Adaptive Thinking: Large Language Models Know When to Think in Latent Space

ICLR 2026poster

Recent advances in large language models (LLMs) test-time computing have introduced the capability to perform intermediate chain-of-thought (CoT) reasoning (thinking) before generating answers. While increasing the thinking budget yields smooth performance improvements at inference time, the relatio…

EgoTraj-Bench: Towards Robust Trajectory Prediction under Ego-View Noisy Observations

ICRA 2026poster

Reliable trajectory prediction from an ego-centric perspective is crucial for robotic navigation in human-centric environments. However, existing methods typically assume noiseless observation histories, failing to account for the perceptual artifacts inherent in first-person vision, such as occlusi…

From Text to Simulation: A Multi-Agent LLM Workflow for Automated Chemical Process Design

AAAI 2026technical

Process simulation is a critical cornerstone of chemical engineering design. Current automated chemical design methodologies focus mainly on various representations of process flow diagrams. However, transforming these diagrams into executable simulation flowsheets remains a time-consuming and labor

Hilbert: Recursively Building Formal Proofs with Informal Reasoning

ICLR 2026poster

Large Language Models (LLMs) demonstrate impressive mathematical reasoning abilities, but their solutions frequently contain errors that cannot be automatically verified. Formal theorem proving systems such as Lean 4 offer automated verification with complete accuracy, motivating recent efforts to b…

Can External Validation Tools Improve Annotation Quality for LLM-as-a-Judge?

ACL 2025long

Pairwise preferences over model responses are widely collected to evaluate and provide feedback to large language models (LLMs). Given two alternative model responses to the same input, a human or AI annotator selects the “better” response. This approach can provide feedback for domains where other…

Exploring the Limits of Vision-Language-Action Manipulation in Cross-task Generalization

NeurIPS 2025poster

The generalization capabilities of vision-language-action (VLA) models to unseen tasks are crucial to achieving general-purpose robotic manipulation in open-world settings. However, the cross-task generalization capabilities of existing VLA models remain significantly underexplored. To address this…

I2EBench: A Comprehensive Benchmark for Instruction-based Image Editing

NeurIPS 2024poster

Significant progress has been made in the field of Instruction-based Image Editing (IIE). However, evaluating these models poses a significant challenge. A crucial requirement in this field is the establishment of a comprehensive evaluation benchmark for accurately assessing editing results and prov…

POAQL: A Partially Observable Altruistic Q-Learning Method for Cooperative Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning

ICRA 2024poster

Multi-Agent Path Finding (MAPF) is an important issue in multi-agent cooperation. Many studies apply MultiAgent Reinforcement Learning (MARL) to solve MAPF in partially observable settings. The objective of cooperative MARL is to maximize the cumulative team reward. Nevertheless, in partially observ…

The Lazy Neuron Phenomenon: On Emergence of Activation Sparsity in Transformers

ICLR 2023poster

This paper studies a curious phenomenon that machine learning model with Transformer architectures have sparse activation maps. By activation map we refer to the intermediate output of the multi-layer perceptrons (MLPs) after a ReLU activation function, and by "sparse" we mean that on average very f…
