Hierarchical Credit Assignment for RLVR on Fused Gromov-Wasserstein Geometry

Reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR) has been shown to improve the reasoning capability of large language models (LLMs) across diverse reasoning tasks. However, group-based RLVR methods, such as GRPO, assign a uniform advantage to all tokens within rollouts of the same outcome. While existing works ref...

A Survey of Agentic Reasoning for Large Language Models: Towards Recursively Self-Improving and Collective Agents

This survey synthesizes agentic reasoning methods into a unified roadmap bridging thought and action, and outlines open challenges and future directions, including personalization, long-horizon interaction, world modeling, scalable multi-agent training, and governance for real-world deployment.

One Model, Many Minds: Unlocking Multi-Agent Synergy in a Single Agent via Mixture of Roles

The proposed Mixture of Roles (MoRe), which adaptively composes multiple specializations into a single steering vector for single-turn inference, enables multi-perspective specialization in a single-agent, single-turn inference process.

AdaFuse: Adaptive Ensemble Decoding with Test-Time Scaling for LLMs

AdaFuse is an adaptive ensemble decoding framework that dynamically selects semantically appropriate fusion units during generation that establishes a synergistic interaction between adaptive ensembling and test-time scaling, where ensemble decisions guide targeted exploration, and the resulting diversity in turn stren...

SETA: Scaling Environments for Terminal Agents

This work constructs and releases SETA-Env, the largest open-source verifiable terminal RL dataset to date, containing over 4,500 environments, and demonstrates that SETA- Env provides high-quality training environments for terminal agents and serves as a valuable resource for advancing research on terminal-based agent...

From Inference to Adaptation: A Unified Optimal Transport View of Vision Language Model

This work proposes a principled VLM TTA method called \algname, and theoretically reveals that the InfoNCE loss can be neatly reformulated as a Wasserstein OT formulation, thereby unifying the objectives of the inference and adaptation of VLMs to achieve their mutual benefits.
