MetaEncoder: Exploring the Limit of Bi-Encoders for Multimodal System One Decision Making with Natural Language Interface

This work introduces MetaEncoder, which fine-tunes a pre-trained Muse-Glimmer 30B decoder into an instruction-following decision-making encoder, and employs a bi-encoder architecture trained via unidirectional contrastive learning for request-candidate alignment.

Recommendation Retrievers Need Verifiers: Universal Generative Reranking for Sequential Recommendations

A lightweight generative verifier for retrieval models is introduced, trained post hoc with next-token cross entropy, requires no sampled negatives or candidate pool during training, and scores only the retriever's top-$K$ candidates at inference.

Knowledge Distillation During Mid-Training Favors Reasoning over Factual Recall

Switch Distillation is proposed, a simple mid-training objective that distills on tokens where the teacher is confident, using teacher predictive entropy as a lightweight routing signal, and otherwise falls back to cross-entropy, which consistently outperforms existing distillation objectives across teacher sizes.
