Unintended Side Effects of Value Training in LLMs

Siddhesh Pawar, Chen Cecilia Liu, Anna Korhonen, Isabelle Augenstein

原文摘要

As LLMs are increasingly deployed in value-sensitive contexts, aligning them with human values has emerged as a post-training objective in NLP, aimed at instilling additional values and guiding model behaviour. However, current evaluations remain narrow. Because values are interconnected, it is unclear how fine-tuning for specific values alters unrelated capabilities and behaviours. In this work, we adapt four instruction-tuned LLMs across individual Hofstede's value dimensions and evaluate them on both cross-value transfer and broader behaviours. We find that value-specific training produces unintended side effects on untrained values, risk preferences, social cognition, and safety traits. Consequently, we suggest that value alignment after post-training should incorporate broader behavioral evaluations, and we highlight the need to investigate where additional value training might best fit into the pipeline. We release all 48 value-tuned model checkpoints at https://huggingface.co/sidicity/cultural-value-models

Multimodal Zero-Shot Prediction for Transaction Data at Scale

Parameswaran Kamalaruban, Viktor Drobnyi, Maeve Madigan, Julia Rozanova, David Sutton, Stuart Burrell

原文摘要

Sequential financial transaction data are increasingly being used by financial institutions to train payment foundation models at scale, producing rich contextual embeddings that support applications such as fraud prevention, credit risk assessment, and offer personalization. However, such models are not designed for flexible instruction-following reasoning and require bespoke downstream models for each application. In contrast, large language models (LLMs) provide a natural-language interface for flexible transaction reasoning, yet naively serializing transaction histories into text representations is inefficient and costly. Multimodal fusion architectures bridge these paradigms, injecting transaction embeddings directly into flexible language reasoning pipelines. In this work, we present a systematic study of how transaction embeddings, pretrained at the scale of a global payments network, interact with LLM-based reasoning through embedding injection, transaction-language alignment, and instruction tuning. To do so, we train the Multimodal Instruction Network for Transactions (MINT), which combines a transaction encoder pretrained on billions of real-world payments with multimodal instruction tuning on millions of transaction question-answering examples. We evaluate predictive and extractive question answering, zero-shot generalization to unseen question types, and inference efficiency. Our results reveal a consistent trade-off: compact transaction embeddings improve predictive QA accuracy while substantially reducing input tokens, latency, and memory relative to a text-serialized baseline, whereas serialized histories remain highly competitive for extractive QA. Overall, our empirical findings provide a set of actionable insights and practical guidance for building multimodal transaction-aware language systems at network scale.

ZFLean: a framework for set-level mathematics in Lean

Vincent Trélat, Matteo Pouillat

原文摘要

We present ZFLean, a Lean 4 library for doing core mathematics inside a model of ZFC with the ergonomics expected of typed Mathlib developments. Building on Mathlib's ZFC model, we contribute a relational calculus for sets with rewriting hints and small predictable tactics, canonical set-theoretic constructions -- Booleans, naturals, integers, sums/option -- and bridges between ZFC objects and Lean's native types enabling mixed set-level/typed proofs. The layer reduces boilerplate for extensional reasoning while remaining compatible with vanilla Mathlib. We discuss library organization and usage patterns that lower the friction of set-theoretic formalization in a dependently typed assistant. We demonstrate typical use of the framework with a case study exercising our constructions and relational calculus through a proof of an isomorphism theorem on curried functions.

BELLS-O: Evaluating the Operational Trade-offs of LLM Supervision Systems

Leonhard Waibl, Felix Michalak, Hadrien Mariaccia

原文摘要

LLM supervision systems, namely input/output moderation filters and jailbreak detectors, are the primary safeguard against misuse in deployed AI applications, yet existing benchmarks are often vendor-biased, omit cost and latency, and rarely compare specialized guardrails against repurposed generalist LLMs. We present BELLS-O (Benchmark for the Evaluation of LLM Supervision Systems, Operational), an independent operational benchmark that evaluates 33 systems from 17 developers: specialized guardrails (e.g., Llama Guard 4, ShieldGemma-2B, Lakera Guard) and frontier generalists repurposed as supervisors (e.g., GPT-5.4, Claude Sonnet 4.6, Grok 4.1 Fast), jointly on detection rate, false-positive rate, latency, and cost. We cover input/output moderation across 11 harm categories, jailbreak detection across 13 attack techniques, and prompt-injection detection, using in-house datasets built from handcrafted prompts, curated external samples, and quality-controlled synthetic generation, with synthetic moderation samples paraphrased to suppress generator fingerprints. Content-moderation runs are repeated five times and all rates reported with 95% intervals. The Pareto frontier reveals use-case-dependent tradeoffs. On content moderation, specialized supervisors are operationally ahead: top systems match the best generalist LLMs on detection (93-96%, no significant difference) at low false-positive rates while running ~5x faster; cost depends more on serving setup than on class. On jailbreak detection, generalist LLMs achieve higher median detection on three of four datasets and lower false-positive rates, but at higher latency and, for closed frontier models, 10-100x higher cost. On prompt injection, the two best dedicated detectors lead. We release the framework, an interactive leaderboard, and four datasets as a vendor-neutral basis for selecting safeguards under deployment constraints.

