RAVEN: Robust Advertisement Video Violation Temporal Grounding via Reinforcement Reasoning (2025.acl-industry)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing methods for detecting ads video violations lack precise temporal grounding, noisy annotations, and limited generalization. |
| Approach: | They propose a framework that integrates curriculum reinforcement learning with large language models to enhance reasoning and cognitive capabilities for violation detection. |
| Outcome: | The proposed framework achieves superior performance in violation category accuracy and temporal interval localization. |

| Challenge: | Existing retrieval-augmented code generation methods fail to accurately fetch the knowledge required for code generation for consecutive code fragments. |
| Approach: | They propose a paradigm that enables large language models to Self-express their information needs to enhance retrieval-augmented code generation methods. |
| Outcome: | Experiments show that SelfRACG can retrieve external knowledge that better aligns with the LLM’s own information needs, resulting in superior generation performance compared to vanilla RACG. |
LOHRec: Leveraging Order and Hierarchy in Generative Sequential Recommendation (2025.findings-emnlp)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | generative recommenders focus on maximizing the prediction probability of the next item in the temporal sequence, ignoring diverse potential items. |
| Approach: | They propose a learning framework that leverages order and hierarchy in generative recommendation using quantized identifiers to further explore performance ceiling of lightweight generative recommenders. |
| Outcome: | The proposed learning framework outperforms strong prior baselines across multiple datasets. |

Deyi Ji, Yuekui Yang, Liqun Liu, Peng Shu, Haiyang Wu, Shaogang Tang, Xudong Chen, Shaoping Ma, Tianrun Chen, Lanyun Zhu
| Challenge: | Recent advances in large language models have improved the detection of non-compliant content, but critical gaps persist in fine-grained understanding, explainability, and generalization. |
| Approach: | They propose a framework that combines active reinforcement learning, fine-grained violation understanding and progressive multi-stage training. |
| Outcome: | The proposed framework outperforms general-purpose LLMs and specialized models in fine-grained violation understanding, explainability, and generalization. |
Augmenting Multi-Agent Communication with State Delta Trajectory (2025.emnlp-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Multi-agent systems based on large language models (LLMs) have shown to be effective in downstream tasks. |
| Approach: | They propose a protocol that transfers both natural language tokens and token-wise state transition trajectory from one agent to another. |
| Outcome: | The proposed protocol can transfer both natural language tokens and token-wise state transition trajectory from one agent to another. |
Prompt Refinement with Image Pivot for Text-to-Image Generation (2024.acl-long)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Recent advances in text-to-image generation have markedly expanded the boundaries of digital artistry, enabling the creation of visually compelling images with unprecedented ease. |
| Approach: | They propose to decompose the prompt refinement process into two tasks: inferring user-preferred images from user languages and translating them into system languages. |
| Outcome: | Experiments show that PRIP outperforms baselines and transfers to unseen systems in a zero-shot manner. |
