Large language models (LLMs) suffer from catastrophic forgetting during continual learning. Conventional rehearsal-based methods rely on previous training data to retain the model's ability, which may not be feasible in real-world applications. When conducting continual learning based on a publicly-released LLM checkpoint, the availability of the original training data may be non-existent. To address this challenge, we propose a framework called Self-Synthesized Rehearsal (SSR) that uses the LLM to generate synthetic instances for rehearsal. Concretely, we first employ the base LLM for in-context learning to generate synthetic instances. Subsequently, we utilize the latest LLM to refine the instance outputs based on the synthetic inputs, preserving its acquired ability. Finally, we select diverse high-quality synthetic instances for rehearsal in future stages. Experimental results demonstrate that SSR achieves superior or comparable performance compared to conventional rehearsal-based approaches while being more data-efficient. Besides, SSR effectively preserves the generalization capabilities of LLMs in general domains.

Text-to-Video (T2V) generation has benefited from recent advances in diffusion models, yet current systems still struggle under complex scenarios, which are generally exacerbated by the ambiguity and underspecification of text prompts. In this work, we formulate complex-scenario prompt refinement as a stage-wise multi-agent refinement process and propose SCMAPR, i.e., a scenario-aware and Self-Correcting Multi-Agent Prompt Refinement framework for T2V prompting. SCMAPR coordinates specialized agents to (i) route each prompt to a taxonomy-grounded scenario for strategy selection, (ii) synthesize scenario-aware rewriting policies and perform policy-conditioned refinement, and (iii) conduct structured semantic verification that triggers conditional revision when violations are detected. To clarify what constitutes complex scenarios in T2V prompting, provide representative examples, and enable rigorous evaluation under such challenging conditions, we further introduce {T2V-Complexity}, which is a complex-scenario T2V benchmark consisting exclusively of complex-scenario prompts. Extensive experiments on 3 existing benchmarks and our T2V-Complexity benchmark demonstrate that SCMAPR consistently improves text-video alignment and overall generation quality under complex scenarios, achieving up to 2.67\% and 3.28 gains in average score on VBench and EvalCrafter, and up to 0.028 improvement on T2V-CompBench over 3 State-Of-The-Art baselines.

Direct speech translation (ST) has garnered increasing attention nowadays, yet the accurate translation of terminology within utterances remains a great challenge. In this regard, current studies mainly concentrate on leveraging various translation knowledge into ST models. However, these methods often struggle with interference from irrelevant noise and can not fully utilize the translation knowledge. To address these issues, in this paper, we propose a novel Locate-and-Focus method for terminology translation. It first effectively locates the speech clips containing terminologies within the utterance to construct translation knowledge, minimizing irrelevant information for the ST model. Subsequently, it associates the translation knowledge with the utterance and hypothesis from both audio and textual modalities, allowing the ST model to better focus on translation knowledge during translation. Experimental results across various datasets demonstrate that our method effectively locates terminologies within utterances and enhances the success rate of terminology translation, while maintaining robust general translation performance.

Insurance, as a critical component of the global financial system, demands high standards of accuracy and reliability in AI applications. While existing benchmarks evaluate AI capabilities across various domains, they often fail to capture the unique characteristics and requirements of the insurance domain. To address this gap, we present INSEva, a comprehensive Chinese benchmark specifically designed for evaluating AI systems' knowledge and capabilities in insurance. INSEva features a multi-dimensional evaluation taxonomy covering business areas, task formats, difficulty levels, and cognitive-knowledge dimension, comprising 38,704 high-quality evaluation examples sourced from authoritative materials. Our benchmark implements tailored evaluation methods for assessing both faithfulness and completeness in open-ended responses. Through extensive evaluation of 8 state-of-the-art Large Language Models (LLMs), we identify significant performance variations across different dimensions. While general LLMs demonstrate basic insurance domain competency with average scores above 80, substantial gaps remain in handling complex, real-world insurance scenarios. The benchmark will be public soon.
