    EvolveNav: Proactive Preflection and Self-Evolving Memory for Zero-Shot Object Goal Navigation

    Qi Chai, Wenhao Shen, Nanjie Yao, Yue Xia, Kaiyong Zhao, Jie Ma, Guosheng Lin, Hao Wang

    cs.AI

    Zero-Shot Object-Goal Navigation (ZS-OGN) requires embodied agents to explore and locate target objects without any prior training. To this end, recent methods leverage foundation models. But they typically rely on static priors and lack adaptation, which leads to repeated errors and costly trial and error. In this paper, we propose a self-evolving ZS-OGN framework that enables continuous test-time improvement. Specifically, we build an...

    Fixed-Point Reasoners: Stable and Adaptive Deep Looped Transformers

    Sajad Movahedi, Vera Milovanović, Shlomo Libo Feigin, Alexander Theus, Thomas Hofmann, Valentina Boeva, T....

    cs.AI

    Looped architectures provide an inductive bias toward learning step-by-step procedures for tasks that require compositional reasoning. The number of effective layers reached by looping determines the quality of the solution these models find. Like deep architectures, looped architectures are prone to a signal propagation problem induced by depth as the halting decision is postponed. In this paper, we address this signal propagation issue...

    The Stanford EDGAR Filings Dataset: Reconstructing U.S. Corporate and Financial Disclosures into Layout-Faithful and Token-Efficient Pretraining Data

    Nick Bettencourt, Xiaowei Ding, Kay Giesecke

    cs.AI

    As high-quality public web corpora become increasingly exhausted, clean long-context documents have become a scarce and expensive source of training data for large language models (LLMs). Existing long-context corpora are often proprietary and costly to acquire, synthetically generated, or concentrated in narrow domains such as programming. We introduce the Stanford EDGAR Filings Dataset (SEFD), an open reconstruction of SEC filings into...

    DRFLOW: A Deep Research Benchmark for Personalized Workflow Prediction

    Md Tawkat Islam Khondaker, Raymond Li, Muhammad Abdul-Mageed, Laks V. S. Lakshmanan, Issam H. Laradji

    cs.AI · cs.MA

    Deep research (DR) systems are increasingly used for complex information-seeking tasks, but existing works mainly focus on generating reports and summaries. In contrast, many enterprise tasks instead require an agent to identify concrete workflows which is a sequence of action-steps. For example, rather than summarizing budgeting policies, an agent should be able to determine the steps needed to answer a question such as: "How do I request...

    Learning Cardiac Electrophysiology Digital Twins Through Agentic Discovery of Hybrid Structure

    Ziqi Zhou, Yubo Ye, Sumeet Atul Vadhavka, Linwei Wang, Zhiqiang Tao

    cs.AI

    Building personalized cardiac electrophysiology (EP) digital twins requires identifying the appropriate model structure for each patient, not merely fitting parameters. Traditional methods rely on experts to manually prescribe hybrid physics-neural architectures, which requires deep domain expertise and does not transfer across patients. Recent works have applied large language models (LLMs) to generate or act as hybrid models. However,...

    cs.AI

    Language models are remarkably capable at medical question answering, in some cases surpassing the accuracy of general physicians. However, answering questions about wearable health data remains challenging and understudied, as these ubiquitous sensors produce continuous, high-dimensional, and longitudinal data, which is non-trivial to align with text-centric distributions in LLM pretraining. The diversity of sensor modalities and user...

    Memory as a Wasting Asset: Pricing Flash Endurance for Embodied Agents, and the Limits of Doing So

    Josef Liyanjun Chen

    cs.AI · cs.CY · cs.LG · cs.RO

    A robot's flash endurance is a non-renewable stock: every persisted write spends one of a few thousand program/erase cycles and never refills, yet no fielded robot memory system prices which memories are worth an erase cycle. We treat embodied memory as depreciating capital and price that stock with a single endurance shadow price $η$, which makes cost-minimizing placement across a RAM / on-board NVM / cloud hierarchy a threshold in a...

