Learning to Be Monitored: Causal Bounds and Intervention-Aware Post-Training Recipes for Chain-of-Thought Monitorability

Chain-of-thought (CoT) monitoring aims to detect potentially harmful behaviors in large language models (LLMs) from their CoTs. Intervention-based evaluations measure this property by asking whether a monitor can detect the role of an intervention from the CoT when the targeted behavior occurs, typically using minimal-...

Autoregressive Multimodal Anomaly Detection with Large Language Models for Microservice Systems

Microservice systems have become a dominant architecture for large-scale cloud applications, enabling rapid deployment and elastic scaling. However, ensuring the reliability and availability of microservice systems critically relies on effective anomaly detection, as failures and performance anomalies can quickly propa...

End-to-End Differentiable Diffusion Conditioning for Physics-Informed Optimization

Differentiable Diffusion Conditioning (D2C) is proposed for offline MBO, which leverages the fact that deterministic sampling makes the reverse denoising chain differentiable with respect to the conditioning signal and turns a frozen conditional diffusion model into an end-to-end gradient-based optimizer.

Reuse, Rewrite, or Reject: Evidence-Constrained Trace Reuse for Repeated Mobile GUI Control

Mobile GUI agents frequently perform repetitive tasks with similar interaction procedures. Reusing previous executions can reduce redundant LLM inference and execution overhead, but variations in user instructions and execution environments may invalidate previously successful actions. We systematically characterize th...

Collaborative In-Context Learning for Indoor Radio Map Estimation

Indoor radio map estimation (RME) is essential for wireless applications such as coverage planning, localization, and network deployment. However, most existing methods follow a supervised learning paradigm that requires costly labeled data and task-specific model training. Moreover, indoor environments involve privacy...

SemantEq: Faithful Bidirectional Equivalence of Formal Statements

Statement autoformalization translates mathematics from natural language into a proof assistant such as Lean 4, and models now do it at scale. As provers get stronger, the burden of correctness shifts from the proof to the statement, that is, to whether the formal statement faithfully translates its source. Given a tru...

Do Language Models Trust Their Own Justifications? A Study on Functional Consistency

Large Language Models (LLMs) have been widely adopted in text classification tasks, where they not only output class predictions but also generate explanations that highlight the tokens deemed most relevant for reaching the predicted label. Yet it remains unclear whether these highlighted elements are behaviorally cons...

DMAIC-Bench: From Self-Reflection to Self-Restraint for Agents in Multi-Stage Analytical Tasks

Multi-stage analytical tasks require LLM agents to use intermediate evidence to decide whether to continue, redirect or stop. Self-reflection, in which an agent critiques its output, is widely studied, yet a critique does not show whether evidence changed the next action. We call that capability self-restraint. Existin...

SWE-Shift: Evaluating Coding Agents in Evolving Workspaces

Repository-level coding benchmarks largely assume that tasks and environments remain unchanged throughout execution. In software development, code, dependencies, runtime state, and requirements can change while an agent is still working. We introduce SWE-Shift, a benchmark for evaluating coding agents under such mid-ex...

Not All Information Is Worth Asking For: Decision-Informed Information Seeking with LLMs

Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly used to support decisions under incomplete information, where deciding what to look up and when to stop matters as much as the final answer. However, LLMs fall into an information trap: They pay for checks, i.e., costly pieces of evidence, that cannot change their decision...

$\Psi$-0.6: Adaptive Streams of Thought in a Unified Vision-Language World Model

Humans reason about the physical world by flexibly combining different forms of inference as a problem unfolds. Achieving this flexibility is a major open challenge in AI: capabilities often remain separated across specialized models, limiting how they can be composed and jointly adapted to a task. We introduce $\Psi$-...

MPQ: A Message-Passing View of Post-Training Quantization

Post-training quantization (PTQ) is a key technique for efficiently deploying large language models, as it compresses weights into low-bit representations without retraining. Existing PTQ solvers, including GPTQ, LDLQ, and block coordinate descent, commit each weight block to a single codeword before its neighbors are...
