Alignment, interpretability, red-teaming, bias and privacy: the research on what these systems do when they misbehave.
arXiv:2608. 11658v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Many reinforcement learning systems, from fleet management to traffic signal control, must serve an objective that changes dynamically after deployment, and retraining a policy for each new objective is prohibitively expensive.
arXiv:2608. 11604v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language model-based shopping agents are increasingly deployed in real-world e-commerce platforms, generating massive amounts of user interaction logs that provide valuable supervision for improving these agents.
arXiv:2608. 11255v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Accurate prediction of vapor--liquid equilibrium (VLE) for hydrocarbon-nitrogen mixtures remains challenging for cubic equations of state, particularly across broad ranges of composition and hydrocarbon chain length.
arXiv:2506. 17332v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: By 2050, people aged 65 and over are projected to make up 16% of the global population.
arXiv:2608. 11587v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Recent advances in model design and self-supervised audio representations have improved speech and audio understanding, yet infant-centered naturalistic recordings remain challenging due to limited labeled data, low signal-to-noise ratio, and cross-family domain shifts.
arXiv:2608. 11241v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Deploying LLM agents into industrial recommender operations exposes a three-way tension we frame as the autonomy-determinism-efficiency trilemma: general autonomy (interpreting operator intent, generating glue code zero-shot), industrial determinism (schema-conforming feature extraction, non-crashing A/B, zero compliance-path hallucination), and end-to-end efficiency.
arXiv:2509. 13450v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We introduce SteeringSafety, a benchmark for evaluating representation steering methods across nine safety perspectives spanning 18 datasets.
arXiv:2608. 12037v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Modern stochastic predictors can model rich, multi-modal outcome distributions.
arXiv:2608. 11624v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Persuasion is a core dynamic of natural language communication, shaping how large language models (LLMs) update beliefs, resolve disagreements, and reach decisions.
arXiv:2608. 11590v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Human voice generation has made rapid progress in speech generation, singing voice generation, voice cloning, and voice editing.
arXiv:2608. 11354v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Modern recommender systems treat observed actions as reliable proxies for user preferences, yet interactions often reflect exploration or comparison rather than stable preference expression.
Tool-using agents consume external data from sources with different levels of trust, yet tool responses rarely identify who produced each component or what it should convey. We show that this gap enables state-corruption attacks, in which attacker-controlled content makes environmental claims beyond the informational authority of its response component and corrupts the agent's perceived environment, making the resulting action appear justified to existing guardrails.
Understanding the temporal progression of symptoms in clinical narratives is critical for disease monitoring, safety surveillance, and causality assessment. Clinical narratives, however, rarely provide explicit temporal anchors.
Object hallucination in multimodal large language models arises when language priors and corpus co-occurrence bias outweigh the visual evidence, with nothing tying an individual object mention to what the image shows. Most remedies intervene at decoding time without training, yet under a unified protocol their benefit is confined to short captions;supervised fine-tuning (SFT) on a detail- rich corpus lengthens captions, but over forty percent still name absent objects.
In-vehicle music can serve as an adaptive interface to enhance driver experience, attention, and well-being. We present Drive-to-Music, a context-aware system that generates music in real time from multimodal driving signals.
Assessing proxemic danger from a robot's egocentric perspective is critical for safe embodied navigation in human environments and requires both visual and contextual reasoning. We evaluate three opensource vision-language models (VLMs) (\textit{InternVL}, \textit{Qwen-VL}, and \textit{SmolVLM}) on the classification of egocentric robot images into four danger levels, comparing three prompting strategies and two rounds of QLoRA fine-tuning against a stratified random baseline.
Dynamic Master Logic (DML) provides a hierarchical framework for representing system behavior by linking functional objectives to underlying structural elements. However, DML construction typically relies on expert interpretation of technical documentation, limiting scalability for complex systems.
Boosted decision trees (BDTs) are widely used in latency-critical applications, but efficient hardware deployment remains challenging. Existing designs often rely on uniform or manually tuned fixed-point formats, which can introduce unnecessary hardware cost or accuracy loss.
Small Language Models (SLMs) have emerged as a more efficient alternative to traditional Large Language Models (LLMs), offering promising potential in resource-constrained scenarios. Existing approaches to building SLMs typically follow two paths: training compact models from scratch, or compressing larger pre-trained models using methods such as pruning, quantization, or distillation.
Turning a research idea into a complete paper requires more than text generation: the system must retrieve literature, design and execute experiments, revise claims according to evidence, produce publication-ready figures, and maintain consistency across a long generation process. We present Spark-to-Paper, an end-to-end research paper generation system implemented as thirteen composable skills inside an existing coding assistant, without requiring a separate agent platform or orchestration service.
