arXiv:2603.06617v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We introduce \textbf{Evo}, a duality latent trajectory model that bridges autoregressive (AR) and diffusion-based language generation within a continuous evolutionary generative framework. Rather than treating AR decoding and diffusion generation as separate paradigms, Evo reconceptualizes text generation as a latent flow: each token is associated with a vector-valued embedding that evolves over a progression variable $t_i \in [0, 1]$, indicating its semantic maturity. Low $t_i$ values correspond to confident AR-like refinement, while high values invoke diffusion-style planning, allowing the model to adaptively balance AR and diffusion based on uncertainty. Theoretically, we show that both AR and diffusion models emerge as discretizations of a shared probability flow, and we derive Evo's training objective from a unified variational ELBO. The model is implemented as a time-conditioned Transformer governed by a shared vector field, trained end-to-end to jointly infer latent codes and their progression times. During decoding, Evo performs efficient, semantics-aware refinement, achieving high-quality outputs without sacrificing speed. Empirically, Evo 8B achieves state-of-the-art or highly competitive results on 15 diverse benchmarks, including reasoning (GSM8K, ARC-C), code generation (HumanEval, MBPP), and general language understanding, while maintaining fast inference speed. Our results demonstrate that Evo delivers a new paradigm for LLM design with strong generation quality, robust symbolic reasoning, and decoding efficiency.

arXiv:2603.07521v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: This work investigates large-scale sketch recognition from a graph-native perspective, where free-hand sketches are directly modeled as structured graphs rather than raster images or stroke sequences. We propose SketchGraphNet, a hybrid graph neural architecture that integrates local message passing with a memory-efficient global attention mechanism, without relying on auxiliary positional or structural encodings. To support systematic evaluation, we construct SketchGraph, a large-scale benchmark comprising 3.44 million graph-structured sketches across 344 categories, with two variants (A and R) to reflect different noise conditions. Each sketch is represented as a spatiotemporal graph with normalized stroke-order attributes. On SketchGraph-A and SketchGraph-R, SketchGraphNet achieves Top-1 accuracies of 83.62% and 87.61%, respectively, under a unified training configuration. MemEffAttn further reduces peak GPU memory by over 40% and training time by more than 30% compared with Performer-based global attention, while maintaining comparable accuracy.

arXiv:2603.07946v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Human mobility generation aims to synthesize plausible trajectory data, which is widely used in urban system research. While Large Language Model-based methods excel at generating routine trajectories, they struggle to capture deviated mobility during large-scale societal events. This limitation stems from two critical gaps: (1) the absence of event-annotated mobility datasets for design and evaluation, and (2) the inability of current frameworks to reconcile competitions between users' habitual patterns and event-imposed constraints when making trajectory decisions. This work addresses these gaps with a twofold contribution. First, we construct the first event-annotated mobility dataset covering three major events: Typhoon Hagibis, COVID-19, and the Tokyo 2021 Olympics. Second, we propose ELLMob, a self-aligned LLM framework that first extracts competing rationales between habitual patterns and event constraints, based on Fuzzy-Trace Theory, and then iteratively aligns them to generate trajectories that are both habitually grounded and event-responsive. Extensive experiments show that ELLMob wins state-of-the-art baselines across all events, demonstrating its effectiveness.

arXiv:2512.16301v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Large language model (LLM) agents are moving beyond prompting alone. ChatGPT marked the rise of general-purpose LLM assistants, DeepSeek showed that on-policy reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards can improve reasoning and tool use, and OpenClaw highlights a newer direction in which agents accumulate persistent memory and reusable skills. Yet the research landscape remains fragmented across post-training, retrieval, memory, and skill systems. This survey studies these developments under a single notion of \emph{adaptation}: improving an agent, its tools, or their interaction after pretraining. We organize the field with a four-paradigm framework spanning agent adaptation and tool adaptation. On the agent side, A1 (tool-execution-signaled) and A2 (agent-output-signaled) improve the agent itself through supervised fine-tuning, preference optimization, and reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards. On the tool side, T1 (agent-agnostic) provides reusable pre-trained modules any agent can call, while T2 (agent-supervised) uses the agent's outputs to train memory systems, skill libraries, or lightweight subagents. Using this framework, we review post-training methods, adaptive memory architectures, and agent skills; compare their trade-offs in cost, flexibility, and generalization; and summarize evaluation practices across deep research, software development, computer use, and drug discovery. We conclude by outlining open problems in agent-tool co-adaptation, continual learning, safety, and efficient deployment.

arXiv:2602.05474v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Motivation-based recommendation systems uncover user behavior drivers. Motivation modeling, crucial for decision-making and content preference, explains recommendation generation. Existing methods often treat motivation as latent variables from interaction data, neglecting heterogeneous information like review text. In multimodal motivation fusion, two challenges arise: 1) achieving stable cross-modal alignment amid noise, and 2) identifying features reflecting the same underlying motivation across modalities. To address these, we propose LLM-driven Motivation-aware Multimodal Recommendation (LMMRec), a model-agnostic framework leveraging large language models for deep semantic priors and motivation understanding. LMMRec uses chain-of-thought prompting to extract fine-grained user and item motivations from text. A dual-encoder architecture models textual and interaction-based motivations for cross-modal alignment, while Motivation Coordination Strategy and Interaction-Text Correspondence Method mitigate noise and semantic drift through contrastive learning and momentum updates. Experiments on three datasets show LMMRec achieves up to a 4.98\% performance improvement.
