An agent that moves must recognise a place from a viewpoint it has never seen. We introduce 4MT-VLM, a dataset of procedurally generated landscapes, each rendered across five stimulus modes that remove appearance cues while holding layout fixed: shape and colour, shape only,…

Despite the widespread use of Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA), little is known about its dynamics in continual learning and the mechanisms by which low-rank updates affect catastrophic forgetting.

We evaluate Jev on ten dataset-defined application labels in CESNET-QUICEXT-25 using only the first ten packets' sizes, directions, and inter-packet times. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first empirical study of general-purpose decision models, represented here by…

Adapting a language model to a specialized corpus means choosing which instruction-tuning tasks to train on under a fixed budget, and testing one choice costs a fine-tuning run. Common heuristics add more source tasks or pick sources similar to the target.

Amortized simulation-based inference (SBI), which is trained on radiative-transfer simulators, recovers exoplanet atmospheres accurately on synthetic James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) spectra but collapses when it comes to real reduced spectra.

AI reviewers can assign different judgments to manuscripts that report the same science in different wording, potentially rewarding rhetorical optimization over scientific improvement.

Fairness assessment in algorithmic decisions that affect individuals, such as credit scoring, often relies on parity measures calculated at the aggregate group level. Such measures may not reveal which individuals experience unfairness or which explanatory factors contribute to…

Laurito et al. (PNAS 2025) showed that large language models choosing between two descriptions of the same product, paper or film prefer the description written by a language model over the one written by a person, by a wide margin over what human judges do.

Making decisions despite conflicting norms and incomplete or unreliable information is a fundamental challenge for autonomous systems. We introduce a simple doxastic deontic logic for this setting: a classically reducible fragment of Chellas' Minimal Deontic Logic, extended with…

Looped models reason by applying the same block of weights many times, so compressing that block saves memory traffic on every loop. Compressed looped models, however, often collapse, and the collapse is usually blamed on rounding error that accumulates from loop to loop.

Matching problems are ubiquitous in data science as they enable the alignment of structured objects and distributions. While existing solvers are often tailored to specific matching formulations, we unify a broad class of such problems within a common mathematical and…

Delegating complete application development to coding agents requires preserving the intended design rather than simply producing plausible outputs through naive prompting.

LLMs trained with Chain-of-thought excel in reasoning capability, but often come with excessive token cost. We find that the core of reasoning capacity lies in the Thinking model's weight component within the null space of a projection defined by the corresponding Non-thinking…

Many datasets carry an intrinsic directionality: citations point backward in time, cells differentiate along lineages, and traffic follows preferred routes. Spectral embedding methods, including most of their extensions to directed graphs, discard this information: they…

We propose a rubric for assessing expressed clinical reasoning in model responses, drawing on three bodies of work: medical education assessment frameworks (ART, SCT, Key Feature Problems and OSCE); clinical LLM benchmarks (MedR-Bench, HealthBench, TIMER-Bench, DR.

A droplet breaks up in tens of microseconds, and a recording captures perhaps a dozen frames. The states in between cannot be recovered without repeating the experiment, and simulating them is too costly to sweep an operating envelope.

Data reconstruction attacks have empirically been successful in recovering training samples from learned models, raising privacy concerns and motivating defenses with guarantees that remain valid against future threats.

Fix a target accuracy $\varepsilon$, a gradient-noise level $s$, and a horizon $N$. We wish to design algorithms which minimize the probability of observing a suboptimality gap which exceeds the target accuracy, i.e., $\mathcal{E}_N = -\log \sup_{f,P} \mathbb{P}_P(f(x_A) -…

Transforming raw data into queryable knowledge requires both early extraction of reusable information and explicit types, relations, and applicability conditions for particular tasks.

Sinhala Sandhi splitting recovers the constituent words or morphemes hidden inside a phonologically merged surface form. The task is important for Sinhala NLP because Sandhi obscures lexical boundaries, but no prior published work has established a neural benchmark for Sinhala…

Refining a sequence of coarse 3D bounding boxes against a LiDAR point-cloud stream demands tracks that are geometrically accurate (high IoU) and temporally coherent (low roughness), preferably without training data.

Modern probabilistic machine learning models increasingly produce multivariate outputs with complex dependence structure, from multi-step time-series forecasts to sample path predictions.

Large language models (LLMs) can sometimes report perturbations to their internal activations---even when the input provides no evidence that an intervention occurred. How do models detect and localize such internal changes? We study this question using a controlled task that…
