Mapping the Evaluation Frontier: An Empirical Survey of the Bias-Reliability Tradeoff Across Eleven Evaluator-Agent Conditions

arXiv:2607. 00304v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The bias-reliability tradeoff conjectures that LLM evaluation systems are constrained in (gamma, H, CV) space, where evaluator coupling (gamma), strategy diversity (H), and small-sample measurement reliability (CV(N)) cannot be simultaneously optimized at fixed sample size N.

ATM: CID-Brokered Pre-Write Admission for Multi-Agent Code Co-Synthesis

arXiv:2607. 00041v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multi-agent LLM systems can decompose software-engineering work into planning, generation, validation, and repair, but a narrower systems problem remains: before any governed shared mutation is applied, a system must decide which concurrently formed write intents may proceed in parallel, which require deterministic composition or serialization, and which must take a fail-closed path.

Adversarial Pragmatics for AI Safety Evaluation: A Benchmark for Instruction Conflict, Embedded Commands, and Policy Ambiguity

arXiv:2607. 01153v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Safety evaluations for language models increasingly depend on judgments about ambiguous natural-language behaviour: whether a model has followed an instruction, refused appropriately, complied with a policy, resisted an embedded command, or misreported progress in an agentic task.

LLM-Guided ODE Discovery and Parameter Inference from Small-Cohort Aggregate Data

arXiv:2607. 00733v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Mechanistic modeling via ordinary differential equations (ODEs) provides interpretable descriptions of complex dynamics and enables inference of underlying mechanisms, which is particularly valuable in clinical settings.

KAGE-Bench: Fast Known-Axis Visual Generalization Evaluation for Reinforcement Learning

arXiv:2601. 14232v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Pixel-based reinforcement learning agents often fail under purely visual distribution shift even when latent dynamics and rewards are unchanged, but existing benchmarks entangle multiple sources of shift and hinder systematic analysis.

Mechanical Conscience: A Mathematical Framework for Dependability of Machine Intelligence

arXiv:2605. 03847v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Distributed collaborative intelligence (DCI), encompassing edge-to-edge architectures, federated learning, transfer learning, and swarm systems, creates environments in which emergent risk is structurally unavoidable: locally correct decisions by individual agents compose into globally unacceptable behavioral trajectories under uncertainty.

Distributed Online Bandit Submodular Maximization with Bounded Sampling Violations

arXiv:2607. 00680v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We study distributed online submodular maximization under partition matroid constraints, in which multiple agents select a limited number of actions from their own subsets sequentially to maximize the cumulative value of a sequence of objective functions.
