Mitigating Video Hallucinations via Attention-Guided Representation Perturbation

Video large language models (Video LLMs) often generate responses unsupported by the input video. Contrastive decoding (CD) can mitigate these hallucinations, but its effectiveness depends on how the negative branch weakens visual evidence. Existing methods rely on predefined perturbations or masking guided by question...

CircuitLens: Reasoning Circuits as Data Selection Signals for Reinforcement Learning with Verifiable Rewards

CRS is introduced, a selection signal derived from 46 reasoning-sensitive attention heads identified via contrastive ablation, computed in a single forward pass on the frozen base model without reward labels or rollouts, which runs against the intuitive hypothesis that stronger reasoning-circuit engagement produces bet...

What We Talk About When We Talk About LLM Planning: Evidence for Two Distinct Planning Abilities

When LLMs exhibit uneven performance across planning tasks, these gaps are often attributed to task difficulty. We argue that this explanation is incomplete, as task-level variation may reflect distinct latent planning competencies rather than differences along a single ability spectrum. We study this question on ACPBe...

A Learning-Rate-Gated Failure of GRPO in a Small Language and Vision-Language Model Web Agent: A Controlled Null and Its Mechanism

This work asks whether it adds skill to a small language and vision-language model web agent at the 4B to 8B scale, or whether it mostly reshapes behavior the supervised model already has, and explains the failure of GRPO.

MAG: A Web-Agent Benchmark and Harness for Multimodal Action and Guide Generation

MAG is introduced, the first benchmark that unifies task execution and guide writing into a single Multimodal Action and Guide task, with two grounding schemes over screenshots: Set-of-Mark element selection and raw pixel coordinates.
