Tool use, function calling, orchestration and the protocols that let models act rather than only answer.
Retrieval-augmented and agentic question-answering systems increasingly re-derive the meaning of a corpus at query time. Put plainly, instead of re-deriving what a corpus means on every question, the work is done once when a document arrives and is thereafter merely consulted -- a compiler, not an interpreter, of meaning.
Whole-slide image (WSI) analysis remains computationally challenging due to the extremely large spatial resolution of slides and the sparse distribution of tumour regions. We propose an end-to-end reinforcement learning framework for sequential tumour segmentation directly on WSIs.
Long-horizon embodied tasks require LLM agents to iteratively decompose high-level goals, revise plans in response to environmental feedback, and ground leaf-level subgoals into valid executable actions. Recursive context-management methods such as ReCAP improve planning stability through multi-level task decomposition and parent-node refinement, but still repeatedly invoke the LLM at leaf nodes to ground atomic subtasks into exact valid actions.
Driving video generation models support autonomous-driving development by predicting controllable future scenes for simulation, planning evaluation, and offline data generation. Diffusion-based driving generators repeatedly evaluate large backbones across denoising steps, which limits generation throughput.
LLM agents increasingly answer questions over dynamic raw-document collections, where files may change before preprocessing, and relevant evidence (spans, sections, pages, or tables) is query-dependent. Existing retrieval-augmented approaches pre-materialize evidence via fixed chunking, embeddings, or persistent indexes: effective for lookup, yet costly, stale-prone, and committed to a granularity before the query is known.
