arXiv:2609.05435v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Modern language agents are expected to operate over long horizons: they ask follow-up questions, reuse worked examples, handle tool feedback, and adapt to delayed consequences. Most evaluations still reset the agent after a prompt or score only the final state of one trajectory. AhaBench asks a more operational question: when a fixed model receives useful experience, does its later behavior improve under a related evaluation condition where the obv
arXiv:2609.05575v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Understanding how concepts are encoded in the internal representations of machine learning models is a central problem in mechanistic interpretability, essential both for the science of deep learning and for the trustworthy deployment of increasingly capable models. Existing approaches to interpret model representations mainly map representations onto more interpretable spaces and do not directly characterize how concepts occupy representation spac
arXiv:2609.05650v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We propose a reinforcement learning framework in which exploration is driven by intrinsic curiosity, designed for scenarios where environments are non-stationary and rewards are sparse, delayed, uninformative, or absent. In our model, action selection is guided by a combination of external rewards and an epistemic motivation mechanism that biases the agent toward structured exploratory directions. The central hypothesis is that effective exploratio
arXiv:2609.05658v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly being explored for automating SystemVerilog Assertion (SVA) generation, yet most evaluations report correctness on a single syntactic representation of an input. Such point accuracy does not reveal whether a model's correct output is stable when the same RTL behavior is written differently. This paper presents a controlled metamorphic evaluation of LLM-based SVA generation under semantics-preserving RTL
arXiv:2609.05688v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We study variance-preserving diffusion of the response in mixed linear regression (MLR) with unknown mixing weights. Our analysis separates the statistical guarantees of score matching from the loss geometry and optimization signal at a fixed diffusion noise level. The KL divergence links the denoising score matching objective integrated over the diffusion path with the likelihood and a terminal discrepancy. Under mild regularity conditions and ter
arXiv:2609.05694v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Predicting olfactory qualities from molecular structure is an open problem in chemoinformatics. Although linear models can link molecular features to odor descriptors, they often fail when extrapolating to novel chemical scaffolds, extreme molecular weights, or complex odor mixtures. To address this, we introduce GraphNOSE, an open-source graph transformer framework that predicts multi-label odor descriptors from simplified molecular-input line-ent
arXiv:2609.05698v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The paper introduces a neural network-based approach for analyzing ECG signals to estimate respiratory rate by leveraging the phe- nomenon of Respiratory Sinus Arrhythmia (RSA). Our method employs a deep learning model trained to predict respiratory waveforms directly from ECG input data. To achieve this, we developed and evaluated three different neural network architectures capable of automatically extract- ing relevant features from ECG signals
arXiv:2609.05727v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We develop Newton Matching, a unified framework for fine-tuning and sampling in generative modeling. The target is $\pi\propto\mu e^{\tau r}$, where $r$ is the reward, $\tau>0$ the inverse temperature, and $\mu$ denotes the pretrained model's terminal density for fine-tuning or the constant $1$ for sampling. We shift the paradigm from isolated losses to iterative optimization over canonical models: population minimizers of standard conditional matc
arXiv:2609.05766v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The dominant approach to building domain-specific pretraining corpora is to filter large web archives such as CommonCrawl. This works well for popular domains but breaks down for specialized ones, where relevant content is sparse and often beyond the reach of popularity-driven crawlers. We present Data Scout, which inverts this: instead of filtering an archive, it directs a targeted crawl. An LLM expands a root topic into a taxonomy and thousands o
arXiv:2609.05770v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Differentially private (DP) fine-tuning methods treat sparse Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) models as a single dense block, ignoring that shared layers see all data while experts only see routed records. We identify and formally characterize three resulting failure modes: global clipping suppresses expert gradients, batch-level normalization dilutes sparse expert updates, and fixed privacy noise degrades signal-to-noise ratio on low-load experts. We intr
arXiv:2609.05820v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We study adaptive routing of prompts to large language model (LLM) experts to maximize response quality in an online setting with limited feedback. We formulate it as a bandit problem with $K$ actions that represent experts and $d$ features that encode prompts, over a horizon of $T$ rounds. We propose algorithms that strategically select and observe rewards to minimize regret. In the full-information setting, we achieve a regret of $\tilde{O}(d T /
arXiv:2609.05822v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Deploying advanced HVAC (Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning) controllers at scale remains difficult because performance often depends on accurate building models or per-site retuning. We propose NOMAD-RL (Neural Online Meta-Adaptation for Dynamics), a general-purpose Reinforcement Learning (RL) controller designed to transfer across heterogeneous thermal zones through a universal, non-invasive thermostat interface. The controller acts on tem
arXiv:2609.05826v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Dynamic programming for optimal classification trees becomes computationally expensive as the numbers of features and training samples increase. We develop a joint feature- and sample-space reduction framework based on STreeD. Weighted STreeD merges duplicate records created after projection onto a fixed candidate set into weighted representatives. This reduces sample-dependent computation without changing the fixed-candidate optimization problem.
arXiv:2609.05850v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Despite the significant efforts devoted to aligning large language models (LLMs) with human values and ensuring safe deployment, recent work has revealed that LLMs remain vulnerable to adversarial jailbreak attacks that can bypass safety guardrails and elicit harmful responses. Many defense methods are proposed to detect jailbreaks but they are limited in their effectiveness to counter wide-range optimization-based jailbreak mechanisms that can yie
arXiv:2609.05860v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Neural operators that accept arbitrary meshes are often treated as geometry-general, but unseen domain topology changes both the invariant and decaying subspaces of a PDE operator. We use Hodge heat flow as a controlled lens on this distinction and introduce TopoBox-3D, where tunnels and cavities vary Betti support while the exact Hodge decomposition separates the harmonic kernel from the positive spectrum. Across six architectures, models that inf
arXiv:2609.05877v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Selecting compact training sets for machine-learned interatomic potentials requires deciding whether to preserve structural diversity or target configurations on which models disagree. The better choice can depend on how much data is retained, making a comparison at one training-set size insufficient. Here we link selection criteria to prediction accuracy through a budget-resolved comparison of retrained MACE models on GAP-20 Carbon and pooled revi
arXiv:2609.05880v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Piping and Instrumentation Diagrams (P&IDs) are the authoritative maps of process plants: isolation, maintenance, and HAZOP decisions depend on what connects to what. Vision-language models describe these sheets fluently, yet they often invent or miss process connections---and an invented or missed link can reverse an isolation or reachability call, so a plant decision cannot trust a fluent answer that was never checked against the linework. We ins
arXiv:2609.05885v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Low-rank adaptation (LoRA) has become the standard for parameter-efficient fine-tuning of large language models. Most LoRA variants follow a uniform-LR convention, applying a single global learning rate across every rank-one component of every adapter. We show that this convention overlooks substantial within-module heterogeneity, where the rank-one components of a LoRA adapter update at highly uneven rates and low-velocity modules converge to conc
arXiv:2609.05895v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We study a finite-horizon online resource allocation problem with initial resource capacities proportional to the horizon. In each period, a request type is observed and one action is chosen from a finite menu. Each action earns a reward and consumes a vector of resources. The arrival types are independent and identically distributed, but their probabilities are unknown. We present a primal first-order learning policy that, in each period, performs
arXiv:2609.05933v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Efficiency is increasingly important for Large Language Model (LLM)-based multi-agent systems (MAS), as larger models and more agents introduce substantial execution costs. Recent methods aim to make MAS cheaper by pruning agents, removing communication edges, or searching for compact structures. However, we argue that existing evaluations may overestimate their true ability to improve MAS efficiency. Reported gains are often measured under method-
