Automatic Stage Lighting Control: Is it a Rule-Driven Process or Generative Task?

ICLR 2026poster

Stage lighting is a vital component in live music performances, shaping an engaging experience for both musicians and audiences. In recent years, Automatic Stage Lighting Control (ASLC) has attracted growing interest due to the high costs of hiring or training professional lighting engineers. Howeve…

Pushing the Boundaries of Natural Reasoning: Interleaved Bonus from Formal-Logic Verification

ICML 2026poster

Large Language Models (LLMs) show remarkable capabilities, yet their stochastic next-token prediction creates logical inconsistencies and reward hacking that formal symbolic systems avoid. To bridge this gap, we introduce a formal logic verification-guided framework that dynamically interleaves form…

Surgical Workflow Prediction via Visual Information in Laparoscopic and Robot-Assisted Surgery

RA-L 2026

Surgical workflow prediction is critical for enhancing safety and providing real-time guidance in Computer-Assisted Surgery (CAS), particularly in laparoscopic and Robot-Assisted Surgery (RAS). We propose a novel visual information-based method for predicting surgical workflows at fine temporal scal

Towards Fairness in Transportation Gig Markets: Identifying, Imitating, and Mitigating Algorithm Discrimination via Deep Reinforcement Learning

AAAI 2026technical

Recently, deep Reinforcement Learning (RL) methods have been widely used in labor management within transportation gig markets, such as ride-hailing, food delivery, and express delivery. Compared to traditional rule-based and optimization-based methods, RL can capture more information about long-ter

Towards Advanced Mathematical Reasoning for LLMs via First-Order Logic Theorem Proving

EMNLP 2025

Large language models (LLMs) have shown promising first-order logic (FOL) reasoning capabilities with applications in various areas. However, their effectiveness in complex mathematical reasoning involving multi-step FOL deductions is still under-researched. While LLMs perform competitively on estab
