Text-Attributed Graph (TAG) is an important type of graph structured data, where each node has a text description. TAG models usually train a Graph Neural Network (GNN) and language model jointly, which leads to high space and time consumption, especially on large datasets. To mitigate this, we propose TAGSAM, a condensation method that compresses TAGs while preserving training accuracy. TAGSAM comes with two key designs, i.e., subgraph text Selection and Attribute similarity Matching, which compress the text description and graph topology of TAG, respectively. For the texts, subgraph text selection selects and merges representative text chunks from multiple related text descriptions by maximizing mutual information. For the graph topology, popular condensation methods based on Matching Training Trajectories (MTT) suffer from high variance, which hinders accuracy. Our attribute similarity matching mitigates this issue by aligning stable similarity matrices. We evaluate TAGSAM against six state-of-the-art baselines, where it showcases superior performance. For the same compressed size, TAGSAM improves upon the best-performing baseline by an average of 4.9% in accuracy. Furthermore, it maintains competitive training accuracy even when the TAG is condensed to just 1% size. Our code is available at https://github.com/SundayVHan/TAGSAM

Command understanding systems in smart home ecosystems can automate device control and substantially improve user experience. However, while they perform well on precise utterances (e.g., "turn on the bedroom light"), they struggle with ambiguous or misaligned commands (e.g., "make the bedroom cozy"). Large language models (LLMs) generalize well across various domains and can outperform traditional rule-based systems on such tasks, but their effectiveness is often constrained by scarce domain-specific data, insufficient task-specific adaptation, and high computational costs. In this paper, we propose an automated training data synthesis workflow using user logs and LLMs; then we build MiCU, a domain-specific LLM that excels at command understanding. Specifically, we employ curriculum learning to inject domain knowledge into the base LLM, then we enhance its reasoning ability via cold-start training combined with reinforcement learning (RL) guided by domain-specific thinking rules. Additionally, we introduce a token compression technique that condenses device description into a single special token, substantially reducing inference overhead and enabling \model-fast, an efficient variant optimized for long inputs. Extensive experiments show that MiCU significantly outperforms baselines, with an average accuracy gain of 20.01% across all device categories. We have deployed MiCU in the Xiaomi Home app, receiving approximately 1.7 million page views per day. Production evaluations show that MiCU reduces user correction rate by 1.57% and increases human audited accuracy by 32.05%.

Operation recommendation for IoT devices refers to generating personalized device operations for users based on their context, such as historical operations, environment information, and device status. This task is crucial for enhancing user satisfaction and corporate profits. Existing recommendation models struggle with complex operation logic, diverse user preferences, and sensitive to suboptimal suggestions, limiting their applicability to IoT device operations. To address these issues, we propose DevPiolt, a LLM-based recommendation model for IoT device operations. Specifically, we first equip the LLM with fundamental domain knowledge of IoT operations via continual pre-training and multi-task fine-tuning. Then, we employ direct preference optimization to align the fine-tuned LLM with specific user preferences. Finally, we design a confidence-based exposure control mechanism to avoid negative user experiences from low-quality recommendations. Extensive experiments show that DevPiolt significantly outperforms baselines on all datasets, with an average improvement of 69.5% across all metrics. DevPiolt has been practically deployed in Xiaomi Home app for one quarter, providing daily operation recommendations to 255,000 users. Online experiment results indicate a 21.6% increase in unique visitor device coverage and a 29.1% increase in page view acceptance rates.
