Tokenizer Tokens Tell Training Tales

Tokenizers are usually treated as fixed preprocessing tools, but they are trained on text and can retain traces of that text in their vocabularies. We ask whether a BPE tokenizer can reveal if a candidate dataset was part of its training corpus. The key observation is simple. Rare strings become tokens only when enough corpus frequency pushes them over the merge threshold. This suggests that membership signal should appear in rare tokens used by the candidate dataset, rather than in the order in which merges were made. We formalize this under a threshold model of BPE inclusion, showing that the likelihood-ratio test assigns its largest weights to tokens that are rare in the background but frequent in the candidate dataset. The same model suggests that merge rank and merge-graph position should not add a first-order membership signal once token existence and dataset frequency are known. We instantiate this view as RTAM-Fusion, which calibrates rare-token mass with shadow tokenizers and combines signals across rarity levels. On the tokenizer membership benchmark, RTAM-Fusion improves AUC and balanced accuracy over Vocabulary Overlap while using fewer shadow tokenizers. Existing defenses also continue to leak membership signal against adaptive attackers at production vocabulary sizes. Code: https://anonymous.4open.science/r/RTAM-Fusion-F7EE/

CovFedAvg: Local Low-Loss Curves and Federated Model Selection

Clients observing different parts of a prediction task may learn locally equivalent models with incompatible behavior outside their observed support. We study whether redundant models permit local low-loss paths toward a compatible shared model. CovFedAvg retains local models and curve controls on clients, fits a common endpoint through aggregated gradient contributions, and selects an actual candidate model using distributed training losses. No centralized calibration examples or client-to-client sample exchange are required. Exact selection guarantees no higher evaluated training loss than the previous model and the current-round FedAvg candidate; this is not a global-optimality, stationarity, generalization, or differential-privacy guarantee. We state conditional client-compatibility and approximate-selection bounds and retain corrected transformation identities and a separate full-gradient safeguard theorem for reference algorithms. A complementary input-support example recovers the shared absolute-value regression, while matched direct fine-tuning also solves it. Across a synthetic support task, recorded activity-recognition subjects, and participating and future gas-sensor batches, we evaluate five methods, five seeds, two network widths, and 20 rounds without calibration data. At width 16, CovFedAvg raises participating-Gas macro balanced accuracy from FedAvg's 88.88% to 89.84%; matched distributed fine-tuning reaches 91.65%. Results support feasibility and modest gains over FedAvg, but do not establish a curve-specific advantage over equally costly optimization. Exact-sum numerical experiments establish data flow; end-to-end privacy requires additional mechanisms and analysis.

Data-driven Random-feature Approximation of Koopman Generators of Nonlinear Continuous-time Systems

Learning continuous-time dynamical systems from data is an active area of research. The Koopman formalism is often used here, because it is a flexible approach that is informative about the system's fundamental properties. The formalism represents dynamical systems through linear operators acting on a suitable function space. A practical difficulty arising in the numerical approximation of Koopman operators is the choice of a ``dictionary'', meaning an effective finite-dimensional representation of the function space. In this paper, we focus on learning dynamical systems in continuous-time, and so we consider numerical approximations of the Koopman generator instead of the Koopman operator. Our main contribution is a data-driven random-feature method to obtain a parsimonious and effective function representation for Galerkin approximation methods such as gEDMD. The representation we construct is data-informed, which allows us to improve upon data-agnostic methods. We empirically demonstrate the suitability of our method for forecasting tasks and system analysis. The numerical experiments show that our approach is accurate, and faster than iterative optimization. Further, we prove convergence of our approximation of the vector field and the resulting trajectories. In addition to the numerical results, we also make theoretical contributions, including a general convergence criterion for the semigroup generated by the gEDMD approximation and a counterexample showing that gEDMD does not generally preserve exponential boundedness. With our contribution, we advance the frontier of efficiently learning continuous-time dynamics from data, towards interpretable and mathematically robust modelling based on the Koopman framework.

