RLMOpt: Adaptive Prompt Optimization via Recursive Language Models

arXiv:2608. 10471v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Prompt optimizers automate the search for prompts that improve language-model performance, but existing methods rely on a predefined optimization procedure: the algorithm determines which candidates to explore and how the search progresses, while the language model generates or refines prompt proposals.

From Faulty Memories to Corrected Actions: Dependency-Guided Rollback Repair for Memory-Augmented Agents

arXiv:2608. 10502v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Persistent memory lets language-model agents reuse information across sessions, but it also makes errors durable: a poisoned, stale, or misattributed record can alter reasoning, tool use, answers, and subsequent memory writes.

EvoMem: Memory-Augmented Evolution for Code Optimization

arXiv:2608. 10795v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Successful mutation strategies in evolutionary code search may contain reusable knowledge that is useful beyond a single run, and in some cases may transfer across related tasks and domains.

ComBodied Agents: a New Paradigm of Human-Centric Agentic AI

arXiv:2608. 10915v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: After an older adult misses a medication dose, a software agent can send another reminder and an embodied agent can bring the medication.

Uncertainty-Aware Ensemble Deep Randomized Neural Networks for Classification

arXiv:2608. 10007v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The current state-of-the-art (SOTA) deep randomized neural networks, such as deep Random Vector Functional Link (dRVFL) and ensemble deep RVFL (edRVFL), treat all training samples uniformly, which limits their robustness and effectiveness when applied to real-world datasets containing noise and outliers.

Locally Deployable Small Language Models for Emergency Department Decision Support: A Systematic Benchmark of Fine-Tuning Strategies

arXiv:2608. 10273v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Deploying large language models (LLMs) for decision support in emergency departments (EDs) faces two major challenges: privacy risks of transmitting patient data to closed-source commercial LLMs and the lack of systematic evaluation of fine-tuning strategies for locally deployable open-source small language models (SLMs).

Towards Unified Dynamic Face Landmark Detection

arXiv:2608. 10346v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Although advancements in face landmark detection (FLD) methods continue to push performance boundaries, they overlook two major functional limitations: (1) different network parameters need to be trained independently for each ``$N$-point'' benchmark dataset, and (2) a model trained on an ``$N$-point'' dataset reliably outputs only the $N$ landmarks.
