Inference from tabular data, collections of continuous and categorical variables organized into matrices, is a foundation for modern technology and science. Yet, in contrast to the explosive changes in the rest of AI, the best practice for these predictive tasks has been relatively unchanged and is still primarily based on variations of Gradient Boosted Decision Trees (GBDTs). Very recently, there has been renewed interest in developing state-of-the-art methods for tabular data based on recent developments in neural networks and feature learning methods. In this work, we introduce xRFM, an algorithm that combines feature learning kernel machines with a tree structure to both adapt to the local structure of the data and scale to essentially unlimited amounts of training data. We show that compared to $31$ other methods, including recently introduced tabular foundation models (TabPFN-v2) and GBDTs, xRFM achieves best performance across $100$ regression datasets and is competitive to the best methods across $200$ classification datasets outperforming GBDTs. Additionally, xRFM provides interpretability natively through the Average Gradient Outer Product.

The success of LLMs has sparked interest in various agentic applications. A key hypothesis is that LLMs, leveraging common sense and Chain-of-Thought (CoT) reasoning, can effectively explore and efficiently solve complex domains. However, LLM agents have been found to suffer from sub-optimal exploration and the knowing-doing gap, the inability to effectively act on knowledge present in the model. In this work, we systematically study why LLMs perform sub-optimally in decision-making scenarios. In particular, we closely examine three prevalent failure modes: greediness, frequency bias, and the knowing-doing gap. We propose mitigation of these shortcomings by fine-tuning via Reinforcement Learning (RL) on self-generated CoT rationales. Our experiments across multi-armed bandits, contextual bandits, and Tic-tac-toe demonstrate that RL fine-tuning enhances the decision-making abilities of LLMs by increasing exploration and narrowing the knowing-doing gap. Finally, we study both classic exploration mechanisms, such as $\epsilon$-greedy, and LLM-specific approaches, such as self-correction and self-consistency, to enable more effective fine-tuning of LLMs for decision-making.

Deploying large language models (LLMs) on platforms with insufficient computational resources remains a key challenge. Weight pruning is an efficient model compression technique that can reduce model size without retraining LLMs. However, due to the massive number of parameters, it is infeasible to estimate the importance of weights globally, and most prior studies assign a uniform sparsity ratio across all layers. Recent findings reveal that layers contribute unevenly to LLM performance, making it necessary to investigate Layer-wise importance. Existing Layer-wise sparsity allocation methods, such as OWL and DLP, rely on weight scoring and carefully designed score proxies to estimate Layer-wise importance and sparsity ratios, while enforcing identical sparsity to blocks and projection weights within a layer to avoid performance degradation. In this work, we propose Layer-wise Sparsity Allocation (LSA) for LLM pruning, which quantifies Layer-wise importance by evaluating the minimal linear reconstruction error (LSE) of each transformer layer under the assumption that 50\% of its least important weights are removed. Moreover, our method supports non-uniform sparsity allocation at block- or projection-level granularity within layers, without incurring catastrophic performance degradation. Experimental results demonstrate that LSA maintains high performance at high sparsity levels. At an overall sparsity ratio of 70\%, LSA surpasses state-of-the-art methods across language modeling tasks and seven zero-shot tasks.

Recent advancements in gait recognition have significantly enhanced performance by treating silhouettes as either an unordered set or an ordered sequence. However, both set-based and sequence-based approaches exhibit notable limitations. Specifically, set-based methods tend to overlook short-range temporal context for individual frames, while sequence-based methods struggle to capture long-range temporal dependencies effectively. To address these challenges, we draw inspiration from human identification and propose a new perspective that conceptualizes human gait as a composition of individualized actions. Each action is represented by a series of frames, randomly selected from a continuous segment of the sequence, which we term a snippet. Fundamentally, the collection of snippets for a given sequence enables the incorporation of multi-scale temporal context, facilitating more comprehensive gait feature learning. Moreover, we introduce a non-trivial solution for snippet-based gait recognition, focusing on Snippet Sampling and Snippet Modeling as key components. Extensive experiments on four widely-used gait datasets validate the effectiveness of our proposed approach and, more importantly, highlight the potential of gait snippets. For instance, our method achieves the rank-1 accuracy of 77.5% on Gait3D and 81.7% on GREW using a 2D convolution-based backbone.

Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) has significantly enhanced LLMs by incorporating external information. However, prevailing agentic RAG approaches are constrained by a critical limitation: they treat the retrieval process as a black-box querying operation. This confines agents' actions to query issuing, hindering its ability to tackle complex information-seeking tasks. To address this, we introduce Interact-RAG, a new paradigm that elevates the LLM agent from a passive query issuer into an active manipulator of the retrieval process. We dismantle the black-box with a Corpus Interaction Engine, equipping the agent with a set of action primitives for fine-grained control over information retrieval. To further empower the agent on the entire RAG pipeline, we first develop a reasoning-enhanced workflow, which enables both zero-shot execution and the synthesis of interaction trajectories. We then leverage this synthetic data to train a fully autonomous end-to-end agent via Supervised Fine-Tuning (SFT), followed by refinement with Reinforcement Learning (RL). Extensive experiments across six benchmarks demonstrate that Interact-RAG significantly outperforms other advanced methods, validating the efficacy of our reasoning-interaction strategy.

Reinforcement learning (RL) has emerged as a powerful post-training paradigm for large language models (LLMs), yet its effectiveness varies significantly across base models. While incorporating a pre-RL supervised fine-tuning (SFT) phase can enhance RL training, key questions remain: how long should the SFT cold-start phase last, and is the SFT objective truly aligned with the requirements for effective RL preparation? In our analysis of cold-start dynamics, we uncover a key limitation: the SFT checkpoint with the highest evaluation performance often fails to maximize RL potential due to distributional forgetting—a phenomenon where the model drifts excessively away from the base model’s distribution even before traditional overfitting occurs. We identify diversity metrics, such as the entropy and self-BLEU, as more reliable early-stopping criteria than the standard performance-based checkpoint selection. Our findings show that SFT checkpoints with peak diversity consistently lead to superior post-RL results. Building on these insights, we introduce Adaptive Early-Stop Loss (AESL), a lightweight and dynamic cold-start method that balances the acquisition of new patterns with the preservation of the base model's distribution. AESL operates at both the token and subsequence levels, providing finer-grained control over the cold-start process. Experimental results on mathematical reasoning benchmarks demonstrate that diversity-based early stopping surpasses traditional performance-based SFT, while AESL further enhances RL preparation. By steering LLMs toward better initialization points for RL, AESL consistently achieves superior final performance compared to existing SFT and cold-start strategies. The code is publicly available at \url{https://github.com/LXXXXR/AESL}.

Molecular understanding is central to advancing areas such as scientific and drug discovery, yet Large Language Models (LLMs) struggle to understand molecular graphs effectively. Existing graph–LLM bridges often adapt the Q-Former-style connector with fixed-length static tokens, which is originally designed for vision tasks. These designs overlook stereochemistry and substructural context and typically require costly LLM-backbone fine-tuning, limiting efficiency and generalization. We introduce **EDT-Former**, an **E**ntropy-guided **D**ynamic **T**oken Trans**former** that generates tokens aligned with informative molecular patches, thereby preserving both local and global structural features for molecular graph understanding. Beyond prior approaches, EDT-Former enables alignment between frozen graph encoders and LLMs without tuning the LLM backbone (excluding the embedding layer), resulting in computationally efficient finetuning, and achieves state-of-the-art results on MoleculeQA, Mol-Instructions, and property prediction benchmarks (TDC, MoleculeNet), underscoring its effectiveness for scalable and generalizable multimodal molecular understanding.

Reinforcement learning (RL) is widely used to post-train large language models for tasks such as mathematical reasoning and coding. However, the convergence of RL training remains sensitive to batching and prompt selection strategies. We investigate the factors that affect convergence, including batch size and prompt difficulty. Through large-scale experiments across multiple models and datasets, we show that there exists an optimal batch size that balances generation time and gradient quality, and that prompts of intermediate difficulty (where the model has roughly a 50\% chance of success) are the most sample-efficient for model convergence. Motivated by these findings, we propose Prompt Curriculum Learning (PCL), a lightweight algorithm that selects intermediate-difficulty prompts using a learned value model. PCL avoids costly rollouts and efficiently guides training by focusing on the most informative samples. Empirically, PCL either achieves the highest performance or requires significantly less training time to reach comparable performance across a suite of benchmarks. Compared to using rollouts to filter, PCL is $12.1\times$ and $16.9\times$ faster on identifying intermediate-difficulty prompts when training on MATH and DeepScaleR respectively.

