Abstract:For LLM agents, memory management critically impacts efficiency, quality, and security. While much research focuses on retention, selective forgetting--inspired by human cognitive processes (hippocampal indexing/consolidation theory and Ebbinghaus forgetting curve)--remains underexplored. We argue that in resource-constrained environments, a well-designed forgetting mechanism is as crucial as remembering, delivering benefits across three dimensions: (1) efficiency via intelligent memory pruning, (2) quality by dynamically updating outdated preferences and context, and (3) security through active forgetting of malicious inputs, sensitive data, and privacy-compromising content. Our framework establishes a taxonomy of forgetting mechanisms: passive decay-based, active deletion-based, safety-triggered, and adaptive reinforcement-based. Building on advances in LLM agent architectures and vector databases, we present detailed specifications, implementation strategies, and empirical validation from controlled experiments. Results show significant improvements: access efficiency (+8.49%), content quality (+29.2% signal-to-noise ratio), and security performance (100% elimination of security risks). Our work bridges cognitive neuroscience and AI systems, offering practical solutions for real-world deployment while addressing ethical and regulatory compliance. The paper concludes with challenges and future directions, establishing selective forgetting as a fundamental capability for next-generation LLM agents operating in real-world, resource-constrained scenarios. Our contributions align with AI-native memory systems and responsible AI development.
Abstract:Flow Matching (FM) policies have emerged as an efficient backbone for robotic control, offering fast and expressive action generation that underpins recent large-scale embodied AI systems. However, FM policies trained via imitation learning inherit the limitations of demonstration data; surpassing suboptimal behaviors requires reinforcement learning (RL) fine-tuning. Recent methods convert deterministic flows into stochastic differential equations (SDEs) with learnable noise injection, enabling exploration and tractable likelihoods, but such noise-only control can compromise training efficiency when demonstrations already provide strong priors. We observe that modulating the drift via the score function, i.e., the gradient of log-density, steers exploration toward high-probability regions, improving stability. The score admits a closed-form expression from the velocity field, requiring no auxiliary networks. Based on this, we propose ScoRe-Flow, a score-based RL fine-tuning method that combines drift modulation with learned variance prediction to achieve decoupled control over the mean and variance of stochastic transitions. Experiments demonstrate that ScoRe-Flow achieves 2.4x faster convergence than flow-based SOTA on D4RL locomotion tasks and up to 5.4% higher success rates on Robomimic and Franka Kitchen manipulation tasks.
Abstract:Agents equipped with search tools have emerged as effective solutions for knowledge-intensive tasks. While Large Language Models (LLMs) exhibit strong reasoning capabilities, their high computational cost limits practical deployment for search agents. Consequently, recent work has focused on distilling agentic behaviors from LLMs into Small Language Models (SLMs). Through comprehensive evaluation on complex multi-hop reasoning tasks, we find that despite possessing less parametric knowledge, SLMs invoke search tools less frequently and are more prone to hallucinations. To address this issue, we propose \policy, a lightweight fine-tuning approach that explicitly trains SLMs to reliably retrieve and generate answers grounded in retrieved evidence. Compared to agent distillation from LLMs, our approach improves performance by 17.3 scores on Bamboogle and 15.3 scores on HotpotQA, achieving LLM-level results across benchmarks. Our further analysis reveals that adaptive search strategies in SLMs often degrade performance, highlighting the necessity of consistent search behavior for reliable reasoning.
Abstract:Large language models and autonomous agents are increasingly explored for EDA automation, but many existing integrations still rely on script-level or request-level interactions, which makes it difficult to preserve tool state and support iterative optimization in real production-oriented environments. In this work, we present FluxEDA, a unified and stateful infrastructure substrate for agentic EDA. FluxEDA introduces a managed gateway-based execution interface with structured request and response handling. It also maintains persistent backend instances. Together, these features allow upper-layer agents and programmable clients to interact with heterogeneous EDA tools through preserved runtime state, rather than through isolated shell invocations. We evaluate the framework using two representative commercial backend case studies: automated post-route timing ECO and standard-cell sub-library optimization. The results show that FluxEDA can support multi-step analysis and optimization over real tool contexts, including state reuse, rollback, and coordinated iterative execution. These findings suggest that a stateful and governed infrastructure layer is a practical foundation for agent-assisted EDA automation.
Abstract:Integrating AI into the physical layer is a cornerstone of 6G networks. However, current data-driven approaches struggle to generalize across dynamic environments because they lack an intrinsic understanding of electromagnetic wave propagation. We introduce the Wireless World Model (WWM), a multi-modal foundation framework predicting the spatiotemporal evolution of wireless channels by internalizing the causal relationship between 3D geometry and signal dynamics. Pre-trained on a massive ray-traced multi-modal dataset, WWM overcomes the data authenticity gap, further validated under real-world measurement data. Using a joint-embedding predictive architecture with a multi-modal mixture-of-experts Transformer, WWM fuses channel state information, 3D point clouds, and user trajectories into a unified representation. Across the five key downstream tasks supported by WWM, it achieves remarkable performance in seen environments, unseen generalization scenarios, and real-world measurements, consistently outperforming SOTA uni-modal foundation models and task-specific models. This paves the way for physics-aware 6G intelligence that adapts to the physical world.
