Leaderboards, eval harnesses and ablations — the contested business of deciding which model is actually better.
arXiv:2608. 02618v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Recent studies have identified an ``Artificial Hivemind'' effect in Large Language Models (LLMs) causing models to converge on a narrow, homogenized consensus even for open questions.
arXiv:2608. 03006v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Prerequisite relation learning is central to adaptive instruction, yet existing methods often formulate it as conventional link prediction, limiting their ability to adaptively integrate complementary educational evidence for individual candidate pairs and to discourage contradictory reverse predictions.
arXiv:2608. 03627v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly used for automated fact-checking, yet their susceptibility to gender bias in this context remains underexplored.
arXiv:2608. 03521v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Forecasting precise future motion of surrounding agents is essential for reliable autonomous vehicles.
arXiv:2608. 03419v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Audio-based piano transcription performs well on onset, pitch, and velocity, but the sustain pedal lets sound persist long after key release, so audio systems predict pedal-extended offsets rather than physical key release.
arXiv:2608. 03620v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Activation patching and weight-space ablation both claim a component is causally responsible for a behavior, yet they act on different objects: one forward pass versus the parameters behind every forward pass.
arXiv:2608. 03733v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have achieved remarkable performance across vision-language tasks, but their progress depends heavily on large-scale, high-quality multimodal data that are costly to annotate.
arXiv:2608. 03177v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: How can question answering (QA) systems determine whether a query is ambiguous?
arXiv:2608. 03297v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: A standard claim in the literature on retrieval-augmented and memory-augmented language models is that shorter context is better when the relevant information is preserved.
arXiv:2608. 03600v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Partial differential equations (PDEs) become actionable in science and engineering not as isolated formulae, but as executable workflows that connect modelling assumptions, governing equations, numerical solvers, diagnostics, and decisions.
arXiv:2608. 03660v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Reinforcement fine-tuning (RFT) is widely believed to inherently resist catastrophic forgetting in continual post-training of multimodal large language models.
arXiv:2608. 03764v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Agent self-evolution updates an agent's persistent state from prior experience and reuses it to solve related tasks more effectively.
arXiv:2608. 02613v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Edge-deployed personal memory assistants must handle private interpersonal conversations on-device with open-weight models.
arXiv:2608. 02670v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Coding agents increasingly run inside organizations whose security controls (scoped credentials, restricted egress, read-only filesystems, non-root execution) constrain them like any other software.
arXiv:2608. 02803v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Attention-based multiple instance learning (ABMIL) is the predominant approach for slide-level prediction in computational pathology, yet its attention maps provide only local explanations: they indicate where a model focuses but not which histological features drive its predictions or how the model behaves across a patient cohort.
arXiv:2608. 02938v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Graph attention normalizes neighborhood scores with softmax, the maximum-entropy choice under Shannon statistics.
arXiv:2608. 02967v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Software fault localization identifies the code locations responsible for reported issues and is a fundamental step toward automated debugging and program repair.
arXiv:2608. 03223v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Agentic reinforcement learning enables LLM agents to learn through interaction, but sparse trajectory-level rewards reveal success without identifying which intermediate decisions deserve credit.
arXiv:2608. 02996v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Latin America is missing a foundational layer for native AI development: the benchmark layer.
arXiv:2608. 03952v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly used to provide conversational practice for English-as-a-second-language (ESL) learners.
