Alignment, interpretability, red-teaming, bias and privacy: the research on what these systems do when they misbehave.
arXiv:2608. 03958v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: As autonomous agents powered by foundation models are increasingly integrated into social and economic systems, understanding the principles governing their collective behavior is essential for ensuring safety and cooperation.
arXiv:2604. 14606v2 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Universal speech enhancement (USE) aims to restore speech signals from diverse distortions across multiple sampling rates.
arXiv:2608. 02684v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) are accelerating biological research, yet this same capability poses a critical biosecurity threat: models that assist in protein engineering can equally be prompted to generate predicted toxin-like sequences, potentially lowering the barrier to biological misuse.
arXiv:2608. 03138v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Generating a rigorous paper introduction with large language models (LLMs) remains challenging, since it requires coordinating background, gap identification, method and contribution within a coherent narrative.
arXiv:2608. 03450v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Reasoning in Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) requires both fine-grained visual perception and rigorous logical deduction.
arXiv:2608. 03817v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large vision--language models (LVLMs) demonstrate strong multimodal reasoning capabilities but remain prone to hallucination, where model predictions are not grounded in visual evidence.
arXiv:2604. 04721v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: People often optimize for long-term goals in collaboration: A mentor or companion doesn't just answer questions, but also scaffolds learning, tracks progress, and prioritizes the other person's growth over immediate results.
arXiv:2608. 00794v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Agentic AI evaluation pipelines produce benchmark scores that justify deployment decisions, safety certifications, and regulatory compliance claims.
arXiv:2405. 16440v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: In recent years, Transformers have become the de-facto architecture for long-term time series forecasting (LTSF), yet they face challenges associated with the self-attention mechanism, including quadratic complexity and permutation-invariant bias.
arXiv:2512. 12840v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Vertical Federated Learning (VFL) enables collaborative model training across organizations that share common user samples but hold disjoint feature spaces.
arXiv:2608. 00747v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large language models are increasingly integrated into autonomous robotic systems for task planning and control, but this integration exposes them to prompt injection attacks that can lead to unsafe decisions and physical harm.
arXiv:2608. 02911v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Revenue forecasts guide acquisition budgets, demand planning, and customer-based valuations, yet an aggregate forecast does not show whether change reflects acquisition, repeat purchasing, spending per order, or offsetting movements.
arXiv:2608. 03562v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Reinforcement learning (RL) with general utility extends classic RL by optimizing an arbitrary utility functional of the policy-induced occupancy measure, thereby enabling a broader range of applications.
arXiv:2608. 03673v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Many critical reasoning tasks, including clinical diagnosis, legal judgment, and industrial fault diagnosis, require step-dependent causal chains in which early errors propagate and correct conclusions can mask invalid reasoning.
arXiv:2608. 03913v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Dense pretrained transformers do not naturally expose interpretable units for circuit extraction.
arXiv:2608. 03929v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Aligning diffusion models with human preferences usually relies on a sparse terminal reward evaluated on the final generated samples, presenting a severe temporal credit-assignment challenge across the multi-step denoising process.
arXiv:2608. 03130v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Long-term memory enables persistent personalization in LLM agents, but repeated memory-conditioned responses can cumulatively reveal protected attributes even when they are never stated explicitly.
arXiv:2608. 03382v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multi-armed bandit algorithms, especially Thompson sampling, are widely used in online recommendation.
arXiv:2608. 03627v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly used for automated fact-checking, yet their susceptibility to gender bias in this context remains underexplored.
arXiv:2608. 02664v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Deploying ML models in regulated decision-making (credit underwriting, fraud detection, loan approval) requires demonstrating fairness and robustness to auditors without exposing model weights or customer data.
