EvalCards: A Framework for Standardized Evaluation Reporting

Evaluation reports guide the use of general-purpose AI (GPAI) models, yet inconsistent reporting often leaves essential questions unanswered. Through a review of prior work, we identify three central issues in evaluation reporting practices today, reproducibility, accessibility, and accountability, and examine how exis...

EvoSkill v2: Fully Agentic Skill Evolution from Benchmark Adaptation to a Stateful Evolver

EvoSkill v2 is a three-agent system that edits the instructions (skills) an agent is given, leaving its model and harness intact. The user starts a run by describing a benchmark and supplying a grader, which a benchmark adaptor turns into a benchmark-specific plugin. A solver attempts the tasks, and an evolver reads th...

JANUS: Foreseeing Latent Risk for Long-Horizon Agent Safety

Agent safety is moving from content moderation toward preventing operational failures before tool-using agents act. We propose Janus, a foresight-oriented framework for long-horizon agent safety that trains guards to anticipate delayed risks from partial trajectories. Janus synthesizes diverse agent trajectories via mu...

AlphaMemo: Structured Search-Process Memory for Self-Evolving Alpha Mining Agents

LLM agents are promising for alpha mining via combining financial priors, symbolic reasoning, executable factor generation, and feedback-driven refinement. Yet, they face a combinatorial search space, noisy non-stationary feedback, redundant discoveries, and overfitting risks from naively reusing past successes. To add...

SkillPyramid: A Hierarchical Skill Consolidation Framework for Self-Evolving Agents

Recent AI agents can flexibly invoke skills to solve complex tasks, but their long-term improvement is fundamentally constrained by a lack of systematic skill construction, accumulation, and transfer. In particular, without a unified framework for skill consolidation, agents tend to redundantly construct similar capabi...

Yalda-Embedding: Open Development of a Competitive Persian Retrieval Model

Yalda Embedding, a 595.8-million-parameter Persian retrieval model adapted from Qwen3-Embedding-0.6B, is presented, a 595.8-million-parameter Persian retrieval model using more than one million query-document pairs and achieves the highest macro-average among the evaluated 0.6B models.

Interpretable sparse fine-tuning with TopKLoRA enables faithful circuit discovery

Fine-tuning on datasets of unknown origin can create a backdoor in the trained model when the data includes poisoned examples. Difficult to localise and remove, backdoors can persist through safety training. While parameter-efficient fine-tuning methods capture the full parameter changes introduced during training, the...

Multiplicative vs. Additive State Coupling in Learned Optimizer Schedules

We learn schedules for a continuous penalty relaxation of MAX-CUT by backpropagating through an unrolled classical solver. A state-blind schedule generalizes to instances substantially larger than those used for training. A state-adaptive bilinear schedule also generalizes out of distribution, outperforming its untrain...

Every Edge Needs a Quote: Building a Quote-Grounded Knowledge Graph of Healthcare Software Adoption with Language-Model Agents

Hospitals regularly buy software that clinicians and patients depend on. Because these purchases are costly, hard to reverse and can affect patient care, buyers look for evidence of which peer institutions already use a product and which systems it connects to. This evidence is public but scattered across vendor websit...

On-Policy Self-Training: Data-Free Self-Improvement in Large Language Models

On-policy self-distillation enables post-training foundation models without relying on stronger external teachers. However, existing approaches rely on ground-truth question-answer pairs, human-curated problem sets, or other supervised signals. In this work, we reformulate on-policy self-distillation as a self-training...

Ontology-Guided Knowledge Graph Construction from Structured Metadata and Climate Science Publications

The rapid expansion of scientific literature far outpaces the speed of manual curation, creating a fundamental bottleneck in extracting structured knowledge from scientific texts. To address this, we introduce an agentic, ontology-guided framework for knowledge graph (KG) construction. Our framework utilizes specialize...

Analysing Austrian Parliamentary Speeches by Predicting Party Affiliations

This paper examines speech characteristics of the Austrian National Council members (CMs). We introduce analysis methodology based on a fine-tuned BERT-Model which assigns to every speech a probability distribution over Austrian parties. These are then aggregated at the speaker and party level. We perform an extensive...
