LLM agents increasingly keep working after a task succeeds as they resume after compaction or take over handoffs. Their finished work keeps receiving follow-up input that sometimes falsely accuses it for later failures.

Reinforcement mid-training lets language models learn internal thoughts from unlabeled text, but efficient token-level credit assignment remains challenging. Existing group-relative methods require costly repeated generation.

Audiology consultation requires structured history-taking, audiometric interpretation and patient-centred communication, yet real-world case material is scarce. We present a bilingual AI audiologist pairing a general-purpose large language model with rubric-guided playbook…

Transformers and state-space models (SSMs) are two prominent sequential learning architectures, yet their comparison remains largely empirical and existing theoretical analyses are typically task-specific or architecturally restricted.

Language models are increasingly evaluated as vulnerability detectors, and scores reported for similar models differ widely between papers. We measured how much of that difference evaluation protocol accounts for, with model outputs held fixed.

It has recently been found that deep learning often occurs at the "edge of stability (EoS)," where the maximum Hessian eigenvalue of the model is stabilized at a value reciprocal to the learning rate.

Who we communicate with influences both our interpretation of their utterances and the design of our own. Such adjustment to the conversational partner is studied as speaker modeling in comprehension and as audience design in production, with the two literatures having developed…

Pre-training data poisoning of large language models is usually studied using targeted backdoors and their survival through safety post-training, which leaves open a more basic question: how does a model's clean data performance degrade as the poison rate $\varepsilon$ grows?…

Motivated by blind denoising in diffusion models, we study estimation of an unknown Gaussian noise level from a single high-dimensional observation, assuming the signal law P is known. We characterize the minimax mean-squared error under two structural assumptions on P.

Linear bandits model sequential decision-making problems with noisy rewards that are linear in the decision variable, where an agent must simultaneously learn about an unknown parameter that governs the mean rewards, while maximizing (expected) rewards over time.

Bayesian state estimation for high-dimensional nonlinear dynamical systems entails a fundamental tension between statistical fidelity and computational tractability, as particle weights can collapse, while Gaussian ensemble updates can miss non-Gaussian posterior structure.

Foundation-model agents are often modeled as policies over an observed state. In deployed systems, however, a runtime may intervene only after the model has emitted a semantic proposal, making the proposal both an action candidate and a decision-time observation generated by a…

Generative AI is reshaping the cultural infrastructures through which knowledge is found, synthesized, and held accountable. To make sense of this shift, scholars and policymakers reach for historical analogies of technologies such as the printing press, steam power or…

Evaluating claim admission in shared agent memory is challenging because repeated claims may be mistaken for independent evidence. An agent may copy or paraphrase a retrieved belief, while admitting a false claim exposes subsequent agents to it.

Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly integrated into educational settings, yet educators lack robust, standards-aligned tools to evaluate their effectiveness in K-12 science contexts.

Speech content representations are central to voice conversion, speech-to-speech translation, and multimodal language models, yet they are rarely compared under a common generative framework that directly measures what each representation contains.

The flatness of the loss landscape at a minimizer is a widely used heuristic for reasoning about neural-network generalization, yet evidence for this relation is mostly empirical and controversial.

Neural representational dissimilarity quantifies differences between neural response distributions, and is essential for comparing neural codes across stimuli, brain areas, tasks, and models.

As Large Language Models (LLMs) become integrated into software development workflows, concerns regarding unintentional biases in AI-generated code. Although evidence suggests these biases exist, limited research has systematically identified, categorized, and explained them.

Cloud-based Large language model (LLM) services create a network-level traffic side channel that can expose model, prompt, and task behavior despite encryption. From packet sizes, directions, timing, and burst structure alone, a passive local observer can infer the serving…

Pooled statistics of Transformer weights obscure how magnitude is distributed across functional channels, while individual weights are too numerous to compare directly. We study the mesoscopic level between them: row and column scale fields, the median-centred log-RMS profiles…

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) provides a common interface through which AI applications discover and use external resources and tools. It allows language-model agents to ground their reasoning in current system state and interact with heterogeneous services.

Developing label-efficient models is a central challenge in surgical AI due to the high cost and scarcity of expert annotation. While self-supervised foundation models adapt well to new tasks with minimal data, how label efficiency varies across different surgical tasks remains…
