Coding agents (e.g., Cursor) improve developer productivity by optimizing task completion, but shifting users from writing code to prompting and reviewing may harm their understanding, impeding oversight, learning, and communication.

What types of decision problems can a causally masked, finite-precision transformer solve for inputs of arbitrary length? Existing answers often rely on idealized arithmetic, but under finite precision, rounding and evaluation order can change what information attention retains…

Large language models have improved rapidly on tasks with verifiable answers, such as mathematics and programming. Much less is known about their ability to reason about what we call conceptual questions: questions for which no ground truth is realistically accessible and no…

Open source communities have been flooded with AI-generated contributions. In defense, they have written contribution rules to regulate coding agents' behavior, spanning from a total ban, mandatory disclosure, to verification gates and human sign-offs.

Conversational AI agents commonly lack persistent memory across sessions. The obvious fixes like injecting full chat histories into the context window, or delegating to a third-party memory service, either exhaust the model's context budget or send personal data through…

We present a lightweight approach to foundation modeling (\textbf{NEXUS}) that leverages pre-trained learning from collider physics data towards out-of-domain tasks in other scientific datasets, using a fully connected autoencoder model with approximately 3 million parameters.

We propose an index for predicting the U.S.\ Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) decision to hike/hold/cut the current federal funds target rate based on how a collection of personas responds to current market conditions.

PID tuning for chemical processes commonly relies on identified process models, whereas plant engineers often retune loops iteratively by observing responses, diagnosing deficiencies, adjusting gains, and validating the result.

Hateful memes are a growing form of multimodal online harm, where hostile intent is often conveyed through the joint interpretation of images, text, cultural references, and implicit targets.

Generative AI tools for creative work tend to be designed around the goal of removing friction, on the assumption that smoother iteration and faster output translate into more value for the designer.

The responsible development and deployment of artificial intelligence (AI) systems requires rigorous documentation of their constituent artifacts, e.g., datasets, model weights, training pipelines, and runtime dependencies.

We introduce APEX-Accounting, a benchmark built by Mercor in partnership with Ramp, to assess whether frontier models can do the real work of accountants. Tasks include reconciling accounts, accruing expenses, posting transactions, and producing reports.

Security operations centers rely on anomaly detection systems to flag suspicious events. Feature-level explanations for anomaly detectors offer limited value for operational investigations.

Generalist manipulation policies increasingly take the form of action-chunking flow policies built on large pretrained backbones. Such chunks run open-loop, so the policy cannot react to sensory input arriving mid-execution, sacrificing \emph{reactivity}.

Production LLM agents are increasingly assembled from a frozen model wrapped in a harness: a prompt template, a tool set, a memory/retrieval layer, a planning strategy, and a verification policy.

Question answering (QA) over irregular clinical time series (ICTS) plays a pivotal role in a wide range of healthcare applications. Although recent multimodal time-series large language models (LLMs) have shown considerable promise in general-purpose time-series QA, they remain…

Conversational entrainment is well-studied in monolingual and written contexts, but remains underexplored in spoken code-switching (CSW). We present a novel cross-lingual analysis of entrainment in Mandarin-English, Hindi-English, and Spanish-English dialogue and show that,…

The reactivity of lithium-metal electrolytes arises from the interplay of molecular functional groups, Li$^+$ solvation, and salt-anion participation. This interplay operates through the redistribution of electron density across donor, anion, and cation centers, which is most…

Pathology foundation models encode non-biological variation introduced by tissue preparation, staining and scanning, enabling shortcut learning that undermines generalisation across institutions.

Interdisciplinary research is accelerating, yet scientific papers remain difficult to understand outside their home fields. We study large language model (LLM)-based simplification of scientific texts and present a human-in-the-loop workflow that transforms expert summaries into…

Religious radio is a widespread but understudied form of mass communication in the United States, and content-level analysis of it has been constrained by the absence of large-scale transcript data.

In this paper, we present an automated data-driven workflow using Machine Learning (ML) for gas lift optimization in unconventional fields. This workflow integrates a ML model that accurately forecasts the Gas Lift Performance Curve, and a Bayesian Optimization Framework to…

Identifying cost-effective indigenous building materials that minimise heat penetration through walls is critical for indoor thermal comfort in low-income rural housing in hot-dry climates, where summer temperatures routinely exceed 45 C.
