Reasoning Jury: Multi-Model Consensus for Evaluating Reasoning Traces

arXiv:2608. 12585v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Improving reasoning LLMs requires the ability to judge the quality of long reasoning traces for effective reasoning data curation, strong training signals during reinforcement learning, and an in-depth understanding of reasoning behaviors during model performance evaluation.

SCULPT: Subtractive Composition for 3D Part Generation

Part-aware 3D generation aims to create digital assets that are coherent as complete objects while exposing structural parts for editing, material assignment, animation, and reuse. Existing methods impose this structure outside the native generation loop: segmentation-based methods partition an already generated shape, while additive methods synthesize parts from predefined layouts, boxes, or tokens and then reconcile them into a whole.

Bagging Robustly Learns VC Classes with Linear Sample Complexity

We revisit the problem of learning predictors robust to adversarial examples at test-time. We prove that VC classes are adversarially robustly learnable with sample complexity linear in the VC dimension $d$, providing an exponential improvement over the previous upper bound of Montasser, Hanneke, and Srebro (2019).

Simulation-to-real transfer learning for infrared spectroscopic chemical sensing and analysis from molecules to complex samples

Infrared (IR) spectroscopy is widely used for chemical sensing, but extracting reliable chemical information from spectra remains challenging. Conventional interpretation is labor-intensive, relies on prior knowledge and reference spectra, and is difficult to scale, whereas most machine-learning methods are tailored to individual tasks or datasets, require large labeled training sets, and transfer poorly across analytical objectives and experimental datasets.

It's How You Ask: Gender-Associated Linguistic Bias in LLMs

Professional communication is increasingly mediated by LLMs - but do these models serve all users equally? We show that when prompts contain linguistic features more commonly used by women (hedges, tag questions, collective reference), they systematically elicit shorter, less sophisticated, and less formal responses across three document types and four models.
