    Language-Based Digital Twins for Elderly Cognitive Assistance

    Mohammad Mehdi Hosseini, Mohammad H. Mahoor, Hiroko H. Dodge

    cs.AI

    Digital twins have emerged as a promising paradigm for personalized healthcare, enabling modeling of individual behavior and health trajectories. In cognitive health, early detection of Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) remains challenging, where language and conversational patterns serve as non-invasive biomarkers. In this work, we propose a language-based digital twin framework that leverages large language models (LLMs) to mimic the...

    When Does Combining Language Models Help? A Co-Failure Ceiling on Routing, Voting, and Mixture-of-Agents Across 67 Frontier Models

    Josef Chen

    cs.AI · cs.LG

    Multi-model LLM systems such as routing, voting, cascades, fusion, and mixture-of-agents are used to beat single-model accuracy. We show that their gain is capped by a quantity the field rarely reports. For any policy whose output is one member model answer, accuracy cannot exceed one minus beta, where beta is the rate at which every model is wrong on the same query. In contrast, the usual diagnostic, average pairwise error correlation rho,...

    Prompt Injection in Automated Résumé Screening with Large Language Models: Single and Multi-Injection Settings

    Preet Baxi, Jiannan Xu, Jane Yi Jiang, Stefanus Jasin

    cs.AI

    Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly used to screen and rank job applicants, creating incentives for candidates to strategically manipulate algorithmic hiring systems. We study prompt injection in automated résumé screening, defined as subtle self-promotional text that introduces no new qualifications but is designed to influence LLM evaluations. Using controlled experiments, we show that prompt injection reliably improves applicant...

    Simulation-based inference for rapid Bayesian parameter estimation in epidemiological models: a comparison with MCMC

    Alina Bazarova, Johann Fredrik Jadebeck, Henrik Zunker, Carolina J. Klett-Tammen, Torben Heinsohn, Wolfgang...

    cs.AI

    Mechanistic epidemiological models are widely used to support infectious disease forecasting and public-health decision making. Bayesian calibration of such models is commonly performed using Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC), which can become computationally expensive for high-dimensional nonlinear systems and repeated near-real-time analyses. Here, we investigate simulation-based inference (SBI) using neural posterior estimation as a scalable...

    EO-WM: A Physically Informed World Model for Probabilistic Earth Observation Forecasting

    Junwei Luo, Shuai Yuan, Zhenya Yang, Yansheng Li, Zhe Liu, Hengshuang Zhao

    cs.AI · cs.CV

    Earth Observation (EO) forecasting aims to predict future Earth surface dynamics from satellite observations under changing meteorological conditions. In this paper, we view this task as a partially observed, weather-driven world modeling problem, in which weather acts as a conditioning signal, while forecasting remains uncertain due to sparse observations and unobserved land-surface states. However, existing methods do not fully capture this...

    Ask, Don't Judge: Binary Questions for Interpretable LLM Evaluation and Self-Improvement

    Sangwoo Cho, Kushal Chawla, Pengshan Cai, Zefang Liu, Chenyang Zhu, Shi-Xiong Zhang, Sambit Sahu

    cs.AI · cs.CL

    Evaluating LLM outputs remains a major bottleneck in NLP: human evaluation is expensive and slow, lexical metrics correlate poorly with human judgments on open-ended generation, and holistic LLM judges often produce opaque scores that are hard to debug. We propose BINEVAL, a framework that decomposes evaluation criteria into atomic binary questions and aggregates the resulting verdicts into interpretable, multi-dimensional scores. Given a...

    Vulnerability of Natural Language Classifiers to Evolutionary Generated Adversarial Text

    Manjinder Singh, Alexander E. I. Brownlee, Mohamed Elawady

    cs.AI

    Deep learning models have achieved impressive performance across various fields but remain vulnerable to adversarial inputs, particularly in NLP, where such attacks can have significant real-world consequences. Adversarial attacks often involve small, semantically similar token replacements to fool NLP models, and recent methods have become more precise by targeting specific vulnerable words, often by exploiting some level of access to the...

