DeepImageSearch: Benchmarking Multimodal Agents for Context-Aware Image Retrieval in Visual Histories

ICML 2026poster

Existing multimodal retrieval systems excel at semantic matching but implicitly assume that query-image relevance can be measured in isolation. This paradigm overlooks the rich dependencies inherent in realistic visual streams, where information is distributed across temporal sequences rather than c…

Graph-Reward-SQL: Execution-Free Reinforcement Learning for Text-to-SQL via Graph Matching and Stepwise Reward

EMNLP 2025

Reinforcement learning (RL) has been widely adopted to enhance the performance of large language models (LLMs) on Text-to-SQL tasks. However, existing methods often rely on execution-based or LLM-based Bradley–Terry reward models. The former suffers from high execution latency caused by repeated dat

On the Power of Adaptive Weighted Aggregation in Heterogeneous Federated Learning and Beyond

AISTATS 2025poster

Federated averaging (FedAvg) is the most fundamental algorithm in Federated learning (FL). Previous theoretical results assert that FedAvg convergence and generalization degenerate under heterogeneous clients. However, recent empirical results show that FedAvg can perform well in many real-world he…

On Diversified Preferences of Large Language Model Alignment

EMNLP 2024finding

Aligning large language models (LLMs) with human preferences has been recognized as the key to improving LLMs’ interaction quality. However, in this pluralistic world, human preferences can be diversified due to annotators’ different tastes, which hinders the effectiveness of LLM alignment methods.…
