Conversational versus Dashboard Explainable AI for UAV Intrusion Detection: An Empirical Study of Operator Trust and Reliance

Machine learning-based Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) have demonstrated superior performance in securing Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) networks. However, the 'black-box' nature of these models, combined with the high dimensionality of multimodal cyber-physical data, poses significant interpretability challenges. Sta...

Solver-Aware Decompositions for Programming-by-Example: When Dividing Requires Knowing how to Conquer

Decomposition-based Programming-by-example (PBE) scales performance by splitting tasks into subtasks that a learned synthesizer solves: a decomposer predicts intermediate subgoals, and a synthesizer generates programs conditioned on them. Execution-decomposition approaches such as ExeDec train the decomposer to imitate...

Masked Diffusion Language Models are Strong and Steerable Text-Based World Models for Agentic RL

Recent growth in reinforcement learning (RL) has surfaced a need for diverse, specialized training environments. Hand-curated environments with fixed task and reward difficulties become ineffective signals as model performance improves, and sparse rewards over long horizons induce mode collapse on specific workflows or...

VLA Grounder: Language-Conditioning Space Optimization for Black-Box VLA Models

Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models are commonly treated as end-to-end action policies conditioned on natural-language task descriptions. In practice, however, their behavior often depends sharply on how the instruction is phrased, suggesting that language is not merely a task label but an optimizable conditioning inpu...

EgoBench: An Interactive Egocentric Multimodal Benchmark for Tool-Using Agents

As AI agents increasingly operate in open, real-world environments, they require a deep synergy of multimodal perception, tool invocation with multi-hop reasoning, and dynamic interaction with users. However, existing benchmarks fail to jointly evaluate these capabilities due to challenges in designing strictly coupled...

MedMemoryBench: Benchmarking Agent Memory in Personalized Healthcare

The large-scale deployment of personalized healthcare agents demands memory mechanisms that are exceptionally precise, safe, and capable of long-term clinical tracking. However, existing benchmarks primarily focus on daily open-domain conversations, failing to capture the high-stakes complexity of real-world medical ap...

LiteGUI: Lightweight GUI Agents via Multi-Solution Guided Distillation and Dual-Level Reinforcement Learning

We present LiteGUI, a new framework for building lightweight GUI agents. GUI interaction poses unique challenges due to the long-horizon nature of complex tasks and the existence of multiple valid interaction paths, which are difficult for lightweight GUI agents to handle effectively. To address these challenges, LiteG...

Beyond Fixed Benchmarks and Worst-Case Attacks: Dynamic Boundary Evaluation for Language Models

Evaluating large language models (LLMs) today rests on fixed benchmarks that apply the same set of items to any model, producing ceiling and floor effects that mask capability gaps. We argue that the most informative evaluation signal lies at the boundary, where the per-prompt pass probability is near $0.5$ under rando...

Can Large Language Models Reinvent Foundational Algorithms?

LLMs have shown strong potential to advance scientific discovery. Whether they possess the capacity for foundational innovation, however, remains an open question. In this work, we focus on a prerequisite for foundational innovation: \textit{can LLMs reinvent foundational algorithms in computer science?} We use LLM unl...

Soft Tournament Equilibrium: Differentiable Set-Valued Inference for Non-Transitive Pairwise Comparisons

Soft Tournament Equilibrium (STE) is a differentiable layer for Top-Cycle (TC) and Uncovered-Set (UC) inference from reciprocal pair probabilities. Normalized log-sum-exp reachability and covering give smooth scores with approximation, perturbation, and margin-recovery bounds. We distinguish structural supervision, pos...

Beyond Preset Identities: Selective Stance Accommodation and Interaction Reorganisation in Generative Agent Societies

Generative agent societies simulate people with assigned roles, preferences and relationships. As agents exchange arguments and choose partners, they can revise their positions and reorganise discussion. Understanding these changes requires examining what they accept and how they continue to interact. Stance-change sco...

Efficient Dense Crowd Trajectory Prediction Via Dynamic Clustering

Crowd trajectory prediction plays a crucial role in public safety and management, where it can help prevent disasters such as stampedes. Recent works address the problem by predicting individual trajectories and considering surrounding objects based on manually annotated data. However, these approaches tend to overlook...