TACFormer: Transformer-Based Generative Model for Target-Conditioned De Novo PROTAC Design

Targeted protein degradation (TPD) represents a fundamental shift in drug discovery, moving beyond traditional target inhibition toward the event-driven removal of disease-causing proteins. A prominent strategy for TPD is the use of proteolysis-targeting chimeras (PROTACs), heterobifunctional molecules that selectively route a protein of interest (POI) to the ubiquitin-proteasome system for degradation. While PROTAC design still relies heavily on trial-and-error synthesis and experimental testing, deep generative models offer a promising means to explore PROTAC chemical space in silico and generate novel molecules. However, many existing generative methods formulate PROTAC design primarily as a linker-generation problem, with POI-binding (warhead) and E3-ligase-binding components fixed in advance. This restricts exploration of the full PROTAC chemical space and often leaves the POI implicit through the predefined warhead, rather than using protein-level information as an explicit conditioning signal during generation. To address these limitations, we propose TACFormer: a transformer-based generative model for target-aware de novo PROTAC design. The model conditions a GPT-style molecular decoder on pretrained ESM-2 representations of POI sequences, allowing POI-level information to steer full-molecule generation. Our results show that TACFormer generates highly novel and chemically diverse PROTACs while showing consistent POI-dependent shifts in generated chemical space. In particular, molecules generated under specific target conditions preferentially populate chemical neighborhoods associated with POIs in the held-out dataset, while extrapolating to novel chemotypes. By natively integrating biological context into the generative process, TACFormer moves PROTAC design toward a more biology-informed exploration of degrader chemical space.

sDMD: Sinkhorn Distribution Matching Distillation

Distribution Matching Distillation (DMD) distills multi-step diffusion models into few-step generators by minimizing reverse KL divergence. Despite its strong performance, DMD guides samples by local density alone, which introduces two limitations: teacher scores can be unreliable in regions of low teacher density, and the mode-seeking behavior of reverse KL can collapse the student onto a subset of the teacher modes. We first connect DMD to Wasserstein gradient flow, showing that its gradient follows from a fixed-point formulation with integral KL (IKL) as the energy functional. This perspective motivates augmenting IKL with an optimal transport term that addresses these limitations by guiding outlier samples toward the target and promoting mode coverage. We realize this term using Sinkhorn divergence estimated from finite batches. In practice, however, errors in the estimated Sinkhorn velocity can perturb in-domain samples for which IKL guidance is already accurate. To this end, we introduce sDMD, which adaptively activates the Sinkhorn correction based on discriminator outputs, focusing on outlier samples where IKL may be unreliable. With 2--4 sampling steps on FLUX.1-dev, Qwen-Image-20B, and Wan2.1-14B, sDMD outperforms distillation baselines on GenEval, DPG, WISE, and VBench while improving sample diversity over DMD2.

KARMA: Training-Free Knowledge-Atomic Harness Evolution for Industrial Advertising Agents

Industrial advertising agents must continually adapt their decision knowledge to changing product offerings, traffic patterns, and operating policies. We present KARMA (Knowledge-Atomic, Regression-Gated Modular Adaptation), a training-free framework that evolves six typed knowledge modules while keeping model weights and executable harness code frozen. During our evolution, a deterministic Trace Verifier maps observed errors to candidate modules, and a Critic compares successful and failed trajectories to guide a tool-constrained Evolver. The Evolver applies atomic knowledge edits, which a fixed validation gate retains only when their measured gain reaches a threshold; otherwise, the previous knowledge state is restored. We evaluate KARMA with three LLM families on cases sampled from a corpus of approximately half a million real-world operation logs across six e-commerce domains. Across 18 domain--model settings, KARMA raises the average hold-out score from 30.19 to 39.15 (+8.96 points, +29.7%). Ablations show that removing either successful or failed trajectories more than halves the average hold-out gain. Evolved knowledge also transfers across domains without further adaptation, yielding an average hold-out gain of 8.54 points across all source--target pairs. By linking retained patches to their diagnostic evidence and validation outcomes, KARMA supports inspectable, reversible knowledge adaptation for agents in Web marketplaces.

Turing LLM Post-Training: Calibrated Distillation and Efficient Dynamic-MoE Execution

We study post-training for dynamically routed mixture-of-experts (MoE) models, focusing on integrating independently optimized specialists while keeping consolidation efficient. Our approach combines calibrated multi-teacher on-policy distillation (C-MOPD), which matches each selected teacher on a local Top-K support with teacher-wise loss normalization and clipping, with an execution path that uses post-capacity bounded-width dispatch, final-route replay, and asynchronous rollout--training overlap. On Turing-20B-A2B, the selected model achieves a four-domain normalized integration score of 0.9988 and retains at least 90.16\% of the measured specialist gain in every domain. At matched K=32, the full calibration objective scores 0.9962, compared with 0.9724 without calibration and 0.9834 without clipping. At a matched 8K response cap, the model exceeds both shared SFT and Qwen3-8B on all four reasoning-enabled mathematics and code benchmarks (unweighted mean: 85.92, versus 80.33 for Qwen3-8B and 74.21 for SFT), and improves over SFT on ten of twelve broader evaluation metrics. In a PPU-based profile, the combined execution configuration reduces consolidation step time from 398.7 to 139.3 seconds, an observed 2.86speedup over serial execution. These results demonstrate strong specialist integration alongside more efficient consolidation, while reflecting the complete training and execution framework rather than any single component.

