GraSP: Graph-Structured Skill Compositions for LLM Agents

Skill ecosystems for LLM agents have matured rapidly, yet recent benchmarks show that providing agents with more skills does not monotonically improve performance -- focused sets of 2-3 skills outperform comprehensive documentation, and excessive skills actually hurt. The bottleneck has shifted from skill availability to skill orchestration: agents need not more skills, but a structural mechanism to select, compose, and execute them with explicit causal dependencies. We propose GraSP, the first executable skill graph architecture that introduces a compilation layer between skill retrieval and execution. GraSP transforms flat skill sets into typed directed acyclic graphs (DAGs) with precondition-effect edges, executes them with node-level verification, and performs locality-bounded repair through five typed operators -- reducing replanning from O(N) to O(d^h). Across ALFWorld, ScienceWorld, WebShop, and InterCode with eight LLM backbones, GraSP outperforms ReAct, Reflexion, ExpeL, and flat skill baselines in every configuration, improving reward by up to +19 points over the strongest baseline while cutting environment steps by up to 41%. GraSP's advantage grows with task complexity and is robust to both skill over-retrieval and quality degradation, confirming that structured orchestration -- not larger skill libraries -- is the key to reliable agent execution.

CFMS: A Coarse-to-Fine Multimodal Synthesis Framework for Enhanced Tabular Reasoning

Reasoning over tabular data is a crucial capability for tasks like question answering and fact verification, as it requires models to comprehend both free-form questions and semi-structured tables. However, while methods like Chain-of-Thought (CoT) introduce reasoning chains, purely symbolic methodes are inherently limited by their blindness to holistic visual patterns. To address this, we propose the Coarse-to-Fine Multimodal Synthesis framework (CFMS), a novel two-stage paradigm that hierarchically decouples high-level visual perception from granular symbolic reasoning. In the Coarse Stage, CFMS leverages the Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) to perform a one-time synthesis of a multi-perspective knowledge tuple. This tuple subsequently serves as a dynamic reasoning map to guide the fine stage, where a symbolic engine executes a targeted and efficient sequence of iterative operations over the table. Extensive experiments on the WikiTQ and TabFact benchmarks demonstrate that CFMS achieves competitive accuracy. The framework exhibits particular robustness when handling large tables and when instantiated with smaller backbone models, validating its effectiveness and generalizability.

PointRFT: Explicit Reinforcement Fine-tuning for Point Cloud Few-shot Learning

Understanding spatial dynamics and semantics in point cloud is fundamental for comprehensive 3D comprehension. While reinforcement learning algorithms such as Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO) have recently achieved remarkable breakthroughs in large language models by incentivizing reasoning capabilities through strategic reward design, their potential remains largely unexplored in the 3D perception domain. This naturally raises a pivotal question: Can RL-based methods effectively empower 3D point cloud fine-tuning? In this paper, we propose PointRFT, the first reinforcement fine-tuning paradigm tailored specifically for point cloud representation learning. We select three prevalent 3D foundation models and devise specialized accuracy reward and dispersion reward functions to stabilize training and mitigate distribution shifts. Through comprehensive few-shot classification experiments comparing distinct training paradigms, we demonstrate that PointRFT consistently outperforms vanilla supervised fine-tuning (SFT) across diverse benchmarks. Furthermore, when organically integrated into a hybrid Pretraining-SFT-RFT paradigm, the representational capacity of point cloud foundation models is substantially unleashed, achieving state-of-the-art performance particularly under data-scarce scenarios.

