Explicit reasoning in large language models (LLMs) is often associated with reliability, yet it can still pose risks when a model infers harmful goals under a benign context. We identify a distinct challenge: ensuring the safety of the \emph{multi-step reasoning process} itself, where locally coherent steps may still l...

Self-attention assigns two functions to one mechanism-where to read and how to mix-at the price of O(L^2) training, an O(T) decode state, and position signals bound to the training length. Existing attention-free alternatives all optimize the single function of generation. We propose FON (Fusion-Organ Network), which d...

Training neural networks in reduced precision can yield significant efficiency gains, yet all existing methods that scale to standard computer vision benchmarks retain floating-point in at least one stage, typically the weight update or optimizer state. We present a training algorithm that scales to modern deep neural...

Frontier LLM agents perform complex interactive tasks, but their inference costs motivate transferring their experience to smaller open-source agents. Distillation and latent communication typically require target-model training or access to source-model internals. We study how textual frontier-model trajectories can p...

Before changing a deployed AI agent (a stricter safety gate, a new model), organizations must approve the change, starting from existing logs. Extending classical risk analysis to partial records and partial changes to running systems, agent-risk replays logged episodes, assuming nothing else changes and the agent does...
Mamba-based super-resolution models are efficient alternatives to Transformer-based restoration backbones, but their low-bit post-training quantization remains challenging because selective scan, Mamba's input-dependent state-space operator, induces different activation ranges across spatial tokens. Thus, a single laye...
Current ASR models perform well on general benchmarks but still struggle with acoustically ambiguous words. Visual context can aid recognition in screen-based scenarios, yet existing benchmarks provide limited insight into the benefits of different types of visual evidence. To address this gap, we introduce ScreenASR-B...

As large language models are increasingly adopted as multi-party communication facilitators, there is a growing demand for agents capable of balancing diverse group dynamics across contexts. However, existing LLM facilitators are often fine-tuned for task-specific objectives; generalized LLM-based facilitation methods...

This paper proposes ONESHOT, which uses a single confirmed anomaly to weight the pool rather than to choose one detector from it, and shows that a single confirmed anomaly is enough to come close to the best detector for the series.

A model may select the correct answer yet fail to construct it through a sequence of local decisions. We introduce Choice2Seq, a diagnostic benchmark that measures correctness retention across complete-answer selection and sequential construction in independent runs on the same problems and candidate sets. Sequence Com...

Boundary ablations show that retrieving a small set of input-relevant rules preserves performance close to using all boundaries with substantially less context, supporting efficient reuse of flagship-generated label knowledge for lightweight classification.

Real-world studies (RWS) analyze routinely collected healthcare data, such as electronic health records and insurance claims, to estimate treatment effects, monitor safety, and identify risk factors outside randomized trials. Automating RWS with large language model agents is appealing but brittle: valid analyses depen...
