Manifest-Assisted Retrieval in Artificial Intelligence Search: Evidence Gaps and a Security Evaluation

Gangzhen Qian, Kainan Zhou, Chuhong Xu, Hang Xiao, Zhi Jing, Rong Bao, Lu Yi, Zhaoyi Li

原文摘要

The external sources retained in our non-systematic audit did not isolate the incremental security or utility effect of consuming /llms.txt while ordinary retrieval remained fixed. The initial audit covered 39 sources through August 16, 2026, with later targeted updates through October 14. A purposive 15-tool study observed no automatic requests in 45 trials at one endpoint; a non-probability log study found that 97% of domains with detected files received no recorded requests in May 2026. We separate publication, fetch, model use, and action; define five operational threat paths and paired security-utility estimands; and exercise deterministic pre-model controls with 30 author-defined parser fixtures. We also execute a reduced pilot: 24 tasks across eight sites, five conditions, and 120 real model responses, with ordinary evidence held fixed. Frozen automatic scoring identifies attacker-target adoption in $21/24$ raw adversarial responses, with one further response unresolved; the adversarial URLs-only condition has no known adoptions and one unresolved response. The pilot measures output changes conditional on supplied evidence, without live retrieval or external actions. Together, the framework and pilot distinguish manifest-content effects from publication, discovery, and downstream execution, while leaving full retrieval and agent evaluation open.

WeVisCut: The Whole Editing Room in One Agent From Narration to Long-Form Video

Chenyu Mu, Wenming Weng, Qinrui Wang, Xingsong Ye, Hao Yu, Jun He, Chong Sun, Chen Li 等 11 位作者

原文摘要

Producing long-form videos from narration requires interdependent decisions that remain coherent across shots. Existing agentic editors often use multi-stage workflows driven by general models, leaving the quality-cost trade-off of compact, task-adapted policies unclear. We address this gap with WeVisCut, a long-form script-to-video system that connects tool execution with policy learning. Its agent harness maintains shared production state so that tool feedback informs subsequent decisions and repairs. Because finished videos do not expose these decisions, our four-stage data pipeline combines editing inversion with verified replay to turn recovered editing intent into executable supervision. Applied to 3,750 finished videos, this pipeline yields over 130K training examples. We use this supervision to train a single 9B policy that coordinates production and recovers from failures within the same harness. Moreover, we introduce a 100-task benchmark and five metrics assessing editing quality and delivery reliability. Under a shared tool environment, WeVisCut substantially outperforms its base model and achieves comparable performance to Claude Opus 5 while using nearly 33x fewer generated tokens per successful output minute. It also outperforms task-matched native editors on our proposed metrics.

Knowledge-structured and evidence-aware semantic self-distillation for glomerular pathology foundation model

Qiming He, Jing Li, Zihan Wang, Tian Guan, Yifei Ma, Zimo Zhao, Yanxia Wang, Hongjing Chen 等 27 位作者

原文摘要

Visual foundation models learn rich pathological morphology but lack explicit concept-level supervision. Vision--language pretraining can provide this supervision but requires costly image--text pairs. Here, we introduce GloSAGE, a semantic self-distillation framework that uses lesion profiles predicted by a pretrained visual teacher to construct structured pathology descriptions. Reliability-guided selection identifies image--text anchors, while Knowledge-Structured Pathology Text Synthesis and Evidence-Guided Negative-pair Construction account for partially observed lesions. Image--text alignment trains projection layers while retaining the frozen visual encoder; an intermediate Semantic Transfer Layer supplies features for downstream tasks. Developed on GloMillion and evaluated across seven glomerulus- and case-level cohorts, GloSAGE supported zero-shot lesion recognition, image--text retrieval, hard-negative discrimination and concept-intervention analyses. It outperformed its source visual model in most lesion-recognition tasks and improved lesion grading, while supporting competitive case-level disease classification, injury grading and baseline renal function estimation. Ablations supported the combined contributions of knowledge-structured text and evidence-guided negatives, and the intermediate transfer layer improved mean lesion-recognition ROC-AUC relative to the complete projection output. A frozen language model conditioned on GloSAGE features generated glomerular descriptions. These findings suggest that teacher-derived lesion profiles can provide annotation-efficient semantic supervision for extending a glomerular visual foundation model.

STAPO: Stabilizing Reinforcement Learning for LLMs by Silencing Rare Spurious Tokens

Shiqi Liu, Zeyu He, Guojian Zhan, Letian Tao, Zhilong Zheng, Jiang Wu, Yinuo Wang, Yang Guan 等 13 位作者

原文摘要

Reinforcement Learning (RL) has significantly improved large language model reasoning, but existing RL fine-tuning methods rely heavily on heuristic techniques such as entropy regularization and reweighting to maintain stability. In practice, they often suffer from late-stage performance collapse, leading to degraded reasoning quality and unstable training. We identify a key factor behind this instability: a small fraction of tokens, termed spurious tokens (around 0.01%), which contribute little to the reasoning outcome but receive disproportionately amplified gradient updates due to inheriting the full sequence-level reward. We present a unified framework for evaluating token-level optimization impacts across spurious risk, gradient norms, and entropy changes. Building on the analysis of token characteristics that severely disrupt optimization, we propose the Silencing Spurious Tokens (S2T) mechanism to efficiently suppress their gradient perturbations. Incorporating this mechanism into a group-based objective, we propose Spurious-Token-Aware Policy Optimization (STAPO), which promotes stable and effective large-scale model refinement. Across six mathematical benchmarks and three model scales, STAPO consistently demonstrates superior entropy stability and achieves average accuracy improvements over baselines including GRPO, 20-Entropy, and JustRL under two widely-adopted evaluation settings.

