On-policy self-distillation provides dense, token-level supervision by conditioning a model on privileged information and distilling the resulting teacher distribution back into the model. However, privileged information can change not only what the teacher knows, but also how…

Recent advances in Large Language Models (LLMs) have revolutionized artificial intelligence and how human interact with AIs. Despite impressive advancements, LLMs struggle with complex mathematical, scientific, and logical tasks. Inspired by human cognitive flexibility - our…

Auto-bidding is central to computational advertising, where strategies must maximize advertisers' conversion value under economic constraints. It has evolved from rule-based controllers to reinforcement learning and generative methods such as Decision Transformer (DT). Yet…

Sequential recommendation aims to predict the next item a user will interact with based on their historical behavior. Advances in Transformers have significantly improved sequential recommendation but are still limited by cost efficiency. Although State Space Models (SSMs) have…
