What Should SFT Learn? Conditional Information Gain for Generalizable Post-Training

Supervised fine-tuning (SFT) remains a widely used approach for post-training large language models, because fixed demonstrations can directly introduce desired reasoning strategies and behavioral patterns. Yet forcing a model to imitate externally provided trajectories may also interfere with behaviors already support...

The Evidence Anchoring Boundary: Where Visual Interventions Matter and When They Help in Multimodal LLMs

Visual interventions provide a training-free way to reduce hallucinations in multimodal large language models. However, an intervention may have little leverage at some layers and may damage a correct answer even when it changes the output. We investigate where visual interventions retain leverage and when they improve...

MotionCoach: Constructing Multimodal Guidance for Video Professional Motion Editing

Video editing models achieve strong performance in modifying appearance, backgrounds, styles, and motions, empowered by large-scale training data. Beyond general scenarios, professional motions are significant in performance, sports, and martial arts. This paper focuses on professional motion editing, which involves fi...

JoyInside-VLM-Agent: Product-Conditioned Multimodal Policy Learning for Embodied Agents

Embodied agents must translate multimodal observations and user requests into executable actions while adapting to product constraints, changing goals, and execution feedback. We present JoyInside-VLM-Agent, a ReAct-style multimodal agent developed through product-conditioned trajectory construction and staged policy l...

Surfing the Activation Wave: Analyzing the Information and Geometry of LLM Hidden States for Speculative Decoding

Decoder hidden states from different layers of large language models (LLMs) often encode complementary information. However, existing speculative decoding methods typically rely on a small set of target-model layers chosen using fixed, position-based heuristics. Selecting an optimal subset of layers is inherently a com...

Localized Generative Design of Ship Hulls with Diffusion Models and High-Fidelity Assessment

Practical ship design requires localized refinement and performance evaluation. This paper presents a reward-directed diffusion framework for localized hull optimization. Parametric masking during dataset generation restricts geometric changes to selected variables, including the bulbous bow and forebody, while preserv...

Co-Modifying Application Code and Deployment Infrastructure: A Causal Study of AI Agent Pull Requests

Current software engineering agents are evaluated predominantly inside isolated sandboxes against synchronous local tests. However, deploying features in collaborative repositories requires modifying continuous integration (CI/CD) pipelines, containers, and provisioning manifests alongside application logic. Because ag...

When Generative Models Act as Simulators

A simulator summarizes an environment in a state that users can read and change. Generative models learn representations of the world without explicit specification, but offer no built-in way to edit that world's state. We investigate the conditions under which a generative model can act as a simulator through $\textit...

COFFEQA: Counterfactual-Guided Few-Shot Distillation for LLM Question Answering

Knowledge distillation aims to train a smaller student model to mimic a larger teacher model for resource-constrained environments. However, the process of distillation is typically data-intensive and computationally expensive, particularly for generative tasks. Few-shot distillation offers an alternative by transferri...

LeWAM: End-to-End World and Action Modeling with JEPAs

Joint-embedding predictive architectures (JEPAs) learn compact latent world models without pixel reconstruction. Existing JEPA pipelines typically train visual representations and action-conditioned dynamics before adding a control policy or solver. We introduce LeWAM, an end-to-end JEPA for control with: (1) a joint t...

Efficient Audio-Visual Speech Enhancement via Reinforcement Learning-Based Neural Architecture Search

Audio-visual speech enhancement (AVSE) improves speech intelligibility in noisy environments but often relies on computationally expensive models unsuitable for resource-constrained edge devices. This paper introduces a reinforcement learning-driven neural architecture search (RL-NAS) framework to discover compact, eff...

Meta-Reflective Evolution Effectively Improves Production AI Systems

Large Language Model (LLM)-guided evolutionary optimization has successfully improved prompts, programs, and even entire AI systems. Most optimization methods select a candidate from the search frontier, then mutate it in one LLM pass based only on its failures. This focus on the frontier can stall on production AI sys...
