Alignment, interpretability, red-teaming, bias and privacy: the research on what these systems do when they misbehave.
arXiv:2608. 10492v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large Language Model (LLM)-based simulators often reproduce observable actions but fail to capture the underlying reasoning behind them.
arXiv:2608. 10499v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Personalized Federated Reinforcement Learning (PFRL) takes a decentralized approach to storing and accessing information based on past experiences while keeping each client's data private during the learning of each client's policy.
arXiv:2508. 07617v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: AI has the potential to augment human decision making.
arXiv:2608. 09992v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Controllable generation guided by external knowledge is a key requirement in modern generative deep learning applications, enabling the synthesis of samples with explicit constraints on semantic content, structural properties, and variability.

arXiv:2608. 10153v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Enterprises are deploying autonomous AI agents faster than they can govern them, and prevailing approaches stretch a single discipline, typically DevSecOps built for deterministic automation, across every scale of agency.
arXiv:2608. 10327v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Can AI systems be aligned to human values?
arXiv:2608. 10403v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Reinforcement learning (RL) has shown promising performance in autonomous driving, yet ensuring the safety of online RL policies remains challenging due to insufficient exposure to safety-critical driving scenes.
arXiv:2608. 10954v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: While Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) demonstrate impressive performance in benign scenarios, their cognitive reliability deteriorates significantly in complex scenes under adverse conditions.
arXiv:2608. 10393v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models have shown strong capabilities in controlling robots across diverse manipulation tasks.
arXiv:2607. 15606v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Synthetic sequential tabular data are increasingly used for privacy-preserving data sharing and data-driven research, but evaluating their fidelity remains difficult because temporal structure is easily lost under conventional tabular metrics.
arXiv:2608. 10836v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The signal ambiguity of whispered speech drives ASR systems toward two opposing failure modes: failing to capture whispered speech or hallucinatory transcription of noise.
In this paper, we propose a local Sinkhorn divergence framework for conditional distribution reconstruction of multidimensional random fields. By utilizing the debiased Sinkhorn divergence, our proposed approach develops a differentiable and computationally efficient local distribution matching objective to train stochastic neural networks (SNNs).
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. We present a family-conditioned, multi-tier audio tagger that combines a LoRA-finetuned Whisper encoder with a lightweight, target-speaker-aware Transformer for long-context inference and framewise prediction across tiers.
Personalizing marketing messages with contextual multi-armed bandits (CMABs) drives real business value, yet the objective that ultimately matters - a downstream conversion - is observed only weeks later, too late to drive online learning. Teams therefore train the bandit on a fast proxy reward, and separately must judge whether a contextual bandit is worth its complexity over sending one best message.
Artistic image synthesis aims to recreate the expressive visual identity of a target artist, yet existing methods often fail to capture an artist's global style. Conventional style transfer methods transfer the style of one or a few reference artworks to a content image in a One-to-One manner, making them effective for artwork-level stylization but limited in representing the broader stylistic distribution of an artist.
In recent research on the Digital Twin-based Vehicular Ad hoc Network(DT-VANET), Federated Learning (FL) has shown its ability to provide data privacy. However, Federated learning struggles to adequately train a global model when confronted with data heterogeneity and data sparsity among vehicles, which ensure suboptimal accuracy in making precise predictions for different vehicle types.
Group alignment adapts a language model to a demographic group to produce responses that reflect the group's opinions, values, and preferences. Sycophancy, a well-documented by-product of alignment, causes the model to over-agree with the user regardless of factual and objective information.
Hamilton-Jacobi (HJ) reachability provides a mathematically rigorous framework for safe control of dynamical systems, but its practical application is bottlenecked by the computational complexity of solving Hamilton-Jacobi-Isaacs variational inequality PDEs in high dimensions. Physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) have recently emerged as a promising alternative to classical mesh-based solvers, yet their performance is highly sensitive to the choice of collocation sampling.
