Optimizing VLP-aligned Multimodal Intent Representation with Correct Visual Instantiation for Zero-Shot Composed Image Retrieval

ZS-CIR aims to retrieve a target image from a reference image and a modification text without paired supervision, typically by encoding composed queries as text-dominant representations within the image-text matching space of VLPs. However, queries reconstructed by visual pseudo-word learning or MLLM-based target reaso...

Role of Personality in Conversational Information Seeking

Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly used for information seeking, where users find, compare, and evaluate information through dialogue. In this role, the assistant does more than retrieve or generate content: it shapes how users articulate constraints, ask follow-up questions, verify claims, and decide when a...

Can Generative Retrievers Learn Semantic IDs Without Forgetting How to Speak?

Generative retrieval (GR) enables end-to-end retrieval by generating document semantic identifiers (SIDs). However, retrieval-only fine-tuning can over-specialize pretrained language models to SID prediction, substantially distorting their natural-language distribution and limiting their suitability for interactive sys...

Aligning Human Sense: Calibrated Distributional Reward Learning for Video Generation

Video generation is central to AI-powered content creation. Aligning generated videos with human preferences is a key criterion for evaluating generation quality. Despite significant progress in visual quality, three key challenges remain. First, the reliability of reward signals is constrained by the quality of human...

Recommender System as Slow and Fast Thinkers

Experiments on five real-world datasets show that \textsc{DS-Frame} consistently improves representative sequential recommendation backbones, with larger gains on challenging groups and effective accuracy--efficiency trade-offs, highlighting the potential of adaptive inference for more efficient and robust recommendati...

A Comprehensive Review of Multimodal Facial State Analysis: Tasks, Methods, and Resources

This survey reviews core tasks, representative methods, and datasets in multimodal facial state analysis, focusing on facial expression recognition, AU detection, and face-based soft biometric estimation, and emphasizing the unique value of language in providing contextual semantics, enhancing reasoning, and generating...

Risk-Aware Reranking for Agentic Tool Retrieval

It is indicated that retrieval-stage filtering can reduce the candidate action space exposed to agents before execution, complementing downstream tool-use safeguards, and providing a conservative operating point for safety-critical deployments.

RecRec: Latent Interests Recursive Reasoning for Sequential Recommendation

Rec is proposed, an RL-free framework that decouples reasoning from prediction, overcoming the fixed d-dimensional state bottleneck of prior methods, and points to a decoupled, multi-vector recipe that unleashes latent reasoning from the single-state bottleneck of prior methods.