    A Process Harness for Uplifting Legacy Workflows to Agentic BPM: Design and Realization in CUGA FLO

    Fabiana Fournier, Lior Limonad

    cs.AI

    We introduce the process harness, a new mechanism for uplifting legacy workflows into Agentic Business Process Management (Agentic BPM) without replacing the underlying workflow engine. A process harness places a policy-governed agentic layer around a deterministic workflow engine, intercepting designated control points to contribute reasoning, adaptation, and oversight while the engine retains structural authority over the process. To define...

    TOPS: First-Principles Visual Token Pruning via Constructing Token Optimal Preservation Sets for Efficient MLLM Inference

    Tinghao Wang, Yichen Guo, Rui Huang, Zheng Lu, Qizhe Zhang, Chenxi Li, Yuan Zhang, Jiajun Cao, Zhirong Shen, Yaosong...

    cs.AI

    Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have achieved strong multimodal reasoning capabilities, but their efficiency is limited by the large number of visual tokens, which introduces substantial computational overhead. Visual token pruning offers a natural solution, yet existing methods are imperfect: attention-based criteria tend to retain redundant tokens, while diversity-based criteria are often agnostic to user instructions. Even methods...

    OpenRCA 2.0: From Outcome Labels to Causal Process Supervision

    Aoyang Fang, Yifan Yang, Jin'ao Shang, Qisheng Lu, Junjielung Xu, Rui Wang, Songhan Zhang, Yuzhong Zhang, Boxi Yu, Pinjia He

    cs.AI

    Root cause analysis (RCA) poses a holistic test of LLM agentic capabilities, such as long-context understanding, multi-step reasoning, and tool use. However, existing datasets suffer from a fundamental gap: they label only the root cause, not the propagation path connecting it to the observed symptom, which largely simplifies the task to naive pattern matching. To support rigorous evaluation, we introduce PAVE, a step-wise labeling protocol...

    Joint Learning of Experiential Rules and Policies for Large Language Model Agents

    Shicheng Ye, Chao Yu

    cs.AI

    For LLM agents in multi-step interactive environments, a key challenge is to make effective use of accumulated interaction experience. Existing work has typically separated two uses of such experience: keeping it outside the model as natural-language rules for later prompting, or using trajectories and feedback to update the model parameters. The former is easy to interpret but can fall out of sync with the evolving policy; the latter...

    How to evaluate clustering with ground truth?

    Pasi Fränti

    cs.AI

    External indexes can be used for cluster evaluation when ground truth is available. We review the most common external validity indexes focusing on set-matching-based measures. We recommend centroid index (CI), because it is an intuitive cluster-level measure with an explainable result. If we need a more fine-tuned, point-level measure, there are more choices. Pair-set index (PSI) provides a normalized score which is not biased by cluster...

    Semantic Early-Stopping for Iterative LLM Agent Loops

    Sahil Shrivastava

    cs.AI · cs.LG · cs.MA

    Multi-agent large language model (LLM) loops, for example a Writer that drafts and a Critic that revises, are almost always terminated by a fixed iteration cap (max_iterations). This is a syntactic kill-switch: it is blind to whether the answer is still improving, so it over-spends tokens on easy inputs and truncates hard ones. We study semantic early-stopping: the loop halts when consecutive draft embeddings stop changing in meaning (cosine...

    cs.AI · cs.CL · cs.CV

    Does intelligence require the ability to reason about phenomena beyond direct experience? It is natural to suspect that some complex thought cannot be captured through language alone. However, of particular concern to this work, is whether visualising counterfactual events can complement language as a mechanism for complex thought. We ask whether LLMs can be trained to utilise such visualisation mechanisms, in a way that benefits their...

    Look-Before-Move: Narrative-Grounded World Visual Attention in Dynamic 3D Story Worlds

    Jiaming Bian, Bingliang Li, Yuehao Wu, Pichao Wang, Zhi Wang, Hailan Ma, Huadong Mo, Zhenhong Sun

    cs.AI · cs.CV

    As embodied AI and world models increasingly operate in dynamic 3D environments, visual perception must move beyond passively interpreting given observations toward actively deciding what to observe. We study this problem through camera planning in dynamic 3D story worlds, where the camera must not only generate smooth motion, but also decide what visual evidence should be acquired before it moves. We formulate this capability as...