A Tactile-Informed Bi-Level Framework with Complementary Motion-Contact Planning and Tracking for Robust Model-Based In-Hand Manipulation

Yongpeng Jiang, Mingrui Yu, Yi Ren, Xiang Li

原文摘要

In dexterous in-hand manipulation, learning-based methods achieve strong task performance with increasing generalization to unseen objects. A complementary advantage of model-based methods, central to this work, is online adaptation to new task specifications without policy retraining, given suitable system models. However, due to the complexity of physical contacts and limited sensing modalities, existing model-based methods still struggle with modeling errors, even when using advanced contact models or optimization schemes, which limit their real-world applications. To advance the effectiveness and robustness of model-based contact-rich in-hand manipulation, this paper proposes a novel bi-level framework with tactile incorporation to mitigate these limitations. Specifically, at the high level, reference finger motions and contacts are jointly generated via contact-implicit model predictive control. The high-level module enables online reactive planning and disturbance recovery. At the low level, these references are concurrently tracked through a hand force-motion model and tactile feedback. The low-level module compensates for modeling errors and enhances manipulation robustness. The complementarity between the two levels is manifested in two dimensions: 1) subsystem decomposition, with a slow optimization-based planning layer and a fast tactile-reactive control layer; and 2) functional decomposition, combining task-level optimality with contact-level stability. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our approach outperforms existing model-based methods in accuracy and robustness, while supporting online replanning during execution. Our method successfully completes a diverse set of challenging tasks in real-world environments, even under appreciable external disturbances and modeling uncertainties.

Towards Automated Recommendation of Steady-State Detection Algorithms for Software Performance Benchmarks

Martin Beseda, Vittorio Cortellessa, Federico Di Menna, Daniele Di Pompeo, Luca Traini

原文摘要

Steady-state detection is a central step in software performance benchmarking, yet different detection methods rely on different assumptions and may perform best on different execution profiles. This paper formulates steady-state detection as an algorithm-recommendation problem: given a benchmark time series, predict which of two complementary detectors is more appropriate. The first, CP-SSD, identifies steady state through changepoint-based segmentation of the execution trace, whereas the second, KB-KSSD, uses a kernel-based approach to identify stable behaviour. We propose a data-driven recommender that characterises benchmark time series using automatically extracted features and combines supervised prediction with information derived from groups of time series exhibiting similar behaviour. The approach is evaluated on 407 labelled benchmark time series for which one of the two detectors can be identified as preferable with respect to a reference steady-state index. The proposed recommender selects the better detector correctly for 72.97% of the series, compared with 62.65% when always selecting the detector that performs best most often, corresponding to an absolute improvement of 10.32 percentage points. Paired statistical testing and bootstrap confidence intervals support this improvement. A comparison with a recommender using time-series features alone shows that the cluster-derived information mainly improves interpretability rather than predictive accuracy. Recommendations also remain highly stable when the unsupervised representation is learned from either the labelled subset or the full collection of 5,860 time series. These results demonstrate the feasibility of per-series steady-state detector recommendation while highlighting the need for broader labelled data, particularly for execution profiles favouring the changepoint-based detector.

Game-Theoretic Analysis of RIS-Assisted Challenge-Response PLA - Part I: Perfect Channel Knowledge

Anna V. Guglielmi, Linda Senigagliesi, Marco Baldi, Stefano Tomasin

原文摘要

We consider a physical layer authentication scenario in which a legitimate user (Alice) communicates with an authen- ticator (Bob) through a reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS), controlled by Bob. An attacker (Trudy) aims to impersonate Alice by suitably precoding her messages and still transmitting them through the RIS. This two-part study analyzes this attack-defense interaction between Bob and Trudy under perfect (Part I) and partial (Part II) channel knowledge by all the agents. Part I formulates the joint RIS selection and precoder design under perfect channel knowledge as a finite zero-sum game, establishing exact channel subspace conditions for attack indistinguishability alongside equilibrium mixed strategies. Part II extends the defense to incomplete channel information, where each agent observes only its own channel, by formulating a finite-action Bayesian game and characterizing the resulting Bayesian Nash equilibrium. Simulations in geometric and 3GPP TR 38.901 UMi-NLOS channels reveal that authentication performance is governed by available spatial degrees of freedom, channel correlation, and operating signal-to-noise ratio. The proposed equilibrium strategies effectively balance communication rate and security, outperforming conventional benchmark policies.

To Race or Not to Race? Exploiting Performance Variability in Mixed-Integer Programming via Root-Gated Resource Allocation

Mourchid Adegbindin, Brenda Dietrich, Jamol Pender

原文摘要

Mixed-integer programming (MIP) solver runtimes vary substantially across random seeds. Parallel replication exploits this variability but can waste computational resources when applied indiscriminately. We investigate whether information from an ordinary solve can guide this allocation decision. We formulate replication under a finite deadline, establish an exact relationship between runtime dispersion and the value of independent searches, and analyze delayed replication and imperfect allocation decisions. Using 101,615 seeded SCIP runs, we examine the association between root-LP dual degeneracy and replication value. We then introduce a non-invasive root-gated policy that preserves the original solver trajectory and launches three additional seeded processes when a root dual-degeneracy indicator reaches a fixed threshold. In a prospective two-hour experiment on 130 paired instances, root-gated racing proves optimality on 77 instances (59.23%), versus 73 (56.15%) for both Single and unconditional Race-4, while reducing active worker-process occupancy by 43.00% relative to unconditional racing. These findings demonstrate the promise of selective parallel resource allocation without solver-source modifications.