EPSBench: Benchmarking LLM Agents for Earnings Forecasting

Yanbin Yin, Chuyu Xu, Liqin Ye, Jing Peng, Chao Zhang

原文摘要

Quarterly earnings forecasting requires an agent to connect financial evidence to the income-statement line items that produce a company's reported earnings. We introduce EPSBench, a benchmark for studying this ability across 149 firm-quarters from 86 US companies. Agents read a fixed collection of filings, earnings-call transcripts, and news, then estimate company-specific income-statement drivers with cited evidence. A shared accounting calculator converts these estimates into GAAP diluted earnings per share (EPS), providing a common basis for comparing forecast assumptions. We evaluate six models under a common harness, assessing point forecast error relative to date-matched analyst consensus and checking whether their prediction intervals achieve the stated coverage. Three models show no detectable paired difference in point forecast error from consensus, and three have higher error. Across all six models, nominal 80% intervals contain reported EPS in only 37--70% of runs that return an interval, and most misses fall above the upper bound because the forecasts run low. The driver records trace most of the error gap between models to operating-income estimates.

Observational Equivalence of LLM and Human Annotation

Kentaro Nakamura, Jing Ling Tan, George Yean

原文摘要

In this paper, we show that humans and large language models (LLMs) are observationally equivalent in coding texts. Recent LLMs agree with attentive humans at rates comparable to those observed among humans, and cross-LLM disagreement concentrates on texts that also divide humans. We demonstrate these patterns through replications of text-classification tasks from 14 peer-reviewed political science studies, with 13 LLMs, three human coders (Ph.D. students), and 165 crowd coders, independently applying identical codebooks. We further find that clarifying an underspecified codebook increases agreement among humans and between humans and LLMs. Together, these findings point to ambiguity in texts and coding rules as a shared source of disagreement and challenge the presumption that human labels should take precedence whenever humans and LLMs differ. We therefore argue that the central challenge of text annotation is not simply choosing between humans and LLMs, but developing coding rules that minimize ambiguity and accounting for the ambiguity that remains. To this end, we propose using cross-LLM disagreement to identify difficult cases, guide human review, and refine codebooks, and we develop ambiguity-aware bounds for downstream inference without requiring ground truth for every text.

A General Topological Symmetry Index for Critical Orbits In Neural Network Loss Landscapes

Jingzhou Liu

原文摘要

A systematic understanding of the global structure of neural-network loss landscapes remains challenging due to their high dimensionality. Symmetries arising from network architectures and learning objectives provide a way to investigate aspects of this structure. Although a growing number of studies have drawn attention to these symmetries, a systematic characterization of them, as well as of the critical orbits they give rise to, remains incomplete. To address this gap, in this work we establish a topological symmetry index, based on the methodologies from the family of equivariant degree theories, to decode these symmetries. The frameworks apply to arbitrary network architectures and include methods applicable to degenerate critical orbits. The index detects the isotropy of the critical points and quantifies the corresponding net topological contributions. Several examples, including softplus MLPs, Transformers, and equivariant neural networks, are presented to illustrate the computations.

Bridging Search Intent and Tabular Data in Dataset Search

Wenjing Lin, Madelon Hulsebos

原文摘要

Dataset search remains a bottleneck in data analysis workflows, as existing systems largely rely on keyword matching or shallow retrieval that fail to capture user intent. To facilitate intent-driven search, we present two retrieval components to equip multi-faceted dataset search interfaces through natural language. First, we propose Hypothetical Schema Embeddings (HySE) that uses a language model to generate task-aligned hypothetical table schemas which are used for embedding-based retrieval, bridging the gap between intent and table content. We introduce KaggleDS, a corpus comprising 6,503 tables and diverse task-queries derived from Kaggle, and show that HySE consistently improves recall over strong keyword and embedding-based baselines, as well as over a dense table retriever fine-tuned on KaggleDS. We also show that HySE generalizes to end-to-end question answering on, for example, the NQ-Tables dataset, a corpus of 169,898 Wikipedia tables with human-written queries, where HySE improves Recall@10 by +6.0 pp over dense retrieval baselines. Second, we introduce FlexPrune, which translates dataset constraints expressed in natural-language into SQL predicates over a customizable metadata index, enabling filtering across arbitrary metadata attributes. Combined with HySE, FlexPrune increases Recall@10 by +6.0 pp over dense retrieval followed by tag-based filtering. Our results show that natural-language-based retrieval supporting task and metadata queries offers a viable alternative to schema-level keyword search in dataset search.

