Chinese Competitive Debating Dataset and Benchmark

Debate adjudication requires tracking how arguments develop through interaction, yet existing datasets rarely combine fine-grained debate transcripts with professional judgments collected during real competitions under a shared rubric. We introduce a dataset and benchmark for evaluating large language models' understanding of competitive Chinese-language debate at the match, stage, and speaker levels. We organized 182 matches and recruited 120 professional judges, with each match independently adjudicated by three judges using a predefined rubric. After excluding matches with incomplete records, the dataset contains 148 matches, 2,698 stages, and 20,542 exchange units, with manually verified transcripts and segmentation. It preserves original stage scores, match votes, best-debater ballots, and adjudication rationales. We define three tasks: winner-tendency prediction, stage-score prediction, and best-debater prediction. Zero-shot evaluation of multiple large language models yields a highest winner-prediction accuracy of 66.2%, a highest Pearson correlation of 0.250 between model stage scores and mean human ratings, and a highest best-debater prediction accuracy of 56.8%. The dataset and benchmark provide a testbed for studying large language models' understanding of interactive argumentation and their agreement with professional judges.

SDO: Subspace Deconflicting Operator for Multi-Adapter Composition

Composing independently trained adapters within a shared diffusion backbone provides a modular approach to multi-character generation, but naive joint deployment often causes identity mixing, cross-character attribute leakage, and unstable scene composition. We study this interference from a parameter-space perspective and hypothesize that it arises partly from conflicts between overlapping dominant subspaces in shared layers. To address this issue, we propose \textbf{SDO}, a \textbf{S}ubspace \textbf{D}econflicting \textbf{O}perator for multi-adapter composition. SDO reconstructs layer-wise low-rank updates from the selected adapters, extracts compact subspace signatures, measures pairwise conflict through output-subspace overlap, and applies a permutation-equivariant transformation that suppresses harmful shared directions while retaining identity-specific characteristics. The resulting representations are mapped back to standard adapter updates and can be directly incorporated into existing diffusion inference pipelines. Experiments demonstrate that SDO consistently improves identity fidelity and compositional stability, with particularly clear gains as the number of jointly composed adapters increases.

R-Debater: Retrieval-Augmented Debate Generation through Argumentative Memory

We present R-Debater, an agentic framework for generating multi-turn debates built on argumentative memory. Grounded in rhetoric and memory studies, the system views debate as a process of recalling and adapting prior arguments to maintain stance consistency, respond to opponents, and support claims with evidence. Specifically, R-Debater integrates a debate knowledge base for retrieving case-like evidence and prior debate moves with a role-based agent that composes coherent utterances across turns. We evaluate on standardized ORCHID debates, constructing a 1,000-item retrieval corpus and a held-out set of 32 debates across seven domains. Two tasks are evaluated: next-utterance generation, assessed by InspireScore (subjective, logical, and factual), and adversarial multi-turn simulations, judged by Debatrix (argument, source, language, and overall). Compared with strong LLM baselines, R-Debater achieves higher single-turn and multi-turn scores. Human evaluation with 20 experienced debaters further confirms its consistency and evidence use, showing that combining retrieval grounding with structured planning yields more faithful, stance-aligned, and coherent debates across turns.

CharCom: Composable Identity Control for Multi-Character Story Illustration

Ensuring character identity consistency across varying prompts remains a fundamental limitation in diffusion-based text-to-image generation. We propose CharCom, a modular and parameter-efficient framework that achieves character-consistent story illustration through composable LoRA adapters, enabling efficient per-character customization without retraining the base model. Built on a frozen diffusion backbone, CharCom dynamically composes adapters at inference using prompt-aware control. Experiments on multi-scene narratives demonstrate that CharCom significantly enhances character fidelity, semantic alignment, and temporal coherence. It remains robust in crowded scenes and enables scalable multi-character generation with minimal overhead, making it well-suited for real-world applications such as story illustration and animation.

Weak Supervision Techniques towards Enhanced ASR Models in Industry-level CRM Systems

In the design of customer relationship management (CRM) systems, accurately identifying customer types and offering personalized services are key to enhancing customer satisfaction and loyalty. However, this process faces the challenge of discerning customer voices and intentions, and general pre-trained automatic speech recognition (ASR) models make it difficult to effectively address industry-specific speech recognition tasks. To address this issue, we innovatively proposed a solution for fine-tuning industry-specific ASR models, which significantly improved the performance of the fine-tuned ASR models in industry applications. Experimental results show that our method substantially improves the crucial auxiliary role of the ASR model in industry CRM systems, and this approach has also been adopted in actual industrial applications.

CoRA: Optimizing Low-Rank Adaptation with Common Subspace of Large Language Models

In fine-tuning large language models (LLMs), conserving computational resources while maintaining effectiveness and improving outcomes within the same computational constraints is crucial. The Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA) strategy balances efficiency and performance in fine-tuning large models by reducing the number of trainable parameters and computational costs. However, current advancements in LoRA might be focused on its fine-tuning methodologies, with not as much exploration as might be expected into further compression of LoRA. Since most of LoRA's parameters might still be superfluous, this may lead to unnecessary wastage of computational resources. In this paper, we propose \textbf{CoRA}: leveraging shared knowledge to optimize LoRA training by substituting its matrix $B$ with a common subspace from large models. Our two-fold method includes (1) Freezing the substitute matrix $B$ to halve parameters while training matrix $A$ for specific tasks and (2) Using the substitute matrix $B$ as an enhanced initial state for the original matrix $B$, achieving improved results with the same parameters. Our experiments show that the first approach achieves the same efficacy as the original LoRA fine-tuning while being more efficient than halving parameters. At the same time, the second approach has some improvements compared to LoRA's original fine-tuning performance. They generally attest to the effectiveness of our work.

ChatLogic: Integrating Logic Programming with Large Language Models for Multi-Step Reasoning

Large language models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT and GPT-4 have demonstrated impressive capabilities in various generative tasks. However, their performance is often hampered by limitations in accessing and leveraging long-term memory, leading to specific vulnerabilities and biases, especially during long interactions. This paper introduces ChatLogic, an innovative framework specifically targeted at LLM reasoning tasks that can enhance the performance of LLMs in multi-step deductive reasoning tasks by integrating logic programming. In ChatLogic, the language model plays a central role, acting as a controller and participating in every system operation stage. We propose a novel method of converting logic problems into symbolic integration with an inference engine. This approach leverages large language models' situational understanding and imitation skills and uses symbolic memory to enhance multi-step deductive reasoning capabilities. Our results show that the ChatLogic framework significantly improves the multi-step reasoning capabilities of LLMs. The source code and data are available at \url{https://github.com/Strong-AI-Lab/ChatLogic}