A Finite Markov Chain Analysis of the Simplified Swarm Optimisation Update Rule

Wei-Chang Yeh

原文摘要

Simplified swarm optimisation (SSO) updates each variable by one draw that copies the global or personal best, keeps the current value or redraws uniformly, with probabilities $c_g$, $c_p$, $c_w$ and $c_r$. As a finite Markov chain under frozen memory, its coordinate kernel $c_w I + (1 - c_w)Π$ has an explicit stationary law and exact convergence rate $c_w^t$. The elitist chain has a geometric hitting-time bound, from a non-optimal start a fixed $c_r$ needs at least $\exp(nc_r/2)$ expected evaluations to reach a unique optimum, and a coupling under changing memories gives $O(n\log n)$ and $O(n^2)$ expected generations on OneMax and LeadingOnes for every population size with redraw share of order $1/n$ and no inertia, and within a $\log n$ factor for fixed inertia. With a frozen memory, inertia cannot speed up first entry into any set from stationary positions, though it can from others. Where the three reference values agree, only $c_r$ acts; where they disagree, copy branches recombine the memories, forcing a redraw only where no active branch holds the target value. Branch logging and checkpoint replay show inertia slowed the tested OneMax and LeadingOnes runs and suggest memory-mediated gains on wider gaps. On Jump functions SSO needed 3.8--8.9 times fewer evaluations than the (1+1) evolutionary algorithm with rate $1/n$, but no consistent advantage over rate-adjusted mutation or a $(μ+1)$ genetic algorithm with uniform crossover was established. The analytical redraw rule improved six of eight benchmark--setting pairs and redundancy allocation, but was slower than $c_r = 0.1$ on Jump$_2$.

Context-Predictive Low-Rank Adaptation for Face Presentation Attack Detection

Aminu Yusuf, Shakeel Muhammad Ibrahim, Sulaimon Oyeniyi Adebayo, Muhammad Sohail Ibrahim, Muhammad Shahid Jabbar, Shujaat Khan

原文摘要

Face presentation attack detection requires representations that distinguish physical spoofing cues across changes in acquisition devices, subjects, and attack media. Large visual encoders offer transferable representations, but conventional binary fine-tuning supervises their final decisions without explicitly constraining how local facial evidence is represented under partial observation. We present CP-JEPA, a context-predictive adaptation framework that combines low-rank tuning of a pretrained CLIP image encoder with a joint-embedding predictive objective. A student predicts complete-image teacher features at masked spatial locations, while unmasked classification, masked classification, and prediction consistency retain the connection to the live/spoof task. An exponential-moving-average teacher supplies evolving latent targets. The auxiliary components are used only during training; inference requires only the LoRA-adapted CLIP visual encoder and binary classifier. {We evaluate CP-JEPA under single-source and multi-source OCIM transfer, additional CelebA-Spoof training, transfer to CelebA-Spoof, two-source training, and unseen-attack evaluation on SiW-Mv2.} On the standard OCIM benchmark, CP-JEPA achieves 3.74\% mean HTER and 98.73\% mean AUC. {Single-source evaluation achieves 11.36\% mean HTER across twelve source--target combinations.} With CelebA-Spoof added to the three OCIM training sources, CP-JEPA reduces mean HTER from 3.45\% to 2.35\% and increases mean AUC from 98.68\% to 99.32\%. On SiW-Mv2, it achieves 3.36\% mean HTER across the held-out attack categories. Controlled loss ablations examine the contributions of latent prediction, masked classification, and prediction consistency. The results show that context-predictive adaptation can improve cross-dataset PAD performance, although the gains vary with the training sources and evaluation setting.

PISim: A Unified Photonic Inference Simulator for Hardware-Aware Cross-Layer Design-Space Exploration

Andreas Falkenberg

原文摘要

Photonic neural accelerators offer ultra-low latency linear algebra, yet their usable numerical precision, sustainable throughput, and application accuracy remain tightly bounded by surrounding electro-optical interfaces and physical non-idealities. Pre-fabrication design-space exploration (DSE) requires a cross-layer electronic design automation (EDA) framework capable of evaluating disparate optical topologies under identical neural workloads and physical assumptions. We present \textbf{PISim}, a unified Photonic Inference Simulator that couples pretrained deep neural network execution with physics-based models of six accelerator architecture families, six electro-optic modulator technologies, four optical source organizations, and direct or coherent readout schemes. PISim embeds stage-resolved impairment operators---covering control and analog-to-digital quantization, finite extinction ratio, shot noise, correlated relative-intensity noise (RIN), thermal drift, propagation loss, and channel crosstalk---alongside an analytical cycle-level interface timing model to expose electronic-optical bottlenecks. Using simulated MNIST multilayer perceptron (MLP) benchmarks, we demonstrate how PISim identifies optimal precision operating points under multi-impairment stress (peaking at 6 bits for Mach--Zehnder and microring modulators), quantifies a 52.5 percentage-point accuracy gap between VCSEL-array and parallel-fanout laser architectures arising, under the modeled conditions, from power partitioning and correlated source noise, and models interface-limited throughput scaling across emitter-array widths from 32 to 128 channels. This comprehensive framework establishes an extensible, reproducible foundation for accuracy-constrained Pareto optimization prior to photonic tape-out.

