SAT-ACT: Learning CDCL Branching from Outcome-Derived Action Preferences

Learning-based approaches have increasingly been explored for SAT solving, with particular attention to improving branching decisions in conflict-driven clause learning (CDCL) solvers. These approaches derive branching guidance either from static structural properties of SAT formulas or from dynamic signals obtained th...

Differential rank preservation manifold learning

Manifold learning methods like t-SNE and UMAP preserve local neighborhoods, but they do not preserve the ranking of the neighbors inside them. Two embeddings can return the same neighbor set while disagreeing on which point is closest. This loss of order degrades downstream applications that value the order in the embe...

Can Personal Requirements Become Supervision for Planning?

Noura is presented, which pairs LLM planning with executable personal specifications instantiated from public clinical guidance and individual health and dietary profiles, and turns executed plans and contextually credited revisions into supervision for compact models, recovering targets even from trajectories that nev...

Opening the Box Changes the Cat: LLMs Detect Chain-of-Thought Monitoring - What now?

It is observed that models can form statistical estimates of the monitor's effectiveness and use these estimates to guide attempts to evade detection, and highlight the need to evaluate CoT-based oversight under adaptive conditions, where the monitoring process itself may influence the behavior it seeks to observe.

Benchmarking Forecasting Agents on Yesterday's Tomorrows

Evaluating agents built on eight recent models, it is found that retrieval improves the Brier score of all eight in every retrieval setting and lifts the leading agents to the market consensus on the 54 questions linked to Polymarket, with the best three scoring slightly above it.

Pushing Dexterity and Safety for In-Hand Object Pose Reaching That Works Remarkably Well

Dexterous manipulation with multi-fingered hands is the next frontier of robotics, yet learned hand skills remain limited to simple grasps or basic repeated motions, such as rotating an object. As robots attempt more demanding in-hand maneuvers, safety, such as not dropping the object, becomes critical, yet it is rarel...

A Sign Law for Entropy Drift under Sampler Mismatch in RLVR

In reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR), whether entropy rises or falls can depend on choices that matter little under exact sampling, such as whether over-length responses are masked or counted as failures. We trace this to sampler mismatch: rollouts are drawn with top-k/top-p truncation or at a tempe...

Value-Rectified Distillation for Flow-based Offline Reinforcement Learning

Value-Rectified Distillation is proposed, a novel framework that reformulates offline policy distillation as a value-guided generative trajectory alignment problem and improves existing generative baselines across diverse continuous control and planning tasks on the D4RL, OGBench, and Minari benchmarks, especially over...

Rethinking Time Series Tokenization from a Frequency Perspective

TimeFT is proposed, a nearly distortion-free frequency-based tokenizer for time series data that is parameter-free, incurs negligible computational complexity, and can serve as a drop-in replacement for existing tokenizers.

A General Topological Symmetry Index for Critical Orbits In Neural Network Loss Landscapes

A systematic understanding of the global structure of neural-network loss landscapes remains challenging due to their high dimensionality. Symmetries arising from network architectures and learning objectives provide a way to investigate aspects of this structure. Although a growing number of studies have drawn attenti...

Reinforcement learning to improve large language model-based automated code compliance systems

Large language model (LLM)-based approaches for automated code compliance (ACC) of building regulations are prone to generating incorrect and hallucinated computer-processable rules. This paper introduces P4IR, a two-stage framework that uses supervised fine-tuning (SFT) to instill domain knowledge in an LLM, followed...
