CLIFT: Conformal Self-Verification for Web Agent Training and Test-Time Scaling

Open-source web agents are now strong enough to execute realistic browser tasks, but training them with reinforcement learning still depends on weak supervision: binary task success is too sparse for credit assignment, while frontier-language-model judges are too expensive to call at every step and cannot be assumed av...

Deep Learning for Sleep Heart Rate Estimation from Accelerometers: Toward Population-Scale Cardiac Insight Without Optical Sensors

Findings of SeqSmoother reveal an accuracy-availability trade-off between learned temporal modeling and quality-gated signal processing while providing empirical support for a physics-informed approach to identifying frequency-tracking failures in accelerometer-based sleep HR estimation.

Paradee: Distilling Kokoro-82M into an 8M-Parameter Single-Voice Text-to-Speech Model

We distill Kokoro-82M, a widely used open text-to-speech model with 54 voices, into Paradee, an 8.07M-parameter model that speaks one of them. Paradee keeps Kokoro's architecture with much narrower layers, and each of its two halves is trained separately against the frozen teacher. It has 10x fewer parameters and needs...

TAPDreamer: Transferable Adversarial Patches for World Action Models

World models learn to predict how their environment will evolve, making them an important foundation for general-purpose robotic control. Yet world action models depend on camera inputs whose manipulation can corrupt the visual representations used across tasks and action policies. Existing attacks on these models opti...

Sharpen Without Search: On-Policy Distillation of Sequence-Level Power Distribution

A language model can give a correct answer more probability than any single incorrect answer and still usually sample an incorrect one, because the incorrect answers together hold more probability. The power distribution raises each complete answer's probability to a power above one and renormalizes, shifting probabili...

MC-Sparse: Deconstructing and Closing the Dense-Sparse Attention Gap in Diffusion Transformers

Sparse attention is a primary approach to reducing the latency of diffusion transformers in long-sequence generation tasks, such as video and high-resolution 3D asset generation. However, existing methods can degrade generation quality and fidelity at high sparsity levels. Through controlled oracle comparisons, we trac...

IdeaLens: Detecting AI Ideas in Long-form Writing

While modern AI detectors identify who wrote the words, emerging policies on AI use increasingly hinge on a different question: who came up with the ideas? We introduce IdeaLens, a detector that identifies whether a document's ideas came from a human or AI (idea provenance), regardless of who wrote its words. To focus...

MatrixFormer: A Foundation Model for Matrix Completion

Matrix completion underlies problems from tabular imputation to causal inference, yet existing tabular foundation models treat it as entry-by-entry prediction, repeating context for every target and discarding the matrix's two-dimensional structure. We introduce MatrixFormer, a pre-trained matrix-native transformer tha...

Balancing Memory Pathways: Analyzing and Improving Memory Utilization in Hybrid LMs

Recurrent-attention hybrid language models (LMs), which interleave attention and recurrent layers, are increasingly used to combine the efficiency of the recurrent layers with the strong performance of attention layers. Prior work suggests that attention and recurrent layers offer complementary pathways to use past inf...

BazaarBench: Delegation Safety in Decentralized C2C Marketplaces Run by LLM Agents

In decentralized consumer-to-consumer (C2C) marketplaces, people list goods, negotiate with strangers, and rate one another, so trust rests on reputation. Large language model (LLM) agents now act for users, raising risks to their money, privacy, and reputation. We introduce BazaarBench, a simulated C2C marketplace and...

BRANCH-MoE: Balance-Aware Tree Routing for Large Embedding Models

Mixture-of-experts (MoE) layers increase model capacity without a proportional increase in per-example computation. However, conventional flat routers can yield imbalanced expert utilization and treat experts as an unstructured collection, whose indices carry no topological meaning. We introduce {\bf BRANCH-MoE}, a rou...

Closing the Context Gap: Activation Alignment for Tabular In-Context Learning

Tabular foundation models perform in-context learning (ICL) by conditioning predictions on labeled training examples provided as context. Unlike traditional models that separate training from inference, these models must process all training examples in every forward pass, making each prediction expensive. Restricting...
