Harnessing Disagreement: Detecting Correlated Agreement Blindness in Multi-Agent Triage

arXiv:2607. 19899v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Disagreement-triggered escalation can create a structural blind spot in multi-agent arbitration: as base learners improve, they tend to converge, weakening safety monitoring where correlated failures concentrate.

Knowledge-Centric Self-Improvement

arXiv:2607. 19592v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Self-improving AI systems typically treat the agent as the object that improves, by optimizing prompts, workflows, harnesses, or even the agent's own code.

TriAgent: Divergence-Aware Multi-Agent Committees for Cost-Efficient Financial Sentiment Analysis

arXiv:2607. 19794v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Production LLM-based financial sentiment analysis faces a structural cost trap: most queries are trivially classifiable, yet expensive cloud reasoners process them all, and the bill scales linearly with user count.

Autonomous Collaborative Learning Among an Ensemble of Tsetlin Machines with Consensus-Based Inference

arXiv:2607. 20124v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Tsetlin Machine (TM) is a rule-based machine-learning algorithm comprising collectives of two-action Tsetlin Automata (TAs) that cooperatively form conjunctive logical clauses from Boolean inputs through stochastic feedback.

In-the-Flow Agentic System Optimization for Effective Planning and Tool Use

arXiv:2510. 05592v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Outcome-driven reinforcement learning has advanced reasoning in large language models (LLMs), but prevailing tool-augmented approaches train a single, monolithic policy that interleaves thoughts and tool calls under full context; this scales poorly with long horizons and diverse tools and generalizes weakly to new scenarios.

Model Gateway: Management Platform for Model-Driven Drug Discovery

arXiv:2512. 05462v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Pharmaceutical drug discovery demands machine learning (ML) infrastructure that goes beyond general-purpose Machine Learning Operations (MLOps): inference-time composition of multiple models for multi-parameter optimization (MPO), version management for physics-based models without serialized ML artifacts, enterprise compound library precomputation, and governance structured around scientific organizational units rather than generic access controls.

Code-in-the-Loop Forensics: Agentic Tool Use for Image Forgery Detection

arXiv:2512. 16300v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Existing image forgery detection (IFD) methods either exploit low-level, semantics-agnostic artifacts or rely on multimodal large language models (MLLMs) with high-level semantic knowledge.

Predictive single cell foundation model for gene regulation and aging with privacy-preserving tabular learning

arXiv:2607. 19400v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Pre-trained foundation models (FMs) have begun transforming single-cell genomics, but scaling them raises privacy concerns.
