A new study from arXiv (2608.07528v1) finds that linear probes detect corrupted context in language models with near-perfect accuracy but fail to predict final answer correctness, revealing a 'knowing-saying gap' across …
Agent-MD, a framework that selectively applies large language model reasoning to campaign construction and event-triggered review while routine simulation is handled by a rule-based agent, completed a 120-cycle GCMC-MD w…
Researchers introduced Mendel Gödel Machine (MGM), a self-improving coding agent that uses comparative evolution to rewrite its own source code, achieving faster and better convergence than single-trajectory baselines. T…
A study from the AI City Challenge 2026 Track 1 finds that a geometry-first RGB-only pipeline achieves 13.0 3D HOTA (51.6 LocA) in multi-camera 3D tracking under Sim2Real, while a pseudo-LiDAR approach using monocular de…

Researchers introduced SIGIL, a framework that maps any attributed graph to a unified representation space of fixed dimension, enabling graph neural networks to generalize to new graphs with unseen feature spaces. SIGIL …
Researchers introduced the first application of program embeddings from LLMCompiler, an LLM pretrained on intermediate representation (IR) code, to program analysis and optimization tasks. Combining source and IR code em…
Researchers propose path-dependent discrete amortized inference, a method that lifts the Markov Decision Process (MDP) with a learnable latent dynamical system to allow the policy to depend on the entire past trajectory,…
A multi-scale stacking ensemble for credit risk scoring reached test ROC-AUC 0.9539 and PR-AUC 0.9137 on a 32,581-application dataset, beating the best single model by Delta-AUC 0.0143, but an audit of LLM-generated expl…
