Scientist World: Grow a Research World for AI-Scientists

AI-Scientists arrived, but a world for them to grow in did not. Human scientists take theirs for granted $-$ centuries of open problems and shared ideas, waiting in the scientific literature. To AI-Scientists, that world is readable but not runnable, so we build Scientist World for them: every research paper becomes an...

StepBack: Step-Level Error-Localized Resampling for Efficient Test-Time Reasoning

Self-consistency (SC) is a widely used decoding strategy for improving chain-of-thought reasoning, but it requires sampling many complete reasoning trajectories with a preset budget. Its efficient variants reduce the cost mainly by stopping full-trajectory sampling early or distributing the number of samples across que...

Benchmarking Large Language Models on Heterogeneous Cognitive and Biomedical Knowledge Graphs: The Role of Graph Grounding in Multi-Hop Reasoning and Hallucination Mitigation

Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly used in biomedical and cognitive neuroscience, but their ability to reason reliably over heterogeneous knowledge graphs (KGs) remains unclear. We benchmark five LLMs (GPT-5.1, Gemini 2.0 Pro, Llama 3, Qwen, and BioGPT) across five KGs: DrugBank, NeuroSynth, Cognitive Atlas,...

RM-VLM: From Natural-Language Task Descriptions to Vision-Grounded Reward Machines

Reward machines (RMs) have been proposed as a reward formulation in reinforcement learning (RL) to capture non-Markovian tasks where credit assignment depends on history. By representing reward functions as automata, RMs expose the task's temporal structure and allow such rewards to be handled within a Markovian framew...

DictLLM: Post-training Compression of Large Language Model with Dictionary Kernels

Efficient deployment of large language models (LLMs) on mobile devices requires balancing performance with compute and memory constraints. Post-training compression is an effective approach to managing this trade-off, while requiring much less computation than in-training counterparts. We propose DictLLM, a dictionary-...

A Behavioural Framework for Predicting and Understanding Loss of Control in Frontier Artificial Intelligence Systems

Frontier artificial intelligence (AI) systems are increasingly operating over longer horizons with diminishing human oversight, raising the risk of loss of control: systems acting beyond effective human control with potentially irreversible consequences. Because such failures may become observable only after containmen...

Goal Revelation as a Bridge Between Information-Theoretic Empowerment and Capability-Based Human Power

A satisfaction floor, computable from two statistics of interaction logs, offers a way to monitor the power users retain in a deployed system, and simulations in random environments show the three quantities are correlated but far from interchangeable.

PromptOps: Iterative Prompt Optimization for LLM-as-a-Judge Systems

This work introduces PromptOps, a closedloop framework for monitoring and iteratively recalibrating LLM-as-a-Judge (LLMaaJ) systems and establishes prompt optimization for deployed LLM judges as an inherently iterative maintenance problem and demonstrates that PromptOps provides a practical abstraction for studying and...

Synthesizing symbolic models of human and machine reasoning at scale

Behavior-Conditioned Symbolic Synthesis is introduced---an approach for automated search of interpretable, deterministic symbolic programs that verifiably reproduce behavior---and applied to model both human and machine behavior across hundreds of challenging reasoning problems, pointing to underlying mechanisms remini...

TRIAGE: Reliability- and Load-Conditioned Escalation for Two-Tier LLM Serving with a Semantic Evidence Judge

Two-tier LLM serving escalates selected requests from a small model to a large one, but prompt-based routers cannot see whether retrieved evidence supports an answer, and they treat the GPU cost of an escalation as constant. We study TRIAGE, which conditions escalation on a post-generation reliability state and on a lo...

CR-Bench-v2: Evaluating the Real-World Utility of AI Code Review Agents

The rapid growth of automated code generation has created a pressing need for automated code review. Yet code review resists full automation: it depends on context beyond the \textit{diff}, on the author's intent, and on judgments about design and maintainability on which even expert reviewers disagree. Existing code r...
