Writing effective rebuttals is a high-stakes task that demands more than linguistic fluency, as it requires precise alignment between reviewer intent and manuscript details. Current solutions typically treat this as a direct-to-text generation problem, suffering from hallucination, overlooked critiques, and a lack of verifiable grounding. To address these limitations, we introduce RebuttalAgent, the first multi-agents framework that reframes rebuttal generation as an evidence-centric planning task. Our system decomposes complex feedback into atomic concerns and dynamically constructs hybrid contexts by synthesizing compressed summaries with high-fidelity text while integrating an autonomous and on-demand external search module to resolve concerns requiring outside literature. By generating an inspectable response plan before drafting, RebuttalAgent ensures that every argument is explicitly anchored in internal or external evidence. We validate our approach on the proposed RebuttalBench and demonstrate that our pipeline outperforms strong baselines in coverage, faithfulness, and strategic coherence, offering a transparent and controllable assistant for the peer review process. Code will be released.

In the quest for scientific progress, communicating research is as vital as the discovery itself. Yet, researchers are often sidetracked by the manual, repetitive chore of building project webpages to make their dense papers accessible. While automation has tackled static slides and posters, the dynamic, interactive nature of webpages has remained an unaddressed challenge. To bridge this gap, we reframe the problem, arguing that the solution lies not in a single command, but in a collaborative, hierarchical process. We introduce AutoPage, a novel multi-agent system that embodies this philosophy. AutoPage deconstructs paper-to-page creation into a coarse-to-fine pipeline from narrative planning to multimodal content generation and interactive rendering. To combat AI hallucination, dedicated "Checker" agents verify each step against the source paper, while optional human checkpoints ensure the final product aligns perfectly with the author’s vision, transforming the system from a mere tool into a powerful collaborative assistant. To rigorously validate our approach, we also construct PageBench, the first benchmark for this new task. Experiments show AutoPage not only generates high-quality, visually appealing pages but does so with remarkable efficiency in under 15 minutes for less than $0.1. Code and data will be released.

Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems face efficiency bottlenecks in prefill due to attention mechanism, and traditional KV cache only accelerates decoding. In this context, reusing document-level KV cache computed for retrieved documents in previous sessions during the prefill stage appears to be a natural way to amortize computation, but it raises serious correctness challenges due to position and context misalignment across queries and sessions. This research proposes a multi-document KV cache reuse framework for multi-document RAG workloads across queries and sessions to resolve position misalignment and context misalignment, preserving accuracy while eliminating document-specific quadratic complexity in prefill. Theoretical analysis will establish conditions under which multi-document KV cache reuse remains stable and close to full recomputation, providing principled guarantees for both efficiency and accuracy. These results will enable deployment in existing RAG pipelines without architectural changes or model retraining. Crucially, to ensure robustness in real-world deployments, validation will extend beyond standard benchmarks to include noise-robustness tests and domain-specific workloads (e.g., legal). The research aims to empirically confirm these guarantees and demonstrate that substantial prefill speedups can be achieved without materially degrading task-level performance.