Dual Exam: Controlled Evaluation of Multimodal Agents and World Models

Zhefan Rao, Meng Chu, Xuan Billy Zhang, Jingfan Chen, Guohao Cai, Runyi Li, Shiyi Du, Xu Huang 等 92 位作者

原文摘要

World Models (WMs) can support Multimodal Agents (MAs) through simulated experience, while Agent trajectories can inform World Model refinement. Evaluating this interaction requires separate evidence about action selection and state evolution. We introduce Dual Exam, which tests Agents under fixed environment response mechanisms and World Models under fixed action interventions across physical, digital, social, and scientific domains. The Agent track compares 10 configurations on 1,088 items in 15 reporting categories. The World Model track contains 400 cases across eight scenarios; 15 configurations have full coverage and one covers six scenarios. GPT 6 Astra leads the case-weighted Agent Index at 31.3, and GPT-Image-2 leads the full-coverage WM Overall at 21.7. These scores use different tasks and metrics and are not directly comparable. A 150-case pilot of one coupled pairing records zero task successes and motivates component-level diagnosis. Results reveal uneven task performance and failures to preserve task-relevant state. Their value for predicting coupled success or sustained reciprocal learning remains to be established.

B2P-Corr: Batch-to-Population Gradient Estimators for Non-Decomposable Correlation Losses

Jingquan Yan, Yuwei Miao, Peiran Yu, Junzhou Huang

原文摘要

Correlation metrics such as the Pearson Correlation Coefficient (PCC) and Concordance Correlation Coefficient (CCC) are standard regression metrics and learning objectives, but their non-decomposable nature poses a challenge for stochastic optimization. Since these metrics depend on dataset-level moments (mean, variance, covariance), naive mini-batch training with local statistics yields biased, high-variance gradients whose expectation does not align with the population gradient. To bridge this ``batch-to-population'' (B2P) gap, we propose \textbf{B2P-Corr}, a novel framework that transforms correlation objectives into decomposable pseudo-losses driven by lightweight global ``moment sketches''. We introduce two efficient variants: \textbf{B2P-EMA}, which utilizes exponential moving averages and stop-gradient operators to ensure asymptotic gradient tracking with $O(B)$ cost ($B$ is batch size); and \textbf{B2P-U}, which uses sampled cross-batch U-statistic estimators and a reservoir-based stabilization with an $O(B)$ implementation. Theoretically, we quantify the $O(B^{-1})$ bias of naive mini-batch optimization, prove a moving-target tracking result for B2P-EMA under a fast-sketch / slow-parameter regime, and provide an idealized control-variate analysis for B2P-U. Experiments on two synthetic and three real-world datasets demonstrate B2P-Corr achieves stable optimization and higher correlation than naive mini-batch optimization with negligible overhead.

OmniSeek: Native Tool Integration for Multi-turn Audio-Visual Reasoning

Haibo Wang, Jiteng Mu, Jialu Li, Jingru Yi, Yuanjun Xiong, Jianming Zhang, Lifu Huang, Mingze Xu

原文摘要

We present OmniSeek, an agentic framework that transforms an Omni Large Language Model (Omni-LLM) into an active, multi-turn reasoning agent with native tool use. Rather than passively processing an entire audio-visual sequence in a single forward pass, OmniSeek makes evidence acquisition part of the reasoning process: it dynamically decides whether to look or listen, and over which temporal window, to retrieve sparse but critical evidence across different modalities within long contexts. Through an iterative multi-turn protocol, the retrieved raw audio or visual segments are appended back into the context to support subsequent reasoning. To cold-start this capability, we build a data engine that synthesizes OmniTraj-170K, a corpus of multi-hop Chain-of-Thought trajectories with interleaved audio and visual evidence. We first supervise the model on these trajectories to instill multi-turn tool-use behavior, and then further optimize the policy via a two-stage reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards. Moreover, we introduce an Audio-Visual Necessity objective that explicitly rewards successful trajectories whose reasoning depends on both modalities, discouraging single-modality shortcuts. Extensive experiments across a wide range of benchmarks demonstrate that OmniSeek learns adaptive cross-modal evidence seeking and consistently improves audio-visual reasoning performance.

Nemotron 3.5 Super and Lightning: Open, Efficient Mixture-of-Experts Hybrid Mamba-Transformer Models for Agentic AI

NVIDIA, :, Aastha Jhunjhunwala, Aayushi Ashokkumar Srivastava, Abhibha Gupta, Abhinav Garg, Abhinav Khattar, Achsah Wildish 等 559 位作者

原文摘要

We introduce Nemotron 3.5 Super and Nemotron 3.5 Lightning, open and efficient Mixture-of-Experts Hybrid Mamba-Transformer models designed for reasoning, long-context understanding, and agentic workloads. Super is a 120B-parameter, 12B-active multimodal model, while Lightning is a smaller 30B-parameter, 3B-active text model; both designed for efficient deployment. Both models combine large-scale distillation, long-context training, and native speculative decoding, while Super further incorporates Indic continued pretraining and agentic software-engineering mid-training. We develop a comprehensive post-training pipeline spanning supervised fine-tuning and reinforcement learning (RLVR and RLHF), complemented in Super by specialized teacher training and multi- teacher on-policy distillation (MOPD). This transforms Super from a text-only base model into a multimodal agent capable of reasoning over text, images, video, and interactive tool environments. We further explore test-time scaling through parallel agent execution and self-verification. Across training and deployment, we jointly optimize capability and efficiency. Indic continued pretraining improves Indian-language benchmarks by up to 9.82 percentage points, while agentic mid-training strengthens software-engineering capabilities and robustness across agent harnesses. The post-trained Super model achieves 51.78% on SWE-bench Pro, surpassing Nemotron 3 Ultra despite using approximately 4.6x fewer active parameters. Post-training MTP boosting improves speculative- decoding acceptance length by up to 21.8% under probabilistic draft sampling, while NVFP4 quantization achieves 99.62% median accuracy recovery relative to BF16. Inference optimizations enable up to 4,856 output tokens/s/GPU on GB200 while sustaining at least 50 tokens/s/user.

