The paper introduces 'Memory Decoder', a novel plug-and-play pretrained memory component designed to enable efficient domain adaptation for large language models (LLMs) without modifying their original parameters. This approach addresses the challenges of domain-specific adaptation, such as high computational costs and inference latency, associated with existing methods like Domain Adaptive Pretraining (DAPT) and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG). The Memory Decoder uses a small transformer decoder to mimic external non-parametric retrievers, allowing seamless integration with any pretrained language model that shares the same tokenizer. Experimental results show significant improvements in adapting models to specialized domains like biomedicine, finance, and law.

The paper 'SSRL: Self-Search Reinforcement Learning' explores the use of large language models (LLMs) as simulators for agentic search tasks in reinforcement learning, aiming to reduce reliance on external search engines. The authors introduce Self-Search RL (SSRL), which enhances LLMs' intrinsic search capabilities through structured prompting and reinforcement learning techniques. The study demonstrates that SSRL-trained models can effectively utilize internal knowledge to achieve high performance in search-driven tasks, facilitating robust sim-to-real transfer.

This paper explores the comparison between human annotators and large language models (LLMs) in terms of sensitivity to prompt modifications. It investigates whether the brittleness observed in LLM outputs due to prompt changes is also present in human annotations. The study systematically examines the effects of prompt variations on both humans and LLMs in text classification tasks, finding that both exhibit increased brittleness to certain prompt modifications, though humans are less affected by typographical errors and label order changes.

This paper presents a large-scale empirical study on the motivations behind code refactoring in open-source projects. It uses Large Language Models (LLMs) to analyze version control data and identify developers' motivations for refactoring. The study compares LLM-derived motivations with those reported in the literature and finds that while LLMs align with human judgment in many cases, they often provide more detailed rationale. The research highlights the potential of combining LLMs with software metrics to improve the systematic prioritization of refactoring efforts.

The paper “On the Theoretical Limitations of Embedding-Based Retrieval” (Google DeepMind) explores the theoretical limitations of embedding-based retrieval systems, particularly focusing on the constraints imposed by the dimensionality of embeddings in handling retrieval tasks. The authors demonstrate that even simple queries can encounter these limitations, challenging the assumption that larger models and better data can overcome these issues. They introduce a dataset called LIMIT to empirically test these theoretical findings and observe that state-of-the-art models struggle with it. The work calls for new methods to address these fundamental limitations in embedding models.

The paper, titled “OdysseyBench: Evaluating LLM Agents on Long-Horizon Complex Office Application Workflows”, presents a new benchmark to assess the capabilities of LLM-based autonomous agents in handling intricate, multi-step tasks typical of real-world productivity environments. Existing benchmarks, such as WebArena, AgentBench, and OfficeBench, primarily evaluate agents on isolated tasks, which do not reflect the contextual persistence and coordination required in realistic workflows. OdysseyBench fills this gap by introducing tasks that span multiple applications and require agents to maintain and leverage long-term context from user-agent interactions.
