Adaptive Social Learning via Mode Policy Optimization for Language Agents

This paper proposes the Adaptive Social Learning (ASL) framework, featuring the Adaptive Mode Policy Optimization (AMPO) algorithm, to enable language agents to dynamically switch between intuitive and deliberative reasoning modes based on context, thereby achieving superior task performance and token efficiency compared to existing methods like GPT-4o and GRPO.

Talk to Your Slides: High-Efficiency Slide Editing via Language-Driven Structured Data Manipulation

This paper introduces "Talk to Your Slides," a high-efficiency slide editing agent that leverages language-driven structured data manipulation instead of visual perception to achieve faster, more accurate, and cost-effective text-centric and formatting modifications compared to Multimodal LLM-based GUI agents, supported by the newly proposed TSBench benchmark.

A Zipf-preserving, long-range correlated surrogate for written language and other symbolic sequences

This paper introduces a novel surrogate model that simultaneously preserves both the empirical symbol frequency distributions (such as Zipf's law) and the long-range correlation structures of symbolic sequences like language and DNA by mapping fractional Gaussian noise onto the original histogram, thereby enabling the disentanglement of structural features and the testing of scaling law origins.
