Bridging Functional Correctness and Runtime Efficiency Gaps in LLM-Based Code Translation

While large language models (LLMs) have greatly advanced the functional correctness of automated code translation systems, the runtime efficiency of translated programs has received comparatively little attention. With the waning of Moore's law, runtime efficiency has become increasingly important for program quality, alongside functional correctness. Our preliminary study reveals that LLM-translated programs often run slower than human-written ones, and this issue cannot be remedied through prompt engineering alone. Therefore, our work proposes SwiftTrans, a code translation framework comprising two key stages: (1) Multi-Perspective Exploration, where MpTranslator leverages parallel in-context learning (ICL) to generate diverse translation candidates; and (2) Difference-Aware Selection, where DiffSelector identifies the optimal candidate by explicitly comparing differences between translations. We further introduce Hierarchical Guidance for MpTranslator and Ordinal Guidance for DiffSelector, enabling LLMs to better adapt to these two core components. To support the evaluation of runtime efficiency in translated programs, we extend existing benchmarks, CodeNet and F2SBench, and introduce a new benchmark, SwiftBench. Experimental results across all three benchmarks show that SwiftTrans achieves consistent improvements in both correctness and runtime efficiency.

SuCo: Sufficiency-guided Continuous Adaptive Reasoning

Despite remarkable performance on complex tasks, Large Reasoning Models (LRMs) often generate excessively long Chain-of-Thoughts (CoT), inflating computational costs even for simple queries. Existing efforts to mitigate this inefficiency typically rely on discrete reasoning modes or fixed budget tiers, lacking a principled criterion of when reasoning is sufficient. In this work, we introduce Minimal Sufficient CoT (MSC), defined as the shortest prefix of a CoT trajectory which is adequate for producing the correct answer. We empirically show that MSC not only reduces reasoning tokens, but also improves accuracy across difficulty levels. Building on MSC, we propose Sufficiency-guided Continuous Adaptive Reasoning (SuCo), a two-stage training framework for autonomous reasoning control along a continuous spectrum. In stage 1, MSC-Aligned Fine-Tuning (MFT) constructs MSC data using problem-adaptive sufficiency thresholds that naturally scale with question difficulty, then fine-tunes the model to internalize concise yet sufficient reasoning patterns. In stage 2, Sufficiency-Aware Policy Optimization (SAPO) further optimizes the model through reinforcement learning with dynamic complexity tracking and sufficiency-aware rewards that penalize both over- and under-thinking. Extensive experiments across mathematics, code, and science benchmarks show that SuCo consistently achieves improvements in both accuracy and reasoning efficiency.

CogSR: Semantic-Aware Speech Super-Resolution via Chain-of-Thought Guided Flow Matching

Applying speech super-resolution (SR) to recordings with severely low sampling rates is a critical challenge in digital archiving and investigative audio recovery. In these scenarios, the input lacks essential acoustic cues. Consequently, existing generative models often fail; without sufficient context, they hallucinate phonetic content, guessing words based on probability rather than meaning. To address this, we propose CogSR, a framework designed specifically for high-precision, offline restoration. Our approach shifts the focus from simple signal mapping to cognitive reconstruction. By integrating a Large Audio-Language Model, we employ Chain-of-Thought reasoning to act as a semantic anchor, while explicit acoustic priors ensure the speaker's identity remains consistent. This guides a Rectified Flow backbone to synthesize high-frequency details that are not only realistic but linguistically accurate. Evaluations show that CogSR effectively eliminates ambiguity in severe degradation regimes, making it a robust solution for restoring high-value legacy and surveillance audio.

STSR: High-Fidelity Speech Super-Resolution via Spectral-Transient Context Modeling

Speech super-resolution (SR) reconstructs high-fidelity wideband speech from low-resolution inputs-a task that necessitates reconciling global harmonic coherence with local transient sharpness. While diffusion-based generative models yield impressive fidelity, their practical deployment is often stymied by prohibitive computational demands. Conversely, efficient time-domain architectures lack the explicit frequency representations essential for capturing long-range spectral dependencies and ensuring precise harmonic alignment. We introduce STSR, a unified end-to-end framework formulated in the MDCT domain to circumvent these limitations. STSR employs a Spectral-Contextual Attention mechanism that harnesses hierarchical windowing to adaptively aggregate non-local spectral context, enabling consistent harmonic reconstruction up to 48 kHz. Concurrently, a sparse-aware regularization strategy is employed to mitigate the suppression of transient components inherent in compressed spectral representations. STSR consistently outperforms state-of-the-art baselines in both perceptual fidelity and zero-shot generalization, providing a robust, real-time paradigm for high-quality speech restoration.
