A Theory of Reliable Self-Evolution for Agent Harnesses

In harness self-evolution, agents modify their own prompts, code, tools, and orchestration while keeping the underlying language model fixed. Recent work has shown that agents can improve themselves in response to task failures and achieve substantial performance gains. However, gains on failed tasks do not automatical...

Interpreting and Enhancing Emotional Circuits in Large Vision-Language Models via Cross-Modal Information Flow

This work constructs a specialized dataset to demystify the emotional circuits underlying the three-stage ``Adapt-Aggregate-Execute''mechanism and discovers a functional decoupling: visual emotional cues are aggregated in middle layers via sentiment-specific attention heads, but are subsequently translated into narrati...

EvolveNet: Collaborative Harness Evolution for Agent Self-Improvement

EvolveNet is introduced, a paradigm of collaborative harness evolution that moves experience extraction to the data and introduces scope-typed, evidence-guided program aggregation, which improves the shared harness in all five settings.

DRNOISE: Benchmarking Deep Research Agents in Misleading Evidence Environments

DRNOISE, a 100-task benchmark for answer recovery under misleading evidence, is introduced, a 100-task benchmark for answer recovery under misleading evidence that requires active reconciliation of direct claims with record-level evidence.

Generated Images Are Easier to Forget: A Machine Unlearning Perspective for Synthetic Image Detection

This work establishes a new paradigm for generated image detection by recasting the detection task as a problem of machine unlearning, and introduces two detection methods: data-free detection, which prunes model parameters to induce unlearning without data access, and data-driven detection, which optimizes LVMs to unl...

A Control Theory of Predictability in Latent World Models

It is proved that the planner's suboptimality is bounded by twice this discrepancy between the predicted and the true plan-cost at the plan the planner commits to, whereas the data-averaged prediction error neither bounds nor tracks it.

TTHE: Test-Time Harness Evolution

Test-Time Harness Evolution is introduced, which treats the executable harness as the state of test-time adaptation for LLM agents as evolution over executable control programs and identifies execution-derived proxy reliability as a central challenge for robust unsupervised agent improvement.