Parameter-efficient Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) architectures, such as LoRA-MoE, enable strong and generalizable fine-tuning. However, a critical problem arises when fine-tuning these architectures with advanced reinforcement learning algorithms such as Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO). Traditional supervised techniques are not naturally compatible with the GRPO objective, and naive combinations fail to effectively address routing collapse and the underutilization of MoE adapter parameters. To resolve this disconnect, we introduce Routing-Optimized Group Relative Policy Optimization (RO-GRPO), a mechanism-aware framework. It turns internal expert routing statistics collected during training into a direct reward signal, seamlessly integrating routing supervision into the reinforcement fine-tuning (RFT) process. This enables effective optimization of parameter utilization and improves performance on both unimodal and multimodal mathematical reasoning tasks, all without extra training stages. Our work provides the first demonstration that a scalar reward in GRPO can be engineered from a model's own internal mechanics to explicitly guide its optimization, extending alignment from mere behavior tuning to holistic mechanism alignment.

The quadratic compute and memory costs of global self-attention severely limit its use in high-resolution images. Local attention reduces complexity by restricting attention to neighborhoods. Block-sparse kernels can further improve the efficiency of local attention, but conventional local attention patterns often fail to deliver significant speedups because tokens within a window are not contiguous in the 1D sequence. This work proposes a novel method for constructing windows and neighborhoods based on the Hilbert curve. Image tokens are first reordered along a Hilbert curve, and windows and neighborhoods are then formed on the reordered 1D sequence. From a block-sparse perspective, this strategy significantly increases block sparsity and can be combined with existing block-sparse kernels to improve the efficiency of 2D local attention. Experiments show that the proposed Hilbert Window Attention and Hilbert Slide Attention can accelerate window attention and slide attention by about $4\times$ and $18\times$, respectively. To assess practicality, the strategy is instantiated as the Hilbert Window Transformer and the Hilbert Neighborhood Transformer, both of which achieve end-to-end speedups with minimal accuracy loss. Overall, combining Hilbert-guided local attention with block-sparse kernels offers a general and practical approach to enhancing the efficiency of 2D local attention for images.

Reinforcement Learning (RL) has become a compelling way to strengthen the multi step reasoning ability of Large Language Models (LLMs). However, prevalent RL paradigms still lean on sparse outcome-based rewards and limited exploration, which often drives LLMs toward repetitive and suboptimal reasoning patterns. In this paper, we study the central question of how to design exploration for LLM reasoning and introduce MERCI (Motivating Exploration in LLM Reasoning with Count-based Intrinsic Rewards), a novel RL algorithm that augments policy optimization with a principled intrinsic reward. Building on the idea of count-based exploration, MERCI leverages a lightweight Coin Flipping Network (CFN) to estimate the pseudo count and further epistemic uncertainty over reasoning trajectories, and converts them into an intrinsic reward that values novelty while preserving the learning signal from task rewards. We integrate MERCI into some advanced RL frameworks like Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO). Experiments on complex reasoning benchmarks demonstrate that MERCI encourages richer and more varied chains of thought, significantly improves performance over strong baselines, and helps the policy escape local routines to discover better solutions. It indicates that our targeted intrinsic motivation can make exploration reliable for language model reasoning.

Prompt engineering has become central to eliciting the capabilities of large language models (LLMs). At its core lies prompt selection - efficiently identifying the most effective prompts. However, most prior investigations overlook a key challenge: the inherently multi-faceted nature of prompt performance, which cannot be captured by a single metric. To fill this gap, we study the multi-objective prompt selection problem under two practical settings: Pareto prompt set recovery and best feasible prompt identification. Casting the problem into the pure-exploration bandits framework, we adapt provably efficient algorithms from multi-objective bandits and further introduce a novel design for best feasible arm identification in structured bandits, with theoretical guarantees on the identification error in the linear case. Extensive experiments across multiple LLMs show that the bandit-based approaches yield significant improvements over baselines, establishing a principled and efficient framework for multi-objective prompt optimization.

Curriculum learning plays a crucial role in enhancing the training efficiency of large language models (LLMs) on reasoning tasks. However, existing methods often fail to adequately account for variations in prompt difficulty or rely on simplistic filtering mechanisms to select prompt datasets within a narrow criterion range, resulting in significant computational waste. In this work, we approach the problem from the perspective of reinforcement learning gradient optimization, offering a systematic and theoretical investigation into how to improve the training efficiency of LLMs. We identify two key factors influencing training efficiency: the selection of training prompts and the allocation of rollout quantities across different prompts. Our theoretical analysis reveals that the sampling distribution of prompts dictates the convergence rate of gradient descent, while the allocation of the rollout quantity influences the consistency and stability of overall gradient updates. Based on these insights, we propose CurES, an efficient training method that accelerates convergence and employs Bayesian posterior estimation to minimize computational overhead. Experiments demonstrate that our CurES outperforms Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO) by $\textbf{+3.30}$ points and $\textbf{+4.82}$ points with 1.5B and 7B models, respectively, and exceeds the best prior sample efficient methods by $\textbf{+2.12}$ points on average across eight math reasoning benchmarks. Additionally, CurES exhibits faster convergence compared to baselines, including GRPO.

Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO) has significantly enhanced the reasoning capability of large language models by optimizing the arithmetic mean of token-level rewards. Unfortunately, GRPO is observed to suffer from unstable policy updates when facing tokens with outlier importance-weighted rewards, which manifest as extreme importance sampling ratios during training. In this study, we propose Geometric-Mean Policy Optimization (GMPO), with the aim to improve the stability of GRPO through suppressing token reward outliers. GMPO is plug-and-play—simply replacing GRPO's arithmetic mean with the geometric mean of token-level rewards, as the latter is inherently less sensitive to outliers. GMPO is theoretically plausible—analysis reveals that both GMPO and GRPO are weighted forms of the policy gradient while the former enjoys more stable weights, which consequently benefits policy optimization and performance. Experiments on multiple mathematical reasoning benchmarks show that \Ours-7B improves the average Pass@1 of GRPO by up to 4.1%, outperforming many state-of-the-art approaches.

Reinforcement finetuning (RFT) is a key technique for aligning Large Language Models (LLMs) with human preferences and enhancing reasoning, yet its effectiveness is highly sensitive to which tasks are explored during training. Uniform task sampling is inefficient, wasting computation on tasks that are either trivial or unsolvable, while existing task selection methods often suffer from high rollout costs, poor adaptivity, or incomplete evidence. We introduce \textbf{BOTS}, a unified framework for \textbf{B}ayesian \textbf{O}nline \textbf{T}ask \textbf{S}election in LLM reinforcement finetuning. Grounded in Bayesian inference, BOTS adaptively maintains posterior estimates of task difficulty as the model evolves. It jointly incorporates \emph{explicit evidence} from direct evaluations of selected tasks and \emph{implicit evidence} inferred from these evaluations for unselected tasks, with Thompson sampling ensuring a principled balance between exploration and exploitation for task selection. To make implicit evidence practical, we instantiate it with an ultra-light interpolation-based plug-in that estimates difficulties of unevaluated tasks without extra rollouts, adding negligible overhead. Empirically, across diverse domains and LLM scales, BOTS consistently improves data efficiency and performance over baselines and ablations, providing a practical and extensible solution for dynamic task selection in RFT.

Large language models (LLMs) excel at logical and algorithmic reasoning, yet their emotional intelligence (EQ) still lags far behind their cognitive prowess. While reinforcement learning from verifiable rewards (RLVR) has advanced in other domains, its application to dialogue—especially for emotional intelligence—remains underexplored. In this work, we introduce RLVER, the first end-to-end reinforcement learning framework that leverages verifiable emotion rewards from simulated users to cultivate higher-order empathetic abilities in LLMs. Within this framework, self-consistent affective simulated users engage in dialogue rollouts and produce deterministic emotion scores during conversations, serving as reward signals to guide the LLM's learning. Fine-tuning publicly available Qwen2.5-7B-Instruct model with PPO boosts its Sentient-Benchmark score from 13.3 to 79.2 while largely preserving mathematical and coding competence. Extensive experiments reveal that: (i) RLVER consistently improves multiple dialogue capabilities; (ii) Thinking and non-thinking models show distinct trends—thinking models excel in empathy and insight, while non-thinking models favor action; (iii) GRPO often yields stable gains, while PPO can push certain capabilities to a higher ceiling; (iv) More challenging environments are not always better—moderate ones can yield stronger outcomes. Our results show that RLVER is a practical route toward emotionally intelligent and broadly capable language agents.

