Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly deployed for enterprise information extraction (IE), where the same document must be reorganized differently for each user. Existing prompt optimization methods, however, rely on a single prompt optimized against a global objective, which is misaligned with the inherent user heterogeneity of real workplaces. We formulate enterprise IE as per-user prompt adaptation under interaction feedback and propose Self-Meta-Evolve, a hierarchical framework that maintains a dedicated prompt for each user and continuously refines it through a dual-loop process: an inner loop that edits structured prompts based on persona-conditioned feedback, and an outer loop that evolves the meta-prompt itself by distilling successful editing patterns. To enable scalable training and evaluation, we release a persona-driven IE benchmark of 292 simulated enterprise users, paired with a reproducible persona-generation pipeline grounded in O*NET occupational taxonomies. On this benchmark, Self-Meta-Evolve achieves a 74.58% success rate, outperforming the strongest prompt-optimization baseline by 13.56 absolute points, and reaches 52.54% within only two iterations. A double-blind human study with twenty real professionals further confirms that prompts adapted by our framework win against static baselines in 71% of pairwise comparisons.

Reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR) has emerged as a powerful paradigm for improving the reasoning capabilities of LLMs. However, the role of supervised fine-tuning (SFT) data in enabling effective downstream RL remains underexplored. In this paper, we investigate a key hypothesis: the diversity of reasoning steps in chain-of-thought (CoT) during SFT is a critical enabler of RLVR performance. To test this hypothesis, we introduce EquivAug, a data augmentation framework that uses symbolic equivalence transformations to generate diverse yet provably correct reasoning paths. By converting CoT solutions into formal symbolic representations, applying equivalence transformations, and reconstructing natural-language explanations, EquivAug produces training data that differs in reasoning steps rather than surface-level lexical variation. Experiments on GSM8K and FOLIO across model scales demonstrate that EquivAug consistently achieves the highest reasoning path diversity after SFT and the strongest accuracy after GRPO. Our results establish that CoT diversity during SFT is positively correlated with downstream RLVR performance.

This paper describes our system, entitled Idiom Savant, for the 7th Task of the Semeval 2017 workshop, “Detection and interpretation of English Puns”. Our system consists of two probabilistic models for each type of puns using Google n-gram and Word2Vec. Our system achieved f-score of calculating, 0.663, and 0.07 in homographic puns and 0.8439, 0.6631, and 0.0806 in heterographic puns in task 1, task 2, and task 3 respectively.
