Autonomous scientific discovery with LLMs requires generating and testing hypotheses adaptively as evidence accumulates while maintaining statistical validity. Existing anytime-valid methods can handle data-dependent hypotheses, but open-ended discovery poses a deeper challenge: the best discovered hypothesis may still...
Agents combine reasoning with tools to interact with external systems and complete real-world tasks. Early agents typically interleave reasoning and actions along a single execution chain. On complex tasks, this chain becomes unreliable because growing histories obscure intermediate dependencies and allow early plannin...

Large language model agents are being increasingly deployed as autonomous scientists, designing experiments and inferring mechanistic world models with minimal human oversight. Yet identifiability is often overlooked: when a plateau is reached, the agent needs to know whether it is not yet capable enough or the model s...
Small vision-language models may be able to read external evidence yet struggle to obtain it. We introduce Harness Compilation (HC), an offline procedure that adapts the division of work between a frozen small VLM and its external harness. A large teacher uses student execution traces to revise reusable content and con...

Weight-only post-training quantization (PTQ) relies heavily on reconstruction loss minimization to preserve model quality at low precision. We show that the weights favored by minimizing this loss need not yield better model performance on new tasks. In fact, we find that lower reconstruction loss can even degrade mode...

Long-term Time Series Forecasting (LTSF) tasks, which leverage the current data sequence as input to predict the future sequence, have become increasingly crucial in real-world applications such as weather forecasting and planning of electricity consumption. However, state-of-the-art LTSF models often fail to achieve p...

Persistent memory can improve personalization in LLM agents but can also induce sycophancy and cross-domain leakage. We distinguish two governance decisions: admission, which determines what recalled information enters the working context, and presentation, which determines how admitted information is expressed. We imp...
Non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) is prevalent among adolescents with depression, but the rapid brain-state dynamics linking social distress to maladaptive behavior remain unclear. We combine an experimental pain paradigm, electroencephalography (EEG) microstate analysis, and interpretable deep sequence modeling to inves...

Game commentary is an open-ended generation task requiring multimodal perception, strategic reasoning, and contextual knowledge. Existing AI-Generated Game Commentary (AI-GGC) studies remain fragmented across games, modalities, and evaluation protocols, while overlap-based or holistic evaluators fail to capture the fun...

A verified reference solution provides a correct trajectory for training a reasoning model. Alternatively, a prefix of the reference can guide the model in generating a trajectory of its own. How much reference guidance should we provide? We study this question through prefix continuation, where the model continues fro...
Most human-agent interaction today remains text-based. Natural language can impose cognitive overload, ambiguity, information chaos, and slow input for complex tasks; ephemeral generative UIs can present structured information and guide users toward task completion. We propose GenUI-Harness, a multi-agent harness pairi...

The next frontier for artificial general intelligence is tackling unresolved scientific problems, calling for benchmarks that assess progress beyond established knowledge. We introduce OpenProblemBench, a benchmark of 82 unresolved problems drawn from the mathematics and theoretical physics literature. Each problem sup...

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.
