ActiveUltraFeedback: Efficient Preference Data Generation using Active Learning

arXiv:2603. 09692v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF) has become the standard for aligning Large Language Models (LLMs), yet its efficacy is bottlenecked by the high cost of acquiring preference data, especially in low-resource and expert domains.

When Drafts Evolve: Speculative Decoding Meets Online Learning

arXiv:2603. 12617v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Speculative decoding has emerged as a widely adopted paradigm for accelerating large language model inference, where a lightweight draft model rapidly generates candidate tokens that are then verified in parallel by a larger target model.

Fully Offline Reinforcement Learning

arXiv:2505. 22442v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Offline RL (ORL) promises safe and sample-efficient deployment but existing methods rely on undocumented online interactions for hyperparameter tuning and lack reliable fully offline estimates of initial online performance.

From Long News to Accurate Forecast: Importance-Aware Fusion and PRM-Guided Reflection for Time Series Forecasting

arXiv:2606. 03097v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Incorporating news into time series forecasting is appealing because news can reveal abrupt exogenous events that historical values alone cannot recover.