Reinforcement learning (RL) is increasingly used to align vision--language models (VLMs), yet scaling RL for VLMs is bottlenecked by multimodal data handling and extreme workload skew. In typical RL pipelines, visual data loading and preprocessing are centralized, creating severe I/O and CPU/memory stragglers, while batches that mix short image-text prompts with long video contexts lead to large cross-GPU imbalance during rollouts, inference, and training. We present FlexRL, an end-to-end system that removes these bottlenecks. FlexRL introduces: (1) ShadowLoader, a distributed, metadata-driven pipeline that keeps only lightweight visual metadata on the controller, pushes decoding and preprocessing to worker-side preprocessors, and asynchronously materializes tensors to overlap I/O with GPU computation; (2) FlexUlysses, a cost-aware sub-sequence sharding and execution engine that adaptively splits sequences to balance compute and memory. Our evaluation shows that across multiple VLM scales and multimodal datasets on 128-GPU clusters, FlexRL improves end-to-end throughput by up to 8.47$\times$ over state-of-the-art RL systems.

Morphology-control co-design concerns the coupled optimization of an agent’s body structure and control policy. This problem exhibits a bi-level structure, where the control dynamically adapts to the morphology to maximize performance. Existing methods typically neglect the control’s adaptation dynamics by adopting a single-level formulation that treats the control policy as fixed when optimizing morphology. This can lead to inefficient optimization, as morphology updates may be misaligned with control adaptation. In this paper, we revisit the co-design problem from a game-theoretic perspective, modeling the intrinsic coupling between morphology and control as a novel variant of a Stackelberg game. We propose *Stackelberg Proximal Policy Optimization (Stackelberg PPO)*, which explicitly incorporates the control’s adaptation dynamics into morphology optimization. By modeling this intrinsic coupling, our method aligns morphology updates with control adaptation, thereby stabilizing training and improving learning efficiency. Experiments across diverse co-design tasks demonstrate that Stackelberg PPO outperforms standard PPO in both stability and final performance, opening the way for dramatically more efficient robotics designs.

The human cerebral cortex encodes rich neurobiological information that is essential for understanding brain development, aging, and disease. Although various cortical representation learning methods have been proposed, existing models are typically restricted to stage-specific cohorts and lack generalization across the lifespan. While recent vision-language models offer a promising direction, building a unified framework for cortical representation faces three key challenges: (1) the non-Euclidean manifold structure of cortical surfaces, (2) homogenization of individual folding patterns induced by registration, and (3) distribution shifts of cortical features across the lifespan. To address these issues, we present CortiLife, the first unified vision-language framework for lifespan-aware cortical representation learning. Specifically, CortiLife introduces a surface tokenizer that integrates icosahedron-based surface patchification with multi-level patch encoding to transform complex cortical manifolds into compact token representations. The multi-level encoding incorporates three complementary streams that capture local topology, global interactions, and patch-wise distributional patterns, effectively mitigating the challenges of homogenization and distribution shifts. Furthermore, CortiLife integrates masked self-distillation with metadata language prompting, embedding information such as age, sex, health status, and attribution type into the text encoder to better capture individual-specific cortical representations while enabling both age-aware and modality-aware modeling. Extensive experiments on downstream tasks, including two encoder-frozen tasks (age prediction and cortical parcellation) and four encoder fine-tuning tasks (brain disorder diagnosis), demonstrate that CortiLife consistently outperforms state-of-the-art baselines across different age stages and modality types, underscoring its effectiveness and generalization ability.

Inference speed and tracking performance are two critical evaluation metrics in the field of visual tracking. However, high-performance trackers often suffer from slow processing speeds, making them impractical for deployment on resource-constrained devices. To alleviate this issue, we propose $\textbf{FARTrack}$, a $\textbf{F}$ast $\textbf{A}$uto-$\textbf{R}$egressive $\textbf{T}$racking framework. Since autoregression emphasizes the temporal nature of the trajectory sequence, it can maintain high performance while achieving efficient execution across various devices. FARTrack introduces $\textbf{Task-Specific Self-Distillation}$ and $\textbf{Inter-frame Autoregressive Sparsification}$, designed from the perspectives of $\textbf{shallow-yet-accurate distillation}$ and $\textbf{redundant-to-essential token optimization}$, respectively. Task-Specific Self-Distillation achieves model compression by distilling task-specific tokens layer by layer, enhancing the model's inference speed while avoiding suboptimal manual teacher-student layer pairs assignments. Meanwhile, Inter-frame Autoregressive Sparsification sequentially condenses multiple templates, avoiding additional runtime overhead while learning a temporally-global optimal sparsification strategy. FARTrack demonstrates outstanding speed and competitive performance. It delivers an AO of 70.6\% on GOT-10k in real-time. Beyond, our fastest model achieves a speed of 343 FPS on the GPU and 121 FPS on the CPU. Source code is available at: https://github.com/MIV-XJTU/FARTrack.git
