arXiv:2504.13961v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Accurate short-term traffic demand prediction is critical for the operation of traffic systems. Besides point estimation, the confidence interval of the prediction is also of great importance. Many models for traffic operations, such as shared bike rebalancing and taxi dispatching, take into account the uncertainty of future demand and require confidence intervals as the input. However, existing methods for confidence interval modeling rely on strict assumptions, such as unchanging traffic patterns and correct […]

Structure-based drug discovery faces the dual challenge of accurately capturing 3D protein-ligand interactions while navigating ultra-large chemical spaces to identify synthetically accessible candidates. In this work, we present a unified framework that addresses these challenges by combining contrastive 3D structure encoding with autoregressive molecular generation conditioned on commercial compound spaces. First, we introduce an SE(3)-equivariant transformer that encodes ligand and pocket structures into a shared embedding space via contrastive learning, achieving competitive results in zero-shot virtual screening. Second, […]

Continual Reinforcement Learning (CRL) aims to develop lifelong learning agents to continuously acquire knowledge across diverse tasks while mitigating catastrophic forgetting. This requires efficiently managing the stability-plasticity dilemma and leveraging prior experience to rapidly generalize to novel tasks. While various enhancement strategies for both aspects have been proposed, achieving scalable performance by directly applying RL to sequential task streams remains challenging. In this paper, we propose a novel teacher-student framework that decouples CRL into two independent processes: training […]

Finetuning on domain-specific data is a well-established method for enhancing LLM performance on downstream tasks. Training on each dataset produces a new set of model weights, resulting in a multitude of checkpoints saved in-house or on open-source platforms. However, these training artifacts are rarely reused for subsequent experiments despite containing improved model abilities for potentially similar tasks. In this paper, we propose Mashup Learning, a simple method to leverage the outputs of prior training runs to enhance model […]

arXiv:2602.15962v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Holstein-Friesian detection and re-identification (Re-ID) methods capture individuals well when targets are spatially separate. However, existing approaches, including YOLO-based species detection, break down when cows group closely together. This is particularly prevalent for species which have outline-breaking coat patterns. To boost both effectiveness and transferability in this setting, we propose a new detect-segment-identify pipeline that leverages the Open-Vocabulary Weight-free Localisation and the Segment Anything models as pre-processing stages alongside Re-ID networks. To evaluate […]

arXiv:2604.09813v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Existing synthetic tool-use corpora are primarily designed for offline supervised fine-tuning, yet reinforcement learning (RL) requires executable environments that support reward-checkable online rollouts. We propose COVERT, a two-stage pipeline that first generates reliable base tool-use trajectories through self-evolving synthesis with multi-level validation, and then applies oracle-preserving augmentations that systematically increase environmental complexity. These augmentations introduce distractor tools, indirect or ambiguous user queries, and noisy, multi-format, or erroneous tool outputs, while strictly preserving oracle […]

Multi-task learning (MTL) aims to enable a single model to solve multiple tasks efficiently; however, current parameter-efficient fine-tuning (PEFT) methods remain largely limited to single-task adaptation. We introduce textbf{Free Sinewich}, a parameter-efficient multi-task learning framework that enables near-zero-cost weight modulation via frequency switching (textbf{Free}). Specifically, a textbf{Sine-AWB (Sinewich)} layer combines low-rank factors and convolutional priors into a single kernel, which is then modulated elementwise by a sinusoidal transformation to produce task-specialized weights. A lightweight Clock Net is introduced […]
