Attacca: Goal-Directed Control under State Continuity for Long-Horizon Embodied Agents

A central capability of embodied agents is to accomplish complex objectives through sequences of interdependent tasks. Yet existing visual goal-conditioned policies underlying these agents are typically evaluated on isolated interactions where the target is already visible, and thus do not capture the conditions that a...

OTel: Open Telco AI Datasets, Benchmarks, and Models

We present Open Telco (OTel), an open telecom AI resource that releases derived telecom datasets for retrieval, reranking, instruction tuning, and safety/abstention, together with 30 full-parameter post-trained baselines spanning 10 embedding models, 3 rerankers, and 17 language models. The community has already engage...

ST-Bench: A Spatial-Temporal Benchmark for Multi-Agent System Generation on Scientific Research Tasks

The rapid progress of LLM-based multi-agent systems (MAS) has shown that they largely outperform single agents on coding, math, and QA tasks, where executable tests provide a binary success signal. Whether this advantage transfers to real scientific data analysis remains untested. We introduce ST-Bench, a benchmark des...

How Well Do LLMs Reason with Noisy Evidence? An Active Visual Reasoning Benchmark

Real-world reasoning rarely reduces to static question answering: agents must actively gather information from tools and sensors that are often noisy and unreliable. Yet most existing active reasoning benchmarks assume that environmental feedback is trustworthy, or introduce noise without exposing an explicit, calibrat...

PERSIST: Who-What-When Memory Across Sessions for Full-Duplex Spoken Dialogue

Modern voice assistants may be shared by multiple users and should be able to answer questions about earlier conversations such as "When did I originally plan to leave?" or adapt their behavior to individual users based on past interactions. This requires more than retrieving a topically similar passage: the assistant...

Evidence Before Sampling: Interpretable Implicit Negative Candidate Discovery for Recommendation

Recommender systems learn from observed user-item interactions, but explicit negative feedback is often unavailable. Since deep learning models require negative signals for training, negative sampling methods typically treat selected unobserved interactions as negatives. However, a missing interaction does not explain...

AgentMemGate: Addressing Speculation Contamination in Conversational Assistant Memory

Conversational AI assistants with long-term memory extract facts from user messages into a store consulted in later conversations. A stated plan can enter that store as fact: a user who might move to Seattle may be recorded as already living there. We call this speculation contamination. Final-state memory benchmarks m...

On the Boundary of Admission Gates: An Injected-Truth Study of Falsification-First Selection in Quantitative Strategy Research

Strategy research conflates two problems: finding a profitable rule, and establishing that the finding is not search luck. The latter calls for admission gates -- statistical criteria that must be satisfied before a conclusion is adopted -- yet whether gates work, and at what cost, remains untested. We introduce an inj...

BluffJAX: Adversarial Imperfect Information Games in JAX

We introduce BluffJAX: an open-source suite of adversarial imperfect information games in JAX. We provide canonical implementations of games designed for high simulation throughputs and parallelization on GPU accelerators. Our suite consists of well-studied benchmarks such as Texas Hold'Em Poker and Kuhn Poker, as well...

Matching Object or Relation? Tracing Abstract Reasoning Inside VLMs

Vision Language Models (VLMs) excel on visual benchmarks but fail systematically on tasks requiring abstract reasoning. Existing benchmarks document this failure but cannot say \emph{why} it happens or which cognitive capability is missing. We close this gap by adopting the Relational Match-to-Sample (RMTS) paradigm fr...

Measuring climate backlash in Twitter and Reddit archives: Lexical definitions, recorded responses and participant turnover

Social media archives are often used to study resistance to climate action, but words, response counters and observed participants do not measure the same social process. We examine four supplied Twitter and Reddit archives by processing all registered files without sampling and applying transparent, non-exclusive lexi...

Learning to Outgrow a Theory: Experimental Discovery Beyond the Initial Hypothesis Space

Scientific discovery systems typically optimize experiments within a fixed hypothesis space. This creates a failure mode when all available candidates omit the same missing mechanism: candidate disagreement can collapse even while the model class is systematically wrong. We formulate experimental model-class revision,...

Who we become when we talk to machines

Professor Sherry Turkle’s new book, “Artificial Intimacy,” offers a withering critique of chatbots and the antisocial dynamics she believes they encourage.
