PhoenixNest-Video is an evidence‑grounded multimodal agent designed for automated video interview assessment. It constructs a semantic video graph as working memory, retrieves information conditioned on rubrics across visual, audio, and textual streams, and outputs per‑criterion scores tied to the candidate’s materials. Trained with rubric‑based reinforcement learning, the system achieves 91.50% grade‑level accuracy on VInterview‑2025, outperforming larger proprietary models while providing traceable evidence for each score.

AdaVDR is an adaptive video deep research agent that selects and reflects on tool usage based on the task and the model’s capabilities. It constructs a specialized data pipeline to generate high‑quality QA pairs and uses model‑conditioned filtering to remove unnecessary tool calls. The agent is trained with supervised fine‑tuning and reinforcement learning, achieving top performance on the VDR‑EE benchmark and significant gains on VideoDR.

The paper introduces CuCu, a multi‑agent LLM framework that converts national social studies curricula into open‑ended, culture‑specific question‑answer pairs for fine‑tuning language models. Using the Korean curriculum, the authors build KCaQA, a dataset of 34.1k QA pairs that cover culture‑specific topics and ground responses in local sociocultural contexts. Experiments show that fine‑tuning with KCaQA improves the model’s cultural alignment and relevance to Korean society.

AI University (AI‑U) is a flexible framework that uses a fine‑tuned large language model (LLM) combined with retrieval‑augmented generation (RAG) and a reasoning synthesis model to produce style‑aligned responses from lecture videos, notes, and textbooks. In a graduate‑level finite‑element‑method (FEM) course, the authors created a pipeline to generate course‑grounded training data, fine‑tuned an open‑source LLM with Low‑Rank Adaptation (LoRA), and applied RAG‑based synthesis. Evaluation through cosine similarity, LLM‑based assessment, expert review, and user studies showed that the expert model outperformed the base model in alignment with course materials, with 86 % of test cases scoring higher and human users preferring the expert model roughly twice as often.
whyItMatters":"The study demonstrates a practical method for building course‑specific learning assistants that improve alignment with instructional content, offering a template that can be extended across STEM fields."
