We evaluate whether AI agents can match the reported findings of published biomedical studies using public data. Existing evaluations do not consistently separate analysis from prior knowledge or retrieval of the published answer. We introduce BioStudyBench, a benchmark of 25 long-horizon analysis tasks drawn from stud...

This paper establishes a theoretical framework for vertical adaptive layer skipping, proving three foundational results: (i) an Expected FLOPs formula (theorem 2) giving a closed-form expression for the computational cost of arbitrary per-sample skip schedules as a function of layer-wise skip probabilities; (ii) functi...
Reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR) provides a natural framework for adapting pretrained models to video temporal grounding, where generated temporal intervals can be scored directly against ground truth intervals. Yet existing overlap verifiers typically score each rollout independently, leaving the...

Direct Preference Optimization (DPO) has become a standard reward-model-free approach for aligning language models with preference data. However, as the scaled preference margin grows during training, the logistic DPO loss becomes progressively less sensitive to further changes. We study DPO from a loss-level geometric...

Quantitative imaging pipelines can produce precise but systematically different measurements of the same object. We present an empirical reliability assessment of three-dimensional mitochondrial morphometry that connects representation bias, a controlled processing intervention, correction transfer, and resolution sens...
In cooperative Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning (MARL), agents are often trained under concurrent participation, while in many tasks some agents act earlier and leave task-relevant information that becomes useful to agents participating later. We study this setting as staggered participation (SP), which introduces a...
In clinical practice, agreement among independent experts is treated as evidence of reliability, and multi-round consensus has become a core mechanism of agentic medical question-answering systems. When such a system must decide whether to trust its own answer, the prevailing signal is again agreement, now among the sa...

Goal-directed molecular design has advanced rapidly, yet a substantial proportion of designed molecules remain difficult to synthesize in practice, limiting their real-world utility. Prior synthesizability-aware methods either project generated molecules back to synthesizable analogs that deviate from the intended targ...
Learned orchestration can automatically construct effective language-model multi-agent systems, but existing approaches couple planning to fixed worker pools and train decomposition and collaboration from the same terminal outcome, limiting transfer and obscuring credit assignment. We introduce DeOrch, which separates...
Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly used to judge how well an advertisement matches a query, but the fairness of these judgments has received limited attention. We conduct a systematic study of fairness in relevance judgments made by LLMs for queries and advertisements. Our counterfactual framework examines t...

Driving models increasingly ground reasoning in causal relations, spatial structure, perceptual evidence, and predicted futures. These advances make reasoning more faithful to the driving scene, but leave a fundamental question unresolved: what should groundedness mean when the model ultimately outputs an action? Corre...

A vision-language model may need to combine an image with a prompt to recognize a safety risk that neither reveals alone. Where does this joint safety judgment become accessible inside the model? We introduce SSU-Bench, a dataset of matched safe and unsafe image-text combinations constructed using single-item prompt ed...

With $2.1 million funding from Google.org, the open-source Public Transit Intelligence Hub will unify public transit monitoring, operations, and passenger communication.
Professor Sherry Turkle’s new book, “Artificial Intimacy,” offers a withering critique of chatbots and the antisocial dynamics she believes they encourage.
