More Features Are Not More Evidence: Limits of Training-Free Human Activity Recognition with Jev

General-purpose models promise sensor-based decisions without training a task-specific classifier, which could reduce the dependence of Human Activity Recognition (HAR) on labeled data. Yet it remains unclear whether such models can directly interpret deterministic descriptions of physical sensor signals well enough to...

Memory Is a Derivation: The Distributed-Evidence Paradox in Long-Term Agents

DerivAudit is introduced, a framework for auditing whether a memory is actually supported by the history available when it was written, whether supporting evidence lies beyond writer-provided citations, whether the composed memory introduces unsupported meaning, and how write-time admission decisions affect later memor...

AdaST: Adaptive Coupling for Spatial-Temporal Forecasting

The proposed AdaST is an adaptive ST forecasting framework that tackles challenges through a decompose-recompose paradigm, and significantly outperforms state-of-the-art baselines, validating the necessity of an adaptive approach.

The Layer Mystery of VLA: An Information-Theoretical Analysis of VLA Latent Interface

A reweighting equivalence is derived between the proposed information-bottleneck objectives for action-conditioned InfoNCE and action prediction, motivating InfoNCE as a proxy for layer quality and providing the most consistent positive association with policy success among four evaluated proxies.

An Exact Generate - Transform Decomposition of Small-LLM Team Scaling Across Orchestration Architectures

Replacing one LLM agent with a collaborating team can raise accuracy, but whether scaling the team helps, and which architecture to scale, is unclear. Sweeping eight agent orchestration architectures across five instruction-tuned 7-9B models, five short-answer benchmarks, and an executable-code benchmark up to 30 calls...

GeoOutageBench: Benchmarking Ambiguity-aware, Ontology-grounded Geospatiotemporal KGQA for Multimodal Power Outage and Resilience Analysis

We introduce GeoOutageBench, a benchmark for assessing LLM-based geospatiotemporal KGQA for multimodal outage and resilience analysis. Unlike existing KGQA benchmarks for Web knowledge, GeoOutageBench considers a spatiotemporal KG that integrates visual, textual, and structured data from outage records, remote sensing,...

SMat-Attention: Structured Long-Context Sequence Modeling

This work introduces Structured Matrix Attention via a family of causal masks with structured long-range routing whose row supports have VC-dimension, which makes VC-dimension an explicit knob governing access-pattern complexity, prefill cost, and decoding memory.

Mirror-Score: Calibrated, Inference-only Scoring Exposes the Limits of Sequence-compatibility Ranking in D-peptide Design

D-peptides combine protease resistance with high target specificity, but computational design of D-peptide binders remains immature. Mirror-Peptidizer introduced an in silico mirror-image screening pipeline using target reflection, backbone generation, and ProteinMPNN sequence design, but its raw ProteinMPNN negative l...

GeoWind2Plan: Mission-Time 3D Urban Wind Prediction for Energy-Efficient UAV Planning

In urban low-altitude flight, buildings reshape ambient wind into spatially varying 3D flow, making unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) energy depend on local wind exposure as well as path length. However, building-resolved wind information is rarely available when a mission must be planned. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD...
