Retrieval pipelines, vector search, chunking and reranking: how models are grounded in a corpus instead of their weights.
arXiv:2511. 19264v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Generative Flow Networks (GFlowNets) construct molecules through sequential decisions, but their internal policies remain opaque, limiting adoption in drug discovery, where chemists need interpretable rationales for proposed structures.
arXiv:2608. 04678v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Papers 1-2 of the Kathleen series showed that a byte-level, attention-free architecture built from a wavetable encoder and multi-scale reverberant state can match strong baselines on classification at ~450-700K parameters, without pretraining.

Current instruction-based image retrieval systems are powerful but limited to single-turn interactions, failing to capture the iterative nature of complex, real-world visual searches. To overcome this limitation, we introduce Contextual Composed Image Retrieval (CoCo-IR), a novel task that enables users to progressively refine search results through interactions.
Kinetic model discovery is a central challenge in chemical engineering, as accurate rate expressions are essential for understanding and controlling chemical and biological processes. Symbolic regression (SR) has emerged as a powerful data-driven approach for identifying interpretable kinetic models, but usually operates without domain knowledge, often exploring physicochemically implausible models.
Recent advances in machine learning have enabled training of wireless foundation models, which aim to support tasks such as channel estimation, beam prediction, and localization based on wireless signals. Existing wireless foundation models typically pretrain on channel tensors using masked reconstruction over subcarriers, antennas, or time but ignore the physical characteristics of wireless propagation.
Football score forecasting combines a strong statistical core with a difficult contextual edge. Dynamic Poisson-family models estimate team strength, expected goals, and coherent score probabilities, but do not directly understand roles, tactical matchups, motivation, or how a first goal changes behaviour.
The daily allocation of the finite 24-hour time budget is strongly associated with physical, mental, and cognitive health. While predictive models can estimate the relationship between time-use compositions and health outcomes such as body mass index, life satisfaction, and cognition, most optimization approaches focus only on maximizing expected benefit and do not consider the uncertainty inherent in data-driven prediction.
Automated cooking robots have traditionally relied on predefined procedures and rule-based control, ensuring stable execution but offering limited personalization, whereas recent large-model approaches support natural language interaction but often suffer from opaque decision making and unreliable execution in real kitchens. To address this challenge, this paper proposes an agentic framework that systematically decomposes personalized cooking requirements into structured and verifiable control programs rather than directly mapping language to actions.
Self-improving agents accumulate reusable insights from prior trajectories, making retrieval increasingly important for turning accumulated experience into actionable guidance. At each decision step, retrieving the right insight can help the agent progress toward its goal, a setting we refer to as agentic insight retrieval.
LLM agents that persist across sessions accumulate stored memories whose validity varies enormously by content type, yet existing memory architectures treat all memories as equally persistent and systematically contaminate retrieved context with outdated facts. We show that per-memory, type-conditioned temporal decay, a property of western scrub jay episodic memory, can be operationalized as an auto-classified coefficient $π_i$ in an external LLM-agent memory store, yielding ScrubJay-MEM: each memory is encoded as a jointly-bound What--Where--When tuple with an estimated perishability $π_i$ and utility horizon $τ_i$, retrieved by query-adaptive scoring, and revised retroactively at $O(1)$ LLM calls per update.
Enterprise Document Intelligence [Vol. 1 #5octies] - Rules propose, LLM validates: six deterministic signals on span-level typography surface heading candidates, one bounded loop keeps the real ones, and the same toc_df drops back into the RAG pipeline The post Building Document Structure with Loop Engineering: Recovering a PDF’s Outline from Body Typography for RAG appeared first on Towards Data Science .
As "AI Scientists" emerge to drive research via the Model Context Protocol (MCP), systems relying on ephemeral scripts will fail. The sheer scale of stateful, interconnected evidence requires a machine-walkable warranty grounded in a purpose-built database architecture.
arXiv:2608. 03722v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Collective intelligence research treats disagreement as evidence of epistemic diversity: if agents express different views, the group should retain capacity to revise.
