Efficient Agentic Audio-Visual Question Answering through Toolset Pruning and Modality Consolidation

Fine-grained audio-visual question answering (AVQA) requires models to resolve complex cross-modal correspondences and temporally grounding from sparsely distributed evidence. Omni-modal agents, which autonomously orchestrate perception tools to actively collect evidence, achieve strong performance, but it remains uncl...

Beyond fabrication: Misattributed numbers in papers written by AI research agents

Verifying numerical claims in research written by AI agents is an important but challenging problem. Recent benchmarks show that many agent-written papers fail integrity checks, but such verdicts, often produced by a single LLM judge, identify failure without explaining its nature, and existing checks either test a pap...

Right Numbers, Wrong Questions: Evaluating LLMs on Underspecified Financial Queries

Financial assistants answer questions that sound factual but depend on what the user leaves unsaid: what a data figure measures, which product variant is meant, and the investor's situation and the rules that apply. An assistant that ignores these can still answer with a real number from its data, one that answers a di...

From Leniency to Suspicion: How an Open Post-Training Recipe Changes Whom LLM Fact-Checkers Believe

LLMs increasingly fact-check online content with the poster's identity in view. However, it remains unclear which post-training changes how much a model's truth judgement depends on the poster's social class, and how such a change happens inside the model. This paper investigates job-based doubt, i.e., judging a claim...

Predict the Reward, Not the World: World Reward Models for ML Agents

Search-based machine-learning (ML) agents improve a solution by writing candidate programs, executing them, and keeping the best. Execution gives the search reliable feedback, but a single run can take hours, and most runs end in programs the agent discards. Recent agents try to save these runs by letting a large langu...

SkillMem: Compact External Skill Memory for Latent Multi-Agent Reasoning

SkillMem is introduced, which represents each reusable skill as a small external latent memory and makes it directly available during latent multi-agent reasoning, showing that compact procedural memories can be reused without sacrificing the efficiency of latent multi-agent reasoning.

ThinkJev: One Thought, Every Budget for Calibrated Typed Decisions

ThinkJev builds a fast and a slow system from one open hybrid-thinking model that can answer directly or after a thought, and chooses when to think from System 1's confidence alone saves less, because the decisions System 1 is least sure of are often not the ones thinking fixes.

Agentic University: Collaborative Agents for Personalized Learning

Large language models support personalized tutoring, content generation, and adaptive learning paths. However, capability development requires these resources and interactions to form a coherent learning process that evolves with the learner. A central challenge is to align goals, activities, and assessment while using...
