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…

Branching Policy Optimization: Sandbox-Native Language Agent Reinforcement Learning

Bowei He, Yankai Chen, Xiaokun Zhang +1

The paper proposes Branching Policy Optimization (BPO), a reinforcement learning method for large language model agents operating in deterministic, snapshottable sandboxes, which l…

LLM-as-a-Judge for Reliable and Explainable Offline Evaluation in Top-K Recommendation

Yue Que, Junyi Zhou, Xiaokun Zhang +3

Recommendation evaluation plays a crucial role in guiding the refinement and deployment of recommender systems. Most existing trials rely on offline evaluation using Top-K metrics…

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…

DirectorBench: Diagnosing Long-Form Video Generation with Personalized Multi-Agent Evaluation

Jiamin Chen, Qianben Chen, Jiawen Zhang +5

Long-form video generation is rapidly moving from short, single-scene synthesis toward minute-long, multi-shot creation with narrative structure, cinematic control, audio, and cros…

Looking Farther with Confidence: Uncertainty-Guided Future Learning for Sequential Recommendation

Ziqiang Cui, Xing Tang, Peiyang Liu +4

Sequential recommendation effectively models dynamic user interests but continues to face challenges related to data sparsity. While self-supervised learning has alleviated this is…
