Researchers used evolutionary game theory to model when a harm-minimizing AI agent can outcompete an approval-seeking (RLHF) agent in a competitive market. They found adoption depends on specific properties of community …
Researchers developed a self-supervised theorem-discovery algorithm that starts from axioms and inference rules alone, autonomously building a library of useful theorems. The agent discovered tens of thousands of theorem…
Researchers used polynomial algebra to study critical points in deep monomial networks, finding that for large activation degrees, criticality occurs at subnetworks where neurons are inactive or redundant. This provides …

Researchers introduced SciDraw-Bench, a benchmark for evaluating scientific figure generation by text-to-image and multimodal models, covering 32 tasks across eight figure types and ten disciplines. In a pilot study, a d…
Researchers propose a gravitational interpretation of fine-tuning reversion, where large early training phases create dominant behavioral manifolds that later fine-tuning reverts toward. They identify a reversion directi…
Researchers propose Hierarchical Temporal Fusion (HTF), an extension of the Temporal Fusion Transformer that integrates hierarchical embeddings and a coherence-aware loss function to enforce forecast consistency across h…
Researchers evaluated the phonological perception of deep learning models for sign language recognition, finding that pose-based models are sensitive to handshape contrasts while pixel-based models better capture locatio…
Researchers propose RSGPNet, a training-free geometric prompting framework for open-vocabulary semantic segmentation in remote sensing, which improves segmentation accuracy by leveraging object geometric areas and consis…
Researchers propose AnTenA, a system that uses large language models to explain hidden patterns in multi-aspect data without relying on potentially inaccurate labels or metadata. The system employs tensor decomposition a…
Researchers introduced turn-averaged sparse autoencoders (SAEs) that represent entire conversational turns with fixed feature sets, improving interpretability of long-context language models. The method outperforms per-t…
Researchers propose DCSNet, an end-to-end framework for small object segmentation in medical imaging that integrates Detection-guided Hierarchical Cropping and Multiscale Feature Aggregation to overcome class imbalance a…
Researchers at arXiv propose that meta-learning, or learning to learn, may explain why human visual representations are more flexible than those of pretrained neural networks. By training a sequence model on thousands of…
Researchers submitted a system to the SoccerNet 2026 Player-Centric Ball Action Spotting challenge that uses a two-stage pipeline with per-player attention and agreement-based ensembling, improving Macro-F1 from 48.6 to …
