EchoRL: Reinforcement Learning via Rollout Echoing

ICML 2026poster

Reinforcement Learning with Verifiable Rewards is an effective route for post-training to strengthen the reasoning capability of large language models. However, as training proceeds, the learning signal can collapse thus makes the training gain become marginal and ineffective. Specifically, a growin…

ST-HNet: A CNN-LSM Hybrid Architecture for Spatio-Temporal Feature Learning in Event-Based Visual Place Recognition

ICRA 2026poster

Visual Place Recognition (VPR) based on Dynamic Vision Sensors (DVSs) has gained attention due to their high temporal resolution and robustness under challenging lighting conditions. However, the sparse and asynchronous event stream output of DVS introduces unique challenges for effective VPR. In th…

The Geometry of Reasoning: Self-Evaluation via Layerwise Trajectory Evolution

ICML 2026poster

Large Reasoning Models (LRMs) enhance performance by generating explicit Chain-of-Thought (CoT) trajectories, yet enabling them to self-evaluate correctness without external supervision remains a critical challenge. Existing methods often rely on ground-truth labels or shallow output probabilities, …

Backdoor Cleaning without External Guidance in MLLM Fine-tuning

NeurIPS 2025poster

Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) are increasingly deployed in fine-tuning-as-a-service (FTaaS) settings, where user-submitted datasets adapt general-purpose models to downstream tasks. This flexibility, however, introduces serious security risks, as malicious fine-tuning can implant backdoor…

LLaVA Steering: Visual Instruction Tuning with 500x Fewer Parameters through Modality Linear Representation-Steering

ACL 2025long

Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) enhance visual tasks by integrating visual representations into large language models (LLMs). The textual modality, inherited from LLMs, enables instruction following and in-context learning, while the visual modality boosts downstream task performance throug…
