MC-Search: Evaluating and Enhancing Multimodal Agentic Search with Structured Long Reasoning Chains

ICLR 2026oral

With the increasing demand for step-wise, cross-modal, and knowledge-grounded reasoning, multimodal large language models (MLLMs) are evolving beyond the traditional fixed retrieve-then-generate paradigm toward more sophisticated agentic multimodal retrieval-augmented generation (MM-RAG). Existing b…

AlphaOne: Reasoning Models Thinking Slow and Fast at Test Time

EMNLP 2025

This paper presents AlphaOne ( 𝛼1 ), a universal framework for modulating reasoning progress in large reasoning models (LRMs) at test time. 𝛼1 first introduces 𝛼 moment, which represents the scaled thinking phase with a universal parameter 𝛼 .Within this scaled pre- 𝛼 moment phase, it dynamically sc

Graph4MM: Weaving Multimodal Learning with Structural Information

ICML 2025poster

Real-world multimodal data usually exhibit complex structural relationships beyond traditional one-to-one mappings like image-caption pairs. Entities across modalities interact in intricate ways, with images and text forming diverse interconnections through contextual dependencies and co-references.…

SLMRec: Distilling Large Language Models into Small for Sequential Recommendation

ICLR 2025poster

Sequential Recommendation (SR) task involves predicting the next item a user is likely to interact with, given their past interactions. The SR models examine the sequence of a user's actions to discern more complex behavioral patterns and temporal dynamics. Recent research demonstrates the great i…

i$^2$VAE: Interest Information Augmentation with Variational Regularizers for Cross-Domain Sequential Recommendation

UAI 2025

Cross-Domain Sequential Recommendation (CDSR) leverages user behaviors across multiple domains to mitigate data sparsity and cold-start challenges in Single-Domain Sequential Recommendation. Existing methods primarily rely on shared users (overlapping users) to learn transferable interest representa

iAgent: LLM Agent as a Shield between User and Recommender Systems

ACL 2025finding

Traditional recommender systems usually take the user-platform paradigm, where users are directly exposed under the control of the platform’s recommendation algorithms. However, the defect of recommendation algorithms may put users in very vulnerable positions under this paradigm. First, many sophis…
