In-Context Reinforcement Learning for Tool Use in Large Language Models

This paper proposes In-Context Reinforcement Learning (ICRL), a novel framework that eliminates the need for supervised fine-tuning by leveraging few-shot prompting during reinforcement learning rollouts to progressively teach large language models how to effectively use external tools, ultimately achieving state-of-the-art performance in a data-efficient, zero-shot manner.

TALON: Test-time Adaptive Learning for On-the-Fly Category Discovery

The paper proposes TALON, a test-time adaptive learning framework for on-the-fly category discovery that overcomes the limitations of static hash-based methods by dynamically updating semantic prototypes and the feature encoder to continuously integrate new knowledge, while employing margin-aware logit calibration to prevent category explosion and significantly improve novel-class accuracy.

Why Large Language Models can Secretly Outperform Embedding Similarity in Information Retrieval

Although the study finds that Large Language Model-based relevance judgment systems do not outperform embedding-based retrieval on standard TREC-DL 2019 benchmarks due to the short-sightedness inherent in human annotations, it argues that these models possess the theoretical capability to surpass embedding methods by better understanding relevance through reasoning.
