Safety as a Constraint: Fine-Tuning a LLM Recommender to Explain Itself

The paper presents a method for fine‑tuning a large language model (LLM) recommender to generate personalized, non‑harmful explanations for its recommendations. By training two LLM‑judge reward models and using constrained GRPO, the authors achieve a significant increase in the PASS rate for all three criteria, from 0.649 to 0.956 on their own judges and from 0.677 to 0.931 on an independent judge. The fine‑tuned model maintains its original recommendation performance, demonstrating that LLM‑based recommenders can be adapted to complex tasks without loss of effectiveness.

QUMem: Personalized Memory for Query-Conditioned User-State Inference in LLM Agents

arXiv:2608. 16168v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language model (LLM) agents increasingly use external memory systems to support personalization by drawing on long and evolving interaction histories, in which user preferences may be distributed across time, change with context, and conflict with earlier evidence.

VideoSearch-R1: Iterative Video Retrieval and Reasoning via Soft Query Refinement

arXiv:2607. 00446v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: As video corpora continue to expand in both scale and task complexity, there is increasing demand for approaches that retrieve relevant videos from large-scale corpora (inter-video reasoning) and subsequently perform fine-grained, query-conditioned tasks (intra-video reasoning) within the retrieved content, such as temporal grounding.

QREF: Improving DeepSearch Agents by Aligning Search with Reasoning via Query Refinement and Evidence Filtering

QREF is a plug‑and‑play system that improves DeepSearch agents by refining search queries to match the current reasoning intent and filtering evidence to keep only what is relevant. The Query Refiner rewrites queries for complementary coverage across each search batch, while the Evidence Filter removes distracting retrieval results. Experiments show that QREF boosts DeepSearch performance on four benchmarks, achieving significant Pass@1 gains and dramatically reducing ineffective query batches without changing the agents’ architectures or retraining their reasoning policies.
