DeltaEvolve: Accelerating Scientific Discovery through Momentum-Driven Evolution
Jiachen Jiang, Tianyu Ding, Zhihui Zhu
LLM-driven evolutionary systems have shown promise for automated science discovery, yet existing approaches such as AlphaEvolve rely on full-code histories that are context-ineffic…
AppSelectBench: Application-Level Tool Selection Benchmark
Tianyi Chen, Michael Solodko, Sen Wang +14
Computer Using Agents (CUAs) are increasingly equipped with external tools, enabling them to perform complex and realistic tasks. For CUAs to operate effectively, application selec…
DistiLLM-2: A Contrastive Approach Boosts the Distillation of LLMs
Jongwoo Ko, Tianyi Chen, Sungnyun Kim +4
Despite the success of distillation in large language models (LLMs), most prior work applies identical loss functions to both teacher- and student-generated data. These strategies…
ProCrop: Learning Aesthetic Image Cropping from Professional Compositions
Ke Zhang, Tianyu Ding, Jiachen Jiang +4
Image cropping is crucial for enhancing the visual appeal and narrative impact of photographs, yet existing rule-based and data-driven approaches often lack diversity or require an…
HESSO: Towards Automatic Efficient and User Friendly Any Neural Network Training and Pruning
Tianyi Chen, Xiaoyi Qu, David Aponte +7
Structured pruning is one of the most popular approaches to effectively compress the heavy deep neural networks (DNNs) into compact sub-networks while retaining performance. The ex…
Cat-AIR: Content and Task-Aware All-in-One Image Restoration
Jiachen Jiang, Tianyu Ding, Ke Zhang +5
All-in-one image restoration seeks to recover high-quality images from various types of degradation using a single model, without prior knowledge of the corruption source. However,…
