BFTS: Thompson Sampling with Bayesian Additive Regression Trees

ICML 2026spotlight

We propose Bayesian Forest Thompson Sampling (BFTS), which performs Thompson sampling using arm-wise Bayesian Additive Regression Trees (BART) to model each action's mean reward and generate MCMC-based posterior draws for decision-making. We derive an information-theoretic Bayesian regret bound of o…

AGC-Drive: A Large-Scale Dataset for Real-World Aerial-Ground Collaboration in Driving Scenarios

NeurIPS 2025poster

By sharing information across multiple agents, collaborative perception helps autonomous vehicles mitigate occlusions and improve overall perception accuracy. While most previous work focus on vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure collaboration, with limited attention to aerial perspectiv…

Accelerate Parallelizable Reasoning via Parallel Decoding within One Sequence

EMNLP 2025

Recent advances in reasoning models have demonstrated significant improvements in accuracy by employing detailed and comprehensive reasoning processes. However, generating these lengthy reasoning sequences is computationally expensive and time-consuming. To address this inefficiency, we leverage the

Beyond Binary Preferences: Semi-Online Label-Free GRACE-KTO with Group-Wise Adaptive Calibration for High-Quality Long-Text Generation

EMNLP 2025

Generating high-quality long-text remains challenging for Large Language Models (LLMs), as conventional supervised fine-tuning fails to ensure overall quality due to its teacher-forcing nature. Kahneman-Tversky Optimization (KTO), as a model alignment method that can holistically optimize generation

Long-context Language Models Fail in Basic Retrieval Tasks Without Sufficient Reasoning Steps

EMNLP 2025

Long-context language models (LCLMs), characterized by their extensive context window, are becoming popular. However, despite the fact that they are nearly perfect at standard long-context retrieval tasks, our evaluations demonstrate they fail in some basic cases. Later, we find they can be well add

SQL-R1: Training Natural Language to SQL Reasoning Model By Reinforcement Learning

NeurIPS 2025poster

Natural Language to SQL (NL2SQL) enables intuitive interactions with databases by transforming natural language queries into structured SQL statements. Despite recent advancements in enhancing human-computer interaction within database applications, significant challenges persist, particularly rega…

PCL: Proxy-Based Contrastive Learning for Domain Generalization

CVPR 2022poster

Domain generalization refers to the problem of training a model from a collection of different source domains that can directly generalize to the unseen target domains. A promising solution is contrastive learning, which attempts to learn domain-invariant representations by exploiting rich semantic…
