The emergence of reasoning models, exemplified by OpenAI o1, signifies a transition from intuitive to deliberative cognition, effectively reorienting the scaling laws from pre-training paradigms toward test-time computation. While Monte Carlo Tree Search (MCTS) has shown promise in this domain, existing approaches typically treat each rollout as an isolated trajectory. This lack of information sharing leads to severe inefficiency and substantial computational redundancy, as the search process fails to leverage insights from prior explorations. To address these limitations, we propose PRISM-MCTS, a novel reasoning framework that draws inspiration from human parallel thinking and reflective processes. PRISM-MCTS integrates a Process Reward Model (PRM) with a dynamic shared memory, capturing both “Heuristics” and “Fallacies”. By reinforcing successful strategies and pruning error-prone branches, PRISM-MCTS effectively achieves refinement. Furthermore, we develop a data-efficient training strategy for the PRM, achieving high-fidelity evaluation under a few-shot regime. Empirical evaluations across diverse reasoning benchmarks substantiate the efficacy of PRISM-MCTS. Notably, it halves the trajectory requirements on GPQA while surpassing MCTS-RAG and Search-o1, demonstrating that it scales inference by reasoning judiciously rather than exhaustively.

Micro-dramas, characterized by ultra-short durations and hyper-dense storylines, pose unique challenges for video understanding that conventional benchmarks fail to address. To bridge this gap, we introduce **M-Drama**, the first large-scale bilingual benchmark for micro-drama comprehension, featuring over 35K instances across 9,138 clips. Furthermore, while reinforcement learning can enhance VLMs on complex narratives, existing reward metrics often suffer from sparse and superficial signals, failing to capture intricate character identities and temporal structures. We propose **SAGA** (**S**tructure-**A**ware **G**raph **A**lignment), a novel graph-matching reward function that models narratives as heterogeneous graphs. SAGA computes dense, rigorous rewards via decoupled semantic triplet and structural temporal matching. Extensive experiments on Qwen3-VL-8B-Instruct demonstrate that SAGA outperforms existing baselines, delivering substantial improvements in open-ended accuracy and summary quality, while maintaining competitive out-of-domain generalization. Code is available at https://github.com/qyx1121/MDrama_SAGA.

Large Language Models (LLMs) trained on extensive corpora inevitably retain sensitive data, such as personal privacy information and copyrighted material. Recent advancements in knowledge unlearning involve updating LLM parameters to erase specific knowledge. However, current unlearning paradigms are mired in vague forgetting boundaries, often erasing knowledge indiscriminately. In this work, we introduce KnowUnDo, a benchmark containing copyrighted content and user privacy domains to evaluate if the unlearning process inadvertently erases essential knowledge. Our findings indicate that existing unlearning methods often suffer from excessive unlearning. To address this, we propose a simple yet effective method, MemFlex, which utilizes gradient information to precisely target and unlearn sensitive parameters. Experimental results show that MemFlex is superior to existing methods in both precise knowledge unlearning and general knowledge retaining of LLMs.

Multimodal knowledge editing represents a critical advancement in enhancing the capabilities of Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs). Despite its potential, current benchmarks predominantly focus on coarse-grained knowledge, leaving the intricacies of fine-grained (FG) multimodal entity knowledge largely unexplored. This gap presents a notable challenge, as FG entity recognition is pivotal for the practical deployment and effectiveness of MLLMs in diverse real-world scenarios. To bridge this gap, we introduce MIKE, a comprehensive benchmark and dataset specifically designed for the FG multimodal entity knowledge editing. MIKE encompasses a suite of tasks tailored to assess different perspectives, including Vanilla Name Answering, Entity-Level Caption, and Complex-Scenario Recognition. In addition, a new form of knowledge editing, Multi-step Editing, is introduced to evaluate the editing efficiency. Through our extensive evaluations, we demonstrate that the current state-of-the-art methods face significant challenges in tackling our proposed benchmark, underscoring the complexity of FG knowledge editing in MLLMs. Our findings spotlight the urgent need for novel approaches in this domain, setting a clear agenda for future research and development efforts within the community.

Large Language Models (LLMs) usually suffer from knowledge cutoff or fallacy issues, which means they are unaware of unseen events or generate text with incorrect facts owing to outdated/noisy data. To this end, many knowledge editing approaches for LLMs have emerged – aiming to subtly inject/edit updated knowledge or adjust undesired behavior while minimizing the impact on unrelated inputs. Nevertheless, due to significant differences among various knowledge editing methods and the variations in task setups, there is no standard implementation framework available for the community, which hinders practitioners from applying knowledge editing to applications. To address these issues, we propose EasyEdit, an easy-to-use knowledge editing framework for LLMs. It supports various cutting-edge knowledge editing approaches and can be readily applied to many well-known LLMs such as T5, GPT-J, LlaMA, etc. Empirically, we report the knowledge editing results on LlaMA-2 with EasyEdit, demonstrating that knowledge editing surpasses traditional fine-tuning in terms of reliability and generalization. We have released the source code on GitHub, along with Google Colab tutorials and comprehensive documentation for beginners to get started. Besides, we present an online system for real-time knowledge editing, and a demo video.
