A$^2$FM: An Adaptive Agent Foundation Model for Tool-Aware Hybrid Reasoning

ICLR 2026poster

Large language models split into two families: reasoning-centric LLMs, which strengthen internal chain-of-thought reasoning but cannot invoke external tools, and agentic LLMs, which learn to interact with environments and leverage tools but often lag in deep reasoning. This divide arises from fundam…

ACADREASON: Exploring the Limits of Reasoning Models with Academic Research Problems

ICLR 2026poster

In recent years, the research focus of large language models (LLMs) and agents has shifted increasingly from demonstrating novel capabilities to complex reasoning and tackling challenging tasks. However, existing evaluations focus mainly on math/code contests or general tasks, while existing multi-d…

EVOLVING ROLLOUTS: Harnessing Historical Experience for Web Agent Evolution in Reinforcement Learning

ICML 2026poster

Agentic reinforcement learning (RL) for web search is prohibitively expensive due to long context lengths and costly environment interactions, and this inefficiency is further exacerbated by GRPO-based optimization, which discards learning signals from entire rollout groups with zero reward variance…

Flash-Searcher: Fast and Effective Web Agents via DAG-Based Parallel Execution

ICLR 2026poster

Large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated remarkable capabilities in complex reasoning tasks when equipped with external tools. However, current frameworks predominantly rely on sequential processing, leading to inefficient execution particularly for tasks requiring extensive tool interaction.…

TaskCraft: Automated Generation of Agentic Tasks

ICLR 2026poster

Agentic tasks, which require multistep problem solving with tool use and adaptive reasoning, are becoming increasingly central to the advancement of NLP and AI. Although benchmarks such as GAIA and BrowseComp have advanced agent evaluation, their scalability remains limited by the high cost of human…

TriDet: Temporal Action Detection With Relative Boundary Modeling

CVPR 2023poster

In this paper, we present a one-stage framework TriDet for temporal action detection. Existing methods often suffer from imprecise boundary predictions due to the ambiguous action boundaries in videos. To alleviate this problem, we propose a novel Trident-head to model the action boundary via an est…

Benefits of Permutation-Equivariance in Auction Mechanisms

NeurIPS 2022accept

Designing an incentive-compatible auction mechanism that maximizes the auctioneer's revenue while minimizes the bidders’ ex-post regret is an important yet intricate problem in economics. Remarkable progress has been achieved through learning the optimal auction mechanism by neural networks. In this…

ReAct: Temporal Action Detection with Relational Queries

ECCV 2022poster

"This work aims at advancing temporal action detection (TAD) using an encoder-decoder framework with action queries, similar to DETR, which has shown great success in object detection. However, the framework suffers from several problems if directly applied to TAD: the insufficient exploration of in…
