Recent advances in large language models (LLMs) have scaled the potential for reasoning and agentic search, wherein models autonomously plan, retrieve, and reason over external knowledge to answer complex queries. However, the iterative think–search loop accumulates long system memories, leading...

Geographic reasoning is a fundamental cognitive capability that requires models to infer plausible locations by synthesizing visual evidence with spatial world knowledge. Despite recent advances in large vision-language models (LVLMs), existing evaluation paradigms remain largely outcome-centric,...

Personalized Large Language Models (PLLMs) aim to align model outputs with individual user preferences, a crucial capability for user-centric applications. However, the prevalent approach of fine-tuning a separate module for each user faces two major limitations: (1) storage costs scale linearly...

Large language model (LLM) agents require long-term user memory for consistent personalization, but limited context windows hinder tracking evolving preferences over long interactions. Existing memory systems mainly rely on static, hand-crafted update rules; although reinforcement learning (RL)-b...

Deep Research agents driven by LLMs have automated the scholarly discovery pipeline, from planning and query formulation to iterative web exploration. Yet they remain constrained by a static, ''one-size-fits-all'' retrieval paradigm. Current systems fail to adaptively adjust the depth and breadth...
