When Retrieval Metrics Mislead: Measuring Policy Signal in Long-Horizon Tool-Use Agents

arXiv:2606. 23937v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Exact-match retrieval recall is often used as a proxy for whether a retriever supplies useful policy context to a downstream decision model.

Post-Training at the Edge of Detectability: A Game-Theoretic Approach to Fine-Tuning

arXiv:2607. 26358v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Reinforcement learning (RL) fine-tuning is widely used in language model training to improve model performance on a target task while limiting drift from a reference policy.

Deterministic Decisions for High-Stakes AI. A Zero-Egress Pipeline with the Deployability of RAG and the Accuracy of Machine Learning

arXiv:2606. 29280v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We identify intervention bias as a previously unquantified failure mode of zero-shot large-language-model (LLM) educational advisory agents: without task-specific training, they recommend action when a hindsight-optimal oracle policy mandates inaction.

Post-Training at the Edge of Detectability: A Game-Theoretic Approach to Fine-Tuning

Reinforcement learning (RL) fine-tuning is widely used in language model training to improve model performance on a target task while limiting drift from a reference policy. A standard way to balance this trade-off is via a KL-regularized RL objective, although this formulation does not by itself provide a principled way to set the regularization coefficient.
