Query-Conditioned Test-Time Self-Training for Large Language Models

Large language models (LLMs) are typically deployed with fixed parameters, and their performance is often improved by allocating more computation at inference time. While such test-time scaling can be effective, it cannot correct model misconceptions or adapt the model to the specific structure of an individual query. Test-time optimization addresses this limitation by enabling parameter updates during inference, but existing approaches either rely on external data or optimize generic self-supervised objectives that lack query-specific alignment. In this work, we propose Query-Conditioned Test-Time Self-Training (QueST), a framework that adapts model parameters during inference using supervision derived directly from the input query. Our key insight is that the input query itself encodes latent signals sufficient for constructing structurally related problem--solution pairs. Based on this, QueST generates such query-conditioned pairs and uses them as supervision for parameter-efficient fine-tuning at test time. The adapted model is then used to produce the final answer, enabling query-specific adaptation without any external data. Across seven mathematical reasoning benchmarks and the GPQA-Diamond scientific reasoning benchmark, QueST consistently outperforms strong test-time optimization baselines. These results demonstrate that query-conditioned self-training is an effective and practical paradigm for test-time adaptation in LLMs. Code is available at https://chssong.github.io/Query-Conditioned-TTST/.

REOcc: Camera-Radar Fusion with Radar Feature Enrichment for 3D Occupancy Prediction

Vision-based 3D occupancy prediction has made significant advancements, but its reliance on cameras alone struggles in challenging environments. This limitation has driven the adoption of sensor fusion, among which camera-radar fusion stands out as a promising solution due to their complementary strengths. However, the sparsity and noise of the radar data limits its effectiveness, leading to suboptimal fusion performance. In this paper, we propose REOcc, a novel camera-radar fusion network designed to enrich radar feature representations for 3D occupancy prediction. Our approach introduces two main components, a Radar Densifier and a Radar Amplifier, which refine radar features by integrating spatial and contextual information, effectively enhancing spatial density and quality. Extensive experiments on the Occ3D-nuScenes benchmark demonstrate that REOcc achieves significant performance gains over the camera-only baseline model, particularly in dynamic object classes. These results underscore REOcc's capability to mitigate the sparsity and noise of the radar data. Consequently, radar complements camera data more effectively, unlocking the full potential of camera-radar fusion for robust and reliable 3D occupancy prediction.
