Task-specific LoRA adapters offer a modular way to specialize large language and vision-language models. However, existing adapter composition methods are mostly static and cannot adapt to individual test inputs. To address these issues, we propose LiST, a label-free test-time LoRA fusion framework that converts an existing LoRA bank into a target-conditioned local simplex and searches sample-specific fusion weights at inference time. LiST builds joint task representations from LoRA parameter anchors and prompt-level behavior vectors, retrieves neighboring adapters as a local search space, and performs branch-preserving fusion without updating the backbone or adapters. Candidate weights are selected by a prompt-level energy with prior, geometric, and stochastic-consistency constraints, and are deployed only when they pass a safe acceptance rule. Otherwise, LiST falls back to a target-conditioned prior. Experiments on multimodal and language benchmarks show that LiST outperforms static LoRA merging and conventional test-time adaptation baselines, while preserving task-specific adapter utility and improving robustness on unseen tasks.

Empathetic dialogue assembles emotion understanding, feeling projection, and appropriate response generation. Existing work for empathetic dialogue generation concentrates on the two-party conversation scenario. Multi-party dialogues, however, are pervasive in reality. Furthermore, emotion and sensibility are typically confused; a refined empathy analysis is needed for comprehending fragile and nuanced human feelings. We address these issues by proposing a novel task called Multi-Party Empathetic Dialogue Generation in this study. Additionally, a Static-Dynamic model for Multi-Party Empathetic Dialogue Generation, SDMPED, is introduced as a baseline by exploring the static sensibility and dynamic emotion for the multi-party empathetic dialogue learning, the aspects that help SDMPED achieve the state-of-the-art performance.