    Where Do CoT Training Gains Land in LLM based Agents?

    Jingyu Liu, Zhiwen Wang, Yuxin Jing, Huanyu Zhou, Yong Liu

    cs.AI

    Chain-of-thought (CoT) reasoning is widely used in language-model agents, but prior work has shown that verbalized CoT is not always faithful and may instead reflect post-hoc reasoning, which means the model already knows the answer before reasoning. We therefore ask what CoT training is actually improving: is the model getting better at changing its action through generated reasoning, or is it getting better at predicting the action directly...

    Diagnosing Task Insensitivity in Language Agents

    Jingyu Liu, Xiaopeng Wu, Kehan Chen, Chuan Yu, Yong Liu

    cs.AI

    Large language models can serve as capable long-horizon agents, but their out-of-distribution (OOD) generalization remains weak. We identify a key source of this failure as task insensitivity: when faced with similar but distinct tasks, models might apply patterns learned during training and fail to solve the task at hand. We show that models often continue with actions aligned with the original task even when the instruction is semantically...

    Learning to Recover Task Experts from a Multi-Task Merged Model

    Jinwook Jung, Taegyu Kim, Kumju Jo, Sungyong Baik

    cs.AI

    Multi-task model merging aims to consolidate several task-specific experts into a unified model, yet static merging consistently suffers from parameter interference. While dynamic merging models aim to bridge this gap, many works rely on the costly storage and loading of redundant expert components at inference. In this work, from the perspective of task expert, we view parameter interference as parameter perturbation introduced to each...

    cs.AI

    Embedding-based retrieval ranks items by their similarity to a query in a shared vector space and usually aims to return the highest-scoring items. In many production settings this is not what is wanted: given a seed set that expresses a fine-grained pattern, one needs more items that both satisfy a target attribute and stay within that pattern. We formalize this as pattern-preserving attribute retrieval. The two goals pull against each...

    TAVR-VLM: Risk-Conditioned Causal Grounding for Hallucination-Resistant Report Generation

    Zhixiang Lu, Xiwei Liu, Sifan Song, Changkai Ji, Anh Nguyen, Jionglong Su, Imran Razzak, Jinfeng Wang

    cs.AI

    Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR) planning requires meticulous multimodal reasoning. However, adapting Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) to this high-stakes domain is severely impeded by diagnostic hallucinations, where generated text lacks anatomical grounding. To address this, TAVR-VLM is introduced: a novel framework featuring Risk-Conditioned Causal Grounding Attention (R-CGA) that instantiates a model-internal ``Risk...

    cs.AI · cs.CL · cs.IR

    Recommendation algorithm iteration is moving from an artisanal, engineer-bound process toward an industrialized research loop, but this transition remains blocked by a structural execution bottleneck: the idea-to-launch cycle still depends on human engineers to generate hypotheses, modify production code, launch A/B experiments, and attribute online results. Innovation therefore scales linearly with headcount rather than compounding with...

    The Capability Frontier: Benchmarks Miss 82% of Model Performance

    Bradley Fowler, Ryan Smith, Daniel Thi Graviet, William Myers, Joshua Greaves, Narmeen Fatimah Oozeer, Antía García,...

    cs.AI

    Existing benchmarks typically report accuracy for a single model on a single run. This systematically understates real-world LLM capabilities, particularly under heterogeneous data distributions: (i) different models get different questions correct according to their specializations, and (ii) given a budget, multiple generations can be sampled and selectively retained. To quantify this gap, we introduce the Capability Frontier: a Pareto...

This means that (1)~factual knowledge in the LLM output can be updated without retraining the LLM, (2)~facts in the LLM output can be traced to the knowledge base for transparency and explainability, and (3)~smaller models can achieve the same factual accuracy as larger models. Our core idea is to train the...