PersonalQ: Select, Quantize, and Serve Personalized Diffusion Models for Efficient Inference

Personalized text-to-image generation lets users fine-tune diffusion models into repositories of concept-specific checkpoints, but serving these repositories efficiently is difficult for two reasons: natural-language requests are often ambiguous and can be misrouted to visually similar checkpoints, and standard post-training quantization can distort the fragile representations that encode personalized concepts. We present PersonalQ, a unified framework that connects checkpoint selection and quantization through a shared signal -- the checkpoint's trigger token. Check-in performs intent-aligned selection by combining intent-aware hybrid retrieval with LLM-based reranking over checkpoint context and asks a brief clarification question only when multiple intents remain plausible; it then rewrites the prompt by inserting the selected checkpoint's canonical trigger. Complementing this, Trigger-Aware Quantization (TAQ) applies trigger-aware mixed precision in cross-attention, preserving trigger-conditioned key/value rows (and their attention weights) while aggressively quantizing the remaining pathways for memory-efficient inference. Experiments show that PersonalQ improves intent alignment over retrieval and reranking baselines, while TAQ consistently offers a stronger compression-quality trade-off than prior diffusion PTQ methods, enabling scalable serving of personalized checkpoints without sacrificing fidelity.

CMHANet: A Cross-Modal Hybrid Attention Network for Point Cloud Registration

Robust point cloud registration is a fundamental task in 3D computer vision and geometric deep learning, essential for applications such as large-scale 3D reconstruction, augmented reality, and scene understanding. However, the performance of established learning-based methods often degrades in complex, real world scenarios characterized by incomplete data, sensor noise, and low overlap regions. To address these limitations, we propose CMHANet, a novel Cross-Modal Hybrid Attention Network. Our method integrates the fusion of rich contextual information from 2D images with the geometric detail of 3D point clouds, yielding a comprehensive and resilient feature representation. Furthermore, we introduce an innovative optimization function based on contrastive learning, which enforces geometric consistency and significantly improves the model's robustness to noise and partial observations. We evaluated CMHANet on the 3DMatch and the challenging 3DLoMatch datasets. \rev{Additionally, zero-shot evaluations on the TUM RGB-D SLAM dataset verify the model's generalization capability to unseen domains.} The experimental results demonstrate that our method achieves substantial improvements in both registration accuracy and overall robustness, outperforming current techniques. We also release our code in \href{https://github.com/DongXu-Zhang/CMHANet}{https://github.com/DongXu-Zhang/CMHANet}.

Robust Regularized Policy Iteration under Transition Uncertainty

Offline reinforcement learning (RL) enables data-efficient and safe policy learning without online exploration, but its performance often degrades under distribution shift. The learned policy may visit out-of-distribution state-action pairs where value estimates and learned dynamics are unreliable. To address policy-induced extrapolation and transition uncertainty in a unified framework, we formulate offline RL as robust policy optimization, treating the transition kernel as a decision variable within an uncertainty set and optimizing the policy against the worst-case dynamics. We propose Robust Regularized Policy Iteration (RRPI), which replaces the intractable max-min bilevel objective with a tractable KL-regularized surrogate and derives an efficient policy iteration procedure based on a robust regularized Bellman operator. We provide theoretical guarantees by showing that the proposed operator is a $γ$-contraction and that iteratively updating the surrogate yields monotonic improvement of the original robust objective with convergence. Experiments on D4RL benchmarks demonstrate that RRPI achieves strong average performance, outperforming recent baselines including percentile-based methods such as PMDB on the majority of environments while remaining competitive on the rest. Moreover, RRPI exhibits robust behavior. The learned $Q$-values decrease in regions with higher epistemic uncertainty, suggesting that the resulting policy avoids unreliable out-of-distribution actions under transition uncertainty.

Not All Queries Need Deep Thought: CoFiCot for Adaptive Coarse-to-fine Stateful Refinement

Scaling test-time computation enhances LLM reasoning ability but faces a uniform computation paradox. Allocating identical resources leads to over-correction on simple tasks and insufficient refinement on complex ones. To address this, we propose CoFiCot, a coarse-to-fine adaptive framework that dynamically tailors inference strategies to problem difficulty. Specifically, we implement a multi-metric classifier that triages queries by synthesizing semantic entropy, consensus reliability, and predicted reasoning depth . This enables a differentiated refinement stage that applies efficient aggregation for simple queries while routing complex ones to a context-aware correction loop . We formalize correction as a stateful sequential propagation process , where each repair is strictly conditioned on the verified history of prior rectifications. By integrating Process Reward Models (PRMs) within this state-dependent trajectory, CoFiCot effectively bridges the gap between granular error localization and global logical coherence, preventing the context fragmentation typical of stateless refinement methods.

