Applying LLMs to complex industrial processes remains challenging due to the semantic gap between natural language design intents and the rigorous physical logic of engineering. In the field of petroleum refining engineering, a critical bottleneck is the automated synthesis of Unit-level Process Diagrams (UPDs), which serve as the topological bridge connecting abstract requirements to concrete unit operations. In this paper, we propose RefineGPT, a domain-specialized agent for autonomous refinery design.RefineGPT adopts a hierarchical architecture in which a supervised fine-tuned small language model is responsible for selecting units that satisfy design requirements, while a large language model is used to connect these units to generate the final topology. To enable supervised training, we develop a pipeline that extracts latent process motifs from noisy, unstructured legacy topologies and synthesizes high-quality rationale-based Chain-of-Thought (CoT) training data. Empirical validation demonstrates that RefineGPT achieves substantial improvements in topological consistency and chemical engineering feasibility, establishing a high-fidelity pathway for AI-augmented industrial process synthesis.

As the final stage of recommender systems, re-ranking presents ordered item lists to users that best match their interests. It plays such a critical role and has become a trending research topic with much attention from both academia and industry. Recent advances of re-ranking are focused on attentive listwise modeling of interactions and mutual influences among items to be re-ranked. However, principles to guide the learning process of a re-ranker, and to measure the quality of the output of the re-ranker, have been always missing. In this paper, we study such principles to learn a good re-ranker. Two principles are proposed, including convergence consistency and adversarial consistency. These two principles can be applied in the learning of a generic re-ranker and improve its performance. We validate such a finding by various baseline methods over different datasets.

A plethora of face forgery detectors exist to tackle facial deepfake risks. However, their practical application is hindered by the challenge of generalizing to forgeries unseen during the training stage. To this end, we introduce an insertable adaptation module that can adapt a trained off-the-shelf detector using only online unlabeled test data, without requiring modifications to the architecture or training process. Specifically, we first present a learnable class prototype-based classifier that generates predictions from the revised features and prototypes, enabling effective handling of various forgery clues and domain gaps during online testing. Additionally, we propose a nearest feature calibrator to further improve prediction accuracy and reduce the impact of noisy pseudo-labels during self-training. Experiments across multiple datasets show that our module achieves superior generalization compared to state-of-the-art methods. Moreover, it functions as a plug-and-play component that can be combined with various detectors to enhance the overall performance.
