies for real humans: unconstrained LLM defaults produce a Forma…
Enterprise Sales Copilot: Enabling Real-Time AI Support with Automatic Information Retrieval in Live Sales Calls
Jielin Qiu, Liangwei Yang, Ming Zhu +11
During live sales calls, customers frequently ask detailed product questions that require representatives to manually search internal databases and CRM systems. This process typica…
Building Enterprise Realtime Voice Agents from Scratch: A Technical Tutorial
Jielin Qiu, Zixiang Chen, Liangwei Yang +11
We present a technical tutorial for building enterprise-grade realtime voice agents from first principles. While end-to-end speech-to-speech models may ultimately provide the best…
