ALPS: Measuring Valid Creativity in Large Language Models with Mathematical Construction

Large language models produce outputs presented as discoveries - new proofs, conjectures, or molecules. Whether such an output that appears creative is truly original and effective is hard to establish: open-ended outputs require subjective judgment, the output may replicate something seen in training, or the task may...

Capturing In-Context Learning Dynamics with Task Operators

In-context learning (ICL) enables language models to perform new tasks from demonstrations without weight updates. However, every ICL inference requires processing the full set of examples, resulting in inefficient deployments, and how ICL works mechanistically is not fully understood. Prior work compresses ICL into fi...

LabBook: Harnessing Experimental History for Efficient LLM-Driven Discovery

Evolutionary approaches to LLM-driven discovery often generate new programs from a small set of selected ancestors. This keeps contexts manageable but can omit useful evidence from other experiments, whereas including the full experimental history produces long, redundant contexts. We introduce a simple, single-agent d...

From World Models to World Action Models: Rethinking Next-State Prediction

CF-WAM is proposed, a dynamic next-state prediction framework that samples visual, semantic, geometric, and interaction projections of the same future, standardizes them into a common video form, and supervises a unified WAM across these projections.

Rethinking Reasoning Paths as Phase-Structured Trajectories

This work proposes to view reasoning paths as phase-structured trajectories within fixed questions as PAIR, short for Phase-Aligned Intra-question Reasoning, and improves within-question trajectory ranking and Best-of-N trajectory selection across models and benchmarks.

Concept-Residual Representation Expansion for Robustness to Spurious Correlations

Concept-Residual eXpansion (CRX), a concept-augmented framework that improves robustness by expanding the set of candidate predictive features by improving robustness to spurious correlations, is proposed.
