From Context-Aware to Conflict-Aware: Generalizing Contrastive Decoding for Knowledge Conflict in LLMs
Runze Jiang, Taiqiang Wu, Yan Wang +2
When large language models generate from retrieved or augmented contexts, conflicts between external context and parametric priors remain a central reliability bottleneck. Existing…
Training LLM Agents for Spontaneous, Reward-Free Self-Evolution via World Knowledge Exploration
Qifan Zhang, Dongyang Ma, Tianqing Fang +5
Most agents today ``self-evolve'' by following rewards and rules defined by humans. However, this process remains fundamentally dependent on external supervision; without human gui…
The Pensieve Paradigm: Stateful Language Models Mastering Their Own Context
Xiaoyuan Liu, Tian Liang, Dongyang Ma +4
In the world of Harry Potter, when Dumbledore's mind is overburdened, he extracts memories into a Pensieve to be revisited later. In the world of AI, while we possess the Pensieve-…
Free(): Learning to Forget in Malloc-Only Reasoning Models
Yilun Zheng, Dongyang Ma, Tian Liang +5
Reasoning models enhance problem-solving by scaling test-time compute, yet they face a critical paradox: excessive thinking tokens often degrade performance rather than improve it.…