CADENCE: Distributional Next-Transaction Forecasting for Business Cash-Flow Underwriting

Alexander Wu, Jingchao Huang

原文摘要

Recurring cash flows are the backbone of cash-flow underwriting: they separate durable revenue from one-off deposits, expose standing obligations, and ultimately determine ability to pay. For small businesses, recurrence is both indispensable and hard to estimate, because much of their income arrives as ambiguous transfers, most payment streams are short, and schedules follow calendar conventions that frequency-domain methods treat as noise. We present CADENCE, Calendar-Aware Distributional Event Network for Cash-Flow Estimation, a compact causal Transformer that treats each transaction as a token and predicts the amount and a full, nonparametric timing distribution of every cash flow's next payment. Inheriting transaction semantics from an external labeler and a frozen text encoder keeps CADENCE compact yet general across the long tail of small-business counterparties, while predicting a calibrated distribution rather than an opaque embedding makes its outputs interpretable enough to feed existing underwriting models and power credit decisions. Ablations confirm the role of each design choice, with counterparty semantics driving recall on short histories, calendar inputs driving timing accuracy, and no-event supervision driving precision. Against the production FFT baseline, CADENCE improves one-day timing accuracy by 93.3% and next-event F1 by 6.7%, while producing calibrated distributions that serve directly as a confidence gate for downstream decisions. In an end-to-end credit evaluation on production applications, replacing FFT recurrence features with CADENCE features raises KS by 4.8%, raises the approval rate at a fixed loss rate by 18.2%, and lowers the loss rate at a fixed approval rate by 13.1%.

PromptSense: Sentiment-Aware Mental Health Chatbot with Dynamic Prompting

Sugi Lee, Jianlong Zhou, Jing sUN

原文摘要

Current Large Language Models (LLMs)-based mental health chatbots often lack sufficient empathy, contextual awareness, and safety mechanisms, potentially leading to ineffective or harmful interactions. This paper proposes a novel framework that integrates sentiment and depression analysis with a rule-based filtering mechanism prior to model inference. By dynamically constructing prompts based on emotional and risk-related insights, the framework aims to significantly improve the contextual relevance, empathy, and risk-aware of model-generated responses. We evaluated four model strategies and two prompt engineered variants across qualitative metrics such as empathy, helpfulness, clarity, relevance, safety, as well as toxicity assessments using the Perspective API. Experimental results indicate that the prompt engineering approaches outperforms DSFT and RLAIF by 1.8\% and 1.1\% respectively.

MAGIC: Multi-task Gaussian process for joint imputation and classification in healthcare time series

Dohyun Ku, Catherine D. Chong, Visar Berisha, Todd J. Schwedt, Jing Li

原文摘要

Time series analysis has emerged as an important tool for improving patient diagnosis and management in healthcare applications. However, these applications commonly face two critical challenges: time misalignment and data sparsity. Traditional approaches address these issues through a two-step process of imputation followed by prediction. We propose MAGIC (Multi-tAsk Gaussian Process for Imputation and Classification), a novel unified framework that simultaneously performs class-informed missing value imputation and label prediction within a hierarchical multi-task Gaussian process coupled with functional logistic regression. To handle intractable likelihood components, MAGIC employs Taylor expansion approximations with bounded error analysis, and parameter estimation is performed using EM algorithm with block coordinate optimization supported by convergence analysis. We validate MAGIC through two healthcare applications: prediction of post-traumatic headache improvement following mild traumatic brain injury and prediction of in-hospital mortality within 48 hours after ICU admission. In both applications, MAGIC achieves superior predictive accuracy compared to existing methods. The ability to generate real-time and accurate predictions with limited samples facilitates early clinical assessment and treatment planning, enabling healthcare providers to make more informed treatment decisions.

FISH Omics Format: a standard enabling FAIR chromatin tracing data sharing across repositories

Rahi Navelkar, Andrea Cosolo, Iago Maceda Porto, Bogdan Bintu, Yubao Cheng, Vincent Gardeux, Silvia Gutnik, Taihei Fujimori 等 40 位作者

原文摘要

In recent years, multiplexed Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization (FISH) or FISH-omics methods have rapidly expanded, enabling the quantification of chromatin organization in single cells, often in conjunction with measurements of RNAs and proteins. These approaches have deepened our understanding of how 3D chromosome architecture relates to transcriptional activity and cell states in health and disease. Despite these advances, results from Chromatin Tracing FISH-omics experiments remain challenging to share, reuse, and analyze due to the absence of standardized data exchange specifications. Building on the release of microscopy metadata standards, we introduce the FISH Omics Format-Chromatin Tracing (FOF-CT), a community-developed standard for processed results from diverse imaging modalities. We describe the FOF-CT file format and present a curated collection of datasets deposited in the 4D Nucleome Data Portal and the OME Image Data Resource (IDR). We also highlight their potential for reuse, integration, and modeling by outlining example analysis pipelines and illustrating biological insights enabled by standardized, FAIR-compliant Chromatin Tracing datasets. FOF-CT natively represents both ball-and-stick and volumetric Chromatin Tracing data, unifying the two modalities within a single, modular table-based architecture (FOF-bas-CT and FOF-vol-CT, respectively).

