DevEvol: Benchmarking LLM Agents on Continuous Software Evolution

ICML 2026poster

Large Language Model (LLM) agents have demonstrated remarkable proficiency in solving isolated software engineering tasks. However, existing benchmarks predominantly evaluate static, independent issues, failing to reflect the continuous and sequentially dependent nature of real-world software evolut…

LatentChem: From Textual CoT to Latent Thinking in Chemical Reasoning

ICML 2026poster

Current chemical large language models (LLMs) predominantly rely on explicit Chain-of-Thought (CoT) to solve complex reasoning problems. However, forcing nonverbal tacit chemical logic into discrete natural language imposes a fundamental ``modality mismatch,'' creating an artificial bottleneck for r…

Bandit Theory and Thompson Sampling-Guided Directed Evolution for Sequence Optimization

NeurIPS 2022accept

Directed Evolution (DE), a landmark wet-lab method originated in 1960s, enables discovery of novel protein designs via evolving a population of candidate sequences. Recent advances in biotechnology has made it possible to collect high-throughput data, allowing the use of machine learning to map out…
