1. ARGS: Alignment as Reward-Guided Search (2024 · 46 citations)
   Most alignment pipelines for large language models rely on RLHF with PPO. This kind of training is costly and often unstable, and it must be rerun whenever the reward model changes. ARGS moves alignment out of training and into inference. At every generation step, the base model proposes its top-k candidate tokens. A…
2. Audio-centric Video Understanding Benchmark without Text Shortcut (2025 · 10 citations)
   Benchmarks for multimodal LLMs that handle video mostly test vision. Audio, when it appears at all, plays a supporting role. Many of these benchmarks also have a "text shortcut": a model can often pick the right answer from the question and options alone, without watching the video. The authors address both problems…