Advisor, Co-pilot, or Guardian? AI Role Framing and Human Decision Behavior in Automated Vehicle Takeovers

Wei-Hsiang Lo, Jingyi Xie, Gaojian Huang

原文摘要

Artificial intelligence (AI) technology has gradually been integrated into automated vehicles. However, how this technology could systematically support takeover transitions in SAE Level 3 automated vehicles remains unknown, even though this level may remain a major form of driving automation in the near future. To address this, we implemented the three AI roles proposed by the triadic Human-AI collaboration framework (Advisor, Co-pilot, and Guardian) as potential authority-ability configurations for AI agents within an automated system. We then examined their interactions with explanation type (why and action) and directional semantics (ipsilateral and contralateral) in an automated driving simulator study with 24 participants. Results showed that, across the three AI roles, Advisor had the shortest decision-making time, followed by Guardian and Co-pilot. Advisor and Guardian were associated with higher decision-making accuracy and higher satisfaction ratings than Co-pilot. Guardian was associated with the lowest workload, followed by Advisor and Co-pilot. The effect of explanation type on decision-making time depended on AI role. Action explanations were faster under Advisor, whereas why explanations were faster under Co-pilot. For directional semantics, ipsilateral semantics were associated with shorter decision-making time than contralateral semantics. Overall, these findings provide preliminary guidance for designing AI-role authority-ability configurations and their associated speech-based takeover messages.

Prompts to Proxies: Emulating Human Preferences via a Compact LLM Ensemble

Bingchen Wang, Zi-Yu Khoo, Jingtan Wang

原文摘要

Large language models are increasingly used as proxies for human subjects in social science research, yet external validity requires matching the response distributions of target human populations. We study population-level survey alignment: reconstructing aggregate survey responses from limited public survey data, without individual-level demographic profiles or model finetuning. We formalize this problem as preference reconstruction: rather than matching proxy agents to demographic profiles, we construct a functional basis of proxy agents and recover population preferences by weighted aggregation. We instantiate this idea via Prompts to Proxies ($\texttt{P2P}$), a two-stage inference-time system. Stage 1 uses structured attribute-based prompting with entropy-guided adaptive sampling to construct a diverse proxy pool spanning the latent preference space. Stage 2 employs L1-regularized regression to select a compact weighted ensemble matching observed target-population responses. Across 14 American Trends Panel waves, $\texttt{P2P}$ achieves an average test MSE of 0.014 at approximately 0.8 USD per survey, improving over prompting and demographic-conditioning baselines. On the World Values Survey, cross-locale transfer experiments show that basis expressiveness can outperform locale matching on average, while locale-specific generation helps on culturally divergent questions. A stress test against an SFT-aligned survey model shows competitive performance using less than 3\% of the training data. These results position preference reconstruction as a lightweight, externally verifiable alternative for survey-based population alignment. Code is available at https://github.com/bingchen-wang/P2P.

SWE-Bench ProMax: Benchmarking Agents on Large-Scale Multilingual Code Refactoring

Yuling Shi, Jinghan Xu, Kelin Fu, Wenhao Zeng, Shilin He, Lei Zhang, Yue Liu, Zelin Zhao 等 15 位作者

原文摘要

As AI coding agents take on increasingly complex, long-horizon software engineering tasks, existing benchmarks are rapidly saturating and their evaluation quality has come under serious scrutiny: a recent audit found that nearly 60% of unsolved SWE-bench Verified instances contain flawed tests -- either overly narrow tests that reject correct solutions or overly broad tests that check unstated requirements -- and that frontier models can verbatim reproduce gold patches from training data. Code refactoring, which requires coordinated, behavior-preserving changes across many files, offers a substantially harder and more realistic test of agent capability, yet remains underserved by current benchmarks. We introduce SWE-Bench ProMax, an expert-curated, multilingual code refactoring benchmark of 170 instances drawn from real commits across seven programming languages (Python, Java, TypeScript, Go, C, C++, and Rust). Every instance undergoes rigorous, multi-stage curation that directly addresses the quality problems identified in prior benchmarks: issue descriptions are rewritten from scratch to provide precise, unambiguous specifications, and test suites are manually reviewed to remove overly narrow and overly broad tests. Tasks with insufficient complexity or limited cross-file scope are filtered out, yielding a benchmark of challenging, large-scale refactoring tasks that average 11.5 modified files and 261.6 lines of code per instance, substantially exceeding the scale of existing benchmarks. Experiments with frontier models under two agent scaffolds show that the best model achieves only 41.2% resolve rate, confirming that SWE-Bench ProMax presents a meaningful and unsaturated challenge for current AI coding agents. Our benchmark is available at https://huggingface.co/datasets/swe-bench-promax/SWE-Bench-ProMax.

