Cybersecurity governance, risk management, compliance, and security architecture rely on numerous concepts, including security properties, domains, controls, risks, implementation measures, capabilities, and compliance requirements. Although these concepts are widely used, they are often represented through heterogeneo...
Clinical trial prescreening requires distinguishing unmet conditions from insufficient evidence in patient records. Given patient records, criterion questions, and predefined answer options, we retrospectively compared JEV, a non-generative decision model returning native option probabilities, with schema-constrained Q...

Transformer-based language models exhibit an astonishing capacity to generalize to longer and more difficult problem instances than those seen in training. However, theoretical understanding of this phenomenon still lags behind. Unlike most machine learning models, the generalisation abilities of transformers inherentl...

Error-targeted learning gives a legible way to improve a model: identify specific weaknesses of the model, train the model to fix these weaknesses, and check whether the weaknesses are fixed. We study how to apply error-targeted learning to terminal agents, which solve long-horizon tasks specified in natural language b...

A probe trained on a base model can be reused, in these families, after distillation and after instruction tuning; how much it reads beyond textual cues depends on the test set.
A full-duplex spoken dialogue model must yield when the user cuts in and hold when the user merely backchannels. Sequence-level RL with a timing reward (GRPO) is the usual recipe; we test its whole-rollout form on four open models and find two failures. A binary window reward gives zero advantage on exactly the windows...

Critic-free methods are widely used in reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR) for long chain-of-thought (CoT) reasoning, avoiding difficult and costly critic training. Common alternatives lack token-level credit assignment and typically rely on grouped rollouts to estimate prompt-specific baselines. A cr...

Multi-reward reinforcement learning offers a promising framework for aligning large language models (LLMs) with diverse objectives, but conflicting reward signals can induce ambiguous update directions and hinder stable optimization. Existing approaches address such conflicts through reward reweighting, gradient coordi...

Recursive self-improvement (RSI), in which a system also improves the way it improves, is a long-standing aspiration on the path to AGI. Language agents increasingly store procedural knowledge in reusable skills. Optimizing skills offers a direct way to achieve RSI, because the optimization procedure itself can be enco...

Large language models incur substantial training and inference costs in personalized search and recommendation, as growing interaction histories lengthen request inputs and repeatedly expose the same item text to the model. We propose \textbf{C}omposable and \textbf{R}eusable \textbf{I}tem \textbf{M}emory (CRIM), a fra...

A transcriber listening through one microphone also hears everyone near it. We train causal voice isolators: masking transformers of 140M, 243M and 374M parameters, 20 ms of latency, enrolling the caller from the call itself. Short evaluation windows hide two failures that real calls expose: forgetting the caller when...
Emotion recognition in artworks remains challenging because affective meaning is often subjective, implicit, and shaped by relationships between visual form and semantic associations. While vision-language models provide strong multimodal representations, direct image-to-emotion prediction may overlook explicit relatio...
