Large language model (LLM)-based self-evolving search is a promising approach to scientific discovery. However, high-fidelity evaluation of every candidate is prohibitively expensive in some domains. Self-evolving systems in such settings therefore rely on low-cost but imperfect proxy rewards, which may assign high sco …
As the use of large language models (LLMs) expands, post-training has become increasingly important for adapting them to downstream tasks. However, obtaining reliable supervision remains costly, especially in domains without reference answers or executable verifiers. LLM-as-a-Judge provides scalable pseudo-rewards for …
Causal foundation models (CFMs) pre-trained on data generated from various structural causal models (SCMs) have been proposed for estimating causal effects from observational data. However, differences in pre-training environments and evaluation protocols make it difficult to assess how their performance depends on the …