Learning Without Clocks: Partition-Invariant Neural Network

Han Wang, Jingyuan Bao, Juntao Wu, Saiao Zhou, Yuman Nie

原文摘要

Event cameras, spiking cochleas and similar sensors emit asynchronous events, yet most learning systems first bin them into frames or packets, so the output depends on how the stream was sliced. Networks whose state is updated exactly at every event and evolves in closed form between events are invariant to this slicing. We ask what more makes the output (i) independent of the processing order of simultaneous events and (ii) continuous in the time stamps, even when two events cross in time, while (iii) staying sensitive to temporal order. For arbitrary nonlinear event models we prove that (i) and (ii) are each equivalent to pairwise commutation of the event updates, and that once updates commute, all order dependence comes from their non-commutation with the inter-event dynamics and vanishes linearly in the time lag. This identifies a class of time-mediated non-commutative (TM) models and yields a resolution-robustness bound for any model. We construct the minimal TM layer, a learnable, provably Lipschitz generalization of the Hassenstein-Reichardt correlator; prove that no single additive layer can uniformly represent ordered pair interactions, whereas a three-dimensional TM state can; show that each TM layer adds two levels of temporal nesting versus one for additive layers; and give a single-layer higher-order construction (TM-k) and a stacking rule preserving all three properties. We instantiate these results as the Clock-Free Event (CFE) layer, linear in the number of events, give a topology-free variant for temporal point processes with closed-form likelihoods, and specify a preregistered clock-robustness protocol with a physical-time threat model for spike-retiming attacks. In preliminary development-set experiments, the TM state beats an otherwise identical additive state by 3.5-9.1 points on DVS128 Gesture and by 24.5 and 30.6 points on SHD and Speech Commands.

Locating Sycophancy Across Training Stages in Open Language Models

Jiarui Yao, Shweta Parihar, Nghia Tuan Bui, Guergana K Savova, Lijing Wang

原文摘要

Language model assistants sometimes change a correct answer when the user suggests a wrong one. The behavior, called sycophancy, is usually attributed to preference-based post-training, yet early measurements found it in pretrained models. We ask where it comes from by measuring it at every available stage of training: 13 open checkpoints from 5 lineages, from base model through supervised fine-tuning and preference optimization to release. We separate how far an injected claim moves a model's answer from how firmly the answer was held, and vary who makes the claim, how reliable they are said to be, and how strongly they make it. Two sycophancy behaviors with different origins emerge, and both replicate across datasets. Deference to a claim in the prompt is already present in every base model, which ranks sources in the same order as its post-trained descendants. Capitulation in conversation, dropping a stated answer when the user objects, is largely absent from base models and present in every post-trained checkpoint. When the objection names an alternative, most post-trained models give up firmly held answers as often as loosely held ones. We discuss the implications of these measurements for evaluating sycophancy and approaches for addressing each behavior.

Metacognitive Decoding: Efficient Inference for Diffusion Language Agents

Mingyu Zhao, Shuhang Lin, Ligong Han, Xiaojing Yu, Zhenting Wang, Yifei Pang, Yang Zhou, Dimitris N. Metaxas

原文摘要

Diffusion language models offer a promising path to efficient agents through parallel token generation. However, efficient interaction requires adapting both where computation is spent and how much text is generated. We introduce a metacognitive controller that guides diffusion generation according to the needs of the current response and the agent's interaction with the environment. It learns when to finalize tokens and how far generation should extend, reducing overall computation within responses. Our controller, a lightweight plug-in for the diffusion backbone, is trained on agent trajectories to balance correctness and generation cost. This approach connects the agent's generation process to the interaction the agent serves. Experiments across five benchmarks demonstrate that our approach reduces inference FLOPs by 20.6% on average compared with the most efficient baseline, while maintaining competitive task accuracy. Ablation studies further validate the effectiveness of our approach.

Timestral

原文摘要

We introduce Timestral, a family of four time series foundation models for probabilistic forecasting, with 5M, 28M, 123M, and 209M parameters. Timestral sets a new state of the art on GIFT-Eval, TIME, and fev-bench, where Timestral-209M and Timestral-123M take the top two places on every metric. We achieve this with three ingredients: Decoupled Horizon Forecasting (DHF), which separates prediction tokens from the causally encoded context, so that longer horizons are trained without masking context and each observed value is both a forecast target and context for later forecasts; a covariate framework that natively supports known-future covariates within a causal architecture; and a two-stage pipeline that pretrains exclusively on a diverse, large-scale synthetic corpus before post-training on a mix of real and synthetic data with extended context. This report describes the model design and its benchmark results. Weights for all four models are available on Hugging Face and inference code on GitHub.

