Self-evolving network verifiers

arXiv:2608. 11340v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Symbolic network verifiers can reason about correctness across vast spaces of routing inputs and failures, but only for the protocols and features an expert has encoded by hand.

Advancing MLLM-based UAV Image Understanding and Reasoning: A Benchmark and a Training-Free Multi-Agent System

arXiv:2608. 11738v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multimodal Large Language Model (MLLM)-based UAV aerial image understanding and reasoning is essential for aerial intelligence yet poses distinct challenges arising from extreme scale variation, arbitrary camera orientations, and high object density.

RecSys Factory: Bounding LLM Agent Autonomy to Decision Points in the Industrial Recommender Lifecycle

arXiv:2608. 11241v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Deploying LLM agents into industrial recommender operations exposes a three-way tension we frame as the autonomy-determinism-efficiency trilemma: general autonomy (interpreting operator intent, generating glue code zero-shot), industrial determinism (schema-conforming feature extraction, non-crashing A/B, zero compliance-path hallucination), and end-to-end efficiency.
