Textual reasoning before acting has improved vision-language-action (VLA) models, but at the cost of latency: every action conditioned on the reasoning text must wait for autoregressive decoding. We show that actions do not need to wait for or condition on the generated reasoning to benefit from it, because the reasoni...
Generative safety guards must classify requests correctly and return outputs that applications can parse. Reasoning guards can improve classification accuracy while producing outputs that applications cannot parse. When applications cannot extract a correct prediction, fallback handling can allow harmful requests or bl...

Spiking Neural Networks (SNNs) are promising for energy-efficient spatiotemporal pattern recognition at the edge, but efficient deployment and on-device adaptation require specialized hardware. In this work, we present an FPGA implementation of multilayer SNNs for spatiotemporal pattern classification, in which both in...

The success of autonomous research systems relies on the quality of the scientific hypotheses they generate. Recent studies report that human reviewers often rate LLM-generated ideas as more novel than those from human experts, raising hope that AI can accelerate scientific discovery. Yet it is unclear whether these mo...

Large language models (LLMs) on mobile devices can act as agents that call external software tools to complete complex tasks, but the major challenge of supporting on-device mobile agentic AI with LLMs is the long latency of LLM tool calling on mobile devices. In particular, the decode phase is the main contributor of...
Incomplete field-of-view (FOV) diffusion MRI (dMRI) acquisitions compromise whole-brain white matter analysis by excluding brain regions from tractography and connectivity studies. While deep generative models for dMRI FOV extension have been proposed, their generalizability remains limited by the acquisition-dependent...

Amazing breakthroughs in reinforcement learning have taken place. Computers teach themselves to play Chess and Go and beat world champions. There is talk about expanding application areas towards general artificial intelligence (AI). The breakthroughs in Backgammon, Checkers, Chess, Atari, Go, Poker, and StarCraft have...
LLM-based automated heuristic design (AHD) discovers heuristics for combinatorial optimization problems (COPs), where an LLM generates candidates in an evolutionary search. Existing frameworks freeze the generator or fine-tune it on a scalar fitness signal hiding which instances each heuristic covers. Reflection-based...

AI agents now browse and buy on people's behalf, and benchmarks measure how well the agents perform. Far less is known about the other side of the transaction: whether a merchant's website lets an agent in, publishes terms precise enough to decide a purchase, and leaves evidence of what was agreed. This paper presents...

A shared latent space is often assumed to make representations from different schemas directly interchangeable, yet sharing parameters, dimensionality, or a prior does not determine how corresponding instances are expressed in latent coordinates. We show that this assumption conflates recoverable correspondence, direct...

The results show that client-specific goal representations persist in the KV cache and can causally influence decisions made for other clients, highlighting the importance of relationship-specific state isolation in persistent LLM agents.