BadTime: An Effective Backdoor Attack on Multivariate Long-Term Time Series Forecasting

Kunlan Xiang, Haomiao Yang, Wenbo Jiang, Haoxin Wang, Shiyue Huang, Shaofeng Li, Yijing Liu, Ji Guo

原文摘要

Multivariate long-term time series forecasting (MLTSF) models are increasingly deployed in critical domains such as climate, finance, and transportation. Despite their growing importance, the security of MLTSF models against backdoor attacks remains entirely unexplored. To bridge this gap, we propose BadTime, the first effective backdoor attack tailored for MLTSF. BadTime can manipulate hundreds of future predictions toward a target pattern by injecting a subtle trigger. BadTime addresses two key challenges that become particularly severe in MLTSF: (i) the rapid dilution of local triggers over long horizons, and (ii) the extreme sparsity of backdoor signals under stealth constraints. To counter dilution, BadTime leverages inter-variable correlations, temporal lags, and data-driven initialization to design a distributed, lag-aware trigger whose influence persists over long-range forecasts. To overcome sparsity, it mixes label-similar and label-dissimilar poisoned samples and adopts a decoupled backdoor training objective that explicitly up-weights the sparse backdoor signal, enabling reliable learning at a poisoning rate as low as 1%. Extensive experiments show that BadTime significantly outperforms the state-of-the-art backdoor attack on time series forecasting by extending the attackable horizon from at most 12 timesteps to 720 timesteps (a 60x improvement) and reducing the MAE on target variables by 57% on average, while changing the average clean forecasting error by less than 1%.

The Minimum Subpacketization of Reed-Solomon Codes with Linear Repair Achieving the Cut-Set Bound

Weijun Fang, Jing Qiu, Shu-Tao Xia, Fang-Wei Fu

原文摘要

In this paper, we study the minimum subpacketization of $(n,k)$ Reed-Solomon (RS) codes over $\mathbb{F}_{q^\ell}$ admitting cut-set-optimal exact $\mathbb{F}_q$-linear repair of every coordinate from any $d$ helpers. For $3\le k<d\le n-1$, write $s=d+1-k$ and denote this minimum by $\ell_{min}(n,k,d;q)$. Using divisibility and relative-degree constraints on cross-ratio fields of evaluation sets, we establish $\ell_{min}(n,k,d;q)\ge sG_s(d+1)$, where $G_s(m)$ is the minimum product of $m$ pairwise coprime integers, each at least $s$. Let $Δ_s(n,d)$ be the minimum of $lcm(a_1,\ldots,a_n)$ over positive integers $a_1,\ldots,a_n$ satisfying $lcm(a_j:j\in J\cup\{i\})\ge s~lcm(a_j:j\in J)$ for every $d$-subset $J\subseteq[n]$ and every $i\in[n]\setminus J$. We construct RS codes with subpacketization $sΔ_s(n,d)$ and further prove that $\ell_{min}(n,k,d;q)=sΔ_s(n,d)=sG_s(n)$ whenever $d(d+2)\geq 4(n+1)$, for every prime power $q$. In particular, this determines the minimum subpacketization in the full-helper case $d=n-1$, resolving the corresponding exact linear-repair case of Open Problem 20 posed by Ramkumar et al. in their survey on codes for distributed storage. We further give a finite formula for $G_s(n)$ and determine the exact threshold for its closed-form expression in terms of the first $n$ primes. For fixed $k$ and $d$, we prove $\log\ell_{min}(n,k,d;q)= Θ_{k,d}(\log n\log\log n)$ as $n\to\infty$, using divisor-function estimates and cover-free families. An affine-plane construction shows that $Δ_s(n,d)<G_s(n)$ for some parameters, so $sG_s(n)$ is not a universal formula. We conjecture that $\ell_{min}(n,k,d;q)=sΔ_s(n,d)$ for every prime power $q$ and all $3\le k<d\le n-1$.

StablePCA: Distributionally Robust Learning of Shared Representations from Multi-Source Data

Zhenyu Wang, Molei Liu, Jing Lei, Francis Bach, Zijian Guo

原文摘要

When synthesizing multi-source high-dimensional data, a key objective is to extract low-dimensional representations that effectively approximate the original features across different sources. Such representations facilitate the discovery of transferable structures and help mitigate systematic biases such as batch effects. We introduce Stable Principal Component Analysis (StablePCA), a distributionally robust framework for constructing stable latent representations by maximizing the worst-case explained variance over multiple sources. A primary challenge in extending classical PCA to the multi-source setting lies in the nonconvex rank constraint, which renders the StablePCA formulation a nonconvex optimization problem. To overcome this challenge, we conduct a convex relaxation of StablePCA and develop an efficient Mirror-Prox algorithm to solve the relaxed problem, with global convergence guarantees. Since the relaxed problem generally differs from the original formulation, we further introduce a data-dependent certificate to assess how well the algorithm solves the original nonconvex problem and establish the condition under which the relaxation is tight. Finally, we explore alternative distributionally robust formulations of multi-source PCA based on different loss functions.

