AutoL2S: Auto Long-Short Reasoning for Efficient Large Language Models

Reasoning-capable large language models (LLMs) achieve strong performance on complex tasks but often exhibit overthinking after distillation, generating unnecessarily long chain-of-thought (CoT) reasoning even for simple inputs and incurring high inference cost. However, naively shortening reasoning length can degrade reasoning accuracy, as concise reasoning may be insufficient for certain inputs and lacks explicit supervision. We propose Auto Long-Short Reasoning (AutoL2S), a distillation framework that empowers non-reasoning LLMs to think thoroughly but only when necessary. AutoL2S first learns a lightweight switching token with verified long-short CoTs to enable instance-wise long-short reasoning selection. Then it leverages long-short reasoning rollouts induced by a switching token in a GRPO-style loss to improve reasoning efficiency while maintaining accuracy. Experiments demonstrate that AutoL2S effectively reduces reasoning length up to 71% with minimal accuracy loss, yielding markedly better trade-off in token length and inference time while preserving accuracy.

Extrinsic Vector Field Processing

We propose a novel discretization of tangent vector fields for triangle meshes. Starting with a Phong map continuously assigning normals to all points on the mesh, we define an extrinsic bases for continuous tangent vector fields by using the Rodrigues rotation to transport tangent vectors assigned to vertices to tangent vectors in the interiors of the triangles. As our vector fields are continuous and weakly differentiable, we can use them to define a covariant derivative field that is evaluatable almost-everywhere on the mesh. Decomposing the covariant derivative in terms of diagonal multiple of the identity, anti-symmetric, and trace-less symmetric components, we can define the standard operators used for vector field processing including the Hodge Laplacian energy, Connection Laplacian energy, and Killing energy. Additionally, the ability to perform point-wise evaluation of the covariant derivative also makes it possible for us to define the Lie bracket.

SkillsVote: Lifecycle Governance of Agent Skills from Collection, Recommendation to Evolution

Long-horizon LLM agents leave traces that could become reusable experience, but raw trajectories are noisy and hard to govern. We treat Agent Skills as an experience schema that couples executable scripts, with non-executable guidance on procedures. Yet open skill ecosystems contain redundant, uneven, environment-sensitive artifacts, and indiscriminate updates can pollute future context. We present SkillsVote, a lifecycle-governance framework for Agent Skills from collection and recommendation to evolution. SkillsVote profiles a million-scale open-source corpus for environment requirements, quality, and verifiability, then synthesizes tasks for verifiable skills. Before execution, SkillsVote performs agentic library search over structured skill library to expose instructional skill context. After execution, it decomposes trajectories into skill-linked subtasks, attributes outcomes to skill use, agent exploration, environment, and result signals, and admits only successful reusable discoveries to evidence-gated updates. In our evaluation, offline evolution improves GPT-5.2 on Terminal-Bench 2.0 by up to 7.9 pp, while online evolution improves SWE-Bench Pro by up to 2.6 pp. Overall, governed external skill libraries can improve frozen agents without model updates when systems control exposure, credit, and preservation.

Towards Robust LLM Post-Training: Automatic Failure Management for Reinforcement Fine-Tuning

Reinforcement fine-tuning (RFT) has become a core paradigm for post-training large language models, yet its training process remains highly fragile. Existing efforts mainly improve reliability at the system level or address specific issues in individual subproblems by modifying RFT algorithms. Despite their effectiveness, they largely overlook the problem of failure management at the training-process level. When training goes wrong, practitioners still rely heavily on expert-driven manual inspection and correction, and automatic failure management for RFT remains largely unexplored. In this paper, we take a first step toward systematic failure management for reinforcement fine-tuning. To understand the empirical structure of RFT failures, we first construct RFT-FaultBench, the first benchmark for fine-grained failures in reinforcement fine-tuning, covering 5 fault families, 16 fault types, 779 training runs, 22,549 train-step records, and 1,457,288 trajectory-level records. Based on this benchmark, we conduct a comprehensive empirical study showing that RFT failures are both observable from training dynamics and distinguishable through their empirical fault fingerprints. Building on these findings, we propose RFT-FM, an automatic failure management framework for reinforcement fine-tuning that unifies anomaly detection, failure diagnosis, and auto remediation in a closed loop. Experimental results show that RFT-FaultBench is neither trivial nor saturated: it exhibits clear anomaly structure while still posing substantial challenges, especially under subtle fault settings. Moreover, RFT-FM shows strong capability in detecting, diagnosing, and mitigating RFT failures.

A compactness theorem for hyperkaehler 4-manifolds with boundary

In this paper, we study the compactness of a boundary value problem for hyperkaehler 4-manifolds. We show that under certain topological conditions and the positive mean curvature condition on the boundary, a sequence of hyperkaehler triples converges smoothly up to diffeomorphisms if and only if their restrictions to the boundary converge smoothly up to diffeomorphisms. We also generalize this result to torsion-free hypersymplectic triples.

Efficient Chemical Space Exploration Using Active Learning Based on Marginalized Graph Kernel: an Application for Predicting the Thermodynamic Properties of Alkanes with Molecular Simulation

We introduce an explorative active learning (AL) algorithm based on Gaussian process regression and marginalized graph kernel (GPR-MGK) to explore chemical space with minimum cost. Using high-throughput molecular dynamics simulation to generate data and graph neural network (GNN) to predict, we constructed an active learning molecular simulation framework for thermodynamic property prediction. In specific, targeting 251,728 alkane molecules consisting of 4 to 19 carbon atoms and their liquid physical properties: densities, heat capacities, and vaporization enthalpies, we use the AL algorithm to select the most informative molecules to represent the chemical space. Validation of computational and experimental test sets shows that only 313 (0.124\% of the total) molecules were sufficient to train an accurate GNN model with $\rm R^2 > 0.99$ for computational test sets and $\rm R^2 > 0.94$ for experimental test sets. We highlight two advantages of the presented AL algorithm: compatibility with high-throughput data generation and reliable uncertainty quantification.
