- Embodied Task Planning via Graph-Informed Action Generation with Large Lanaguage Model \ While Large Language Models (LLMs) have demonstrated strong zero-shot reasoning capabilities, their deployment as embodied agents still faces fundamental challenges in long-horizon planning. Unlike open-ended text generation, embodied agen… \ Source • arXiv cs.CL • 16:18
- StepShield: When, Not Whether to Intervene on Rogue Agents \ Existing agent safety benchmarks report binary accuracy, conflating early intervention with post-mortem analysis. A detector that flags a violation at step 8 enables intervention; one that reports it at step 48 provides only forensic value… \ Source • arXiv cs.LG • 19:55
- SiDGen: Structure-informed Diffusion for Generative modeling of Ligands for Proteins \ Designing ligands that are both chemically valid and structurally compatible with protein binding pockets is a key bottleneck in computational drug discovery. Existing approaches either ignore structural context or rely on expensive, memor… \ Source • arXiv cs.LG • 18:59
- A Federated and Parameter-Efficient Framework for Large Language Model Training in Medicine \ Large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated strong performance on medical benchmarks, including question answering and diagnosis. To enable their use in clinical settings, LLMs are typically further adapted through continued pretraining… \ Source • arXiv cs.CL • 19:48
- Enhancing Conversational Agents via Task-Oriented Adversarial Memory Adaptation \ Conversational agents struggle to handle long conversations due to context window limitations. Therefore, memory systems are developed to leverage essential historical information. Existing memory systems typically follow a pipeline of off… \ Source • arXiv cs.CL • 15:42
- Why Attention Patterns Exist: A Unifying Temporal Perspective Analysis \ Attention patterns play a crucial role in both training and inference of large language models (LLMs). Prior works have identified individual patterns such as retrieval heads, sink heads, and diagonal traces, yet these observations remain … \ Source • arXiv cs.CL • 14:40
- TransLaw: A Large-Scale Dataset and Multi-Agent Benchmark Simulating Professional Translation of Hong Kong Case Law \ Hong Kong case law translation presents significant challenges: manual methods suffer from high costs and inconsistent quality, while both traditional machine translation and approaches relying solely on Large Language Models (LLMs) often … \ Source • arXiv cs.CL • 12:39
- More Bang for the Buck: Improving the Inference of Large Language Models at a Fixed Budget using Reset and Discard (ReD) \ The performance of large language models (LLMs) on verifiable tasks is usually measured by pass@k, the probability of answering a question correctly at least once in k trials. At a fixed budget, a more suitable metric is coverage@cost, the… \ Source • arXiv stat.ML • 11:37
- Discovering Hidden Gems in Model Repositories \ Public repositories host millions of fine-tuned models, yet community usage remains disproportionately concentrated on a small number of foundation checkpoints. We investigate whether this concentration reflects efficient market selection … \ Source • arXiv cs.CL • 19:59
- Exploring Reasoning Reward Model for Agents \ Agentic Reinforcement Learning (Agentic RL) has achieved notable success in enabling agents to perform complex reasoning and tool use. However, most methods still relies on sparse outcome-based reward for training. Such feedback fails to d… \ Source • arXiv cs.CL • 19:59
- Think Twice: Branch-and-Rethink Reasoning Reward Model \ Large language models (LLMs) increasingly rely on thinking models that externalize intermediate steps and allocate extra test-time compute, with think-twice strategies showing that a deliberate second pass can elicit stronger reasoning. In… \ Source • arXiv cs.CL • 19:57
- Evaluating Text Creativity across Diverse Domains: A Dataset and Large Language Model Evaluator \ Creativity evaluation remains a challenging frontier for large language models (LLMs). Current evaluations heavily rely on inefficient and costly human judgments, hindering progress in enhancing machine creativity. While automated methods … \ Source • arXiv cs.CL • 19:38
