CHORUS: Complementary Experts for High-Coverage Testbench Stimulus Generation

Large language models (LLMs) have advanced code generation, where executable feedback provides a more reliable learning signal than textual imitation alone. Hardware verification is an important application of code generation and accounts for a substantial fraction of modern chip design effort, with high-coverage testbench stimulus generation as a key task.

Perception Before Supervision: Self-Contained Visual Distillation from Counterfactual Blind Spots

Self-improvement for multimodal large language models (MLLMs) is typically driven by reward-based methods that provide only coarse scalar feedback. Distillation offers a richer alternative through dense token-level supervision, but in the visual domain it usually depends on privileged context constructed using external annotations and tools, or stronger models.

DistMoE: Private-data Rehearsal-free Routing in Mixture-of-Experts for Distributed Instruction Tuning

Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) have shown strong multimodal instruction-following ability, but adapting them to diverse visual-language domains typically assumes centralized data access and costly joint training. This is restrictive when data is distributed across private, domain-specific, or permission-limited clients.

Consilience for Verifier-Free Test-Time Scaling

Test-time scaling often uses an external verifier, such as compilers and test cases in coding or trained value functions in robotics applications, to obtain high-quality rollouts. Verifier-free test-time scaling (or VF-TTS) is gaining extensive attention as a mechanism to enhance Large Language Model (LLM) reasoning, primarily because we do not have access to such high-quality verifiers in many real-world applications.

How Do Large Language Models Judge Social Attraction? Evidence from Theory-Grounded Persona Ratings Across Multiple LLMs and Humans

Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly used to perform subjective evaluations traditionally made by humans, yet their validity as social judges remains unclear. This paper examines whether LLMs can assess social attraction from theory-grounded persona profiles constructed from ten psychological and relational constructs and organized into three tiers: socially attractive, socially mixed, and socially unattractive.

Model Discovery Agent: LLM-assisted Bayesian experiment design for data-efficient discovery of mechanistic world models

Predicting the answer to interventional ``what if'' questions --- the outcome of an action never taken --- requires a \emph{mechanistic}, causal model, not a curve fit; and learning such a model requires \emph{experiments}, because passive data leaves its mechanisms unidentified. Experiments are expensive, so the central problem is \emph{data efficiency}.

GeoRoute: Geometry-Aware Hybrid Inference for Traffic Future-Frame Prediction

Long-horizon future-frame prediction is important for autonomous driving, traffic surveillance, and intelligent transportation systems, yet remains challenging due to temporal ghosting, geometry drift, and inconsistent object motion. Recent latent video diffusion models have achieved impressive visual quality, but directly applying them to structured traffic scenes often leads to unstable geometry and degraded temporal coherence over extended horizons.

Listen, See and Track: Spatio-Temporal Audio-Visual Sound Event Reasoning for Omni-Modal Language Models

Understanding dynamic sound sources requires jointly determining what produces a sound, where the source is located, and how it moves over time. Yet existing audio-language models often represent clips as global acoustic events, while vision-language models lack the spatial audio cues needed to localize and track individual sources.

Beyond the Capability Boundary: Zeroth-Order Optimization for Self-Evolving LLM Agents

Self-evolving methods improve the capabilities of LLM agents by sampling trajectories from the underlying LLMs and learning from these trajectories. However, these methods struggle to learn beyond the inherent capability boundary of the agents, since the agents cannot sample correct trajectories on difficult examples for further improvements.

MoRSE: Task-Oriented Multi-Agent System with Mixture of Role-Subtask Experts

Large language model-based multi-agent systems have recently shown strong potential for complex, long-horizon tasks. However, existing methods mainly rely on coarse prompt-level differentiation without parameter adaptation for diverse subtasks, resulting in insufficient inter-agent heterogeneity and limited specialized capability that bottleneck performance on tasks with complex requirements.

Emotion2Skill: Model-Internal Emotion Signals for Adaptive Skill Selection and Evolution

Skill-based LLM agents select reusable procedures from an external library to solve complex tasks, yet their routing decisions rely entirely on text-level signals such as task descriptions, verbal reflections, and experience-derived rules, while the model's own internal representational state remains unobserved. Recent interpretability work has shown that LLMs maintain linear emotion representations that causally influence behavior; however, these representations have been exploited only for post-hoc analysis or direct output steering, and have not been used to inform agent-level decision-making.
