Cold-Start Personalization via Training-Free Priors from Structured World Models

ICML 2026poster

Cold-start personalization requires inferring preferences from minimal interaction when no user-specific historical data is available. The space of possible preferences is vast, yet users care about only a sparse subset and rarely articulate them upfront; combined with limited interaction budgets, t…

Privasis: Synthesizing the Largest "Public" Private Dataset from Scratch

ICML 2026poster

Research involving privacy-sensitive data has always been constrained by data scarcity, standing in sharp contrast to other areas that have benefited from data scaling. To quench this thirst, we present Privasis (i.e., privacy oasis), the first million-scale fully synthetic dataset entirely built fr…

RLVE: Scaling Up Reinforcement Learning for Language Models with Adaptive Verifiable Environments

ICML 2026poster

We introduce Reinforcement Learning (RL) with Adaptive Verifiable Environments (RLVE), an approach using verifiable environments that procedurally generate problems and provide algorithmically verifiable rewards, to scale up RL for language models (LMs). RLVE enables each verifiable environment to d…

Spurious Rewards: Rethinking Training Signals in RLVR

ICML 2026poster

We show that reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR) can elicit strong mathematical reasoning in certain language models even with spurious rewards that have little, no, or outright negative correlation with the correct answer. For example, RLVR training with GRPO improves MATH-500 per…
