| 2026 | Generative Gamer: Learning Equilibrium Strategy by LLM-driven Dynamic DeductionabstractLarge Language Models (LLMs) have demonstrated remarkable general capabilities, yet they falter in domains requiring deep strategic reasoning.A primary obstacle is the need to navigate a game tree that grows exponentially with search depth, a task for which their generative nature is ill-suited.To address this, we introduce Generative Gamer (GenGamer), a framework that trains LLMs to reason like an expert player.Instead of attempting an exhaustive search, GenGamer learns to generate a compact, pruned reasoning trajectory termed as a Dynamic Deduction.This is achieved by integrating three key strategies: action pruning based on policy confidence, state pruning via value estimation, and branch pruning inspired by alpha-beta principles.Furthermore, to train the model effectively, we propose the Deduction Tree Reward (DTR), a process-oriented mechanism that provides step-by-step feedback on the quality of the reasoning process, rather than relying solely on the final game outcome.Experiments on complex games such as Tic-Tac-Toe and Leduc Poker demonstrate that GenGamer significantly enhances the strategic capabilities of LLMs, enabling them to achieve performance that surpasses current state-of-theart language models.

| 2025 | Towards Comprehensive Argument Analysis in Education: Dataset, Tasks, and MethodabstractArgument mining has garnered increasing attention over the years, with the recent advancement of Large Language Models (LLMs) further propelling this trend. However, current argument relations remain relatively simplistic and foundational, struggling to capture the full scope of argument information. To address this limitation, we propose a systematic framework comprising 14 fine-grained relation types from the perspectives of vertical argument relations and horizontal discourse relations, thereby capturing the intricate interplay between argument components for a thorough understanding of argument structure. On this basis, we conducted extensive experiments on three tasks: argument component prediction, relation prediction, and automated essay grading. Additionally, we explored the impact of writing quality on argument component prediction and relation prediction, as well as the connections between discourse relations and argumentative features. The findings highlight the importance of fine-grained argumentative annotations for argumentative writing assessment and encourage multi-dimensional argument analysis.
