FDSML: Formula-Driven Supervised Metric Learning with Parameter-Aware Triplet Loss

Formula-Driven Supervised Learning (FDSL) enables vision pre-training without real images, but existing methods cast pre-training as classification on discretized labels, discarding continuity in the generative process. We propose Formula-Driven Supervised Metric Learning (FDSML), which derives relational supervision f...

Safe Multi-Objective Reinforcement Learning: Zero Constraint Violation and Primal-Averaging Convergence

Many applications of multi-objective reinforcement learning (MORL) require policies that balance conflicting objectives while satisfying safety constraints. We study safe MORL with zero constraint violation throughout learning, covering both cumulative and stepwise constraints. A key challenge is to explore sufficientl...

Semantic Mismapping in Generalized Category Discovery: Evaluation and Mitigation

Generalized Category Discovery (GCD) aims to perform old-category recognition and novel-category discovery in the same unlabeled set. Early methods address both objectives through clustering and evaluate the exchangeable predicted indices with global Hungarian (GH) matching. Recent methods adopt trainable parametric he...

RetroChessBench: A Benchmark for Reconstructing and Proving Chess Histories

Frontier language models such as GPT 6 Astra have contributed to research mathematics, demonstrating substantial reasoning capabilities. Yet serious reasoning failures persist even in tasks governed by explicit rules. We demonstrate this in retrograde chess which is a playground for pure reasoning, where solvers recons...

Learning to Bound: Monotonic, Calibrated Neural Upper Bounds for MPE Inference

This work introduces Learning to Bound (L2B), a data-driven framework that amortizes bound computation cost by training a neural predictor and targets two key properties required for effective search bounds: admissibility and progressive tightening as evidence accumulates.

There Is No Free Lunch in RLVR: Every pass@1 Gain Has a pass@k Price

It is proved that under exclusive specialization every update that raises pass@1 strictly lowers the success of some prompt; a strictly positive price on prompts (Stiemke duality) is the exact condition, and being merely the best strategy on a prompt is provably not enough.

Where Position Matters: Profiling-Guided Layer-Wise RoPE Allocation in Transformers

This work proposes profiling-guided layer-wise RoPE allocation, assigning high/low coverage under a fixed budget using early coverage-benefit profiles, and normalized-depth mapping transfers profiles within model families, enabling small-model measurements to guide larger-model allocations before pretraining.

EmbodiExp: Compositional Experience Transfer for Embodied Agents

Experience can help embodied agents turn high-level plans into grounded actions, but transferring it across tasks remains challenging: previously effective strategies may be inapplicable to the current state or fail to produce their intended outcomes. We present EmbodiExp, a framework for constructing transferable expe...

Clean Sheets and Checkpoints: Evidence Complexity for Certifying Sequential Agent Risk

Dangerous-capability evaluations often test an AI agent from prepared states at ordered milestones. A clean sheet records no successes. What it certifies about a campaign of $B$ attempts depends on what a failed attempt erases. We model the task as a chain of $k$ milestones divided into checkpoint segments and ask how...

From Local Recovery to Unified Generation: Discovering Triple Set in Knowledge Graphs via Observation-Anchored Latent Diffusion

LatentDiff is proposed, a novel unified latent generative framework for TSP, which reformulates knowledge graph completion as latent space graph generation and introduces an observation-anchored latent graph diffusion model.

Generating Critic-Guided Synthetic Experience in Latent World Models

This work introduces Critic-Guided Synthetic Experience (CGSE) generation in world models, using the world model as a local transition generator, leveraging critic guidance to choose actions inside that model to generate synthetic experiences offline.

Tactus: Tactile&Pose Sensing Glove for Natural Dexterity Data Collection

Tactus is presented, a textile-integrated sensing glove that co-optimizes three design pillars: a thin, conformal 3D-knit form factor, strategically placed capacitive tactile sensors at manipulation-relevant regions informed by empirical contact studies, and IMU-fused pose tracking that maintains accuracy through the h...
