Leaderboards, eval harnesses and ablations — the contested business of deciding which model is actually better.
arXiv:2608. 05813v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Personalizing language models (LMs) to individual user preferences is essential for aligning responses with diverse goals and backgrounds.
arXiv:2608. 05987v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Reinforcement learning (RL) with verifiable rewards constructs trajectory-level advantage estimates, yet it often fails to credit the few pivotal decisions that determine outcomes in long-horizon, multi-turn agentic tasks.
arXiv:2608. 06012v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Search-agent rewards mix answer quality, citation grounding, tool cost, and anti-hacking terms; a high score therefore need not imply that cited evidence was retrieved, and added penalties can cancel.
arXiv:2608. 06057v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Tool-calling agents infer task state from accumulated dialogue and tool traces.
arXiv:2608. 06037v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Relational inductive biases are essential for capturing structural dependencies among data.
arXiv:2608. 06108v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Investment competence is inherently personalized: the same market evidence can justify different actions for investors with different goals, horizons, portfolios, and risk boundaries.
arXiv:2608. 06110v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This paper presents ECHO (Enhanced Care \& Health Observer), a locally-deployable conversational health assistant for long-term chronic care management.
arXiv:2608. 06128v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Search agents extend large language models beyond static parametric memory by enabling them to acquire and use ex ternal evidence during multi-step reasoning.
arXiv:2608. 06144v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Most agent benchmarks evaluate tasks independently and cannot measure whether experience from one task helps with later tasks.
arXiv:2608. 06265v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Synthetic clinical benchmarks for enterprise AI agents can pass existing utility checks and still remain structurally unrealistic, especially in privacy-sensitive healthcare settings where operational data are hard to access.
arXiv:2608. 06294v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Cardiac arrest remains one of the most lethal conditions encountered in intensive care units.
arXiv:2608. 06346v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: LLM-based agentic systems have shown remarkable capabilities in complex domains, while suffering from cascading errors and difficulty in debugging.
arXiv:2607. 06420v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Visual counting is a fundamental pillar of multimodal intelligence, requiring a seamless integration of fine-grained grounding and spatial reasoning.
arXiv:2608. 05151v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Wastewater operators need answers grounded in how their plant's variables interact and how fast effects propagate, not in generic pretraining text, when asking causal questions such as "why is N2O rising?
arXiv:2608. 05179v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language model (LLM) agents are increasingly used across the scientific research lifecycle: ideation, literature search, experiment design and execution, analysis, manuscript drafting, and review.
arXiv:2608. 05493v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Language models (LMs) are increasingly used to interact with external services via programs written in domain-specific languages (DSLs).
arXiv:2608. 05651v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language model (LLM)-driven evolution has shown promise for program search and algorithm discovery, but relying on strong models throughout long evolutionary runs is costly.
arXiv:2608. 05608v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multimodal classification typically assumes all modalities are available, yet real-world inputs are often incomplete.
arXiv:2608. 05683v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Cross-modal alignment of visual and textual representations is fundamental to multimodal medical image understanding, yet remains hindered by uncertainty in both modalities under real-world clinical conditions.
arXiv:2608. 05715v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Vision-Language Models (VLMs) are increasingly deployed as planners in robotic systems, where they translate natural-language commands into executable actions grounded in visual scene understanding.