Incorporating Machine-Others: An Enactive Exploration of Human-LLM Interactions

New concepts based in interactional thinking are required to understand how humans are changed by relating to LLMs. Standard theories of technological impact upon users' autonomy are inadequate here, because this technology is capable of inducing linguistic interactions with humans in an unprecedented manner. Traditional theories of social cognition also fall short, because LLMs have neither autonomy nor minds nor sociality as such. And yet, humans interact, talk, and create with them. We base ourselves on enactive theory, particularly on the theory of Linguistic Bodies and recent developments of enactive accounts of AI, to explore how we make sense with machines. We argue that we incorporate machine-others in two ways: in the tool-like sense of incorporation as enabling particular skills, but also in the more linguistic and identity-tied sense of incorporating (and incarnating) LLMs' ways of languaging. However, LLMs are themselves excorporated and excarnated phantoms of our own languaging; we give a (machinic) body to our language. As such, we are not just incorporating machinic others; we are incorporating excorporated others. These conceptual advances draw a new map of our linguistic relation to LLMs, putting them in continuation with other forms of languaging involving other linguistic artifacts (e.g., religious books). We attend to some particular forms that this relation takes today, and how they may be impacting the autonomy and becoming of LLM-engaged humans. We introduce the idea of "susceptive sense-making" to characterize increased semiotic labour that is carried by the lack of friction that we sometimes encounter within these services.

Probabilistic Meshless Methods on Manifolds

Probabilistic meshless methods solve partial differential equations (PDEs) by placing a Gaussian process prior on the solution and conditioning it on the PDE at a finite set of collocation nodes. The posterior provides both an approximation of the solution and a Bayesian quantification of its error. While these methods are well established on Euclidean domains, their extension to manifolds lacks, to our knowledge, any convergence analysis. We extend them to compact manifolds and study their convergence in two settings. First, for known manifolds whose Laplace-Beltrami eigenpairs are available, the prior can be evaluated exactly, but the PDE operator generally cannot be applied to it in closed form. We replace this operator by a standard generalized finite difference discretization on a point cloud sampled from the manifold, and show that the resulting method is consistent at the points of the cloud, at a rate governed by their fill distance. Second, for implicit manifolds, known only through a point cloud, both the prior and the operator must be approximated. We propose a new generalized finite difference scheme with a free stencil radius, and show that it retains the consistency of the standard construction while controlling the growth of its coefficients, and that an appropriate radius yields uniform convergence of the discrete Gram matrix. In both settings, we derive error bounds for the posterior mean which separate the collocation error intrinsic to the method from the error due to approximating the operator and, for implicit manifolds, the prior. Experiments on the circle, the sphere and the flat torus confirm our theoretical claims. On real-world cortical thickness data, our approach attains the accuracy of established discretizations, while conditioning on fewer than a tenth of the observations and providing a credible interval at every vertex.

Attention, Dynamic Wave and Hybrid Sequence Mixers in Language Models

Large Language Models (LLMs) rely on Multi-Head Attention (MHA) for sequence modeling, but scaling to long contexts is constrained by the quadratic cost of attention, motivating sub-quadratic recurrent alternatives. This paper formalizes a Dynamic Wave recurrent layer, based on input-dependent exponential damping and cosine phase modulation, and evaluates three 10.94M-parameter configurations (Pure Transformer, Pure Wave, and Hybrid Wave-Attention) on TinyStories under perplexity, latency, throughput and peak VRAM profiling up to 4096 tokens. The Hybrid configuration reaches the best perplexity, 5.95 on the full held-out split against 6.93 for the Transformer and 7.26 for Pure Wave. The efficiency picture, however, is governed by implementation rather than by architecture. Against an unfused attention baseline, Pure Wave uses 78.7% less peak VRAM at a 4096-token context (1404.3 MB vs. 6601.6 MB); against a fused scaled-dot-product attention kernel the same comparison yields no advantage at all (1404.3 MB vs. 1403.6 MB), and in training mode Pure Wave is 8.3% more expensive than the Transformer. Likewise, hoisting elementwise terms out of the recurrence loop speeds the layer up 2.53-fold with no custom kernel, reducing its latency gap to attention from 2.48-fold to 1.12-fold. A hybrid stack is found to inherit the cost of its more expensive mixer rather than the advantage of its cheaper one, its peak VRAM matching the Pure Transformer to within 0.1%. A closed-form memory model reproduces these measurements and predicts the context length beyond which attention overtakes the vocabulary projection. The findings indicate that reported efficiency gains for recurrent attention replacements must be stated relative to a named attention backend and a named implementation, and that hybridization is best justified on quality grounds.

