Experience-driven Multi-turn Reinforcement Learning for GUI Agents (2026.acl-long)

Copied to clipboard

Challenge: GUI agents have demonstrated remarkable progress in automating complex user interface interactions . training such agents for long-horizon tasks remains challenging due to limited rewards and prohibitive costs.
Approach: They propose a method that leverages expert trajectories as environment experiences for on-policy multi-turn training.
Outcome: The proposed method achieves significant gains over the base model with 1K public trajectories as RL experiences . it achieves competitive performance against strong baselines such as UI-TARS-7B and GPT-4o .
End-to-End Beam Retrieval for Multi-Hop Question Answering (2024.naacl-long)

Copied to clipboard

Challenge: Existing beam retrieval frameworks for multi-hop question answering were customized for two-hop questions and were poorly supervised.
Approach: They propose an end-to-end beam retrieval framework for multi-hop question answering . they combine an encoder and two classification heads to optimize the retrieval process .
Outcome: The proposed framework improves on MuSiQue-Ans and surpasses all previous retrievers on HotpotQA and achieves 99.9% precision on 2WikiMultiHopQA.
Lost in Pronunciation: Detecting Chinese Offensive Language Disguised by Phonetic Cloaking Replacement (2025.emnlp-industry)

Copied to clipboard

Challenge: Phonetic Cloaking Replacement (PCR) is a problem in content moderation in China.
Approach: They organize PCR into a four-way surface-form taxonomy and compile PCR-ToxiCN, a dataset of 500 phonetically cloaked offensive posts gathered from the RedNote platform.
Outcome: The proposed model achieves only an F1-score and zero-shot chain-of-thought prompting pushes performance even lower.
DRAGON: Domain-specific Robust Automatic Data Generation for RAG Optimization (2026.findings-eacl)

Copied to clipboard

Challenge: Existing retrieval-augmented generation paradigms rely heavily on public knowledge . Existing RAGs reliant on public information and often falter when faced with domain-specific queries.
Approach: They propose a framework that combines a data-construction modeling approach with a scalable synthetic data-generation pipeline to optimize domain-specific retrieval performance.
Outcome: The proposed framework optimizes domain-specific retrieval performance and bolsters retriever robustness.
You Never Know a Person, You Only Know Their Defenses: Detecting Levels of Psychological Defense Mechanisms in Supportive Conversations (2026.findings-acl)

Copied to clipboard

Challenge: Psychological defenses are strategies people use to manage distress.
Approach: They propose a dialogue corpus with help seeker utterances labeled for defense level and a DMRS Co-Pilot pipeline that provides evidence-based pre-annotations.
Outcome: The proposed framework reduces annotation time by 24.0% in a counterbalanced study.
ModelScope-Agent: Building Your Customizable Agent System with Open-source Large Language Models (2023.emnlp-demo)

Copied to clipboard

Challenge: Large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated remarkable capabilities to comprehend human intentions, engage in reasoning, and design planning-like behavior.
Approach: They propose a framework that equips large language models with tool-use capabilities . they propose LLaMA and Chat-GLM as controllers, and a model-based agent framework .
Outcome: The proposed framework equips open-source LLMs with tool-use capabilities . it provides a user-friendly system library with a customizable engine design .
