TIDE-Bench: Task-Aware and Diagnostic Evaluation of Tool-Integrated Reasoning

Tool-integrated reasoning has emerged as a promising paradigm for enhancing large language models with external computation, retrieval, and execution capabilities. However, the field still lacks a high-quality and unified evaluation benchmark, and existing TIR evaluations remain limited in dataset quality, task diversity, diagnostic comprehensiveness, and evaluation efficiency. In this work, we introduce TIDE-Bench, a holistic and efficient benchmark for evaluating TIR methods, featuring three key advantages. First, it provides diverse task settings, combining widely used mathematical reasoning and knowledge-intensive QA tasks with two newly designed tasks, namely the tool-grounded experimental design task and the dynamic interactive task, to probe models' abilities in complex tool invocation and multi-tool coordination. Second, TIDE-Bench adopts a comprehensive yet task-aware evaluation protocol, jointly measuring final answer quality, process reliability, tool-use efficiency, and inference cost across heterogeneous task settings. Third, TIDE-Bench constructs high-quality and discriminative evaluation sets by filtering low-discrimination instances from existing datasets, substantially reducing evaluation cost while focusing on more challenging samples. Extensive experiments on multiple foundation models and TIR methods reveal persistent bottlenecks in tool grounding, offering insights for future TIR research.

Bootstrapping Informative Graph Augmentation via A Meta Learning Approach

Recent works explore learning graph representations in a self-supervised manner. In graph contrastive learning, benchmark methods apply various graph augmentation approaches. However, most of the augmentation methods are non-learnable, which causes the issue of generating unbeneficial augmented graphs. Such augmentation may degenerate the representation ability of graph contrastive learning methods. Therefore, we motivate our method to generate augmented graph by a learnable graph augmenter, called MEta Graph Augmentation (MEGA). We then clarify that a "good" graph augmentation must have uniformity at the instance-level and informativeness at the feature-level. To this end, we propose a novel approach to learning a graph augmenter that can generate an augmentation with uniformity and informativeness. The objective of the graph augmenter is to promote our feature extraction network to learn a more discriminative feature representation, which motivates us to propose a meta-learning paradigm. Empirically, the experiments across multiple benchmark datasets demonstrate that MEGA outperforms the state-of-the-art methods in graph self-supervised learning tasks. Further experimental studies prove the effectiveness of different terms of MEGA.

Interventional Contrastive Learning with Meta Semantic Regularizer

Contrastive learning (CL)-based self-supervised learning models learn visual representations in a pairwise manner. Although the prevailing CL model has achieved great progress, in this paper, we uncover an ever-overlooked phenomenon: When the CL model is trained with full images, the performance tested in full images is better than that in foreground areas; when the CL model is trained with foreground areas, the performance tested in full images is worse than that in foreground areas. This observation reveals that backgrounds in images may interfere with the model learning semantic information and their influence has not been fully eliminated. To tackle this issue, we build a Structural Causal Model (SCM) to model the background as a confounder. We propose a backdoor adjustment-based regularization method, namely Interventional Contrastive Learning with Meta Semantic Regularizer (ICL-MSR), to perform causal intervention towards the proposed SCM. ICL-MSR can be incorporated into any existing CL methods to alleviate background distractions from representation learning. Theoretically, we prove that ICL-MSR achieves a tighter error bound. Empirically, our experiments on multiple benchmark datasets demonstrate that ICL-MSR is able to improve the performances of different state-of-the-art CL methods.

Robust Local Preserving and Global Aligning Network for Adversarial Domain Adaptation

Unsupervised domain adaptation (UDA) requires source domain samples with clean ground truth labels during training. Accurately labeling a large number of source domain samples is time-consuming and laborious. An alternative is to utilize samples with noisy labels for training. However, training with noisy labels can greatly reduce the performance of UDA. In this paper, we address the problem that learning UDA models only with access to noisy labels and propose a novel method called robust local preserving and global aligning network (RLPGA). RLPGA improves the robustness of the label noise from two aspects. One is learning a classifier by a robust informative-theoretic-based loss function. The other is constructing two adjacency weight matrices and two negative weight matrices by the proposed local preserving module to preserve the local topology structures of input data. We conduct theoretical analysis on the robustness of the proposed RLPGA and prove that the robust informative-theoretic-based loss and the local preserving module are beneficial to reduce the empirical risk of the target domain. A series of empirical studies show the effectiveness of our proposed RLPGA.