UniSpark: Exploring Hybrid Attention for Multimodal Understanding and Generation

Jiancheng Pan, Yuzheng Liu, Hengyuan Cao, Qiyuan Zhang, Yangyan Li, Biao Gong, Zheng Zhang, Ka Long Cheng 等 10 位作者

原文摘要

We present UniSpark-9B, a unified multimodal model that investigates hybrid attention for visual understanding and generation. Built on a Mixture-of-Transformer-Experts backbone with approximately 9B parameters in each branch, UniSpark combines full attention for explicit token interactions with GatedDeltaNet linear attention for compact context propagation. Autoregressive text prediction and visual flow matching jointly support visual question answering, text-to-image generation, instruction-guided editing, and interleaved text-image prediction. In interleaved generation, noisy visual targets are isolated from subsequent predictions, while clean visual representations provide context for later outputs. A blockwise protocol enforces this distinction through attention masks in full-attention layers and recurrent-state retention rules in linear-attention layers. The selected training sources contain 159.7M generation samples, 213.4M understanding samples, and 624.8K interleaved sequences. A four-stage curriculum jointly trains multimodal understanding and visual generation, refining answer accuracy and instruction following while extending image synthesis to 2K. UniSpark scores 2470.3 on MME-S and 0.83 on GenEval. Qualitative examples further illustrate its capabilities in interleaved image generation, video synthesis, and video editing. Together, these results demonstrate that hybrid attention provides an effective backbone for unified multimodal understanding and generation.

PiLLVD: A Real-World Low-Light Video Dataset for Dynamic Scenes Captured with Off-the-Shelf Cameras

Yaser Abu Awwad, Paul L. Rosin, Oktay Karakuş

原文摘要

Low-light image and video enhancement has received increasing attention in recent years. However, most existing enhancement methods are developed and evaluated on still images, while progress in low-light video enhancement remains limited by the lack of real-world paired video datasets. Acquiring paired low-light and normal-light video sequences is challenging because it requires spatially and temporally aligned captures while avoiding motion blur, exposure mismatch, and correspondence errors in dynamic scenes. To address this gap, we introduce PiLLVD, the Pi-based Low-Light Video Dataset, a paired low-light video dataset captured using an accessible Raspberry Pi-based multi-camera system with off-the-shelf cameras. PiLLVD provides paired low-light and aligned normal-light reference sequences for dynamic indoor and outdoor scenes, including diverse human and object motion under varying illumination conditions. Unlike existing datasets that are often image-based, static, synthetic, or limited to simple motion patterns, PiLLVD focuses on motion-rich scenes where frame-to-frame stability and motion-related artefacts are important for evaluation. In addition to presenting the dataset and acquisition pipeline, we benchmark representative pre-trained low-light video enhancement methods on PiLLVD under a zero-shot setting. The results show that existing methods do not generalise uniformly across the proposed sequences, highlighting the challenges posed by the proposed dataset and its value for both benchmarking existing methods and supporting the development of future low-light video enhancement algorithms.

SignRot: LLM Quantization with Massive Outlier-Aware Sign-Adjusted Rotation

Jaehun Gim, Jaewoo Kim, Gyuwan Kim, Seo Yeon Park

原文摘要

While quantization compresses LLMs and accelerates inference, outlier activations impede efficient low-bit representation. In particular, massive outliers cause substantial performance degradation. Although rotation-based methods that rely on randomized Hadamard transforms for online inference aim to mitigate this, they can produce fragmented distributions with empty bins when a massive outlier dominates a token's activation. This fragmentation severely undermines uniform quantization performance. Moreover, massive outliers concentrate in the down-projection input, where the preceding nonlinearity requires the rotation to be applied at inference time. This constraint prevents training-based approaches such as SpinQuant from learning the online rotation at this position, as a learned dense matrix cannot use the Fast Walsh-Hadamard Transform and would require a full matrix multiplication during inference. To address this, we propose SignRot (Sign-adjusted Rotation), which identifies massive outlier channels and constructs a sign adjustment vector that unifies the signs of the corresponding Hadamard row, collapsing the bimodal distribution into a unimodal profile amenable to quantization. Since the aligned outlier shifts the activation mean away from zero, we pair SignRot with asymmetric activation quantization, whose zero-point absorbs this shift. As a lightweight, drop-in improvement compatible with any Hadamard-based quantization method, SignRot requires only a single calibration forward pass and adds only element-wise sign flips at inference, without an additional matrix multiplication. Applying SignRot to QuaRot achieves a WikiText2 perplexity of 5.88 and an average zero-shot reasoning accuracy of 72.73, surpassing SpinQuant on the LLaMA3-70B model. Code is available at https://github.com/HYU-ARK-Lab/SignRot.

