Don't Claim Benchmark-Oriented Optimization Improves General Coding Capability -- Diverse Evaluation Is Required

arXiv:2608. 13566v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Post-training papers, model cards, and blog posts often treat scores on a small set of coding benchmarks (e.

Inducing Reward-Free Judging Rubrics that Reduce Over-Crediting in Agent Evaluation

arXiv:2608. 13564v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Evaluating language-model agents at scale increasingly relies on a second language model as an automatic judge, because the gold signal, an executable environment reward, is expensive, slow, or unavailable at deployment time.

Semantically Labelled Automata for Multi-Task Reinforcement Learning with LTL Instructions

arXiv:2602. 06746v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We study multi-task reinforcement learning (RL), a setting in which an agent learns a single, universal policy capable of generalising to arbitrary, possibly unseen tasks.

MedClaw: Heuristic Agent Harness for Long-Horizon Surgical Video Reasoning

arXiv:2608. 14015v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Understanding tens-of-minutes surgical videos requires long-horizon temporal reasoning, answering what happens before, after, or across stages of a procedure by grounding the question in visual evidence spread across time.