    Memory Depth, Not Memory Access: Selective Parametric Consolidation for Long-Running Language Agents

    Haoliang Han

    cs.AI · cs.LG

    Long-running language agents need more than memory access. Retrieval systems can fetch past facts at query time, but they do not decide which experiences should continue to shape behavior after the working context is unloaded. We study this separate problem as memory depth: durable goal-conditioned tendencies written into a small parametric store. We introduce the loop-drift protocol, a controlled stress test in which the retrieval index...

    High-performance GPU kernels are critical for reducing the exponentially growing computational costs of large language models (LLMs), but their development heavily relies on manual tuning by domain experts. While recent advances in LLM-based approaches show promise for automating kernel generation, they still struggle to achieve both correctness and high performance. This limitation primarily arises from the lack of domain-specific...

    Scientific discovery as meta-optimization: a combinatorial optimization case study

    Yuan-Hang Zhang, Chesson Sipling, Massimiliano Di Ventra

    cs.AI · cs.LG · cs.MA

    Scientific discovery is fundamentally an optimization problem, defined by a vast "state space" of theories and experiments, and an evaluation criterion based on quality, novelty, and validity. Large language models (LLMs) have enabled automated exploration of this space, but we argue that simultaneous modification of the evaluation criteria is equally important. Here, we propose formalizing research as meta-optimization, where the...

    Do Safety Guardrails Need to Reason? LeanGuard: A Fast and Light Approach for Robust Moderation

    Dongbin Na

    cs.AI · cs.CL

    In order to screen a prompt or a response, the recent guardrail methods generate a chain-of-thought (CoT) before they issue a verdict. This design follows a common belief that step-by-step reasoning improves a decision. However, CoT also makes the guard heavy and slow, because the model must generate many tokens before it decides. This may not match how guardrails are actually deployed. A guardrail sometimes should not be heavy and slow, and...

    Long-term time series forecasting (LTSF) plays a crucial role in fields such as energy management, finance, and traffic prediction. Transformer-based models have adopted patch-based strategies to capture long-range dependencies, but accurately modeling shape similarities across patches and variables remains challenging due to scale differences. To address this, we introduce patch-mean decoupling (PMD), which separates the trend and residual...

    Radical AI Interpretability

    Daniel A. Herrmann, Benjamin A. Levinstein

    cs.AI · cs.LG

    We develop a framework for interpreting AI systems as agents, drawing on the philosophical tradition of radical interpretation and the tools of mechanistic interpretability. The core question is: given the computational facts about a system, how do we solve for its beliefs, desires, and meanings? This matters increasingly for safety. We want to be able to trust the systems we deploy, whether by understanding their goals or, more modestly, by...

    Boundary-Aware Context Grounding for A Low-Channel EEG Agent

    Zhiyuan Xu, Yueqing Dai, Junling Li, Junwen Luo

    cs.AI

    Large language models (LLMs) can make scientific software easier to use. However, a general model does not automatically know which measurements a particular sensor can support, which algorithms are implemented in the current software, or which conclusions are justified by a computed result. These distinctions are especially important for low-channel electroencephalography (EEG), where sparse spatial coverage and variable signal quality make...

    Humans Disengage, Reasoning Models Persist: Separating Difficulty Registration from Deliberation Allocation

    Han-yu Wang

    cs.AI · cs.CL

    Large reasoning models (LRMs) take longer on harder problems, just as humans do. This surface similarity hides an opposite pattern within items. When an LRM gets a problem wrong, it spends more tokens than when it gets the same problem right; humans do the reverse, spending less time on the trials they get wrong. We separate two levels of deliberation: how response time tracks difficulty across items (registration), and, with item identity...

    Clinical Harness for Governable Medical AI Skill Ecosystems

    Tianhan Xu, Lei Bao, Yongxiang Wang

    cs.AI

    Medical AI remains organized around isolated models, whereas clinical care requires accountable capabilities that persist across time. We propose clinical AI skills and the Clinical Harness: a runtime governance architecture for registering, orchestrating, guarding and monitoring AI-enabled clinical capabilities. Using osteoporosis as an exemplar, we show how knowledge-driven, data-driven and physics-enhanced skills can support lifecycle care...