Recalibrating a Typed-Decision Model in an Afternoon: A Hands-On Recipe for Laya's Confidence Scores

Mohammed Nayeem Khan, Aliyas Ahmad Misri

原文摘要

A typed-decision model such as Laya reads a text and a list of options that the caller defines, for example ticket categories, and returns a probability for each option. Code around it compares the top probability with a threshold to answer, abstain or escalate to a person. Earlier work reports, for a Turkish model, that temperature scaling can raise held-out calibration error (ECE). This tutorial gives a five-step recipe (measure, diagnose, fit, validate, deploy) in 130 lines of numpy with standard methods, none new. On 1,065 synthetic, LLM-labelled items the released Laya checkpoint has a pooled ECE of 0.073 but a bucket-macro ECE of 0.143 (0.127-0.184), the mean over buckets (questions grouped by type and option count): the 12-option bucket is over-confident by +0.22, the three-to-five-option bucket under-confident by 0.05, and they cancel. One global temperature makes pooled ECE worse (0.173); a cross-fitted temperature per bucket brings macro-ECE to 0.073 (0.078 over 10 fold assignments) and reaches 0.089 with 10 labelled items per bucket, but holding out one of seven evaluation sets gives 0.099. After the refit, a gate aimed at 10% error answers 46.3% of items (10.5% wrong) against 6.9% on the published confidences, but one cut-off per bucket on the published confidences answers 45.4%, so most of the gain comes from separating buckets. Confidence-only maps (Platt, histogram, isotonic) need 20 or more labelled items per bucket to approach the temperature; with 320 per bucket the lowest macro-ECE belongs to Platt. In these files the retrained checkpoints store no per-bucket table and the stored 12-option value 0.1006 is clamped to 0.5 at runtime; the refit helps 31 of 33 checkpoints on random folds and 21 with a set held out. Fit and test share one generator and LLM labels, so these are findings about these checkpoints and this data.

How many LLM-labelled rows does a decision encoder need, and how wrong can the labels be?

Mohammed Nayeem Khan, Aliyas Ahmad Misri

原文摘要

A decision encoder such as Laya reads a question with named options (for example, which department should handle a ticket) and a text, and picks an option. It reads both in one forward pass and returns a probability for every option, without writing any text. We ask how many LLM-written training rows such an encoder needs and how wrong those labels may be. We ran 19 fine-tunes of Laya (ModernBERT-large) on nested subsets of a 2,818-row pool and scored them on 1,065 held-out items from the same generator, so every test item is in-distribution and no out-of-family test was run. Accuracy rises from 69.4% before fine-tuning to 74.3% with 5% of the rows, 84.8% with 50% and 86.9% with all rows. The curve flattens, and a saturating fit with bootstrap intervals cannot pin down its plateau. Seed spread at 20% of the rows (s.d. 1.6 points) exceeds some of the steps between sizes. Giving small subsets as many updates as the full pool gains 1.9 points at 5% and 1.9 points at 20% of the rows (one seed; p=0.14 and 0.13), and at 20% that is below the 2.3-point difference between two ordinary seeds. A single run with 10% symmetric label noise shows no detectable change (-0.2 points, 95% interval -1.7 to +1.4); 20% costs 3.4 points and 40% costs 8.7 points. Confusable-pair noise at 20% costs 7.4 points, and under noise the model moves from over-confident to under-confident. An independent labeller disagrees with the gold labels on 3.5% of held-out items, and about half of its choice disagreements (16 of 33, leaving each item out of the partner map) name the partner option that the confusable-pair noise uses. Laya is +0.9 points ahead of a TF-IDF classifier trained on the same rows at full size (the interval includes zero) and +21.1 points ahead at 5% of the rows. Everything is synthetic, LLM-labelled and from one backbone, one trainer and mostly one seed.

How to Defeat a Mafia (of Size 1)

Michael Brand

原文摘要

The game "Mafia'' is a social deduction game where $n$ players attempt to uncover a covert coalition of $m$ players among the $n$. Typically, $d=1$ of the non-coalition players are labelled ``Detective'' and have special abilities. Most game-theoretic analysis considers, however, only the variant without a Detective. Once the Detective role is introduced, extremely complex strategies can be employed, for which reason only upper and lower bounds for winning have been established, namely by considering specific strategies. We analyse the case $m=d=1$, providing a first example where an explicit, provably-optimal strategy can be described beyond $d=0$.

ReA-Bench: Benchmarking Responsible Agent Auditing

Zipeng Ye, Shenyu Dai, Yong Xie, Kun Wang, Jiyang Guan, Zhikai Chen, Jiaqi Weng, Jialing Tao 等 9 位作者

原文摘要

As agents perform tasks autonomously in local and cloud environments, auditing their execution trajectories can help service providers identify risks and improve agent harnesses and foundation models. Our analysis of production and red-team trajectories shows that some risks are repeatedly missed across auditing configurations. Overall recall obscures which risks are missed and whether higher recall comes with more false positives on legitimate behavior. Existing benchmarks offer limited insight into these failures. Generated trajectories can contain inconsistent tool calls and responses, conspicuous risky actions, or repetitive attack patterns. Grouping results by risk type also makes it difficult to tell whether auditors overlooked evidence, accepted an unsupported conclusion, or lacked information needed to make a judgment. We introduce ReA-Bench, a diagnostic benchmark for auditing responsible agent behavior. It organizes auditing challenges into six tiers: internal safety knowledge, contradictions within trajectories, evidence retrieval in long contexts, verification of sources and reasoning, indirect steering, and missing information. It includes challenging benign cases in which actions resemble risky ones but are consistent with the task and its authorization. It also provides paired trajectory versions to test whether auditors detect the same risks more reliably when the trajectory is shortened or missing information is supplied. Most samples are drawn from real production trajectories, with scenarios manually selected and adapted to preserve realistic tasks and risks that could plausibly arise during execution.

