A Token-Level Analysis of Sampled-Token Reverse-KL On-Policy Distillation

On-policy distillation (OPD) supervises a student on its own trajectories with token-level signals from a frozen teacher, yet how a sampled loss allocates updates across tokens remains poorly understood. We analyze the gradient of the per-token K2 estimator of reverse KL with respect to the student logits. The $\ell_1$...

State-Conditioned Visual Evidence Retrieval for Fine-Grained Perception in Document Vision-Language Models

Experiments on document parsing benchmarks show that SCVER improves robustness under reduced input resolution and achieves a better accuracy-efficiency trade-off, demonstrating the effectiveness of on-demand visual evidence retrieval for fine-grained perception.

PACE: Adaptive Budget Allocation for Time-Efficient Embodied Planning

PACE (Planning with Adaptive Cognitive Effort), a framework that enables interleaved reasoning and execution through two key innovations: an Interleaved Think-Act architecture that pipelines cognitive processing with action execution, and a Dynamic Budget Allocator that adapts reasoning token budgets to available execu...

Sci-MMR: Benchmarking Multi-Step Evidence-Grounded Scientific Reasoning in Multimodal Agents

Sci-MMR is introduced, a benchmark for multi-step evidence-grounded scientific reasoning built on structured argument graphs linking scientific claims, citation-grounded knowledge, visual evidence, and supporting regions, and it is found that current answer-centric benchmarks substantially overestimate the evidence-gro...

Uncertainty-Aware Trust Estimation for Multi-LLM Systems via Structured Expert Judgement

This work adapt structured expert judgment from decision theory, using context-aware calibration questions to estimate expert reliability based on the quality of its probabilistic predictions, and employs Cooke-style log weighting, which penalises overconfident incorrect predictions and favours well-calibrated experts.

Prefix-Adaptive Block Diffusion for Efficient Document Recognition

The Prefix-Adaptive Block Diffusion Model (PA-BDM) is proposed, which replaces intra-block bidirectional denoising with causal denoising from prefix to suffix and treats the block size as a maximum candidate range rather than a fixed commitment unit.

CAFE: Self-Improving Search Agents Need Co-Evolving Feedback

CAFE (Coupled Agent--Feedback Evolution), a framework in which a shared-parameter model alternates between search-agent and critic roles, is introduced, suggesting that a self-improving search agent needs feedback that co-evolves with the policy it guides.

AgentGym2: Benchmarking Large Language Model Agents in De-Idealized Real-World Environments

AgentGym2 is presented, a new evaluation framework with task instances grounded in real-world end-to-end working demands that measures agents'ability to execute end-to-end procedures, discover tools via exploration, compose tools for unseen tasks, and remain robust to noisy and underspecified information.
