MLEvolve: A Self-Evolving Framework for Automated Machine Learning Algorithm Discovery

Large language model (LLM) agents are increasingly applied to long-horizon tasks such as scientific discovery and machine learning engineering (MLE), where sustained self-evolution becomes a key capability. However, existing MLE agents suffer from isolated exploration, inefficient experience reuse, and lack of hierarch...

Artificial intelligence is creating a new global linguistic hierarchy

Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to transform healthcare, education, governance and socioeconomic equity, but its benefits remain concentrated in a small number of languages (Bender, 2019; Blasi et al., 2022; Joshi et al., 2020; Ranathunga and de Silva, 2022; Young, 2015). Language AI - the technologies t...

RiskCueBench: Benchmarking Anticipatory Reasoning from Early Risk Cues in Video-Language Models

With the rapid growth of video centered social media, the ability to anticipate risky events from visual data is a promising direction for ensuring public safety and preventing real world accidents. Prior work has extensively studied supervised video risk assessment across domains such as driving, protests, and natural...

MENTOR: A Metacognition-Driven Self-Evolution Framework for Uncovering and Mitigating Implicit Domain Risks in LLMs

Ensuring the safety of Large Language Models (LLMs) is critical for real-world deployment. However, current safety measures often fail to address implicit, domain-specific risks. To investigate this gap, we introduce a dataset of 3,000 annotated queries spanning education, finance, and management. Evaluations across 14...

GoiBERT: Compact Vietnamese Language Models via Two-Stage Knowledge Distillation

GoiBERT, a family of two compact Vietnamese encoders with 26M and 49M parameters that operate directly on raw text, shows that compression is nearly lossless for sentiment and classification tasks but remains costly for inference and entity recognition, which points to clear directions for future work.

Investigating the Impact of Learner Errors on Social Bias in Large Language Models

A controlled framework that injects common learner errors into prompts and applies it to three bias benchmarks covering stereotype alignment and demographic preference across gender, race, and religion finds that grammatical errors increase bias, and the effect grows with the error rate.

Evolving with Open Worlds: Towards Recursive Self-Improvement for Future Forecasting

Most contemporary artificial intelligence (AI) systems are released with frozen parameters and improve through external updates, whereas an ideal system would keep improving from its own experience, a capacity we call recursive self-improvement (RSI). Yet studying RSI requires an environment that is continuously changi...

Overview of CHIP 2026 Shared Task 1: Patient-Specific Phenotype Concept Recognition in Full-Text Biomedical Literature

Automatic phenotype information extraction plays an important role in rare disease diagnosis, genotype-phenotype analysis, and precision medicine. However, accurately identifying phenotype concepts and determining their associations with specific patients remain challenging, particularly in full-text biomedical article...

How Far Can the Gemma 4 Speech Encoder Go Without Changing Its Weights? Saudi and Gulf Arabic Speech Recognition with a Frozen and an Adapter-Augmented Encoder

We study the 305M-parameter audio encoder shared by Gemma 4 and EmbeddingGemma 2 (bit-identical to that of Gemma 4 E2B except for the final audio-embedding projection) for Saudi and Gulf Arabic speech recognition, without changing any of its pretrained weights; the adapters of our adapted system are additive and kept s...

Sharp Degree Bounds for Putinar Certificates in Terms of the Positivity Margin via Analytic Sums of Squares

We establish sharp degree bounds for Putinar sum-of-squares (SOS) certificates in terms of the positivity margin $\delta$. For any fixed Archimedean quadratic module with prescribed generators and any fixed degree bound on the objective, normalized polynomial objectives admit a uniform certificate-degree upper bound of...

VEILED-SH: Vulnerability Expression through Indirect Language Evaluation Dataset (Self-Harm)

AI systems may miss indirect, culturally situated distress or provide support mismatched to the application context. Existing benchmarks do not jointly address cultural variation, application context, and practitioner disagreement. We introduce VEILED-SH, a benchmark and construction methodology for evaluating single-t...

Memories That Outlive Their Reasons: Dependency-Tethered Memory for Tool-Using LLM Agents

Agents now act on the Web, publishing packages, models and datasets through registry APIs, and remembering past verifications spares them the work. But a verdict rests on premises. When a signing key is revoked, everything built on it stops passing, yet the advisory names only the key, and the old verdicts of its depen...