Time and Space: A Dual-Axis, Evidence-Grounded Context Substrate for Personal Agents

Haitao Cheng, Jerry Hu, Longdong Mao, Dong Huang, Dongming Li, Lijuan Zhang, Mengting Zhang

原文摘要

We argue that a binding constraint for personal agents is not model capacity but the form in which context is represented: the agent does not know which entity a phrase denotes, when a fact held, or which source record licenses a claim. We call the missing representation spatio-temporal context (STC) and define it on two axes. The temporal axis carries event time, validity intervals and ingestion time. The spatial axis is a relational space in which entities are points, typed relations are edges, and distance is semantic rather than geographic; physical places are one entity type among many. Every relation is anchored to immutable source records, and every answer must be closed over those records. We formalise the substrate and six invariants, a context operator that composes temporal intersection with relational expansion, an ambiguity-preserving resolution state machine, a conflict detector that converts mutually exclusive facts into user adjudication rather than silent overwrite, and a four-regime consumption taxonomy spanning query, insight, triage and proactive reminder. We describe a local-first prototype of the retrieval layer built on SQLite with on-device embeddings and hybrid lexical-dense recall, report measurements from a deployed store of 341 documents, 340,079 chunks and 190,271 embedded vectors, and specify, but do not yet implement, the analytic layer on which the framework depends. We close with an evaluation protocol with per-invariant metrics for evidence coverage, temporal correctness, conflict precision and interruption cost. The proposal targets the representation of context rather than the volume of it.

Nguyen Minh Thang

原文摘要

A hosted score in the Gemma 4 Developer Agent competition is one noisy number, so development needs a local evaluator that is fast, safe for agent-written code, and matching the hosted scorer's prompts. drydock-eval evaluates a small coding agent (Gemma 4 E4B) at about 250 runs per hour on one RTX 5090. Contain runs each job in a fresh container without network and passed 200 scripted escape tests; conform provides eight checks that compare a local stack's requests with the scorer's configuration, down to rendered tokens; compare provides paired statistics that respect repository clusters. AI agents built and attacked the kit; a human owner approved machine use and release. This extended version repeats the short paper and adds the full record of the experiments made with and around the kit: 9,660 rows of agent runs, 2,494 grading controls and 72 serving measurements, all released. On four L4 GPUs the 31B model decodes 38.1 tokens per second in one stream and E4B 105.8. Six configurations of a 31B agent solved between 37 and 44 of 70 development tasks, and no pairwise difference was detected. A pre-registered five-arm experiment (231 tasks, 4,620 jobs) measured four prompt divergences: no E4B solve-rate change was detected (largest estimate -2.1 points, 95% interval -4.4 to +0.4). Three changes of the E4B agent led their screens by +1.0 to +6.2 points; each was then tested once on new tasks under a frozen pass rule, and none was confirmed (gains -0.35, -0.39 and +4.10 points). The unchanged baseline, run again on the same 128 tasks, moved by 1.17 points, and 65% of these tasks were solved in none of eight runs. Prompts and agent bundles are withheld; every run-level result is public.

Mean--Variance Portfolio Selection by Continuous-Time Reinforcement Learning: Algorithms, Regret Analysis, and Empirical Study

Yilie Huang, Yanwei Jia, Xun Yu Zhou

原文摘要

We study continuous-time mean--variance portfolio selection in markets where stock prices are diffusion processes driven by observable factors that are also diffusion processes, yet the coefficients of these processes are unknown. Based on the recently developed reinforcement learning (RL) theory for diffusion processes, we present a general data-driven RL approach that learns the pre-committed investment strategy directly without attempting to learn or estimate the market coefficients. For multi-stock Black--Scholes markets without factors, we further devise an algorithm and prove its performance guarantee by deriving a sublinear regret bound in terms of the Sharpe ratio. We then carry out an extensive empirical study implementing this algorithm to compare its performance and trading characteristics, evaluated under a host of common metrics, with a large number of widely employed portfolio allocation strategies on S\&P 500 constituents. The results demonstrate that the proposed continuous-time RL strategy is consistently among the best, especially in a volatile bear market, and decisively outperforms the model-based continuous-time counterparts by significant margins.

TAPES: Terminal Adjoint-Propagated Error Scheduling for Financial Diffusion Samplers

Yilie Huang

原文摘要

Financial diffusion samplers are often reused with a small number of function evaluations (NFE) inside scenario and risk pipelines, where numerical time-grid error can distort terminal quantities such as covariances, tails, and drawdown proxies. We study offline grid construction for a frozen probability-flow ODE: the score network, conditioning, Euler solver, report normalization, and deployment NFE remain fixed. TAPES (Terminal Adjoint-Propagated Error Scheduling) estimates signed local defects by Richardson comparisons, transports them through the remaining discrete flow and a terminal-report adjoint, and optimizes the squared norm of their sum before a capped direct refinement. We show that this transported signed sum is the first-order terminal-report error and quantify, under an aligned-defect model, the inefficiency of diagonal criteria. Across six budgets on a regime-switching simulation and chronologically held-out Mag7 contexts, TAPES gives the lowest design- and audit-report errors in all 24 dataset--budget--report rows within the reported five-pipeline panel. Cross-budget mean relative audit-error reductions are about 10--11% on Regime-SV and about 1% on Mag7, with Bonferroni intervals excluding zero; all displayed winners persist under a doubled-resolution reference, and a small Regime-SV Heun probe preserves the TAPES-first audit ordering. TAPES changes only the offline schedule and retains the prescribed deployment NFE; claims concern numerical fidelity to frozen generators.

