arXiv:2606. 14965v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Synthetic instance-dependent label noise (IDN) benchmarks are widely used to evaluate noisy-label learning methods, yet existing approaches typically generate noise through imperfect annotators or classifier raters, leaving the source of ambiguity implicit.

arXiv:2606. 10229v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We study whether demonstration-curation metrics that detect defective training episodes also improve the downstream behavior-cloning policy that trains on the curated data.

arXiv:2604. 18245v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Large language models operate in protocols containing multiple calls, yet added calls are usually evaluated only by their net effect.

The paper introduces a training‑free, human‑in‑the‑loop anomaly detection framework that allows a domain expert to correct a PatchCore detector by editing its memory bank, without retraining or using gradients. Using only ten golden samples, operator corrections close a median 66% of the performance gap to a fully trained bank, improving 12 of 15 MVTec AD categories while harming none. The approach is evaluated with a rigorous held‑out protocol and shows that passive and active querying yield statistically indistinguishable gains, with a defect‑memory extension failing decisively.

The paper investigates code-level autonomous research loops (ARLs) where a language model edits training pipelines to improve an in-loop metric. It identifies a failure mode called algorithmic mode collapse, where edits become semantically uniform despite surface diversity, leading to a growing gap between in-loop gains and independent evaluation. The authors propose Diversity‑Aware Proposal Sampling (DAPS), a lightweight method that reduces semantic decay by 69.1% and boosts faithfulness by over 80% while maintaining optimization speed.
