Facial-Expression-Aware Prompting for Empathetic LLM Tutoring

arXiv:2604. 15336v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) enable increasingly capable tutoring-style conversational agents, yet effective tutoring requires sensitivity to learners' affective and cognitive states beyond text alone.

GoGoTB: Agentic RTL Verification with Specification-Grounded Coverage Closure

arXiv:2607. 26181v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Functional verification dominates integrated circuit (IC) front-end engineering effort, and a single missed bug that escapes to silicon can trigger a costly respin.

TraceCoder: Explainable and Auditable Code Generation with Position-Key Snippet Versioning

arXiv:2607. 26307v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Contemporary LLM-based coding agents produce code as black-box outputs: the rationale behind each line is hidden, the evolution of the code through benchmark-driven repair is ephemeral, and post-hoc auditing is impossible.

VistaHop: Benchmarking Long-Horizon Visual DeepSearch

arXiv:2606. 03273v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Visual DeepSearch tasks require multimodal large language models (MLLMs) to resolve complex visual queries by repeatedly inspecting image regions, grounding reasoning in visual evidence, and connecting fine-grained clues across multiple steps.