Privacy-Preserving Range Counting over Local Graph Statistics

Gengda Zhao, Yizhang He, Dong Wen, Kai Wang, Ruijia Wu, Jianwei Wang

原文摘要

Range counting over vertex statistics supports contact analysis, community profiling, and reputation screening. However, releasing exact range counts can disclose sensitive edges to an adversary with background knowledge. We study this problem under edge local differential privacy (edge LDP), where each vertex randomizes its report before sending it to an untrusted curator. We develop a layered framework that connects statistic estimation, direct range estimation, and adaptive estimator selection. Statistic-estimation methods provide complementary scalar estimators with explicit loss analyses, while indicator-estimation methods privatize range indicators directly. We next propose Bounded Conditional Range Inversion (BCRI), which derives unbiased range estimates from reusable bounded geometric reports through an explicit local inverse. Its boundary-conditioned estimator achieves no larger expected L2 loss than the unbounded inverse, and histogram preprocessing supports constant-time queries. The same reports also provide a nonnegative, unbiased variance estimate for every answer. At the center of the framework, Adaptive Estimator Selection (AES) privately predicts bias, variance, and covariance to combine BCRI with a conditional estimator from the same transcript. Experiments on diverse real-world graph tasks demonstrate the accuracy, efficiency, and workload scalability of the proposed framework.

One Model, Two Precisions: Does Disagreement Between Quantized Copies Tell You When a Small Model Is Wrong?

Mohammed Nayeem Khan, Allan Kevin T

原文摘要

Local language models often exist at several precisions, and quantization is known to change individual answers. This study asks whether the disagreement between two precisions of the same weights, an 8-bit copy that answers and a lower-precision copy that reads the same prompt, works as a per-question error score for abstention, escalation and re-asking. The cost is one extra forward pass over fewer bytes, with no sampling and no training. We simulate round-to-nearest quantization with per-group scales (3 to 6 bits, groups of 32 to 256) on Qwen3-0.6B and Qwen3-1.7B and score 8,398 multiple-choice questions from ARC-Easy, ARC-Challenge, MMLU and HellaSwag subsets. Error detection is measured by AUROC, risk-coverage curves and ECE on a held-out half, with paired bootstrap intervals over questions. For Qwen3-0.6B, the entropy of the 8-bit answer reaches AUROC 0.682; the best disagreement score, selected on a development half, reaches 0.684 (+0.001 [-0.009, +0.011]), and combining it with the confidence features adds +0.009 [+0.002, +0.015], mostly on ARC. On Qwen3-1.7B the selected score is -0.001 [-0.009, +0.006] from entropy and the combination +0.003 [-0.001, +0.006] on the test half. Gaussian weight noise at matched error energy is about as informative as rounding (0.6B only), so we find no evidence that the signal is specific to quantization, and shuffling the features within task and entropy cells removes the gain. One extra 8-bit pass that shifts the option order does better (+0.049 [+0.031, +0.067] over entropy) at about a third more weight traffic; routing to a larger model on free entropy beats both extra-pass scores at equal total traffic. After logistic recalibration the 0.6B confidences are calibrated within a few points of ECE. A deployment recipe and the cases where the method does not help are given.

Where in the Input Does a One-Pass Decision Encoder Look?

Mohammed Nayeem Khan, Allan Kevin T

原文摘要

Laya is a small model that answers a multiple-choice question about a text in one pass: the question, the options (each with a name and a description) and the text form one sequence of at most 512 tokens, the window, in the English release. A longer text is silently cut at the end, and we measure what that costs. Test documents place a held-out row's text, the evidence, at a chosen token offset among distractor text; 177 items, five tasks, three checkpoints (released, short-row fine-tune, long-document fine-tune), four window sizes and 93,275 scored requests. When the evidence lies beyond the window, accuracy falls to 26.4% for the released checkpoint (27.2% for both fine-tunes), near the 27.0% of guessing and below the 35.6% of always giving the commonest label. Confidence gives no warning (AUROC 0.50 to 0.55 for telling cut from read requests; 0.5 = chance), and the runtime's truncation flag also fires on requests whose evidence was visible. The released checkpoint reads visible evidence badly once text precedes it: 38.5% pooled against 60% when the evidence comes first, so a larger window alone gains +6.2 points. Fine-tuning on long documents adds +27.6 points on visible evidence over the short-row fine-tune (95% interval +22.3 to +33.1) and nothing on cut evidence. That is an in-family result: training rows and test documents share generator and question types, and the main filler is of the training kind. With encyclopedic filler never seen in training the gain is +13.2 (+9.9 to +16.6), with rows of other tasks as filler -2.0. Among training-free rearrangements a 312-token window scan helps most (+11.9 points over the default for the released checkpoint) at six to eleven forward passes. Documents are synthetic, labels are LLM-made and one backbone is studied, so these diagnose this model, not long documents in general.

