arXiv:2604.03649v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Accurate prediction of real-world pedestrian trajectories is crucial for a wide range of robot-related applications. Recent approaches typically adopt graph-based or transformer-based frameworks to model interactions. Despite their effectiveness, these methods either introduce unnecessary computational overhead or struggle to represent the diverse and time-varying characteristics of human interactions. In this work, we present an Adaptive Relational Transformer (ART), which introduces a Temporal-Aware Relation Graph (TARG) to explicitly capture the evolution of pairwise interactions and an Adaptive Interaction Pruning (AIP) mechanism to reduce redundant computations efficiently. Extensive evaluations on ETH/UCY and NBA benchmarks show that ART delivers state-of-the-art accuracy with high computational efficiency.

arXiv:2602.18734v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) has demonstrated strong effectiveness in knowledge-intensive tasks by grounding language generation in external evidence. Despite its success, many existing RAG systems are built based on a ranking-centric, asymmetric dependency paradigm, where the generation quality of the generator is highly dependent on reranking results of the reranker. To overcome this limitation, we reformulate RAG as a cooperative multi-agent decision-making problem and propose Cooperative Retrieval-Augmented Generation (CoRAG), a framework in which the reranker and the generator act as peer decision-makers rather than being connected through an asymmetric dependency pipeline. By jointly optimizing their behaviors toward a shared task objective, the reranker and generator are encouraged to cooperate, ensuring that document reranking and generation work in concert to improve the final response. Experimental results demonstrate good generalization and improved generation stability of CoRAG, even when the model is trained on only around 10K PopQA samples.
