Who Determines the Meaning of an Emotion? Affective Sovereignty as an Epistemic Consequence of Measurement Limits

arXiv:2606. 31442v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Emotion-sensing AI is rapidly becoming embedded in vehicles, home appliances, dialogue agents, and social infrastructure, giving rise to a sphere in which emotion is no longer confined to individual experience but is instead observed and computed at a societal scale, a domain we term the Affectosphere.

SkillOpt: Agent skills as trainable parameters

AI agents often fail because their instructions, or skills, are manually modified with no guarantee of improvement. Learn how SkillOpt turns skill editing into a training process, making agent behavior more reliable without changing model weights.

Theory of Mind and Persuasion Beyond Conversation: Assessing the Capacity of LLMs to Induce Belief States via Planning and Action

Theory of Mind (ToM) benchmarks for Large Language Models (LLMs) typically rely on passive question-answering formats, but the deployment of LLMs in increasingly agentic and autonomous forms demands new evaluations. In this paper we evaluate an agent's ability to induce specific belief states in other agents by taking actions rather than using conversational persuasion, a capability we call Non-Conversational Planning ToM (NCP-ToM).

An Agentic AI Framework to Accelerate Scientific Discovery in Plant Phenotyping

High-throughput plant phenotyping now generates image derived datasets far faster than scientists can analyze them. At Oak Ridge National Laboratory's Advanced Plant Phenotyping Laboratory (APPL), automated stations image hundreds of plants daily across multiple remote sensing modalities; yet, trait extraction and interpretation remain manual, expert-bound, and strictly post-hoc, making analysis, not acquisition, the binding constraint on discovery.

FARS: A Fully Automated Research System Deployed at Scale

Recent automated research systems show that language-model agents can generate hypotheses, run experiments, and write complete manuscripts, but most evidence still comes from selected examples, human-framed topics, or a few pre-defined research tasks. We present FARS (Fully Automated Research System), a fully automated AI-for-AI research system designed to operate across research topics at scale.

CooperScene: Multi-Modal Cooperative Autonomy Benchmark with C-V2X Communication Characterization

Cellular vehicle-to-everything (C-V2X) enables cooperative perception, prediction, and planning beyond the field of view of individual agents. However, existing datasets often overlook the complexities of real-world deployment, such as limited communication bandwidth and its dynamics, heterogeneous sensing modalities, and scalability beyond a single cooperative partner.