    Your AI Travel Agent Would Book You a Bullfight: An Agentic Benchmark for Implicit Animal Welfare in Frontier AI Models

    Jasmine Brazilek, Oliver Tulio, Joel Christoph, Miles Tidmarsh, Carol Kline, Arturs Kanepajs

    cs.AI · cs.CL · cs.CY

    AI agents are moving from advisors to actors, booking travel, planning menus, and running procurement on behalf of users. Existing benchmarks for AI and animal welfare evaluate model text responses to question-answer prompts, leaving open whether the welfare reasoning surfaced in those responses transfers to agentic deployment where the model must take actions with tools. We introduce TAC (Travel Agent Compassion), the first agentic benchmark...

    Knowledge Reutilization in Meta-Reinforcement Learning

    Yuan Meng, Bo Wang, Juan de los Rios Ruiz, Xiangtong Yao, Zhenshan Bing, Fuchun Sun, Alois Knoll

    cs.AI

    Meta-reinforcement learning enables fast adaptation by extracting shared structure from related tasks, but existing end-to-end methods often couple task inference with embodiment-specific control. This coupling can obscure non-parametric task semantics, reduce sample efficiency, and limit cross-agent reuse. We propose a meta-knowledge reutilization framework that learns task-level knowledge on a dynamics-simplified agent and transfers it to...

    Trust the Right Teacher: Quality-Aware Self-Distillation for GUI Grounding

    Jingyuan Huang, Zuming Huang, Yucheng Shi, Tianze Yang, Xiaoming Zhai, Wei Chu, Ninghao Liu

    cs.AI

    Graphical user interface (GUI) grounding requires vision-language models (VLMs) to identify small target elements in high-resolution screenshots and predict precise screen coordinates. On-policy self-distillation (OPSD) is a promising post-training approach for this coordinate-sensitive task, since it provides dense token-level teacher signals beyond hard coordinate labels. However, naive OPSD is not well suited to GUI grounding: OPSD...

    A Unified Framework for Context-Aware and Relation-Aware Graph Retrieval-Augmented Generation

    Haoyang Zhong, Yifei Sun, Antong Zhang, Chunping Wang, Lei Chen, Yang Yang

    cs.AI

    Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) has emerged as a paradigm for enhancing large language models (LLMs) with external knowledge, yet existing graph-based methods face a fundamental limitation: entity-centric and chunk-centric approaches operate on representations anchored to original text without true knowledge fusion. While entity-centric methods connect logically related content and chunk-centric methods preserve context, both retrieve...

    Agentic AI-based Framework for Mitigating Premature Diagnostic Handoff and Silent Hallucination in Healthcare Applications

    Divyansh Srivastava, Shreya Ghosh, Anshul Verma, Rajkumar Buyya

    cs.AI

    Recent advances in Large Language Models (LLMs) and multi-agent systems have driven the rise of Agentic AI, showing promise for medical reasoning. However, open-ended conversational agents remain prone to two critical failure modes: premature diagnostic handoff and silent clinical hallucinations that may go undetected before reaching the patient. In this work, we propose a multi-agent framework that addresses both issues by replacing...

    cs.AI · cs.CL

    As Large Language Model based agents enter autonomous scientific research, their ability to resist pseudoscience becomes increasingly important. Otherwise, such systems may rapidly generate plausible yet misleading studies that contaminate academic literature and erode trust in science.

    Ander Alvarez, Santhiya Rajan, Samuel Mugel, Román Orús

    cs.AI · cs.CL · cs.MA

    Tool-using LLM agents increasingly use the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to answer from heterogeneous evidence sources, including search, APIs, databases, clinical records, and formulary tools. Standard factuality metrics usually test whether an answer is supported by pooled evidence, missing a provenance-sensitive failure mode: a claim may be supported somewhere while being attributed to the wrong source. We call this cross-source conflation....

    LLM Consumer Behavior Theory: Foundations of a Novel Research Field

    Manon Reusens, Sofie Goethals, David Martens

    cs.AI · econ.GN

    Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly deployed as autonomous agents that make consumption decisions on behalf of users. This shift raises fundamental questions for consumer theory, which has traditionally modeled humans as the primary decision-makers. In this paper, we introduce LLM Consumer Behavior Theory, a new field of study concerned with analyzing consumer behavior in agentic markets. Drawing on classical and behavioral...

