AutoSkill: Experience-Driven Lifelong Learning via Skill Self-Evolution

Yutao Yang, Junsong Li, Qianjun Pan et al.

In practical LLM applications, users repeatedly express stable preferences and requirements, such as reducing hallucinations, following institutional writing conventions, or avoiding overly technical wording, yet such interaction experience is seldom consolidated into reusable knowledge. Consequently, LLM agents often fail to accumulate personalized capabilities across sessions. We present AutoSkill, an experience-driven lifelong learning framework that enables LLM agents to automatically derive, maintain, and reuse skills from dialogue and interaction traces. AutoSkill abstracts skills from user experience, supports their continual self-evolution, and dynamically injects relevant skills into future requests without retraining the underlying model. Designed as a model-agnostic plugin layer, it is compatible with existing LLMs and introduces a standardized skill representation for sharing and transfer across agents, users, and tasks. In this way, AutoSkill turns ephemeral interaction experience into explicit, reusable, and composable capabilities. This paper describes the motivation, architecture, skill lifecycle, and implementation of AutoSkill, and positions it with respect to prior work on memory, retrieval, personalization, and agentic systems. AutoSkill highlights a practical and scalable path toward lifelong personalized agents and personal digital surrogates.

Amplitude-Phase Recombination: Rethinking Robustness of Convolutional Neural Networks in Frequency Domain

Guangyao Chen, Peixi Peng, Li Ma et al.

Recently, the generalization behavior of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) is gradually transparent through explanation techniques with the frequency components decomposition. However, the importance of the phase spectrum of the image for a robust vision system is still ignored. In this paper, we notice that the CNN tends to converge at the local optimum which is closely related to the high-frequency components of the training images, while the amplitude spectrum is easily disturbed such as noises or common corruptions. In contrast, more empirical studies found that humans rely on more phase components to achieve robust recognition. This observation leads to more explanations of the CNN's generalization behaviors in both robustness to common perturbations and out-of-distribution detection, and motivates a new perspective on data augmentation designed by re-combing the phase spectrum of the current image and the amplitude spectrum of the distracter image. That is, the generated samples force the CNN to pay more attention to the structured information from phase components and keep robust to the variation of the amplitude. Experiments on several image datasets indicate that the proposed method achieves state-of-the-art performances on multiple generalizations and calibration tasks, including adaptability for common corruptions and surface variations, out-of-distribution detection, and adversarial attack.

Handwritten Mathematical Expression Recognition with Bidirectionally Trained Transformer

Wenqi Zhao, Liangcai Gao, Zuoyu Yan et al.

Encoder-decoder models have made great progress on handwritten mathematical expression recognition recently. However, it is still a challenge for existing methods to assign attention to image features accurately. Moreover, those encoder-decoder models usually adopt RNN-based models in their decoder part, which makes them inefficient in processing long $\LaTeX{}$ sequences. In this paper, a transformer-based decoder is employed to replace RNN-based ones, which makes the whole model architecture very concise. Furthermore, a novel training strategy is introduced to fully exploit the potential of the transformer in bidirectional language modeling. Compared to several methods that do not use data augmentation, experiments demonstrate that our model improves the ExpRate of current state-of-the-art methods on CROHME 2014 by 2.23%. Similarly, on CROHME 2016 and CROHME 2019, we improve the ExpRate by 1.92% and 2.28% respectively.
