A case study of evaluating AI agents on a neuroscience data-to-discovery pipeline

arXiv:2606. 07718v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Agentic AI tools offer a promising path to automating software development bottlenecks in scientific research pipelines, particularly for stages that take domain experts days to months to build, where scientists care about correctness and robustness, not implementation details.

Can the Environment Speak for Itself? $T^{2}$-GRPO: A Turn-Trajectory Group Relative Policy Optimization for Caregiver Agents

arXiv:2606. 08875v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Optimizing large language models (LLMs) for long-horizon caregiver agents requires balancing delayed task objectives with immediate environment dynamics, such as patient distress and resistance.

Skill Retrieval Augmentation for Agentic AI

arXiv:2604. 24594v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: As large language models (LLMs) evolve into agentic problem solvers, they increasingly rely on external, reusable skills to handle tasks beyond their native parametric capabilities.

Securing Retrieval-Augmented Generation: A Taxonomy of Attacks, Defenses, and Future Directions

arXiv:2604. 08304v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) extends large language models (LLMs) with external knowledge, but this access path also introduces security risks that existing work often conflates with inherent LLM flaws.

Brain-Prompt Injection: A Route-Safety Audit for BCI-LLM Agents

arXiv:2606. 09315v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: BCI-to-agent pipelines turn decoded neural activity into an authorization channel for tool-use agents, exposing a new attack surface we call \emph{brain-prompt injection}: signal-side perturbations, context-only injections, and adaptive dual-decoder attacks can all change the routed action while EEG-side or text-side monitors remain blind.
