Discovery of Interpretable Surrogates via Agentic AI: Application to Gravitational Waves

Fast surrogate models for expensive simulations are now essential across the sciences, yet they typically operate as black boxes. We present \texttt{GWAgent}, a large language model (LLM)-based workflow that constructs interpretable analytic surrogates directly from simulation data. Surrogate modeling is well suited to...

gwBenchmarks: Stress-Testing LLM Agents on High-Precision Gravitational Wave Astronomy

Modern gravitational wave astronomy relies on modeling tasks that often require months of graduate-level effort, including building fast waveform surrogates from expensive numerical relativity simulations, modeling orbital dynamics of black holes, fitting merger remnant properties and constructing template banks. These...

Relational Retrieval: Leveraging Known-Novel Interactions for Generalized Category Discovery

In this study, we tackle Generalized Category Discovery (GCD) via a Relational Retrieval perspective, explicitly coupling labeled and unlabeled data through bidirectional knowledge transfer. While existing methods treat these sources separately, missing valuable interaction opportunities, we propose Relational Pattern...

Using LLMs in Software Design: An Empirical Study of GitHub and A Practitioner Survey

Recent advancements in Large Language Models (LLMs) have demonstrated significant potential across software engineering tasks, including software design, an area traditionally regarded as highly dependent on human expertise and judgment. However, limited research has examined how LLMs are used in software design, aswel...

Learning from Noisy Preferences: A Semi-Supervised Learning Approach to Direct Preference Optimization

Human visual preferences are inherently multi-dimensional, encompassing aesthetics, detail fidelity, and semantic alignment. However, existing datasets provide only single, holistic annotations, resulting in severe label noise: images that excel in some dimensions but are deficient in others are simply marked as winner...

RAT: RunAnyThing via Fully Automated Environment Configuration

Automating repository-level software engineering tasks is a foundational challenge for autonomous code agents, largely due to the difficulty of configuring executable environments. However, manual configuration remains a labor-intensive bottleneck, necessitating a transition toward fully automated environment configura...

LG-HCC: Local Geometry-Aware Hierarchical Context Compression for 3D Gaussian Splatting

This paper introduces an Neighborhood-Aware Anchor Pruning (NAAP) strategy, which evaluates anchor importance via weighted neighborhood feature aggregation and then merges low-contribution anchors into salient neighbors, yielding a compact yet geometry-consistent anchor set.

Learning Energy-Efficient Air--Ground Actuation for Hybrid Robots on Stair-Like Terrain

Hybrid aerial--ground robots can use thrust to cross obstacles that impede wheel-driven motion, but deciding how much thrust to apply during contact remains challenging. We present an energy-aware reinforcement learning framework that jointly commands wheels, tilt servos and propellers through a single continuous polic...

SAIL: Test-Time Scaling for In-Context Imitation Learning with VLM

SAIL is a framework that reframes robot imitation as an iterative refinement problem capable of scaling with test-time compute, and utilizes Monte Carlo Tree Search, where each node is a complete trajectory and edges correspond to trajectory refinements.

Cognition to Control - Multi-Agent Learning for Human-Humanoid Collaborative Transport

Full-stack human-robot collaboration (HRC) can become brittle when replacing a planner, partner model, coordination policy, or controller changes the physical meaning of cross-layer signals. We introduce C2C, an object-centric cognition-to-control architecture that preserves these meanings through physical contracts. R...

When Scaling Fails: Mitigating Audio Perception Decay of LALMs via Multi-Step Perception-Aware Reasoning

Test-Time Scaling has shown notable efficacy in addressing complex problems through scaling inference compute. However, within Large Audio-Language Models (LALMs), an unintuitive phenomenon exists: post-training models for structured reasoning trajectories results in marginal or even negative gains compared to post-tra...