EvoIn: Bridging Evolution and Internalization for Agent Fine-Tuning

Shihan Dou, Shaofan Liu, Zhonghang Lu, Jiahang Lin, Shichun Liu, Binghai Wang, Jiajie Jin, Guanting Dong 等 11 位作者

原文摘要

Recent work has explored improving agents by jointly evolving their harnesses and models, but often takes a ''potpourri'' approach that bundles together new tools, new decision-making procedures, and model adaptation to the evolved harness under a single notion of agent improvement. In this paper, we instead investigate how agents can improve their decision-making procedures. In particular, we propose EvoIn, an agent fine-tuning framework that bridges evolution and internalization. EvoIn first analyzes agent execution traces to evolve and validate new decision-making procedures by temporarily instantiating them in the harness. The validated procedures guide the agent to generate improved reasoning traces. These traces are then rewritten into self-contained reasoning traces, removing explicit references to harness instructions while expressing the induced decision logic as the model's own reasoning. Finally, EvoIn fine-tunes the model on the rewritten traces, internalizing these procedures so that the improved decision-making persists without the evolved harness at inference time. We evaluate EvoIn on diverse benchmarks and find that it consistently enables agents to learn stronger decision-making procedures, raising the pass rate by 10.9 points in-domain and by 9.2 points out-of-domain. Results further show that the internalized decision procedures generalize to unseen tasks. Case studies show that agents can learn to decide how to solve a task before solving it, for example by checking a document's length to choose between reading it in full and searching it. EvoIn is also broadly applicable, showing consistent improvements on another model family.

Normative Deviation Modeling for EEG-based Depression Detection

Wan Jiang, Jingqi Cheng, Hui Zhang, Xu Zhao, Xiaojing Chen, Shengeng Tang, Jingjing Wu, Richang Hong

原文摘要

Web-enabled digital health services are expanding access to physiological monitoring and mental health screening. However, electroencephalography (EEG)-based major depressive disorder (MDD) detection remains challenging across heterogeneous data sources, where individual variability and acquisition differences may affect disease-related representations. In this work, we investigate the use of healthy normative references for EEG-based MDD detection. Specifically, structural and distributional reference models are independently trained using healthy control (HC) recordings to characterize departures from healthy EEG patterns. We develop two diagnostic approaches that incorporate normative deviations at different representation levels. Scalar-level Normative Deviation-guided Diagnosis (S-NDD) summarizes structural and distributional deviations into scalar scores and integrates them with deep EEG representations. Feature-level Normative Deviation-guided Diagnosis (F-NDD) retains dimension-wise residuals and combines them with deep EEG representations through attention-based aggregation and auxiliary supervision. We also employ target HC-assisted score calibration for cross-source evaluation without updating the trained models. Experiments on two public EEG datasets examine both approaches under subject-independent within-source and bidirectional cross-source settings. The results demonstrate the effectiveness of normative deviation-guided diagnosis across different evaluation settings.

LESSRec: Level-Specific History Modeling for Semantic ID-Based Recommendation

Shangxin Yang, Zongwei Wang, Jing Long, Junliang Yu, Min Gao

原文摘要

Semantic ID-based recommendation represents each item as a sequence of semantic tokens obtained through residual quantization. This paradigm generates the next item's tokens autoregressively from coarse to fine, entailing each prediction attending to historical tokens at all semantic levels. However, our inference-time analysis reveals that historical tokens at the target-token's semantic level tend to be more informative, whereas other levels can introduce interference. Motivated by these findings, we propose LESSRec that separately encodes the historical token sequence at each semantic level and restricts attention over historical tokens to the sequence at the target token's semantic level during prediction. To complement these level-specific histories, LESSRec explicitly provides an item-level semantic sequence that represents each historical item's overall semantics in chronological order. The decoder accesses the level-aligned token sequence and the item-level semantic sequence through two separate cross-attention branches and fuses their contexts. We further introduce LESSRec+, which uses separate encoders for different semantic-level histories with the same total parameter count to reduce encoder computation. Extensive experiments across three public datasets and three tokenizers demonstrate the recommendation effectiveness of LESSRec and LESSRec+, with efficiency analyses highlighting the computational benefits of LESSRec+.

Sharpness-Aware Muon: Matrix-Aware Optimization with Momentum-Guided Perturbations

Zhiwei Zhai, Wenjing Yan, Ying-Jun Angela Zhang

原文摘要

Muon is a matrix-aware optimizer that combines momentum with orthogonalization to produce structured update directions with strong empirical behavior. However, it only shapes the geometry of the update itself and does not explicitly control neighborhood worst-case loss or bias training toward flat regions, which are often linked to stronger generalization. To address this limitation, we introduce the sharpness-aware formulation of Muon. We first develop \textsc{MuSAM}, which incorporates Sharpness-Aware Minimization (SAM)-style perturbation into Muon's orthogonalized update and establishes a principled bridge between sharpness-aware training and matrix-aware optimization. We then show that this formulation faces an efficiency--stability tension: constructing the perturbation requires an extra gradient evaluation, while the perturbation itself is generated from a single minibatch gradient and is therefore noisy. To resolve this issue, we propose \textsc{MoMuSAM}, which turns Muon's momentum from an update variable into a sharpness-probing signal. By using normalized momentum as the perturbation direction, \textsc{MoMuSAM} removes the extra clean-gradient computation and replaces the single-batch perturbation proxy with a temporally aggregated one. We prove that both \textsc{MuSAM} and \textsc{MoMuSAM} attain the same asymptotic first-order stationarity order, and further show that \textsc{MoMuSAM} yields a more stable stochastic linearization than \textsc{MuSAM}. Experiments on standard benchmarks demonstrate that sharpness awareness consistently improves Muon.
