World models -- internal simulators that learn the structure and dynamics of an environment -- have become one of the most actively debated concepts in AI. From model-based reinforcement learning and video generation to embodied robotics and ultimately, physical AI, researchers…

This paper offers a framework for considering curiosity as an ecosystem. First, it suggests that a single agent's inquiry policy (how, when, and why an agent asks a question) depends on how the agent values immediate uncertainty reduction, costs, delayed return, and the value of…

A persistent empirical observation is that trained neural networks outperform their neural tangent kernel (NTK) limit on tasks with compositional structure, yet a quantitative account of $\textbf{when}$ and $\textbf{by how much}$ has been lacking.

Reinforcement learning agents for imperfect-information card games are only as strong as the opponents they train against, and they are hard to grade, since they beat a random opponent over 99 percent of the time and only tie copies of themselves.

Open physiological corpora are heterogeneous: they use different sensors, labels, sampling rates, recording settings, and clinical endpoints. They can support detector design, but they do not directly specify which detector rules should be built for a new contactless monitoring…

Physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) provide a promising framework for solving partial differential equations while embedding the underlying physical laws directly into the learning process.

Conformal prediction is being adopted in drug discovery to put an honest number on model reliability: pick an error rate alpha, and the method returns prediction sets containing the true label with probability at least 1 - alpha.

Autonomous driving systems require reliable safety validation before real-world deployment. However, large-scale road testing is costly, difffcult to reproduce, and inefffcient for exposing rare safety-critical scenarios.

Passive hydroacoustic monitoring often generates large volumes of continuous recordings that are only partially exploited due to the cost of manual annotation. Supervised detection methods perform well but require large labeled datasets, seldom available for rare signals or…

Variational Autoencoders (VAEs) frequently suffer from posterior collapse, a failure mode in which the approximate posterior converges to the prior, rendering the latent code uninformative.
6 Jul 2026
Activation steering via sparse autoencoders (SAEs) enables behavioral control of large language models without task-specific fine-tuning, but standard methods apply the steering signal at every generated token, incurring constant per-token perturbation that risks degrading…

For LLM agents, supervised fine-tuning is not only about teacher labels' quality, but also about which interaction contexts those labels condition on. Pure behavioral cloning uses full teacher demonstrations, creating a mismatch between teacher-induced contexts seen in training…

Expert surveys are widely used in security research to study practitioner workows and decision-making, yet recruiting domain experts - especially in Security Operations Centres (SOCs), where analysts face high workload, burnout and confidentiality constraints - is difficult and…

Grain growth is governed by the reduction in grain boundary energy and exhibits well-established statistical scaling laws. Developing data-driven surrogates that preserve these physical invariants while remaining computationally scalable remains challenging, especially in 3D.

Fog severely degrades the visibility of small unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in skydominant, long-range imagery, reducing the reliability of downstream detection and tracking.

Defining the reasoning boundaries and ensuring the reliability of Large Reasoning Models (LRMs) remains a critical challenge. Current benchmarks primarily rely on static datasets susceptible to data contamination or synthetic tasks lacking fine-grained difficulty control.

This work establishes that trigger-word data poisoning of vision language action models is practical, while at the same time the open-source robotics ecosystem holds trust assumptions about community contributions.

Market manipulation is the dubious practice of manipulating stock prices in order to make a quick profit, which truly degrades confidence on trading platforms. We implemented an unsupervised fraud-detection toolkit that begins with K-Means++ clustering to address this issue.

Integral codes like the Accident Source Term Evaluation Code (ASTEC) are powerful tools to study the physics of Severe Accidents (SAs) in nuclear reactors. Real time SA simulators can also be helpful in training operators of nuclear plants to react correctly to malfunctions.

Natural language requirements (NLRs) are essential for bridging communication gaps among diverse stakeholders in software development. However, the inherent ambiguity in NLRs can pose significant challenges.
5 Jul 2026
In-context learning (ICL) has emerged as a central capability of pretrained language models, yet its theoretical analysis has focused primarily on causal language models trained by left-to-right autoregressive prediction, such as GPT-style models.

We release a benchmark and failure-mode-aware evaluation framework for grounded QA under coordinated retrieval poisoning. The framework partitions reader outputs into four mutually exclusive categories (\emph{gold}, \emph{hijack}, \emph{abstention}, \emph{drift}), with…

Relational databases (RDBs) are the primary data infrastructure in many enterprises, yet recent deep learning methods designed for RDBs have been evaluated under inconsistent experimental protocols, making fair comparison difficult.

Minimum maximum mean discrepancy (MMD) estimation has emerged as a robust and likelihood-free alternative to maximum likelihood estimation for parameter estimation. Yet, despite its practical success, the associated optimization problem remains poorly understood, with…
