Large Language Models Exhibit Human-Like Bayesian Hypocrisy

Large language models (GPT‑4o and Claude 3.7 Sonnet) were tested on two variations of a Bayesian reasoning task across 5 experiments and 5,000 trials. They performed near human levels on the task, but their reasoning was more rule‑based and rigid. The models also exhibited Bayesian hypocrisy, condemning others who used the same Bayesian reasoning, a human‑like error that highlights a dissociation between self‑performance and other‑judgment.

CRASM-Gate: Deterministic-First Constraint- and Role-Aware Semantic Mapping with Selective Model Assistance Across Heterogeneous Industrial Standards

The paper introduces CRASM, a deterministic, constraint‑ and role‑aware semantic mapping framework for aligning engineering concepts across incompatible industrial standards, and its extension CRASM‑Gate, which optionally employs a large language model through a confidence gate while preserving deterministic validation. The framework decomposes the mapping process into standard‑specific canonicalization, bounded retrieval, deterministic rules, role interpretation, ranking, ambiguity refusal, and target validation. Experiments on 14,400 sample decisions across six standard pairs show CRASM‑Gate achieving a mean F1 of 0.9938 and perfect structural validity, outperforming a model‑only baseline and reducing latency significantly compared to generative‑model‑only approaches.

Speed in the Blind Spot: An Interpretability Analysis of Dynamic Perception in VLMs for Autonomous Driving

Vision‑Language Models (VLMs) used in autonomous driving are evaluated on their ability to understand velocity through three tasks: surrounding‑agent speed, current ego speed, and short‑horizon future ego‑speed. Experiments on nuScenes show that while current ego speed can be accessed internally, verbal outputs are poor and surrounding‑agent speed is weakly encoded; temporal cues and frame order are largely ignored. Specialized driving models (Alpamayo‑1.5) improve latent speed representations but still leave gaps between internal knowledge and verbal readout, indicating that good planning outputs do not guarantee reliable dynamic state recovery.

EviViT: Evidence-Adaptive Vision Transformers for Fine-Grained Perception

EviViT is a lightweight attachment for pretrained vision transformers that learns where to focus detail in high‑resolution images. It uses human visual‑search traces to supervise a question‑conditioned evidence density, guiding regional re‑reading and efficient visual token allocation. The method connects regional features to the global scene via a sparse, coordinate‑aware bridge, improving fine‑grained accuracy across nine host models while using fewer tokens than global‑only processing.
