Black-Box On-Policy Distillation of Large Language Models

Black-box distillation creates student large language models (LLMs) by learning from a proprietary teacher model's text outputs alone, without access to its internal logits or parameters. In this work, we introduce Generative Adversarial Distillation (GAD), which enables on-policy and black-box distillation. GAD frames the student LLM as a generator and trains a discriminator to distinguish its responses from the teacher LLM's, creating a minimax game. The discriminator acts as an on-policy reward model that co-evolves with the student, providing stable, adaptive feedback. Experimental results show that GAD consistently surpasses the commonly used sequence-level knowledge distillation. In particular, Qwen2.5-14B-Instruct (student) trained with GAD becomes comparable to its teacher, GPT-5-Chat, on the LMSYS-Chat automatic evaluation. The results establish GAD as a promising and effective paradigm for black-box LLM distillation.

STAGE: Tackling Semantic Drift in Multimodal Federated Graph Learning

Federated graph learning (FGL) enables collaborative training on graph data across multiple clients. As graph data increasingly contain multimodal node attributes such as text and images, multimodal federated graph learning (MM-FGL) has become an important yet substantially harder setting. The key challenge is that clients from different modality domains may not share a common semantic space: even for the same concept, their local encoders can produce inconsistent representations before collaboration begins. This makes direct parameter coordination unreliable and further causes two downstream problems: forcing heterogeneous client representations into a naively shared semantic space may create false semantic agreement, and graph message passing may amplify residual inconsistency across neighborhoods. To address this issue, we propose \textbf{STAGE}, a protocol-first framework for MM-FGL. Instead of relying on direct parameter averaging, STAGE builds a shared semantic space that first translates heterogeneous multimodal features into comparable representations and then regulates how these representations propagate over local graph structures. In this way, STAGE not only improves cross-client semantic calibration, but also reduces the risk of inconsistency amplification during graph learning. Extensive experiments on 8 multimodal-attributed graphs across 5 graph-centric and modality-centric tasks show that STAGE consistently achieves state-of-the-art performance while reducing per-round communication payload.

Towards Stable and Effective Reinforcement Learning for Mixture-of-Experts

Recent advances in reinforcement learning (RL) have substantially improved the training of large-scale language models, leading to significant gains in generation quality and reasoning ability. However, most existing research focuses on dense models, while RL training for Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) architectures remains underexplored. To address the instability commonly observed in MoE training, we propose a novel router-aware approach to optimize importance sampling (IS) weights in off-policy RL. Specifically, we design a rescaling strategy guided by router logits, which effectively reduces gradient variance and mitigates training divergence. Experimental results demonstrate that our method significantly improves both the convergence stability and the final performance of MoE models, highlighting the potential of RL algorithmic innovations tailored to MoE architectures and providing a promising direction for efficient training of large-scale expert models.

Investigating EEG-Based Functional Connectivity Patterns for Multimodal Emotion Recognition

Compared with the rich studies on the motor brain-computer interface (BCI), the recently emerging affective BCI presents distinct challenges since the brain functional connectivity networks involving emotion are not well investigated. Previous studies on emotion recognition based on electroencephalography (EEG) signals mainly rely on single-channel-based feature extraction methods. In this paper, we propose a novel emotion-relevant critical subnetwork selection algorithm and investigate three EEG functional connectivity network features: strength, clustering coefficient, and eigenvector centrality. The discrimination ability of the EEG connectivity features in emotion recognition is evaluated on three public emotion EEG datasets: SEED, SEED-V, and DEAP. The strength feature achieves the best classification performance and outperforms the state-of-the-art differential entropy feature based on single-channel analysis. The experimental results reveal that distinct functional connectivity patterns are exhibited for the five emotions of disgust, fear, sadness, happiness, and neutrality. Furthermore, we construct a multimodal emotion recognition model by combining the functional connectivity features from EEG and the features from eye movements or physiological signals using deep canonical correlation analysis. The classification accuracies of multimodal emotion recognition are 95.08/6.42% on the SEED dataset, 84.51/5.11% on the SEED-V dataset, and 85.34/2.90% and 86.61/3.76% for arousal and valence on the DEAP dataset, respectively. The results demonstrate the complementary representation properties of the EEG connectivity features with eye movement data. In addition, we find that the brain networks constructed with 18 channels achieve comparable performance with that of the 62-channel network in multimodal emotion recognition and enable easier setups for BCI systems in real scenarios.
