| Challenge: | Large Language Models (LLMs) can be used to broaden user experiences beyond established preferences and reinforce feedback loops. |
| Approach: | They propose a hierarchical approach that combines hierarchic planning with LLM inference-time scaling to improve recommendation relevancy without compromising novelty. |
| Outcome: | The proposed approach shows significant gains in both user satisfaction and exploration diversity. |
Generating Instructions at Different Levels of Abstraction (2020.coling-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Using hierarchical planning, technical instructions can be described at different levels of abstraction. |
| Approach: | They propose a method from AI planning which can capture the structure of complex objects neatly. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method can capture the structure of complex objects neatly. |
A Cognitive Writing Perspective for Constrained Long-Form Text Generation (2025.findings-acl)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Large Language Models struggle to generate high-quality long-form text in a single pass . a new framework that trains LLMs to write human-like writing capabilities is needed . |
| Approach: | They propose a framework that equips large language models with human-like cognitive writing capabilities . they use a planning agent and multiple Generation Agents to generate long-form text in parallel . |
| Outcome: | CogWriter surpasses GPT-4o by 22% in complex instruction completion accuracy . the framework can generate coherent text in a single pass with fluency that rivals human writers . |

| Challenge: | Existing LLM-based tools struggle with insufficient assessment cues, weak narrative coherence, limited stylistic diversity, and poor support for creative thinking. |
| Approach: | They propose an evolutionary tree-based psychometric context generator that integrates rule-guided outline planning, sentence-level MCTS generation, MAP-Elites quality-diversity optimization and assessment-guide refiner simulation. |
| Outcome: | The proposed tool outperforms strong LLMs and structured frameworks on 7 evaluation dimensions and shows higher alignment with expert-designed contexts. |
