CAS (causal active sequential experimentation), which targets evaluation to model-workload pairs and repeats the test as evidence accumulates, to ask whether one assignment stays optimal across every quality table consistent with the evidence.
BEACON is proposed, a tri-modal contrastive learning framework that aligns three complementary views of urban space: physical representations from AE embeddings, semantic representations from point-of-interest (POI) text, and human behavioral representations from hourly POI visitation, while keeping the deployed representation image-only.
A benchmark of multi-visit, multi-specialty patient records is introduced that evaluates long-context evidence retrieval, cross-time evidence aggregation, and cross-specialty clinical reasoning and proposes MedCache, a hybrid framework that constructs temporally valid patient memory and organizes evidence into overlapping specialty views.

It is shown that continual unlearning operations accumulate geometric constraints in parameter space, leading to saturated subspaces that restrict future updates, a critical barrier to the long-term reliability of machine unlearning systems and motivate the development of plasticity-preserving unlearning algorithms.

The proposed update incorporates the objective gradient inside the denoising step, yielding an inference-time method that uses only a pretrained denoiser and gradient evaluations and is analyzed as an inexact projected-gradient method for constrained optimization over learned feasible geometries.

A random preview can replace worst-case sequential complexity by classical statistical dimensions without randomizing the online order by using an online analogue of chaining, implemented as a multiscale aggregation algorithm rather than only as an analytic argument.
The correlation-weighted model using the original standardized measurements achieved the lowest root mean squared error in all nine primary outcome-cohort combinations and outperformed previously reported support vector regression or least-squares support vector regression reference values in eight of nine comparisons.

These findings establish 24-hour wrist movement as a rich and scalable source of health information, with the potential to support passive health monitoring and disease prediction at population scale, and establish Sensori, a self-supervised foundation model that learns general-purpose health representations directly from 24 hours of raw tri-axial wrist movement.

It is proved that the learning dynamics and the distillation error $\Ets$ are exactly invariant to $\dmiss$, whereas the true error $\Etzs$ and the gap $\Delta=\Etzs-\Ets$ are strictly increasing in $\dmiss$, with a rate that is amplified linearly by the complexity $M_0$ of the true teacher.
A causal model of how sandbagging is carried in the residual stream is proposed, which predicts a window of layers, after the last sandbagging write and before the answer commit, in which a single-layer reference graft of the sandbagging axis to its honest value restores the full capability.

Sandbagging, in which a model deliberately underperforms on an evaluation despite retaining the underlying capability, threatens the safety evaluations that frontier-model governance depends on. The Elicitation Game found that fine-tuning elicits hidden capability from sandbagging model organisms whereas additive activation steering fails. We revisit that verdict with reference-grafting, which sets an activation's coordinate along a contrast direction to the value it takes in an honest reference, at a small set of circuits chosen by active learning. Across eleven fine-tuned password-locked models (1.5-32B, three architecture lineages), it recovers +94 to +101% of the honest-sandbagging gap, matching fine-tuning elicitation without weight updates or training labels; two to five paired examples suffice to fit the direction. Similar recovery holds for reinforcement-learning-induced sandbagging and for password-locked code generation. Grafting works because the fine-tuned lock is a thresholded gate: held-out accuracy stays at the sandbagged level until the grafted coordinate crosses a threshold near the honest reference, which is why additive steering and zeroing the coordinate often fail. The direction tracks how the sandbagging was induced rather than what is withheld -- fit on grade-school science (ARC) it elicits withheld hazardous knowledge (WMDP), yet prompting, fine-tuning, and reinforcement learning each carry a different direction. Circuit-breaking marks the boundary: it reroutes activations on every forward pass, so the fixed edits we test are re-broken downstream and do not restore coherent generation.

Method is introduced, which augments SOAP-style preconditioning with a scalar secant-energy correction adapted to Kronecker geometry and an adaptive basis update followed by variance-state downscaling, and is positioned as a scalable option for stiff, high-accuracy physics-informed training, rather than a uniform replacement for existing optimizers.

A weeklong summer workshop brought higher education faculty to campus to explore how AI and machine learning materials can be adapted for their classrooms.
Adaptive AI agents can help make BIM data more machine-readable by navigating IFC models, interpreting inconsistent information, and mapping it to defined standards. In this blog, Alok Rawat shares findings from a real-world pilot in construction workflows. The post Adaptive AI Agents in Construction Workflows appeared first on GPT-Lab.
