EvoTest: Evolutionary Test-Time Learning for Self-Improving Agentic Systems

ICLR 2026poster

A fundamental limitation of current AI agents is their inability to learn complex skills on the fly at test time, often behaving like “clever but clueless interns” in novel environments. This severely limits their practical utility. To systematically measure and drive progress on this challenge, we…

Just-In-Time Reinforcement Learning: Continual Learning in LLM Agents Without Gradient Updates

ICML 2026spotlight

While Large Language Model (LLM) agents excel at general tasks, they inherently struggle with continual adaptation due to the frozen weights after deployment. Conventional reinforcement learning (RL) offers a solution but incurs prohibitive computational costs and the risk of catastrophic forgetting…

ConfTuner: Training Large Language Models to Express Their Confidence Verbally

NeurIPS 2025poster

Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly deployed in high-stakes domains such as science, law, and healthcare, where accurate expressions of uncertainty are essential for reliability and trust. However, current LLMs are often observed to generate incorrect answers with high confidence—a phenome…

MLR-Bench: Evaluating AI Agents on Open-Ended Machine Learning Research

NeurIPS 2025poster

Recent advancements in AI agents have demonstrated their growing potential to drive and support scientific discovery. In this work, we introduce MLR-Bench, a comprehensive benchmark for evaluating AI agents on open-ended machine learning research. MLR-Bench includes three key components: (1) 201 res…

Less is More: on the Over-Globalizing Problem in Graph Transformers

ICML 2024oral

Graph Transformer, due to its global attention mechanism, has emerged as a new tool in dealing with graph-structured data. It is well recognized that the global attention mechanism considers a wider receptive field in a fully connected graph, leading many to believe that useful information can be ex…

Improving Table Structure Recognition With Visual-Alignment Sequential Coordinate Modeling

CVPR 2023poster

Table structure recognition aims to extract the logical and physical structure of unstructured table images into a machine-readable format. The latest end-to-end image-to-text approaches simultaneously predict the two structures by two decoders, where the prediction of the physical structure (the bo…
