The Economics of Model Collapse: Equilibrium, Welfare, and Optimal Provenance Subsidies in Synthetic Data Markets

arXiv:2605. 20279v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Generative artificial intelligence is rapidly transforming the supply side of training data: an increasing share of new tokens, images, and structured records is produced by previous-generation models rather than by human originators.

SCOPE: Score-Isolated Agentic Optimization for Video World Models

arXiv:2608. 15043v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Video world models are increasingly used as simulators for planning and embodied decision making, yet improving them at inference time introduces a subtle evaluation problem: prompts, samplers, verifiers, and selectors may evolve together, making it difficult to attribute gains or prevent held-out feedback from shaping the final policy.

AeroCopilotBench: A Two-Tier Benchmark for Evaluating LLM Agents as Aviation Copilots in an Interactive Virtual Cockpit Environment

arXiv:2608. 16349v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language model (LLM) agents may assist flight crews with complex decisions and task execution, but existing aviation evaluations centered on static knowledge do not support systematic testing of procedural execution and safety compliance in interactive environments.

DeepInsight II: One Trace from Benchmark to Robot

arXiv:2608. 16556v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Across a Physical AI stack, evaluation maturity is inversely aligned with deployment risk: foundation models enjoy mature, standardized harnesses, while the embodied layers on which deployment actually turns remain fragmented across benchmark-specific simulators, embodiments, and interfaces.

Quipu: A Governed Bitemporal Knowledge Graph Store

arXiv:2608. 16813v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Agents now write knowledge graphs, but knowledge-graph stores still carry defaults set when humans curated them: accept writes now and clean later, keep one time axis or none, treat every writer's facts as equally trustworthy, and leave governance to dashboards and middleware.

Multi-Modal Generative Fuzzy System: Fuzzy Inference Guided Large Model Interactive Question Answering Framework

arXiv:2608. 14584v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: In Multimodal Question Answering (MQA), models are required to jointly encode and integrate heterogeneous information from multiple modalities, including text, images, and speech, to perform complex semantic reasoning and decision making.

LLM Safety Alignment in Low-Resource Languages: A Systematic Literature Review

arXiv:2608. 14626v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) have achieved substantial progress in safety alignment, yet their safety guarantees remain significantly weaker in low-resource and multilingual settings than in high-resource languages.
