Multistep and Multivariate Time Series Explainability with GradientSHAP: A Wind Power Case Study

As the effects of climate change become increasingly apparent, the demand for renewable energy sources such as wind power continues to grow. However, renewables' variable and intermittent nature presents significant challenges in their integration into energy grids. Artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a powerfu...

Cheap Retrieval and Observation Credit Assignment from One Quantity: The Value of Information

Memory in reinforcement learning raises two problems. Attention finds the relevant item by scoring the whole store, which is costly for robots under latency and energy limits. When a retrieved memory pays off, credit for acquiring it must cross the whole sequence. We argue that both are governed by one quantity, the va...

Does Federated Training Degrade Explainability? A Comparative Analysis of Grad-CAM Faithfulness in Centralized vs. Federated Deepfake Detection

It is found that the relationship between federation and explanation quality is non-monotonic: at near-IID and moderate heterogeneity, federated models match or exceed the faithfulness of a centralized baseline, but at extreme heterogeneity, explanations break down entirely, becoming spatially incoherent and, on averag...

Formal Specifications with Data-Driven Signal Analysis

A hybrid approach for analyzing and monitoring real-valued signals that integrates specification-based and data-driven techniques and semi-supervised machine learning to infer complex relationships that distinguish correct from faulty behaviors is proposed.

Where You Inject Matters: The Trust Region Effect in LLM Agents

This work provides the first systematic characterization for the effectiveness of different injection placements, spanning both coarse-grained environmental surfaces and fine-grained positions, and develops learning-based attackers that generate injection content and select better injection placements.

Learning to Reason from Reference Samples Alone: Reinforced Adversarial Learning for Modern LLM Post-Training

In many settings where LLM post-training is desirable, high-quality answers are recognizable but difficult to score with explicit rewards. Reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR) is limited to tasks where an explicit correctness signal is available. Prior adversarial approaches to training reasoning LLMs...

Deogen: Automatic Benchmark Generation for Reasoning over Policies

Language models are increasingly being deployed in regulated settings, where a model must apply given rules to the facts of a situation to determine a verdict. Benchmarking this capability, known as deontic reasoning, remains a costly and manual process, with existing datasets largely hand-crafted. In this paper, we pr...

Value Probes: Learned Value Functions for Beam-Search Red Teaming

Automated red-team auditing of language models is an important way to evaluate safety-relevant behaviors. These audits implicitly search a tree of possible conversation pathways: at each turn an auditor model decides which conversation to continue, and an LLM judge scores the dialogue. We emphasize that this auditing p...

Accelerating Nonlinear MPC by Behavior Cloning with Separated Timescales: Application to Nuclear Reactor Load-Following

Behavior Cloning (BC) of expert controllers for multiscale dynamical systems is challenging: state variables evolving at widely separated timescales induce highly nonlinear couplings that a shared latent space may fail to adequately represent, degrading closed-loop generalization. We propose Structured Representation L...

Game-Theoretic Foundations for Undiscounted Bisimulation Metrics

Bisimulation metrics offer a principled notion of task-relevant state similarity in reinforcement learning, but existing constructions and methods are largely confined to discounted MDPs, where contraction arguments ensure well-defined fixed points and downstream guarantees. We develop a unified foundation for bisimula...

Post-Training Large Language Models with LLMON

Large Language Models (LLMs) treat all context tokens uniformly, lacking explicit separation between executable instructions and passive data. This leads to prompt injection vulnerabilities, ambiguous instruction binding, and unreliable execution control. We present a post-training methodology using LLMON (LLM Object N...
