AdaNav: Adaptive Reasoning with Uncertainty for Vision-Language Navigation

ICML 2026poster

Vision-Language Navigation (VLN) requires agents to follow natural language instructions by grounding them in sequential visual observations over long horizons. Explicit reasoning could enhance temporal consistency and perception–action alignment, but reasoning at fixed steps often leads to suboptim…

ProRe: A Proactive Reward System for GUI Agents via Reasoner–Actor Collaboration

ICLR 2026poster

Reward is critical to the evaluation and training of large language models (LLMs). However, existing rule-based or model-based reward methods struggle to generalize to GUI agents, where access to ground-truth trajectories or application databases is often unavailable, and static trajectory-based LLM…

Sculptor: Empowering LLMs with Cognitive Agency via Active Context Management

ICLR 2026poster

Large Language Models (LLMs) suffer from significant performance degradation when processing long contexts due to proactive interference, where irrelevant information in earlier parts of the context disrupts reasoning and memory recall. While most research focuses on external memory systems to augme…

Sparse Attention Adaptation for Long Reasoning

ICLR 2026poster

We introduce SeerAttention-R, a sparse attention framework specifically tailored for the long decoding of reasoning models. Extended from SeerAttention, SeerAttention-R retains the design of learning attention sparsity through a self-distilled gating mechanism, while removing query pooling to accomm…

Video-in-the-Loop: Span-Grounded Long Video QA with Interleaved Reasoning

ICML 2026poster

We present $\textit{Video-in-the-Loop}$ (ViTL), a two-stage long-video QA framework that preserves a fixed token budget by first $\textit{localizing}$ question-relevant interval(s) with a low-fps skim and then $\textit{answering}$ via span-aware reallocation of visual tokens at higher effective fram…

Bitnet.cpp: Efficient Edge Inference for Ternary LLMs

ACL 2025long

The advent of 1-bit large language models (LLMs), led by BitNet b1.58, has spurred interest in ternary LLMs. Despite this, research and practical applications focusing on efficient edge inference for ternary LLMs remain scarce. To bridge this gap, we introduce Bitnet.cpp, an inference system optimiz…

SeerAttention: Self-distilled Attention Gating for Efficient Long-context Prefilling

NeurIPS 2025poster

Attention is the cornerstone of modern Large Language Models (LLMs). Yet its quadratic complexity hinders efficiency and scalability, especially for long-context processing. A promising approach is to leverage sparsity in attention. However, existing sparsity-based solutions predominantly rely on p…