PointCoT: A Multi-modal Benchmark for Explicit 3D Geometric Reasoning

While Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) demonstrate proficiency in 2D scenes, extending their perceptual intelligence to 3D point cloud understanding remains a significant challenge. Current approaches focus primarily on aligning 3D features with pre-trained models. However, they typically treat geometric reasoning as an implicit mapping process. These methods bypass intermediate logical steps and consequently suffer from geometric hallucinations. They confidently generate plausible responses that fail to ground in precise structural details. To bridge this gap, we present PointCoT, a novel framework that empowers MLLMs with explicit Chain-of-Thought (CoT) reasoning for 3D data. We advocate for a \textit{Look, Think, then Answer} paradigm. In this approach, the model is supervised to generate geometry-grounded rationales before predicting final answers. To facilitate this, we construct Point-Reason-Instruct, a large-scale benchmark comprising $\sim$86k instruction-tuning samples with hierarchical CoT annotations. By leveraging a dual-stream multi-modal architecture, our method synergizes semantic appearance with geometric truth. Extensive experiments demonstrate that PointCoT achieves state-of-the-art performance on complex reasoning tasks.

Search-P1: Path-Centric Reward Shaping for Stable and Efficient Agentic RAG Training

Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) enhances large language models (LLMs) by incorporating external knowledge, yet traditional single-round retrieval struggles with complex multi-step reasoning. Agentic RAG addresses this by enabling LLMs to dynamically decide when and what to retrieve, but current RL-based training methods suffer from sparse outcome rewards that discard intermediate signals and low sample efficiency where failed samples contribute nothing. We propose Search-P1, a framework that introduces path-centric reward shaping for agentic RAG training, comprising two key components: (1) Path-Centric Reward, which evaluates the structural quality of reasoning trajectories through order-agnostic step coverage and soft scoring that extracts learning signals even from failed samples, and (2) Dual-Track Path Scoring with offline-generated reference planners that assesses paths from both self-consistency and reference-alignment perspectives. Experiments on multiple QA benchmarks demonstrate that Search-P1 achieves significant improvements over Search-R1 and other strong baselines, with an average accuracy gain of 7.7 points.

Align then Adapt: Rethinking Parameter-Efficient Transfer Learning in 4D Perception

Point cloud video understanding is critical for robotics as it accurately encodes motion and scene interaction. We recognize that 4D datasets are far scarcer than 3D ones, which hampers the scalability of self-supervised 4D models. A promising alternative is to transfer 3D pre-trained models to 4D perception tasks. However, rigorous empirical analysis reveals two critical limitations that impede transfer capability: overfitting and the modality gap. To overcome these challenges, we develop a novel "Align then Adapt" (PointATA) paradigm that decomposes parameter-efficient transfer learning into two sequential stages. Optimal-transport theory is employed to quantify the distributional discrepancy between 3D and 4D datasets, enabling our proposed point align embedder to be trained in Stage 1 to alleviate the underlying modality gap. To mitigate overfitting, an efficient point-video adapter and a spatial-context encoder are integrated into the frozen 3D backbone to enhance temporal modeling capacity in Stage 2. Notably, with the above engineering-oriented designs, PointATA enables a pre-trained 3D model without temporal knowledge to reason about dynamic video content at a smaller parameter cost compared to previous work. Extensive experiments show that PointATA can match or even outperform strong full fine-tuning models, whilst enjoying the advantage of parameter efficiency, e.g. 97.21 \% accuracy on 3D action recognition, $+8.7 \%$ on 4 D action segmentation, and 84.06\% on 4D semantic segmentation.