    Jinjie Shen, Wei Deng, Xian Hu, Daiguo Zhou, Jian Luan

    cs.AI

    Existing RL post-training methods for text-to-image generation usually convert the final-image reward into a single scalar advantage and apply it with the same strength to the entire generative trajectory. However, text-to-image generation naturally has temporal and spatial structure: different denoising steps are responsible for different generation stages, and the content that truly determines text alignment often appears only in part of...

    cs.AI

    Trajectory similarity is a fundamental task in analyzing mobility patterns, essential for applications such as route pattern extraction, mobility prediction, and anomaly detection. Traditional distance-based measures for computing similarity incur high computational cost, driving the adoption of lightweight learning-based approaches. Supervised methods rely on extensive labels derived from traditional distance measures and often reproduce...

    Small Initialization Matters for Large Language Models

    Liangkai Hang, Junjie Yao, Zhiyu Li, Feiyu Xiong, Hongkang Yang, Zhi-Qin John Xu

    cs.AI

    Large language models provide a tractable system for asking how intelligence itself emerges, rather than only how LLMs can be engineered. Although progress is usually attributed to scale, data and architecture, we show that parameter initialization is a gene-like determinant of training and, in particular, of model capacity. Reducing the initialization scale consistently improves pretraining, with the largest gains on reasoning-demanding...

    How Inference Compute Shapes Frontier LLM Evaluation

    Jessica McFadyen, Ole Jorgensen, Harry Coppock, Kevin Wei, Cozmin Ududec

    cs.AI

    AI evaluations are shifting toward harder tasks that benefit from longer trajectories involving tool use and iterative problem solving. As a result, performance is increasingly sensitive to the amount and allocation of compute available at test time ("inference compute"). Yet many evaluations still report performance at a single restrictive budget, meaning that low scores may reflect the evaluation setup rather than the model's underlying...

    PreAct: Computer-Using Agents that Get Faster on Repeated Tasks

    Bojie Li

    cs.AI

    Computer-using agents drive real software through the screen -- clicking and typing -- but they solve every task from scratch: asked to repeat a task, an agent re-reads the screen, re-reasons every tap, and pays the full cost again. We present PreAct, which lets such an agent get faster on tasks it has done before. The first time it succeeds, PreAct compiles the run into a small state-machine program-states that check the screen, transitions...

    DiagFlowBench: Evaluating How Language Models Handle Off-Procedure Inputs in Grounded Diagnostic Dialogue

    Guillermo Gil de Avalle, Laura Maruster, Shaina Raza, Christos Emmanouilidis

    cs.AI

    Language models increasingly serve as advisory systems in maintenance operations. To prevent hallucination, recent systems ground these models in procedural documentation to constrain them to approved steps. In practice, however, operator queries frequently stray from this path, requiring models to recognise out-of-scope inputs mid-conversation, a dynamic that current benchmarks rarely prioritise. We introduce DiagFlowBench, a dataset of 50...

    Chain-of-Thought (CoT) reasoning has extended from purely linguistic domains to multimodal scenarios; however, existing approaches often treat visual inputs as homogeneous or auxiliary signals, failing to capture the intricate and sample-specific dependencies between text and images in mathematical problem-solving. This gives rise to two core issues: first, the supervisory signals for visual content are generalized and coarse-grained, lacking...

    Structural Preservation and the Logical Expressiveness of Graph Neural Networks

    Przemysław Andrzej Wałęga, Bernardo Cuenca Grau

    cs.AI

    Bridges between graph neural networks (GNNs) and logical formalisms have been established by fixing architectural choices, such as the types of aggregation, combination, and activation functions. These choices define restricted classes of GNNs for which tight correspondences with logical formalisms can be obtained, by showing that logical formulae can be translated into equivalent GNNs and, conversely, that GNNs can be translated into...

    Web navigation requires agents to follow natural language goals, interact with web pages, and produce accurate answers. While recent advances leverage vision-language models and reinforcement learning, existing methods still suffer from single-step fragility due to reward misalignment and error propagation. To tackle the reward entanglement, we design Dynamic Dual-Policy Optimization (DDPO), which dynamically switches between a...

    cs.AI

    Although reinforcement learning (RL) has expanded the cognitive boundaries of large language models (LLMs), it often remains vulnerable to the autoregressive curse in long-horizon logical reasoning: small epistemic perturbations introduced early in generation can propagate irreversibly along the Markov decision process flow, triggering cascading failures that drive the reasoning trajectory toward collapse. To overcome this autoregressive...