Abstract:Predicting human gaze in video is fundamental to advancing scene understanding and multimodal interaction. While traditional saliency maps provide spatial probability distributions and scanpaths offer ordered fixations, both abstractions often collapse the fine-grained temporal dynamics of raw gaze. Furthermore, existing models are typically constrained to short-term windows ($\approx$ 3-5s), failing to capture the long-range behavioral dependencies inherent in real-world content. We present a generative framework for infinite-horizon raw gaze prediction in videos of arbitrary length. By leveraging an autoregressive diffusion model, we synthesize gaze trajectories characterized by continuous spatial coordinates and high-resolution timestamps. Our model is conditioned on a saliency-aware visual latent space. Quantitative and qualitative evaluations demonstrate that our approach significantly outperforms existing approaches in long-range spatio-temporal accuracy and trajectory realism.
Abstract:Existing dialogue systems rely on Query Suggestion (QS) to enhance user engagement. Recent efforts typically employ large language models with Click-Through Rate (CTR) model, yet fail in cold-start scenarios due to their heavy reliance on abundant online click data for effective CTR model training. To bridge this gap, we propose Cold-EQS, an iterative reinforcement learning framework for Cold-Start E-commerce Query Suggestion (EQS). Specifically, we leverage answerability, factuality, and information gain as reward to continuously optimize the quality of suggested queries. To continuously optimize our QS model, we estimate uncertainty for grouped candidate suggested queries to select hard and ambiguous samples from online user queries lacking click signals. In addition, we provide an EQS-Benchmark comprising 16,949 online user queries for offline training and evaluation. Extensive offline and online experiments consistently demonstrate a strong positive correlation between online and offline effectiveness. Both offline and online experimental results demonstrate the superiority of our Cold-EQS, achieving a significant +6.81% improvement in online chatUV.
Abstract:Current 3D human animation methods struggle to achieve photorealism: kinematics-based approaches lack non-rigid dynamics (e.g., clothing dynamics), while methods that leverage video diffusion priors can synthesize non-rigid motion but suffer from quality artifacts and identity loss. To overcome these limitations, we present Ani3DHuman, a framework that marries kinematics-based animation with video diffusion priors. We first introduce a layered motion representation that disentangles rigid motion from residual non-rigid motion. Rigid motion is generated by a kinematic method, which then produces a coarse rendering to guide the video diffusion model in generating video sequences that restore the residual non-rigid motion. However, this restoration task, based on diffusion sampling, is highly challenging, as the initial renderings are out-of-distribution, causing standard deterministic ODE samplers to fail. Therefore, we propose a novel self-guided stochastic sampling method, which effectively addresses the out-of-distribution problem by combining stochastic sampling (for photorealistic quality) with self-guidance (for identity fidelity). These restored videos provide high-quality supervision, enabling the optimization of the residual non-rigid motion field. Extensive experiments demonstrate that \MethodName can generate photorealistic 3D human animation, outperforming existing methods. Code is available in https://github.com/qiisun/ani3dhuman.
Abstract:Large Language Models cannot reliably acquire new knowledge post-deployment -- even when relevant text resources exist, models fail to transform them into actionable knowledge without retraining. Retrieval-Augmented Generation attempts to bridge this gap by surfacing relevant documents at inference time, yet similarity-based retrieval often fails to identify context that actually improves task performance. We introduce Evolutionary Context Search (ECS), an evolutionary method that searches context combinations using accuracy on a small development set, requiring only inference calls without weight updates. ECS moves beyond semantic similarity to discover non-obvious context pairings that significantly boost performance. Our empirical results show that ECS improves BackendBench by 27\% and $τ$-bench airline by 7\%. The evolved contexts are model-agnostic, as those evolved with Gemini-3-Flash transfer effectively to Claude Sonnet and DeepSeek. This suggests that ECS opens a path toward automated context discovery for skill acquisition -- an efficient alternative to manual prompt engineering or costly fine-tuning.
Abstract:Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) equips large language models (LLMs) with reliable knowledge memory. To strengthen cross-text associations, recent research integrates graphs and hypergraphs into RAG to capture pairwise and multi-entity relations as structured links. However, their misaligned memory organization necessitates costly, disjointed retrieval. To address these limitations, we propose IGMiRAG, a framework inspired by human intuition-guided reasoning. It constructs a hierarchical heterogeneous hypergraph to align multi-granular knowledge, incorporating deductive pathways to simulate realistic memory structures. During querying, IGMiRAG distills intuitive strategies via a question parser to control mining depth and memory window, and activates instantaneous memories as anchors using dual-focus retrieval. Mirroring human intuition, the framework guides retrieval resource allocation dynamically. Furthermore, we design a bidirectional diffusion algorithm that navigates deductive paths to mine in-depth memories, emulating human reasoning processes. Extensive evaluations indicate IGMiRAG outperforms the state-of-the-art baseline by 4.8% EM and 5.0% F1 overall, with token costs adapting to task complexity (average 6.3k+, minimum 3.0k+). This work presents a cost-effective RAG paradigm that improves both efficiency and effectiveness.