KV Cache Quantization for Diffusion Language Models

KV cache quantization is well studied for autoregressive language models, where cached prefix states are exact under causal attention and quantization is mainly a cache reconstruction problem. Diffusion language models (dLLMs) break this assumption. Fast dLLM inference reuses KV states across denoising steps, but bidirectional token representations can change as masked tokens are revealed, so the reused cache may already differ from full recomputation before quantization is applied. We study KV cache quantization under this cache-reuse error. We adapt KIVI and KVQuant to Fast-dLLM-style prefix and dual cache reuse, and introduce TRACE and dLLM-KVQ. TRACE reconstructs feasible dLLM reveal trajectories from prompt-answer pairs, providing calibration states that match iterative masked decoding. dLLM-KVQ uses these trajectories to choose per-layer K-cache entries that remain in high precision according to output- and attention-level behavior metrics, while applying standard low-bit value quantization. Across LLaDA and Dream evaluations on GSM8K, HumanEval, MATH, and MBPP, dLLM-KVQ achieves the highest average score among quantized methods across the reported 4-bit and 2-bit prefix/dual cache settings.

DWISE: Denoising Workload-Informed Scheduling Engine

Unlike autoregressive large language models (AR-LLMs), diffusion LLMs (dLLMs) generate text by iteratively denoising many tokens in parallel, offering a promising path to efficient inference. Existing serving frameworks, however, schedule dLLM requests with policies designed for AR models, namely first-come-first-served (FCFS) admission and prefill priority. We find that both policies are ill-suited to dLLMs, wasting much of their speed. FCFS ignores that a dLLM request's decoding cost is highly heterogeneous and unknown at arrival, causing severe head-of-line blocking. Prefill priority, widely used in AR-LLM serving to keep time-to-first-token low, sharply cuts dLLM efficiency, as rounds that run only prompts leave most of the batch idle. We present DWISE, a Denoising Workload-Informed Scheduling Engine for efficient dLLM serving. DWISE schedules requests by their remaining work, measured in a block-level unit shared by prefill and denoising, so both phases share a round. To predict the unknown denoising workload, DWISE combines a lightweight prompt-based predictor at admission with a single refinement from the first denoising round's hidden states, which capture model-specific information absent from the prompt and require no additional model execution. Implemented in SGLang and evaluated on five models from three dLLM families under bursty workloads, DWISE reduces mean end-to-end latency over SGLang by 5.4on average and up to 14.9while preserving task accuracy. The code will be released publicly.

LiDAR-SHIELD: A Fully Dockerized Adversarial Robustness Assessment Framework for LiDAR-Based 3D Perception Models

LiDAR-based 3D perception underpins autonomous driving and robotics, yet deploying these models safely requires stress-testing them against adversarial inputs before real-world use. Although state-of-the-art adversarial attacks exist, their implementations are often fragmented across individual repositories, each tied to a specific architecture or task and requiring manual environment reconstruction and model-specific integration code. We present LIDARSHIELD, a unified and fully Dockerized framework that reverses this workflow: rather than installing the target model inside the toolkit, LIDARSHIELD exposes any model through three lightweight HTTP endpoints, namely /info, /forward, and /gradient As a result, connecting a new model or dataset requires only a single loader function or adapter. The framework supports both 3D semantic segmentation and 3D object detection through the same engine-service protocol, integrating a task-aware suite of state-of-the-art attacks, including PGD and Square Attack for segmentation, and point perturbation, point removal, point injection, and LiDAttack for detection. This enables systematic exposure of corner cases and vulnerabilities across heterogeneous LiDAR backbones. The LiDAR-Shield codebase is publicly available at https://github.com/alexandrosgk/LiDAR-shield.