EST: Towards Efficient Scaling Laws in Click-Through Rate Prediction via Unified Modeling

Mingyang Liu, Yong Bai, Zhangming Chan, Sishuo Chen, Xiang-Rong Sheng, Han Zhu, Jian Xu, Xinyang Chen

原文摘要

Efficiently scaling industrial Click-Through Rate (CTR) prediction has recently attracted significant research attention. Existing approaches typically employ early aggregation of user behaviors to maintain efficiency. However, such non-unified or partially unified modeling creates an information bottleneck by discarding fine-grained, token-level signals essential for unlocking scaling gains. In this work, we revisit the fundamental distinctions between CTR prediction and Large Language Models (LLMs), identifying two critical properties: the asymmetry in information density between behavioral and non-behavioral features, and the modality-specific priors of content-rich signals. Accordingly, we propose the Efficiently Scalable Transformer (EST), which achieves fully unified modeling by processing all raw inputs in a single sequence without lossy aggregation. EST integrates two modules: Lightweight Cross-Attention (LCA), which prunes redundant self-interactions to focus on high-impact cross-feature dependencies, and Content Sparse Attention (CSA), which utilizes content similarity to dynamically select high-signal behaviors. Extensive experiments show that EST exhibits a stable and efficient power-law scaling relationship, enabling predictable performance gains with model scale. Deployed on Taobao's display advertising platform, EST significantly outperforms production baselines, delivering a 3.27\% RPM (Revenue Per Mile) increase and a 1.22\% CTR lift, establishing a practical pathway for scalable industrial CTR prediction models.

RGB-D SLAM on the Edge: Benchmarking and Profiling RTAB-Map and ORB-SLAM3 on the Raspberry Pi 5

Himanshu Patil, Jaideep Joshi, Rohit Saluja, Ganesh Ramakrishnan

原文摘要

Micro aerial vehicles that operate without GPS often run SLAM on ARM-based edge boards, yet there is little published data on how standard RGB-D SLAM systems behave on such hardware. We benchmark RTAB-Map and ORB-SLAM3 on the Raspberry Pi 5 using six TUM RGB-D sequences at three image resolutions, recording tracking coverage, trajectory error, time per frame, memory, CPU load and temperature for every run, and we profile both systems at the stage and function level. RTAB-Map was configured to process and keep every frame, so its back end runs on every frame rather than at its default rate of 1 Hz. On the sequences that every configuration tracked, its front end takes 38-74 ms per frame and its full pipeline 150-462 ms, compared with 13-45 ms and 26-62 ms for ORB-SLAM3. RTAB-Map's main cost is optimizing a pose graph that keeps growing, because its working memory is unbounded by default; ORB-SLAM3's local bundle adjustment costs about as much as its tracking but runs in a parallel thread. At quarter resolution, both systems lose tracking on most sequences, and runs that lose tracking finish sooner and report lower error on the poses they keep, so time and accuracy must be read alongside coverage. Timing is repeatable to within 1-5%, but trajectory error varies by up to 27% between identical runs, so the accuracy differences between the two systems are inconclusive. No thermal throttling occurred.

Accuracy Is Not Welfare: Evaluating AI Buyers under Strategic Price Complexity in a Synthetic Duopoly

Ning Jiaqu

原文摘要

AI buying agents may alter sellers' incentives as well as consumers' decisions. In a synthetic duopoly, we evaluate price-comparison pipelines on a fixed menu and in empirical correlated-equilibrium games. Calculator assistance selects an optimal offer 84.00% of the time, versus 68.57% under verified-total disclosure, yet disclosure has a 20.14-unit higher consumer-worst equilibrium surplus. A frozen-strategy holdout comparison favors disclosure, while re-solving equilibria under scenario resampling produces a range spanning zero. These model-based results show why accuracy, loss severity, seller incentives, and welfare incidence require separate measurement.

How Should Planning Agents ReSHAPE Their Search Space?

Yilin Zhang, Xinran Zhao, Tong Chen, Ziming Yuan, Tongshuang Wu

原文摘要

Planning agents and benchmarks treat a user's initial specification as fixed. Yet the requests users write exclude plans they would gladly take, since they rarely discover the possible trade-offs they would accept until seeing the options. Agents already revise requests through interaction, but whether this helps planning is unknown. We formalize this step as the ReSHAPE task, which judges a revision by whether its search space matches the acceptable plans and a planner finds one there. Using ReSHAPE Planter, which builds instances from planning benchmarks with a human-validated simulated user, we analyze 5,800 agent-revised specifications in travel and shopping. We find that reshaping matters: one correct trade-off makes the same planner reach an acceptable plan up to 4.6x as often, and search space quality predicts what the planner finds. Current agents, however, admit at most 32% of the acceptable plans, where that trade-off alone admits over 52%, because they ask about preferences instead of showing plans; in travel, showing plans raises F1 by 9.7 points over asking, with two model families. Planning agents should thus treat a request as a hypothesis to test against the user's reactions to concrete plans to recognize user trade-offs.
