arXiv:2507. 14267v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Large language model (LLM) agents can execute long-horizon scientific workflows, but their numerical outputs are difficult to trust: agents lose context, game verification checks, and can produce large volumes of plausible yet invalid results.

arXiv:2606. 28578v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Closed-loop materials discovery iterates between proposing candidate structures and evaluating their properties, and property evaluation dominates the cost.

arXiv:2605. 26540v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Energetic materials power mining, demolition, propulsion and airbags, yet today's compounds were designed decades ago.

arXiv:2605. 26179v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Density functional theory (DFT) serves as the basis for computational discovery in materials science and chemistry, yet each calculation demands extensive human effort: adjusting algorithms when convergence stalls, revising plans when unexpected physics emerges, and inserting steps as intermediate results reshape the problem.

arXiv:2607. 12469v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Many agent-safety evaluation results are not yet load-bearing evidence: identical nominal outcomes (task success, attack success, monitor scores) may sit atop materially different evidence regimes.

arXiv:2607. 00871v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Self-evolving agents violate the assumption behind most learning-theoretic guarantees: the data, evaluator, components, and hypothesis space are produced by the policy being updated.

arXiv:2601. 15423v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We introduce Lattice, a hybrid sequential prediction system that conditionally activates learned behavioral structure using binary confidence gating.

arXiv:2607. 18921v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Circuit extraction identifies a small set of model components whose presence preserves a target behavior under ablation, and the resulting circuit is often read as the mechanism behind that behavior.

arXiv:2607. 17100v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: An AI research agent can improve the score it sees without finding a modelling change that works on new materials.

arXiv:2608. 01303v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Symbolic alpha factor discovery can score a completed expression, but it provides no direct label for the structural decisions that produced it.
