Researchers increasingly use ChatGPT to revise their papers, and recent GPT versions often narrow or even retract the authors'claims. We call such changes defensive writing when the given material does not support them, and we test two explanations: the model corrects the authors'overclaiming, or it writes for an antic...
Language models (LMs) are commonly trained with Reinforcement Learning with Verifiable Rewards (RLVR) to enhance their reasoning capabilities. However, since RLVR does not explicitly account for calibration during training, it can lead to severe calibration degradation, including overconfidence. Recent calibration-awar...
Self-evolving LLM agents promise to improve autonomously through continual interaction and learning, reducing their dependence on manually curated supervision. Realizing this promise requires not only updating the agent, but also evolving its training experience as its capabilities change. However, most existing pipeli...

Physics-based models connect scientific explanation with quantitative prediction. Constructing them requires selecting physical processes, defining states and governing equations, specifying couplings, and identifying parameters from experiments. Existing AI systems remain limited in making these model structure decisi...

In LLM-based agent systems, failures can originate from early steps whose effects propagate through subsequent interactions, making their origins difficult to identify. To trace such failures back to their origin, failure attribution has been formulated as the task of identifying the earliest step responsible for the f...

AI services incur inference costs during execution, while revenue may arrive later. Changing API prices, limited upfront capital, and service failures can limit operators' ability to sustain or expand their services. Beyond reducing per-request costs, operators need to plan future spending, fund execution before revenu...
Advances in foundation models are driving efforts to introduce agents to assist people in the physical world. Such agents require agentic spatial intelligence: exploring unfamiliar environments, updating spatial understanding through interaction, and adapting actions based on feedback to sustain progress toward a seque...

Single-cell snapshot data can resolve a continuum of cellular states but do not uniquely determine the dynamics governing transitions between them. However, additional dynamical information can often be encoded in a cell-cell Markov transition kernel. Existing generative approaches for single cell trajectory inference...
Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) architectures have become essential for scaling large language models, with recent work demonstrating the benefits of fine-grained expert designs. Training such models from scratch is expensive, and sparse upcycling from pre-trained dense models is an attractive alternative. However, we identif...

Large-scale construction of medical vision-language model (VLM) benchmarks is increasingly feasible with richly annotated imaging datasets and large language models (LLMs), yet existing automation largely focuses on generating evaluation items within predefined benchmark specifications. We study the broader problem of...

Voice agents are converging on a collaboration pattern: a full-duplex interaction model stays on the live channel as the entry to the conversation, while search, reasoning, and coding are handled through asynchronous delegation. A duplex model supports continuous listening and speaking, but complex reasoning and tool u...

Presolve strongly affects mixed-integer programming (MIP) performance, yet learning-based methods only optimize parameter configurations and cannot express the non-commutative temporal dependencies among actions, whose default order is nearly unique on most domains, yet functionally necessary: artificially shuffling th...
Machine-learning networks can learn without detailed instructions from a designer. Those that do may offer insight into how the brain reorganizes itself during learning.
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.
