An AI data center is committed years before it draws a watt: a few discrete choices (grid or on-site gas, evaporative or dry cooling, which county to file in) fix its capital, water draw, and carbon path, and LLMs are now asked to help screen them with no test of whether they track what each commitment rules out. We in...

Vehicle Routing Problems (VRPs) are fundamental to many real-world applications. Recent advances in large language models (LLMs) have spurred progress in solving these NP-hard problems. However, most existing approaches assume that input instances are error-free, neglecting the presence of faults commonly encountered i...

Reinforcement learning from internal feedback can improve language models without ground-truth answers or external verifiers. However, confidence and correctness can diverge during training, and continued optimization of average self-certainty can increase confidence while degrading reasoning accuracy. We introduce SIF...

Consistency within a document is a crucial feature indicative of its quality. Recently, within the vast amount of information produced across various media, there exists a significant number of low-quality documents that either lack internal consistency or contain content utterly unrelated to their headlines. Such low-...
Large language model agents can improve their capabilities by evolving reusable natural-language skills from execution experience. In real-world deployments, this experience is distributed across data owners who cannot pool their raw data, which motivates federated skill evolution. The natural first design lets each cl...

High-fidelity user simulators are essential for evaluating and training agents in interactive environments. However, current LLM-based simulators struggle with reliability issues, such as goal omission and policy non-compliance. We propose ARGUS (Agenda-dRiven Goal-oriented User Simulator), a neuro-symbolic framework t...

Resting-state functional connectivity is widely used in machine learning-based classification of neuropsychiatric disorders. Quantum machine learning models have been proposed for functional connectivity data, but few studies have evaluated them under leave-site-out validation or against matched classical models. We co...

DocPilot is introduced, an agentic document framework that supports expressive orchestration and makes complex document solving learnable by small language models (SLMs) and integrates local visual inspection, code-based numerical reasoning, and cross-modal reasoning for multimodal understanding.

In controlled tests on one task per benchmark, pricing the model's cost advantages at parity more than halves a cost-blind learner's cost and meets a tight continuous-control limit the learned multiplier misses, suggesting the model's cost estimates are not the bottleneck.
Money-mule networks move criminal funds through many small transfers, each of which looks ordinary on its own. What marks an account as a mule lies outside any single transfer: in the counterparties and addresses its network shares, and in the shape of its activity over time. Production systems remain largely rule-base...
Multi-agent reasoning with large language models (LLMs) raises a central question for collective decision-making: when agents disagree, whose decision should be trusted? Resolving such disagreements is difficult because agents'decisions are susceptible to non-semantic biases such as majority pressure and response-style...

We investigate whether variation in information density across chain-of-thought (CoT) reasoning steps predicts answer correctness and can serve as a controllable inference-time target. We prompt frozen pretrained models to solve problems via CoT and measure the density of each reasoning step with two independent metric...
