• A Survey of Generative Categories and Techniques in Multimodal Generative Models \ Multimodal Generative Models (MGMs) have rapidly evolved beyond text generation, now spanning diverse output modalities including images, music, video, human motion, and 3D objects, by integrating language with other sensory modalities und… \ Source • arXiv cs.CL • 17:26
• Sentence Smith: Controllable Edits for Evaluating Text Embeddings \ Controllable and transparent text generation has been a long-standing goal in NLP. Almost as long-standing is a general idea for addressing this challenge: Parsing text to a symbolic representation, and generating from it. However, earlier… \ Source • arXiv cs.CL • 18:36
• What Drives Cross-lingual Ranking? Retrieval Approaches with Multilingual Language Models \ Cross-lingual information retrieval (CLIR) enables access to multilingual knowledge but remains challenging due to disparities in resources, scripts, and weak cross-lingual semantic alignment in embedding models. Existing pipelines often r… \ Source • arXiv cs.CL • 18:17
• Enhancing Domain-Specific Encoder Models with LLM-Generated Data: How to Leverage Ontologies, and How to Do Without Them \ We investigate the use of LLM-generated data for continual pretraining of encoder models in specialized domains with limited training data, using the scientific domain of invasion biology as a case study. To this end, we leverage domain-sp… \ Source • arXiv cs.CL • 18:17
• AutoEnv: Automated Environments for Measuring Cross-Environment Agent Learning \ Humans naturally adapt to diverse environments by learning underlying rules across worlds with different dynamics, observations, and reward structures. In contrast, existing agents typically demonstrate improvements via self-evolving withi… \ Source • arXiv cs.CL • 17:54
• From Pixels to Posts: Retrieval-Augmented Fashion Captioning and Hashtag Generation \ This paper introduces the retrieval-augmented framework for automatic fashion caption and hashtag generation, combining multi-garment detection, attribute reasoning, and Large Language Model (LLM) prompting. The system aims to produce visu… \ Source • arXiv cs.CL • 15:13
• TRIM: Token Reduction and Inference Modeling for Cost-Effective Language Generation \ The high inference cost of Large Language Models (LLMs) poses challenges, especially for tasks requiring lengthy outputs. However, natural language often contains redundancy, which presents an opportunity for optimization. We have observed… \ Source • arXiv cs.CL • 10:56
• Look It Up: Analysing Internal Web Search Capabilities of Modern LLMs \ Modern large language models integrate web search to provide real-time answers, yet it remains unclear whether they are efficiently calibrated to use search when it is actually needed. We introduce a benchmark evaluating both the necessity… \ Source • arXiv cs.CL • 10:37
• VDC-Agent: When Video Detailed Captioners Evolve Themselves via Agentic Self-Reflection \ We present VDC-Agent, a self-evolving framework for Video Detailed Captioning that requires neither human annotations nor larger teacher models. The agent forms a closed loop of caption generation, principle-guided scoring (score and textu… \ Source • arXiv cs.LG • 19:59
• Cost-Aware Contrastive Routing for LLMs \ We study cost-aware routing for large language models across diverse and dynamic pools of models. Existing approaches often overlook prompt-specific context, rely on expensive model profiling, assume a fixed set of experts, or use ineffici… \ Source • arXiv cs.LG • 19:59
• Efficiency vs. Fidelity: A Comparative Analysis of Diffusion Probabilistic Models and Flow Matching on Low-Resource Hardware \ Denoising Diffusion Probabilistic Models (DDPMs) have established a new state-of-the-art in generative image synthesis, yet their deployment is hindered by significant computational overhead during inference, often requiring up to 1,000 it… \ Source • arXiv cs.LG • 19:19
