Knowledge Index of Noah's Ark

arXiv:2606. 05104v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Knowledge benchmarks for LLMs face three issues: scaling-driven designs that do not operationalize disciplinary representativeness; flat-payment annotation that permits lazy consensus; and unaudited ranking instability under bounded test budgets.

Transformer-Based Autonomous Driving Models and Deployment-Oriented Compression: A Survey

arXiv:2304. 10891v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Transformer-based models are becoming a central paradigm in autonomous driving because they can capture long-range spatial dependencies, multi-agent interactions, and multimodal context across perception, prediction, and planning.

Unlocking Proactivity in Task-Oriented Dialogue

arXiv:2605. 22240v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Proactive task-oriented dialogue (TOD), such as outbound sales, demands a persuasive agent that actively probes the user's concerns and steers the conversation toward acceptance within a bounded number of turns.

SciDER: Scientific Data-centric End-to-end Researcher

arXiv:2603. 01421v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: While large language models accelerate scientific discovery, existing agents face severe limitations in adaptability, domain generalization, and multimodal scalability, often struggling to autonomously process raw, domain-specific experimental data.

Structured Prompt Optimization Meets Reinforcement Learning for Global and Local Interpretability over Complex Text

arXiv:2605. 29076v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: LLMs have advanced text classification, yet existing paradigms face a trade-off: supervised (label only) fine-tuning is scalable but offers limited reasoning on complex text and lacks broader model transparency, while discrete prompt optimization offers human-readable instructions but struggles with performance and scalability.

A Unified Geometric Space for Topological Alignment Between Transformer-Based Models and Human Brain Networks

arXiv:2510. 24342v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Prior brain-AI alignment studies are typically constrained by specific inputs and tasks, limiting their ability to capture organizational properties across models with different modalities.

Transmuting prompts into weights

arXiv:2510. 08734v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: A growing body of research has demonstrated that the behavior of large language models can be effectively controlled at inference time by directly modifying their internal states, either through vector additions to their activations or through updates to their weight matrices.
