Hierarchical Compositionality for An Assistive AI Agent

AI agents are increasingly being developed to assist humans in various applications, and Large Language Models and other deep network architectures are considered to be state of the art for such agents. These methods are impressive stochastic predictors, but they are resource-hungry, opaque, and known to make arbitrary decisions in novel situations due to the narrow set of underlying representation and processing choices.

SeFaR: Semantic Feature-aware Robustness Testing of Deep Neural Networks

Deep neural networks are increasingly deployed in safety-critical domains as perception modules, where failures are often caused due to rare and under-represented scenarios. This necessitates the need to evaluate the semantic robustness of perception models; conformance of behavior to high-level requirements over real-world perceptual variability.

Interpreting Language Model Hidden States at Scale

Lens methods interpret large language models (LLMs) by mapping intermediate activations to the output vocabulary, revealing how next-token predictions develop through the network. Trained lenses remain expensive: affine-translator parameters grow quadratically with model width, while exact, full-vocabulary Kullback--Leibler (KL) training dominates memory.

CHORUS: Complementary Experts for High-Coverage Testbench Stimulus Generation

Large language models (LLMs) have advanced code generation, where executable feedback provides a more reliable learning signal than textual imitation alone. Hardware verification is an important application of code generation and accounts for a substantial fraction of modern chip design effort, with high-coverage testbench stimulus generation as a key task.

Perception Before Supervision: Self-Contained Visual Distillation from Counterfactual Blind Spots

Self-improvement for multimodal large language models (MLLMs) is typically driven by reward-based methods that provide only coarse scalar feedback. Distillation offers a richer alternative through dense token-level supervision, but in the visual domain it usually depends on privileged context constructed using external annotations and tools, or stronger models.

DistMoE: Private-data Rehearsal-free Routing in Mixture-of-Experts for Distributed Instruction Tuning

Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) have shown strong multimodal instruction-following ability, but adapting them to diverse visual-language domains typically assumes centralized data access and costly joint training. This is restrictive when data is distributed across private, domain-specific, or permission-limited clients.

Consilience for Verifier-Free Test-Time Scaling

Test-time scaling often uses an external verifier, such as compilers and test cases in coding or trained value functions in robotics applications, to obtain high-quality rollouts. Verifier-free test-time scaling (or VF-TTS) is gaining extensive attention as a mechanism to enhance Large Language Model (LLM) reasoning, primarily because we do not have access to such high-quality verifiers in many real-world applications.

How Do Large Language Models Judge Social Attraction? Evidence from Theory-Grounded Persona Ratings Across Multiple LLMs and Humans

Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly used to perform subjective evaluations traditionally made by humans, yet their validity as social judges remains unclear. This paper examines whether LLMs can assess social attraction from theory-grounded persona profiles constructed from ten psychological and relational constructs and organized into three tiers: socially attractive, socially mixed, and socially unattractive.

Model Discovery Agent: LLM-assisted Bayesian experiment design for data-efficient discovery of mechanistic world models

Predicting the answer to interventional ``what if'' questions --- the outcome of an action never taken --- requires a \emph{mechanistic}, causal model, not a curve fit; and learning such a model requires \emph{experiments}, because passive data leaves its mechanisms unidentified. Experiments are expensive, so the central problem is \emph{data efficiency}.

GeoRoute: Geometry-Aware Hybrid Inference for Traffic Future-Frame Prediction

Long-horizon future-frame prediction is important for autonomous driving, traffic surveillance, and intelligent transportation systems, yet remains challenging due to temporal ghosting, geometry drift, and inconsistent object motion. Recent latent video diffusion models have achieved impressive visual quality, but directly applying them to structured traffic scenes often leads to unstable geometry and degraded temporal coherence over extended horizons.
