Android agents using a hybrid action space that combines GUI actions and tool actions (e.g., accessing application data via APIs) remain largely underexplored, mainly due to the excessive effort required to create tools. To address this gap, we introduce DroidTool, a framework for augmenting the agents with self-generated tools, which are realized as Python functions operating on application states (e.g., a database). To create tools with minimal human labor, DroidTool employs an agentic workflow featuring stages: proposal, implementation, test generation and execution, and repair. Notably, when testing the created tools for verification, it constructs relational tests across relevant tools for natural preparation of appropriate test preconditions and improved test coverage, rather than testing each tool separately. The GUI agents augmented with the generated tools achieved approximately 4.47%p higher performance with approximately 20.05% fewer interactions than the GUI-only agents, averaged across representative benchmarks: AndroidWorld, B-MoCA, and MobileSafetyBench.
GAOKAO-Bench is introduced, an intuitive benchmark that employs questions from the Chinese GAOKAO examination as test samples, including both subjective and objective questions that contribute a robust evaluation benchmark for future large language models and offers valuable insights into the advantages and limitations...

This work proposes a HALO that directly maximizes the utility of generations instead of maximizing the log-likelihood of preferences, and suggests that the best loss depends on the inductive biases most appropriate for a given setting, an oft-overlooked consideration.
This work investigates the possibilities of using LLMs in a resume screening setting via a document retrieval framework that simulates job candidate selection and finds that the MTEs are biased, significantly favoring White-associated names in 85% of cases and female-associated names in only 11.1% of cases.
This work shows that orders of magnitude enhancement in performance could be obtained by a combination of hardware improvements and tight quantum-HPC integration and introduces high-performance architectures for quantum-probabilistic computing with custom-designed accelerators to tackle today's industry-scale classical...

This paper presents a comprehensive overview of the Ultralytics YOLO family, emphasizing architectural evolution, benchmarking, deployment, and emerging directions from YOLOv5 through YOLO27, and examines detection, segmentation, depth, classification, pose, oriented detection, tracking, export, quantization, and deplo...
This work revisits schema linking when using the latest generation of large language models (LLMs) and finds empirically that newer models are adept at utilizing relevant schema elements during generation even in the presence of large numbers of irrelevant ones.