Surprise Alone Learns Lies: Evidence-Gated Continual Learning for LLMs from Streaming Claims

Continual learning methods for large language models increasingly decide what to learn by surprise, keeping the inputs the model finds least predictable. This rule is unsafe when the stream contains lies. A planted falsehood about something the model knows has low probability under the model's belief, so it is highly surprising by construction, and a surprise-driven learner absorbs nearly every such lie, at a rate similar to random selection with the same budget. We study the problem with LoRA-adapted students (Qwen2.5-1.5B, Qwen2.5-3B and Llama-3.2-3B) that learn from a stream of true and false claims about invented people and real CounterFact facts. We report four findings. (1) A verifier key, a judge that must approve each claim, removes lies to the extent that its verifier is accurate; real LLM judges are cautious and reject unsourced truths and even source-backed updates. (2) Calibrated regression tests on unrelated knowledge slow learning down without filtering out lies. (3) The original model's own prior flags claims that contradict what it knows, without a judge. It separates lies about known facts from true new facts (AUC 0.78-0.83 across three models) but not from legitimate updates of the same kind of fact (AUC 0.53). It saves 43% of judge calls, but an attacker with access to the model can choose lies that pass it. (4) If trusted sources exist that an attacker cannot plant, routing contradicted claims to evidence recovers legitimate updates and the combined system has the lowest poison rate among learned claims; when an attacker plants matching sources for 30% of the lies, the system ends up worse than the judge alone. The acceptance signals answer different questions, and none of them decides on its own whether a claim is true.

Exploring the Potential of Symbolic Regression in Precision Livestock Farming

The ability to predict farrowing time in pigs is crucial for optimal farm management and ensuring piglet survival. This study investigates the potential of explainable artificial intelligence for precision livestock farming, focusing on acceleration sensor data from sows around the time of farrowing. Accurately predicting farrowing allows farmers to balance both, piglet safety by avoiding piglet crushing events and the mother sow's welfare, by avoiding early crating. Traditional machine learning models often lack interpretability (``closed-box'' problem). Explainable artificial intelligence offers a solution by revealing the decision-making processes within the models. This work is split into two stages. First the detection of nest building behaviour and second the prediction of the remaining time to farrowing. The nest building detection was possible for 166 out of 180 sows and successful within 48 hours before farrowing for 149 sows. The nest building detection is purely based on the change of a sow's activity level and uses no machine learning techniques. Further, this study utilizes symbolic regression, an open-box modelling technique that generates interpretable mathematical formulas, to predict the remaining time until the onset of farrowing. The results are compared with closed-box models, like support vector regression and artificial neural networks, for both explainability and performance. Notably, symbolic regression achieved a mean absolute error of 9.28 hours for the time-to-farrowing prediction, outperforming the closed-box models in terms of performance and interpretability. This research demonstrates that explainable artificial intelligence, specifically symbolic regression, can offer both interpretable results and competitive performance in precision livestock farming.

SHPRR: An Algorithm for Pure Exploration under Constrained Regret

Best Arm Identification (BAI) conventionally measures the cost of experimentation by the number of samples collected. In many operational settings, however, the cost of exploration relative to a trusted baseline already in place is equally important. We study BAI under both a fixed sampling horizon and a regret budget. Unlike generic resources considered in constrained pure exploration, regret has a distinctive structure: sampling better arms is less costly relative to the baseline. We theoretically show that the regret cost of exploration decreases across the phases of Sequential Halving, a widely used pure-exploration algorithm. This observation yields improved guarantees on the probability of identifying the best arm and motivates a more effective allocation of the regret budget. We propose Sequential Halving with Proportional Regret Rationing (SHPRR), which front-loads the regret budget to allow more exploration when many arms remain. Experiments on synthetic and real-world instances show that SHPRR improves best-arm identification performance over uniform regret allocation and existing baselines.

