ContextNest: Verifiable Context Governance for Autonomous AI Agent

arXiv:2607. 02116v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Autonomous AI agents increasingly depend on external knowledge stores, yet most retrieval pipelines provide relevance without durable guarantees of provenance, version identity, integrity, traceability, or point-in-time reconstruction.

Grounded autonomous scrutiny at scale: emergent critique from reproduction of published computational physics papers

arXiv:2604. 12198v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Autonomous LLM agents now produce complete research artifacts in machine-learning sandboxes, but real computational physics is harder: experiments are first-principles calculations against re-runnable physical ground truth, and meaningful new work almost always builds on a key existing paper.

Who Gets the Reward & Who Gets the Blame? Evaluation-Aligned Training Signals for Multi-LLM Agents

arXiv:2511. 10687v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) in multi-agent systems (MAS) have shown promise for complex tasks, yet current training methods lack principled ways to connect system-level evaluation with agent- and message-level learning.

Auto-FL-Research: Agentic Search for Federated Learning Algorithms

arXiv:2607. 01366v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Federated learning (FL) research often depends on many small but consequential algorithmic choices: optimizer variants, server aggregation rules, local training schedules, normalization, regularization, and model architecture.

OmniGAIA: Towards Native Omni-Modal AI Agents

arXiv:2602. 22897v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Human intelligence naturally intertwines omni-modal perception -- spanning vision, audio, and language -- with complex reasoning and tool usage to interact with the world.

EvoPolicyGym: Evaluating Autonomous Policy Evolution in Interactive Environments

arXiv:2607. 02440v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Autonomous agents are increasingly expected to improve executable policies through feedback, yet existing evaluations often collapse this process into a final score or confound it with open-ended software-engineering progress.

World Feedback for Clinical Agents: Diagnosing RL in FHIR Environments

arXiv:2607. 01470v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Clinical protocol-execution tasks -- checking a lab value, applying a threshold, placing a correctly structured FHIR order -- are natural candidates for RL from world feedback: once clinical SMEs encode decision logic into a verifier, that verifier grades unlimited rollouts without per-episode annotation.
