arXiv:2608. 11318v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Many sequential construction tasks exhibit exact symmetry at completion while their execution remains directed and history-dependent.

The study demonstrates that governance records—structured logs linking task contracts, model attempts, verifier decisions, and outputs—can serve as effective supervision for bounded AI models. Using a verifier-selected self‑training approach, the authors show that a Qwen3‑14B model trained on plans accepted by an independent VAL verifier achieved significant gains in plan acceptance across numerous PlanBench replanning cases, outperforming other selection strategies. The results highlight the feasibility of one‑shot execution and cumulative learning without relying on oracle targets or stronger teachers.

The monograph introduces Elimination Geometry (EG), a typed, native‑loss, audit‑oriented framework that investigates when locally optimal objects can be realized by a shared deployment rule. EG examines how elimination and compression can erase distinctions needed for prediction, inference, control, or representation, and it separates local solvability, global realizability, and finite‑sample certifiability. The work synthesizes tools from geometry, optimization, information theory, statistics, and machine learning to address regular, coordination, singular, compositional, and resource‑limited mechanisms, and demonstrates applications in sparse model selection, distribution‑free prediction, observational treatment policies, routed expert and retrieval systems, and learned score fields.

arXiv:2605. 07066v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Autonomous systems that build structures from natural-language instructions need reliable spatial reasoning, yet large language models (LLMs) make systematic coordinate errors when generating three-dimensional block placements.

arXiv:2606. 19605v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multi-step LLM pipelines fail through interactions among retrieval, reasoning, and formatting steps, so prompt-only optimization can miss bottlenecks in the chain.

Scaling pre-training, post-training, and test-time compute have become the central paradigms for improving the capabilities of LLMs. In this work, we identify verification, the ability to determine the correctness of a solution, as a new scaling axis.
arXiv:2608. 13221v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The evaluation of LLM reasoning is moving from final-answer accuracy to process-level assessment, yet existing methods still fail to capture how models plan reasoning paths and allocate reasoning resources--that is, how they organize search.

arXiv:2608. 05466v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: High-quality long-horizon training data for terminal agents is expensive to produce, often costing hundreds to thousands of dollars per task, because each task must keep the instruction, environment, reference solution, and verifier mutually consistent.
