Most state-of-the-art probabilistic time series forecasting models rely on sampling to represent future uncertainty. However, this paradigm suffers from inherent limitations, such as lacking explicit probabilities, inadequate coverage, and high computational costs. In this work, we introduce **Proba…
Large Language Models (LLMs) using Chain-of-Thought (CoT) prompting excel at complex reasoning but generate verbose thought processes with considerable redundancy, leading to increased inference costs and reduced efficiency. We introduce a novel CoT compression framework based on step entropy, a met…
The prevailing approach to distilling reasoning from Large Language Models (LLMs)—behavioral cloning from textual rationales—is fundamentally limited. It teaches Small Language Models (SLMs) to mimic surface-level patterns rather than the underlying algorithmic structure of thought, resulting in a c…
Recent advancements in long chain-of-thought (CoT) reasoning, particularly through the Group Relative Policy Optimization algorithm used by DeepSeek-R1, have led to significant interest in the potential of Reinforcement Learning with Verifiable Rewards (RLVR) for Large Language Models (LLMs). While…
We introduce AbGen, the first benchmark designed to evaluate the capabilities of LLMs in designing ablation studies for scientific research. AbGen consists of 2,000 expert-annotated examples derived from 677 NLP papers. In this benchmark, LLMs are tasked with generating detailed ablation study desig…
Peer review is fundamental to scientific research, but the growing volume of publications has intensified the challenges of this expertise-intensive process. While LLMs show promise in various scientific tasks, their potential to assist with peer review, particularly in identifying paper limitations…
Large language models (LLMs) often produce reasoning steps that are superficially coherent yet internally inconsistent, leading to unreliable outputs. Since such failures typically arise from implicit or poorly-grounded knowledge, we introduce \emph{Grounded Reasoning in Dependency (GRiD)}, a novel…
Large Language Models have advanced significantly in complex reasoning, often leveraging external reward model to improve the reliability of their multi-step processes. However, existing process verification methods struggle with reliably assessing incomplete reasoning traces and are limited by the
Task-oriented dialogue (TOD) systems are widely used across various domains, including customer service, appointment scheduling, and technical support. In real-world scenarios, such systems must adhere to given operational guidelines. However, existing solutions based on large language models often…
We introduce MMVU, a comprehensive expert-level, multi-discipline benchmark for evaluating foundation models in video understanding. MMVU includes 3,000 expert-annotated questions spanning 27 subjects across four core disciplines: Science, Healthcare, Humanities & Social Sciences, and Engineering. C…
In reinforcement learning (RL) based robot skill acquisition, a high-fidelity simulator is usually indispensable but unattainable since the real environment dynamics are difficult to model, which leads to severe sim-to-real gaps. Existing methods solve this problem by combining offline and online RL
In this paper, we introduce FITS, a lightweight yet powerful model for time series analysis. Unlike existing models that directly process raw time-domain data, FITS operates on the principle that time series can be manipulated through interpolation in the complex frequency domain, achieving performa…
In this study, we present $\text{aL\small{LM}4T\small{S}}$, an innovative framework that adapts Large Language Models (LLMs) for time-series representation learning. Central to our approach is that we reconceive time-series forecasting as a self-supervised, multi-patch prediction task, which, compar…
Table data is pervasive in various industries, and its comprehension and manipulation demand significant time and effort for users seeking to extract relevant information. Consequently, an increasing number of studies have been directed towards table-to-text generation tasks. However, most existing…
In the era of data-driven decision-making, Long-Form Table Question Answering (LFTQA) is essential for integrating structured data with complex reasoning. Despite recent advancements in Large Language Models (LLMs) for LFTQA, evaluating their effectiveness remains a significant challenge. We introdu…
One unique property of time series is that the temporal relations are largely preserved after downsampling into two sub-sequences. By taking advantage of this property, we propose a novel neural network architecture that conducts sample convolution and interaction for temporal modeling and forecasti…
