Budget-Aware LLM Discovery via Cost-Calibrated Frontier Utility

Yansen Zhang, Yilu Liu, Tianyu Liu +6

The paper proposes CostAda, a cost‑aware controller that guides large language model‑based discovery by evaluating frontier progress relative to the token cost incurred, enabling m…

SAC-Opt: Semantic Anchors for Iterative Correction in Optimization Modeling

Yansen Zhang, Qingcan Kang, Yujie Chen +5

Large language models (LLMs) have opened new paradigms in optimization modeling by enabling the generation of executable solver code from natural language descriptions. Despite thi…

SEAL: Can Saturated Benchmarks Be Revived by LLM-as-a-Meta-Judge?

Jiamin Chen, Yidi Wu, Qiexiang Wang +6

Widely used language-model benchmarks are increasingly saturated, with frontier systems often receiving near-tied scores that standard metrics cannot resolve. Rather than construct…

Counterfactual Multi-player Bandits for Explainable Recommendation Diversification

Yansen Zhang, Bowei He, Xiaokun Zhang +3

Existing recommender systems tend to prioritize items closely aligned with users' historical interactions, inevitably trapping users in the dilemma of ``filter bubble''. Recent eff…

Shapley Value-driven Data Pruning for Recommender Systems

Yansen Zhang, Xiaokun Zhang, Ziqiang Cui +1

Recommender systems often suffer from noisy interactions like accidental clicks or popularity bias. Existing denoising methods typically identify users' intent in their interaction…
