IA-T2I Framework: Enhancing Text-to-Image Models’ Ability to Handle Uncertain Knowledge Using the Internet: To address the shortcomings of existing text-to-image models in handling text prompts containing uncertain knowledge (such as recent events, rare concepts), the IA-T2I (Internet-Augmented Text-to-Image Generation) framework has been proposed. This framework uses an active retrieval module to determine if reference images are needed, a hierarchical image selection module to pick the most suitable images from search engine results to enhance the T2I model, and a self-reflection mechanism to continuously evaluate and optimize generated images. On the specially constructed Img-Ref-T2I dataset, IA-T2I outperformed GPT-4o by about 30% (human evaluation) (Source: HuggingFace Daily Papers)
MoI (Mixture of Inputs) Improves Autoregressive Generation Quality and Reasoning Ability: To address the issue of discarding token distribution information during standard autoregressive generation, researchers proposed the Mixture of Inputs (MoI) method. This method requires no additional training. After generating a token, it mixes the generated discrete token with the previously discarded token distribution to construct a new input. Through Bayesian estimation, the token distribution is treated as a prior, and the sampled token as an observation, replacing the traditional one-hot vector with a continuous posterior expectation as the new model input. MoI has consistently improved the performance of multiple models, including Qwen-32B and Nemotron-Super-49B, on tasks such as mathematical reasoning, code generation, and PhD-level question answering (Source: HuggingFace Daily Papers)

Experiments show that ConvSearch-R1 significantly outperforms previous SOTA methods on the TopiOCQA and QReCC datasets (Source: HuggingFace Daily Papers)
ASRR Framework Achieves Efficient Adaptive Reasoning for Large Language Models: To address the problem of excessive computational overhead caused by redundant reasoning in Large Reasoning Models (LRMs) on simple tasks, researchers have proposed the Adaptive Self-Recovery Reasoning (ASRR) framework. This framework suppresses unnecessary reasoning by revealing the model’s “internal self-recovery mechanism” (implicitly supplementing reasoning during answer generation) and introduces an accuracy-aware length reward adjustment to adaptively allocate reasoning effort based on question difficulty. Experiments show that ASRR can significantly reduce the reasoning budget and improve the harmlessness rate on safety benchmarks with minimal performance loss (Source: HuggingFace Daily Papers)
MoT (Mixture-of-Thought) Framework Enhances Logical Reasoning Capabilities: Inspired by humans utilizing multiple reasoning modalities (natural language, code, symbolic logic) to solve logical problems, researchers have proposed the Mixture-of-Thought (MoT) framework. MoT enables LLMs to reason across three complementary modalities, including a newly introduced truth-table symbolic modality. Through a two-stage design (self-evolving MoT training and MoT inference), MoT significantly outperforms single-modality chain-of-thought methods on logical reasoning benchmarks like FOLIO and ProofWriter, with an average accuracy improvement of up to 11.7% (Source: HuggingFace Daily Papers)
RL Tango: Co-training Generator and Verifier via Reinforcement Learning to Enhance Language Reasoning: To address issues of reward hacking and poor generalization in existing LLM reinforcement learning methods where the verifier (reward model) is fixed or supervised fine-tuned, the RL Tango framework has been proposed. This framework interleavingly trains both an LLM generator and a generative, process-level LLM verifier simultaneously via reinforcement learning. The verifier is trained solely based on outcome-level correctness rewards, without requiring process-level annotations, thus forming an effective mutual promotion with the generator. Experiments show that Tango’s generator and verifier both achieve SOTA performance in 7B/8B scale models (Source: HuggingFace Daily Papers)
pPE: Prior Prompt Engineering Boosts Reinforcement Fine-Tuning (RFT): Research explores the role of prior prompt engineering (pPE) in reinforcement fine-tuning (RFT). Unlike inference-time prompt engineering (iPE), pPE prepends instructions (e.g., step-by-step reasoning) to queries during the training phase to guide language models to internalize specific behaviors. Experiments converted five iPE strategies (reasoning, planning, code reasoning, knowledge recall, null-example utilization) into pPE methods, applied to Qwen2.5-7B. Results show that all pPE-trained models outperformed their iPE counterparts, with null-example pPE showing the largest improvements on benchmarks like AIME2024 and GPQA-Diamond, revealing pPE as an under-explored yet effective technique in RFT (Source: HuggingFace Daily Papers)
BiasLens: LLM Bias Evaluation Framework Without Human-Crafted Test Sets: To address the limitations of existing LLM bias evaluation methods that rely on manually constructed labeled data and have limited coverage, the BiasLens framework has been proposed. This framework, starting from the model’s vector space structure, combines Concept Activation Vectors (CAVs) and Sparse Autoencoders (SAEs) to extract interpretable concept representations. It quantifies bias by measuring changes in representation similarity between target concepts and reference concepts. BiasLens shows strong consistency (Spearman correlation r > 0.85) with traditional bias evaluation metrics in the absence of labeled data and can reveal forms of bias difficult to detect with existing methods (Source: HuggingFace Daily Papers)

The benchmark first constructs the AJailBench-Base dataset containing 1495 adversarial audio prompts, covering 10 violation categories. Evaluations based on this dataset show that existing SOTA LAMs do not exhibit consistent robustness. To simulate more realistic attacks, researchers developed an Audio Perturbation Toolkit (APT), generating an extended dataset AJailBench-APT by searching for subtle yet effective perturbations via Bayesian optimization. The study shows that minor, semantically preserved perturbations can significantly reduce the security performance of LAMs (Source: HuggingFace Daily Papers)
WebNovelBench: A Benchmark for Evaluating LLMs’ Long-form Novel Writing Capabilities: To address the challenges of evaluating LLMs’ long-form narrative capabilities, WebNovelBench has been proposed.
