Customer-obsessed science

Goal-oriented script planning, or the ability to plan coherent sequences of actions toward specific goals, is commonly used by humans to plan for daily activities. In e-commerce, customers increasingly seek LLM-based assistants to plan for them with a script and recommend products at each step, thereby facilitating convenient and efficient shopping experiences. However, this capability remains under-explored

A generalist foundation model agent needs to have a large and diverse skill repertoire, such as finding directions between two travel locations and buying specific items from the Internet. If each skill needs to be specified manually through a fixed set of human-annotated instructions, the agent’s skill repertoire will necessarily be limited due to the scalability of human-annotated instructions. In this

Given a semi-structured knowledge base (SKB), where text documents are interconnected by relations, how can we effectively retrieve relevant information to answer user questions? Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) retrieves documents to assist large language models (LLMs) in question answering; while Graph RAG (GRAG) uses structured knowledge bases as its knowledge source. However, many questions require

Large language models (LLMs) encode vast amounts of world knowledge acquired via training on large web-scale datasets crawled from the internet. However, the datasets used to train the LLMs typically exhibit a geographical bias towards English-speaking Western countries. This results in LLMs producing biased or hallucinated responses to queries that require answers localized to other geographical regions

Determining the quantum capacity of a noisy quantum channel is an important problem in the field of quantum communication theory. In this work, we consider the Gaussian random displacement channel Nσ, a type of bosonic Gaussian channels relevant in various bosonic quantum information processing systems. In particular, we attempt to make progress on the problem of determining the quantum capacity of a Gaussian
