The United Nations General Assembly will convene its September session in Geneva instead of New York,
following the United States’ refusal to grant entry visas to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and dozens of senior Palestinian officials
President Abbas is expected to address the Assembly in Geneva,
where he will call for international protection, recognition of Palestinian sovereignty,
and accountability for war crimes.
The Geneva session is expected to amp…

IFDECORATOR: Wrapping Instruction Following Reinforcement Learning with Verifiable Rewards
Reinforcement Learning with Verifiable Rewards (RLVR) improves instruction following capabilities of large language models (LLMs), but suffers from training inefficiency due to inadequate difficulty assessment. Moreover, RLVR is prone to over-optimization, where LLMs exploit verification shortcuts without aligning to the actual intent of user instructions. We introduce Instruction Following Decorator (IFDecorator}, a framework that wraps RLVR training into a robust and sample-efficient pipeline…

Working with an #acting #coaching client today on a piece of really well written text that also has meanings beneath the literal words, and feeling them finding their unique way to them was so cool. They're opening up who their version of the character can be, and it is wonderful to see it takin…

Full-History Graphs with Edge-Type Decoupled Networks for Temporal Reasoning
Modeling evolving interactions among entities is critical in many real-world tasks. For example, predicting driver maneuvers in traffic requires tracking how neighboring vehicles accelerate, brake, and change lanes relative to one another over consecutive frames. Likewise, detecting financial fraud hinges on following the flow of funds through successive transactions as they propagate through the network. Unlike classic time-series forecasting, these settings demand reasoning over who interacts…

Light-IF: Endowing LLMs with Generalizable Reasoning via Preview and Self-Checking for Complex Instruction Following
While advancements in the reasoning abilities of LLMs have significantly enhanced their performance in solving mathematical problems, coding tasks, and general puzzles, their effectiveness in accurately adhering to instructions remains inconsistent, particularly with more complex directives. Our investigation identifies lazy reasoning during the thinking stage as the primary factor contributing to poor instruction adherence. To mitigate this issue, we propose a comprehensive framework designed …

Are We on the Right Way for Assessing Document Retrieval-Augmented Generation?
Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems using Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) show great promise for complex document understanding, yet their development is critically hampered by inadequate evaluation. Current benchmarks often focus on specific part of document RAG system and use synthetic data with incomplete ground truth and evidence labels, therefore failing to reflect real-world bottlenecks and challenges. To overcome these limitations, we introduce Double-Bench: a new large…
