Optimal Transport for LLM Reward Modeling from Noisy Preference
Reward models are fundamental to Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF), yet real-world datasets are inevitably corrupted by noisy preference. Conventional training objectives tend to overfit these errors, while existing denoising approaches often rely on homogeneous noise assumptions that fail to capture the complexity of linguistic preferences. To handle these challenges, we propose SelectiveRM, a framework grounded in optimal transport. We first devise a Joint Consistency Discrepancy to align the distribution of model predictions with preference data. Furthermore, to address the limitation of strict mass conservation which compels the model to fit outliers, we incorporate a Mass Relaxation mechanism via partial transport. This enables the autonomous exclusion of samples with noisy preference that contradict semantic consistency. Theoretically, we demonstrate that SelectiveRM optimizes a tighter upper bound on the unobserved clean risk. Extensive experiments validate that our approach significantly outperforms state-of-the-art baselines across diverse benchmarks.
GlyphBanana: Advancing Precise Text Rendering Through Agentic Workflows
Despite recent advances in generative models driving significant progress in text rendering, accurately generating complex text and mathematical formulas remains a formidable challenge. This difficulty primarily stems from the limited instruction-following capabilities of current models when encountering out-of-distribution prompts. To address this, we introduce GlyphBanana, alongside a corresponding benchmark specifically designed for rendering complex characters and formulas. GlyphBanana employs an agentic workflow that integrates auxiliary tools to inject glyph templates into both the latent space and attention maps, facilitating the iterative refinement of generated images. Notably, our training-free approach can be seamlessly applied to various Text-to-Image (T2I) models, achieving superior precision compared to existing baselines. Extensive experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed workflow. Associated code is publicly available at https://github.com/yuriYanZeXuan/GlyphBanana.
OmniGAIA: Towards Native Omni-Modal AI Agents
Human intelligence naturally intertwines omni-modal perception -- spanning vision, audio, and language -- with complex reasoning and tool usage to interact with the world. However, current multi-modal LLMs are primarily confined to bi-modal interactions (e.g., vision-language), lacking the unified cognitive capabilities required for general AI assistants. To bridge this gap, we introduce OmniGAIA, a comprehensive benchmark designed to evaluate omni-modal agents on tasks necessitating deep reasoning and multi-turn tool execution across video, audio, and image modalities. Constructed via a novel omni-modal event graph approach, OmniGAIA synthesizes complex, multi-hop queries derived from real-world data that require cross-modal reasoning and external tool integration. Furthermore, we propose OmniAtlas, a native omni-modal foundation agent under tool-integrated reasoning paradigm with active omni-modal perception. Trained on trajectories synthesized via a hindsight-guided tree exploration strategy and OmniDPO for fine-grained error correction, OmniAtlas effectively enhances the tool-use capabilities of existing open-source models. This work marks a step towards next-generation native omni-modal AI assistants for real-world scenarios.
