Reward Models (RMs) are critical components in the Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF) pipeline, directly determining the alignment quality of Large Language Models (LLMs). Recently, Generative Reward Models (GRMs) have emerged as a superior paradigm, offering higher interpretabilit...

Generative reward models (GRMs) have emerged as a promising approach for aligning Large Language Models (LLMs) with human preferences by offering greater representational capacity and flexibility than traditional scalar reward models. However, GRMs face two major challenges: reliance on costly hu...

Reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR) has proven effective in enhancing the reasoning of large language models (LLMs). Monte Carlo Tree Search (MCTS)-based extensions improve upon vanilla RLVR (e.g., GRPO) by providing tree-based reasoning rollouts that enable fine-grained and seg...

Agentic search has recently emerged as a powerful paradigm, where an agent interleaves multi-step reasoning with on-demand retrieval to solve complex questions. Despite its success, how to design a retriever for agentic search remains largely underexplored. Existing search agents typically rely o...

A fundamental challenge in creative writing lies in reconciling the inherent tension between maintaining global coherence in long-form narratives and preserving local expressiveness in short-form texts. While long-context generation necessitates explicit macroscopic planning, short-form creativit...

Multimodal embedding models, rooted in multimodal large language models (MLLMs), have yielded significant performance improvements across diverse tasks such as retrieval and classification. However, most existing approaches rely heavily on large-scale contrastive learning and offer limited explor...

In commercial web search, aligning content freshness with user intent remains challenging due to the highly varied lifespans of information. Traditional industrial approaches rely on static time-window filtering, resulting in ''one-size-fits-all'' rankings where content may be chronologically rec...

Query rewriting is a core component of web search, yet traditional methods mainly rely on large language model (LLM) prompting, fine-tuning, or personalized rewriting based on user history. These approaches often overlook population-level intent signals in large-scale query logs, leading to misal...
