Reinforcement Learning Enables Autonomous Microrobot Navigation and Intervention in Simulated Blood Capillaries

arXiv:2606. 26154v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Autonomous microrobots navigating biological vasculature could enable targeted drug delivery and thrombolysis, yet training control policies for realistic environments remains an open challenge.

The Spec Growth Engine: Spec-Anchored, Code-Coupled, Drift-Enforced Architecture for AI-Assisted Software Development

arXiv:2606. 27045v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: AI coding agents dramatically accelerate implementation speed but introduce two structural failure modes that existing spec-driven approaches do not fully solve: (1) context explosion -- the agent must reason over an entire repository at once, degrading output quality as the context window fills; and (2) silent spec-code drift -- code evolves, the specification does not, and the divergence becomes invisible until it is costly to repair.

Learning to Explain Air Traffic Situation

arXiv:2502. 10764v4 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Understanding how air traffic controllers construct a mental 'picture' of complex air traffic situations is crucial but remains a challenge due to the inherently intricate, high-dimensional interactions between aircraft, pilots, and controllers.

Parametric Open Source Games

arXiv:2606. 27068v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Open-source game theory studies agents whose behavior may depend on one another's decision procedures, but most existing models use discrete or symbolic programs.

Adaptive Utility driven Resource Orchestration for Resilient AI (AURORA-AI)

arXiv:2606. 27005v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Modern AI systems are increasingly deployed under non-stationary computational, demographic, and operational conditions in which static resource allocation strategies degrade both predictive performance and human-centric properties such as fairness and explainability.

Autoformalization of Agent Instructions into Policy-as-Code

arXiv:2606. 26649v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Agent safety in high-stakes domains requires formal policy enforcement, but most existing approaches either rely on probabilistic guardrails (fine-tuned classifiers, prompt-based steering) that offer no formal guarantees, or on hand-coded symbolic enforcement that does not scale to the breadth of real policy specifications.

Theory-Scale Auto-Formalization of Logics for Computer Science

arXiv:2606. 26525v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Auto-formalization is critical for scalable formal verification, but existing progress largely focuses on isolated statements, while theory-scale auto-formalization, which coherently translates hundreds of interdependent definitions, lemmas, and theorems, remains open due to challenges in consistency, faithfulness, scalability, and correctness.

OpenFinGym: A Verifiable Multi-Task Gym Environment for Evaluating Quant Agents

arXiv:2606. 26350v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Although large language model agents are increasingly applied to quantitative-finance workflows, their evaluation remains fragmented across isolated tasks, while the financial relevance of benchmark tasks is often overlooked.