Aligning Medical Vision Language Models at the Capability Boundary with Entropy Adaptive Rubric Grounding

Medical diagnostic reasoning requires verifiable links between visual evidence and clinical knowledge, yet current medical vision language models are aligned with objectives that reward the wrong behavior. Uniform supervised fine tuning lets easy cases dominate updates while clinically critical boundary cases saturate prematurely. Sparse rewards based only on final-answer correctness cannot assess anatomical grounding or clinical logic, inviting reward hacking through answer shortcuts. We propose MedCBR, a two-stage alignment framework coupling boundary-aware preference optimization with rubric-grounded reinforcement learning. First, we construct counterfactual boundary preferences at the model's capability frontier using empirical pass rates and preference pairs that share reasoning prefixes but diverge at decisive diagnostic branches. Difficulty Weighted Boundary Preference Optimization (DBPO) concentrates learning on this calibrated boundary region. Second, we distill reusable clinical rubrics from boundary trajectories and activate them according to prediction entropy. Entropy Gated Grounded Policy Optimization (EGPO) rewards answer correctness, anatomical grounding, and reasoning fidelity while suppressing rubric noise on reliable samples. A reference policy anchored to the boundary-aligned model couples population-level boundary priors with instance-level uncertainty, making diagnostic reasoning more accurate and clinically grounded. Experiments on six medical benchmarks show consistent improvements over strong general, specialized, and reinforcement learning baselines, reaching 61.2% average accuracy with the largest gains on challenging differential diagnosis tasks. Ablations show super-additive gains: combining the two stages exceeds the sum of their individual improvements.

AegisFlow: Training-Free Non-Myopic Path-Safe Guided Flow Matching

Pretrained generative models, such as diffusion and flow matching models, have demonstrated exceptional capabilities in synthesizing high-quality data. However, steering their generative trajectories to satisfy strict constraints--such as identity preservation in image editing or obstacle avoidance in robotics--remains fundamentally challenging. While recent training-free guidance methods enforce path-safety, they rely heavily on min-norm controllers that only account for immediate constraint satisfaction. These myopic approaches often yield suboptimal trajectories that hover dangerously close to the boundary, severely restricting the model's ability to optimize toward its target. In this paper, we propose AegisFlow, a training-free, non-myopic path-safe guidance framework that recasts guided generation as a safety-critical optimal control problem with global scope. By integrating a time-varying barrier function directly into the global cost functional, AegisFlow naturally enforces constraints along the entire generative path. To compute the global optimal control, we derive a tractable, mathematically grounded approximation of the Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman (HJB) equation. Comprehensive experiments demonstrate that AegisFlow outperforms state-of-the-art methods across text-guided image manipulation and robotic planning, establishing a significantly better trade-off between target alignment and constraint satisfaction. Code is available at https://github.com/LiuKunpeng03/AegisFlow.

Possibility-based Inference: A Deterministic Framework for Robust and Reliable Uncertainty Quantification in Decision-Making

Decision-making under uncertainty remains a key issue in Machine Learning (ML), particularly in the deployment of safety-critical systems, where reliable quantification of system behavior is essential for evaluating behavioral impacts and strengthening confidence in ML models. This contribution, influenced by fuzzy set theory and grounded in Bayesian statistics, addresses challenges related to data precision and the performance-accuracy trade-off in Bayesian inference (BI). To this end, we introduce a possibility-based contrastive grade of prediction as an alternative quantification method to existing latent posterior-based approaches for parameter estimation (approximation) and model selection. Unlike conventional Bayesian inference, which represents uncertainty within the probabilistic framework, the proposed model adopts a possibility-based representation that allows uncertain and potentially conflicting information to be characterized more flexibly. Rather than focusing on isolated aspects of a problem, the resulting mathematical framework provides a systematic approach to data mining while mitigating overly confident, yet implausible predictions generated by highly specialized deep learning architectures.

EvoTeam: Multi-Agent Collaboration via Evolving Teams

LLM-based multi-agent systems (MAS) rely on collaboration among specialized agents to solve complex tasks. Existing methods improve MAS by refining the prompts, skills, and execution strategies of individual agents based on task feedback. However, improving individual agents does not necessarily lead to better team collaboration. Recent studies have therefore extended evolution to the collaboration level, using collective execution experience to adjust team organization, and inter-agent interactions. Nevertheless, evolving collaboration across heterogeneous tasks remains challenging, as existing approaches often constrain team reorganization within a shared structure and reuse interaction rules across incompatible team contexts. In this paper, we propose EvoTeam, a collaboration-centric evolution framework that jointly evolves team organization, interaction rules, and individual agent skills through execution experience. It maintains a library of reusable teams, selecting or creating agent teams and guiding collaboration through team-specific interaction rules. Collaboration experience accumulates within compatible team contexts, while individual skills remain reusable across teams. Experiments across four benchmarks demonstrate its effectiveness. Our code is available at https://github.com/DEEP-JLU/EvoTeam.
