It is found that task capability and privacy leakage are fundamentally coupled: more capable models are systematically leakier, with no model in the evaluation able to decouple the two.

LLM program-search agents are usually judged by the score that drives their search. We study LLM-driven search over Python exercise policies for Bermudan options, an optimal stopping problem where a trusted evaluator owns the simulation and a dual upper bound~$U$. For any policy, $0 \le V^\star - L_\pi \le U - L_\pi$;...
Rapid advances in AI have opened a new era for physics, enabling unprecedented capabilities in research and discovery. However, these advances also bring challenges in verifying, trusting, and reusing the results they so rapidly produce. Formalization is a necessary part of the solution to these challenges. In this pap...

A longstanding goal for robot reinforcement learning (RL) is that robots learn from their own physical experience, as humans and animals do. A key obstacle to learning directly from physical experience, especially outside instrumented lab environments, is that the state of the world is usually unobservable to the learn...

Inverse Reinforcement Learning (IRL) is classically solved using Lagrangian optimisation, by jointly optimising a primal-dual problem with gradient descent to obtain the optimal reward function parameters and corresponding optimal policy. While this algorithmic view of IRL has been highly influential, gradient-based re...
Modern data pipelines increasingly combine human-created and human-curated data with AI-generated data for model training and evaluation. As datasets grow, they often add semantically redundant samples rather than expanding semantic coverage, which deteriorates the quality of the whole dataset. Existing diversity metri...

Looped transformers reuse one shared block across many recurrent steps, so depth becomes a quantity that can be spent at runtime rather than a stack of distinct layers. Those extra steps help only if a write made on one recurrent step is still readable on later ones, and that depends on the linear map applied to the re...

LLM-as-a-judge evaluation commonly aggregates multiple judges'decisions into a majority vote, yet this panel decision process does not guarantee that the evaluation of an individual item is reliable. We propose Structured Cross-fitted Uncertainty Risk (SCUR), a label-free approach for estimating instance-level evaluati...
Data selection for LLM fine-tuning faces two facts about real training: data pools draw from many distinct domains, and evaluation spans diverse tasks. As a result, the same sample helps different tasks differently, and samples interact during training so that a subset's value is not the sum of its parts. Current data-...
Activation steering controls large language model behavior by adding a direction to hidden activations during inference. For steering to work well, that direction must be a pure signal for the target concept: any confound entangled with it, such as an incidental topic or writing style, is injected into the residual str...

On-policy distillation (OPD) improves language-model by supervising a student on prefixes sampled from its own policy, but its supervision remains confined to the output space. Consequently, OPD transfers what a teacher predicts without supervising the intermediate computation that produces those predictions. Simply di...

CoEvoke is introduced, a cross-domain framework that evokes public interactions to evidence, decisions, and task-native outcomes during trajectory collection that supports designing collection conditions to obtain corrective supervision that improves collaborative decisions with frozen solving agents.
