Recent training-free pruning approaches for Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) effectively cut computational overhead by exploiting visual redundancy or text-vision attention. However, they frequently suffer from semantic degradation due to their task-agnostic design or unreliable attention estimates. Based on ou …

The two-dimensional irregular knapsack problem in a fixed circular container is an important combinatorial optimization problem for maximizing material utilization in manufacturing. Conventional geometric packing solvers can produce tightly packed layouts, yet they often partition the residual space into isolated small …

Video Large Language Models (VideoLLMs) have achieved strong video understanding capabilities but incur substantial inference overhead due to the large number of visual tokens. Existing VideoLLM token compression methods largely rely on selection-independent scoring, overlooking cross-frame complementarity and conseque …

Group-based reinforcement learning such as GRPO trains LLM agents by comparing rollouts sampled for each task, without a learned critic. In long-horizon settings, these rollouts revisit shared anchor states, offering cross-rollout evidence for step-level credit. Ideally, step-level credit should incorporate evidence be …

Group-based reinforcement learning (RL) has advanced large language models (LLMs) and is increasingly extending to agentic tasks, where sparse terminal rewards make step-level credit assignment essential. Existing methods assign credit from what follows an action in sampled rollouts, but do not explicitly capture its r …
