ArenaRL: Scaling RL for Open-Ended Agents via Tournament-based Relative Ranking

ICML 2026poster

Reinforcement learning (RL) has advanced LLM agents on verifiable tasks but remains challenging for open-ended tasks with vast solution spaces (e.g., complex travel planning). Lacking objective ground truth, current RL algorithms rely on reward models assigning scalar scores to individual responses.…

Chaos Meets Attention: Transformers for Large-Scale Dynamical Prediction

ICML 2025poster

Generating long-term trajectories of dissipative chaotic systems autoregressively is a highly challenging task. The inherent positive Lyapunov exponents amplify prediction errors over time. Many chaotic systems possess a crucial property — ergodicity on their attractors, which makes long-term predic…

Let LLMs Take on the Latest Challenges! A Chinese Dynamic Question Answering Benchmark

COLING 2025main

How to better evaluate the capabilities of Large Language Models (LLMs) is the focal point and hot topic in current LLMs research. Previous work has noted that due to the extremely high cost of iterative updates of LLMs, they are often unable to answer the latest dynamic questions well. To promote t…

Tensor-Var: Efficient Four-Dimensional Variational Data Assimilation

ICML 2025poster

Variational data assimilation estimates the dynamical system states by minimizing a cost function that fits the numerical models with the observational data. Although four-dimensional variational assimilation (4D-Var) is widely used, it faces high computational costs in complex nonlinear systems and…

AISHELL-NER: Named Entity Recognition from Chinese Speech

ICASSP 2022accepted

Named Entity Recognition (NER) from speech is among Spoken Language Understanding (SLU) tasks, aiming to extract semantic information from the speech signal. NER from speech is usually made through a two-step pipeline that consists of (1) processing the audio using an Automatic Speech Recognition (A…

Forging Multiple Training Objectives for Pre-trained Language Models via Meta-Learning

EMNLP 2022finding

Multiple pre-training objectives fill the vacancy of the understanding capability of single-objective language modeling, which serves the ultimate purpose of pre-trained language models (PrLMs), generalizing well on a mass of scenarios. However, learning multiple training objectives in a single mode…

Probing BERT in Hyperbolic Spaces

ICLR 2021poster

Recently, a variety of probing tasks are proposed to discover linguistic properties learned in contextualized word embeddings. Many of these works implicitly assume these embeddings lay in certain metric spaces, typically the Euclidean space. This work considers a family of geometrically special spa…
