CUA-Recovery: Benchmarking Error Recovery in Long-Horizon Computer-Use Agents

CUA-Recovery is introduced, a benchmark comprising test and training suites across multiple desktop applications using ReRail, a framework for synthesizing long-horizon tasks and trajectories in a persistent desktop environment that shows that agents struggle both to recognize inherited errors and to complete the task.

When LLMs Manipulate: Measuring Behavioral, Social, and Temporal Effects

Large language models (LLMs) can influence user trust and decision-making through subtle linguistic cues, yet the behavioral effects of manipulative outputs remain poorly quantified. We introduce a behavioral computing framework for measuring \textit{behavioral vulnerability}, defined as users'susceptibility to manipul...

TEX: Test-Time Scaling Testing Agents via Execution-based Cross-Validation

TEX, a collaborative test-time scaling framework based on execution-driven cross-validation that parallelizes agents to generate tests and patches, cross-executing each test against every patch to form a feedback matrix, enabling objective validation without verbose trace sharing.

A latent control model for realistic rodent motion

The development of embodied models of animal behavior is a major goal of the neuro-AI community. Embodied models will enhance our ability to make direct comparisons between biological and artificial agents. To make such comparisons effective, though, we need embodied models that actually move like animals. Previous wor...

TxnQA: Benchmarking Analytical Reasoning and Evidence Grounding over Transaction Event Sequences

Analyzing merchant transaction histories requires dynamic temporal filtering, entity resolution, and aggregation over irregular event streams--operations poorly captured by static tabular or time-series forecasting benchmarks. We introduce TxnQA, an analytical QA benchmark comprising 27 task families (81 templates) alo...

ReuF2F: Benchmarking Coding Agents on Formalized Undergraduate Research Problems

ReuF2F is introduced, a Lean 4 benchmark of 244 formalized open problems drawn from Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU), spanning entry-level open research problems across a broad range of mathematical subfields and adopts a standard coding-agent evaluation setting.

Cross-Dialect Generalization Without Retraining: Benchmarks and Evaluation of Schema-Derived Constrained Decoding for MLIR

Multi-Level Intermediate Representation (MLIR) underlies modern ML compiler infrastructure (TensorFlow, JAX/StableHLO, PyTorch Inductor, IREE), yet appears only in trace amounts in code-LM pretraining corpora. MLIR is also extensible by design: new dialects ship per application domain, so a fine-tuned model per dialect...

Learning What to Say to Your VLA: Mostly Harmless Vision Language Action Model Steering

Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models provide a natural language interface to robot control, but the mapping from language to behavior is often brittle and unintuitive: semantically similar instructions can induce drastically different behaviors, while some capabilities may not be elicitable through prompting alone. As a...

Learning to Reason About Implicit Multimodal Harm: From Diagnosis to Generalization

A benign image paired with a benign caption can become harmful only in combination, making detection fundamentally a cross-modal reasoning problem. Existing multimodal harm benchmarks evaluate only classification accuracy, leaving unclear whether models identify the cross-modal mechanism that produces harm. We introduc...

Dynamics of Stochastic Momentum with Sparse Updates in High Dimensions

Existing theory of momentum assumes that gradients arrive at every parameter at a roughly constant rate, an assumption violated in practice by heavy-tailed data distributions and modern architectures. We theoretically analyze the dynamics of two tractable models of momentum under sparse updates: a least squares model w...

Multitask learning with semiempirical orbital charges enables sample-efficient MLIPs

Machine learning interatomic potentials (MLIPs) require generating computationally expensive, large-scale training datasets to accurately simulate materials and molecules. Incorporating electronic structure information using multitask learning improves sample efficiency, however, training on full Hamiltonian matrices,...

ECPO: Evidence-Coupled Policy Optimization for Verifier-Audited Candidate Ranking

Ranking systems used for decision support should expose evidence that can be audited independently of the model's ranking scores. We study a closed-roster setting in which a policy jointly emits a Top-$K$ ranking and candidate-linked, span-grounded evidence bundles. Evidence-Coupled Policy Optimization (ECPO) combines...
