APEX-Accounting

We introduce APEX-Accounting, a benchmark built by Mercor in partnership with Ramp, to assess whether frontier models can do the real work of accountants. Tasks include reconciling accounts, accruing expenses, posting transactions, and producing reports.

Data Quality Profiling at Scale with Progressive Sampling: A Benchmark for Data-Centric AI Pipelines

arXiv:2607. 25356v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Data quality profiling -- computing missing-value rates, duplicate fractions, outlier densities, and functional-dependency violations -- is foundational for data-centric AI pipelines, yet exhaustive scans over millions of rows are prohibitively slow for near-real-time monitoring.

Kernel Forge: An Agent Harness for LLM-based Generation and Optimization of CUDA Kernels

arXiv:2607. 24762v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Machine learning models are increasingly embedded in everyday software, and most of their runtime is spent in a small set of compute kernels such as matrix multiplication, convolution, and normalization.

How Small Can You Go? A Controlled Study of LoRA Rank, Target Modules, and Quantization Trade-offs for Text-to-SQL on a 60M-Parameter Model

arXiv:2607. 25583v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Parameter-efficient fine-tuning (PEFT) and low-bit quantization are now standard tools for adapting language models under tight compute budgets, yet their interaction is most often studied on billion-parameter models where the design space is expensive to explore.

How Small Can You Go? A Controlled Study of LoRA Rank, Target Modules, and Quantization Trade-offs for Text-to-SQL on a 60M-Parameter Model

Parameter-efficient fine-tuning (PEFT) and low-bit quantization are now standard tools for adapting language models under tight compute budgets, yet their interaction is most often studied on billion-parameter models where the design space is expensive to explore. We ask a complementary question: on a specific, fully reproducible 60M-parameter encoder-decoder model (T5-small) and a single-table text-to-SQL benchmark (WikiSQL), how much task accuracy does each efficiency knob actually cost?

Schema-Aware Localisation (SAL): Live Schema Grounding and Hallucination Validation for Oracle NL2SQL

arXiv:2607. 22572v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models can generate fluent SQL from natural language, but on real enterprise Oracle databases they frequently fail at execution time: columns and aliases are hallucinated and dialect-specific syntax is missed, leading to ORA-00904 invalid-identifier errors.

Myopia Prevention and Control 3.0: Artificial Intelligence--Driven Risk Stratification, Proactive Monitoring, and Personalized Intervention

arXiv:2607. 24187v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The convergence of artificial intelligence (AI), digital sensing, and ubiquitous computing has created an unprecedented opportunity to transform myopia prevention from a reactive, population-based model into a proactive, precision-driven one.

Predictive Query Language: A Domain-Specific Language for Predictive Modeling on Relational Databases

arXiv:2602. 09572v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: The purpose of predictive modeling on relational data is to predict future or missing values in a relational database, for example, future purchases of a user, risk of readmission of the patient, or the likelihood that a financial transaction is fraudulent.
