Diagnosing as Cardiologists Do: ECG Agents with Doctor-Grounded Priors for Clinical Reasoning Across Diseases and Populations

arXiv:2608. 09053v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Cardiologists interpret electrocardiograms by localizing waveform components, measuring rhythm and interval patterns, and translating these structured observations into diagnostic evidence.

Bounding Hallucinations: Merlin-Arthur Protocols for Mutual-Information Bounds in Language Models

arXiv:2512. 11614v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) relies on retrieved context to guide large language models (LLM), yet treats the retrieval as a heuristic rather than verifiable evidence -- leading to unsupported answers, hallucinations, and reliance on spurious context.

Business Truth, not SQL Accuracy: A Rule-Gated 7B Analytics Agent Outperforms a Direct-Prompted 32B Baseline

arXiv:2608. 09254v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: LLM analytics agents are evaluated on SQL syntax accuracy, but production failures look different: questions with two valid business definitions, questions the warehouse cannot answer, deprecated columns after a schema change, and queries that execute successfully while returning the wrong business number.

Improving Constraint Models with LLM Agents

arXiv:2608. 08127v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The runtime of Constraint Programming (CP) solvers is highly sensitive to modeling choices, such as symmetry breaking, implied constraints, global constraints, constraint reformulation, and variable representation.

Long SKILL Compliance as Logical Reasoning: Closure-Grounded Detection with Scaling-Guided On-Policy Distillation

arXiv:2608. 08146v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The increasing complexity of enterprise business scenarios has promoted the widespread adoption of long SKILL documents in agent systems, posing new challenges for compliance detection: large models incur substantial inference costs, while small models may fail to maintain detection accuracy.

QuantumMind: Constraint-Grounded Agentic Reasoning for Speedup Analysis in Quantum Computing

arXiv:2608. 07743v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Identifying a meaningful quantum speedup requires more than matching a classical problem to a familiar quantum primitive: the claim must preserve the task, respect access and output models, expose required promises, and remain within a defensible complexity scope.

From Single Chatbots to Governed Agent Ecosystems: An Agentic AI Pattern Catalogue and Orchestration Framework for Mission-Critical Hospital Information Management Systems

arXiv:2608. 07627v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Hospitals are racing to embed AI, while coping with the surge in adaptation of the technology in other industries, into the triage management, documentation, scheduling, and revenue-cycle workflows, yet most deployments remain as fragmented pilots that stall at the edge of production, exposing patients and institutions to operational fragility, ungoverned risk, and mounting technical debt.
