Alignment, interpretability, red-teaming, bias and privacy: the research on what these systems do when they misbehave.
arXiv:2608. 07068v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Long-horizon agents accumulate growing contexts during interaction, impairing performance and stability.
arXiv:2604. 16009v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Most large language model benchmarks evaluate final-answer quality but reveal little about how models revise beliefs under disagreement or conflicting evidence.
arXiv:2608. 06429v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Interpretability methods for large language models (LLMs) describe internal state but do not directly test whether that state is causally sufficient to produce the observed behavior.
arXiv:2608. 07303v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Comparisons between AutoML systems at short time budgets -- tens of seconds rather than hours -- are common in tool READMEs and workshop papers, and they are easy to get wrong.
arXiv:2608. 07281v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: This paper investigates the asymptotic behavior of the out-of-sample prediction risk of the high-dimensional ridgeless least-squares estimator when the feature dimension $p$ and the sample size $n$ grow proportionally.
arXiv:2608. 06445v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Capturing the strategic decision-making inherent in competitive human driving is critical for autonomous vehicle safety and traffic simulation.
arXiv:2608. 06631v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Cryptanalytic extraction has been demonstrated for ReLU networks, for networks using componentwise activations such as GELU or SiLU, and for a Transformer's final projection matrix.
arXiv:2608. 06752v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This paper proposes DKG-MTI, a dual knowledge graph framework for unified multi-task user intent inference from online travel reviews.
arXiv:2608. 06510v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Agentic AI promises a more flexible form of digital agency: systems that can act on users' behalf, from filtering content to negotiating prices to selecting services.
Cross-modal place recognition (CMPR) aims to identify the same location across heterogeneous sensing modalities, such as vision and LiDAR. Existing methods commonly bridge the modality gap using complex alignment modules, multi-stage training, or full fine-tuning of pretrained backbones.
Despite rapid advances in generative models, achieving pixel-level precision in sketch-based image editing remains a persistent challenge, particularly for fine-grained local deformations. This gap stems primarily from the critical shortage of high-quality, publicly available benchmark datasets that jointly provide geometric constraints and semantic instructions.
Cardiologists interpret electrocardiograms by localizing waveform components, measuring rhythm and interval patterns, and translating these structured observations into diagnostic evidence. Whether this expert reading process can serve as an effective prior for ECG agents remains unclear.
Mobile app reviews are a rich, continuously renewing source of how users experience privacy and security, yet existing taxonomies of these concerns are hand-crafted and cannot keep pace with the evolving nature of the data. Automating taxonomy construction is the natural response, but scalability is the core challenge: current LLM- and clustering-based methods are developed for scientific corpora of a few thousand documents and do not extend to app review collections numbering in the hundreds of thousands.
This work presents a unified multimodal AI system for damage assessment that integrates retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) models, thermal spectrum perception, vision foundation model pipelines, and exploratory wireless signal sensing. A RAG component is developed to ground a locally hosted language model in project-specific documentation, including specialized damage level classification criteria to mitigate hallucinations during inference.
Large language model agents increasingly rely on reusable skills to extend their capabilities beyond parametric knowl- edge. However, retrieving the appropriate skill from a large- scale library remains challenging because realistic user re- quests are often concise and underspecified, stating only the task goal while leaving the required capabilities and execu- tion steps implicit.
Video super-resolution (VSR) aims to recover high-fidelity high-resolution videos from low-resolution inputs and is central to applications ranging from mobile capture to streaming and archival restoration. Existing approaches trade off among local-detail fidelity, long-range spatio-temporal modeling, perceptual realism, and efficiency: convolutional alignment techniques preserve local structure but suffer when motion is large or degradations are complex; transformer-based methods capture long-range dependencies yet require architectural or algorithmic adaptations to remain computationally feasible; and recent latent or diffusion-based generators synthesize rich texture but require specialized temporal constraints to maintain coherence.
Under the current standard, Agent Skills are SKILL. md files that combine instructions with supporting resources, enabling Large Language Model (LLM) agents to reuse procedures beyond a single conversation.
Reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR) has emerged as an effective approach for improving multimodal reasoning. However, most existing methods evaluate an entire response using a binary reward based only on final-answer correctness, thereby discarding the supervision available in intermediate reasoning steps.
Selective-risk certificates promise that accepted outputs meet a declared error target. We develop Fed-SRC, a score-agnostic certificate for federated, differentially private, adaptively monitored retrieval-augmented generation.
Quaternion-valued neural networks and variational quantum circuits (VQCs) both derive local transformations from $\mathrm{SU}(2)$ geometry, yet their performance on classical supervised learning remains poorly understood. We compare real-valued, quaternion-valued, and quantum classification heads on identical frozen features across MNIST, FashionMNIST, and CIFAR-10.
