Abstract:Driven by Artificial Intelligence-Generated Content (AIGC), the authenticity of audio-visual content is facing severe challenges. Temporal Forgery Localization (TFL) aims to precisely identify manipulated segments within untrimmed sequences. However, existing methods are limited by CNNs' local receptive fields or Transformers' quadratic complexity, while emerging linear models often struggle to balance global authentic context compression with local abrupt forgery perception. To address this, we propose MG-RWKV, a multi-granularity framework that leverages the data-dependent state evolution of RWKV to achieve efficient full-sequence processing with O(T) complexity. Our framework features three core innovations: (1) a Bidirectional RWKV architecture that captures bidirectional temporal contexts without quadratic overhead; (2) a Multi-Granularity Mixture of Experts (MG-MoE) that performs dynamic routing over explicit temporal receptive fields, adaptively selecting granularities based on forgery duration to significantly enhance decision interpretability; and (3) Cross-Granularity Consistency (CGC), which aligns adjacent feature pyramid levels through hierarchical scale-wise pairing and spatial boundary-aware weighting, effectively reducing false positives in authentic regions. Extensive experiments on Lav-DF, TVIL, and Psynd datasets demonstrate that MG-RWKV achieves state-of-the-art performance with low computational cost.
Abstract:Self-improving language agents are typically evaluated in isolation: an agent attempts a task, receives feedback, and iteratively refines its own behavior. Yet agents increasingly operate alongside peers whose strategies and outcomes are publicly visible. This raises an under-studied question: when does shared experience produce improvements that self-improvement alone cannot achieve? We introduce SAGE (Social Agent Group Evolution),an evaluation framework that compares two compute-matched conditions: SocialEvo, where agents from five distinct model families co-evolve with access to all peers' histories; and SelfEvo, where each agent receives the same number of task attempts but sees only its own past, which is conventional in self-improving agent studies. We instantiate SAGE in three arenas: open-ended ML research, long-horizon economic planning, and strategic multiplayer play, evaluated across multiple evolutionary rounds. We find that group history is not a universal amplifier: the strongest agent does not exceed its self-evolution ceiling. However, agents that plateau under self-improvement can achieve significant breakthroughs when peer experience is available. In competitive settings, counterfactual controls reveal that agents improve generally rather than developing opponent-specific strategies. Across different forms of shared history, filtered peer traces and reflective summaries often outperform raw logs, indicating that social gains depend on abstraction rather than exposure volume. These findings reveal that peer-history gains are agent-specific, arena-dependent, and contingent on the capacity to abstract transferable knowledge from public traces.
Abstract:Agent performance increasingly depends on \emph{harness engineering}, yet harness design is usually buried in controller code and runtime-specific conventions, making it hard to transfer, compare, and study as a scientific object. We ask whether the high-level control logic of an agent harness can instead be externalized as a portable executable artifact. We introduce \textbf{Natural-Language Agent Harnesses} (NLAHs), which express harness behavior in editable natural language, and \textbf{Intelligent Harness Runtime} (IHR), a shared runtime that executes these harnesses through explicit contracts, durable artifacts, and lightweight adapters. Across coding and computer-use benchmarks, we conduct controlled evaluations of operational viability, module ablation, and code-to-text harness migration.
Abstract:A reliable executable environment is the foundation for ensuring that large language models solve software engineering tasks. Due to the complex and tedious construction process, large-scale configuration is relatively inefficient. However, most methods always overlook fine-grained analysis of the actions performed by the agent, making it difficult to handle complex errors and resulting in configuration failures. To address this bottleneck, we propose EvoConfig, an efficient environment configuration framework that optimizes multi-agent collaboration to build correct runtime environments. EvoConfig features an expert diagnosis module for fine-grained post-execution analysis, and a self-evolving mechanism that lets expert agents self-feedback and dynamically adjust error-fixing priorities in real time. Empirically, EvoConfig matches the previous state-of-the-art Repo2Run on Repo2Run's 420 repositories, while delivering clear gains on harder cases: on the more challenging Envbench, EvoConfig achieves a 78.1% success rate, outperforming Repo2Run by 7.1%. Beyond end-to-end success, EvoConfig also demonstrates stronger debugging competence, achieving higher accuracy in error identification and producing more effective repair recommendations than existing methods.
