Deploying large language models in production often requires constraining outputs to structured formats such as JSON or XML, and prior work treats the resulting accuracy loss as an inherent `structure tax'. We re-examine this claim by evaluating a battery of models, datasets and schemas, measuring task accuracy, confid...
Increasingly, AI interviewers are being developed to elicit open-ended responses in applications like market research, public polling, preference elicitation, and social science research. However, evaluating AI interviewers is challenging because they function in extended, multi-turn interactions where they must adapt...

Predictive representation learning from photoplethysmography (PPG) can violate causal information access even with causal attention, as normalization, nonlocal transforms, or companion views may depend on withheld samples. We introduce PulseBound, a PPG representation learner combining physiologically structured future...

Abstract argumentation frameworks (AFs) introduced by Dung provide a formal foundation for non-monotonic reasoning in artificial intelligence. While decision problems for general infinite AFs typically reside at high levels of the analytical hierarchy ($\Sigma_1^1$ or $\Pi_1^1$), restricting the framework to be computa...

PDE solution discovery aims to identify explicit symbolic expressions for unknown physical fields from observations under known physical constraints. Existing methods, however, collapse data fidelity and physical consistency into a single terminal score used as the sole feedback signal, providing little information abo...

On-policy distillation (OPD) trains a student on its own generated responses using token-level teacher supervision. However, uniform weighting overlooks differences in token learning value, while existing weighting methods rely on predefined mappings from prediction signals to token weights. These mappings are not lear...

Research idea innovation is a fundamental engine of scientific progress, yet it remains difficult to generate and evaluate in a scalable and controllable way. This challenge lies in its inherently open-ended and multi-objective nature, where ideas should balance novelty, plausibility and feasibility. While recent LLM-b...

Automated research systems support literature synthesis, ideation, experiments, writing, and peer review, but their evaluation is dispersed across tasks, benchmarks, and studies that are difficult to compare directly. We review this literature from the perspective of evaluation design and evidence, covering six targets...

Mathematicians value proofs for more than correctness: among correct proofs, simplicity, purity and the computational cost of finding them vary widely. Yet LLM-powered theorem provers largely search for any correct proof, and improve its quality only after it is found. We propose LEVER, a proof search algorithm that ma...

Neural networks trained on modular addition tasks often develop Fourier-structured representations that support exact generalization. While prior work has identified these Fourier circuits, the mechanism by which gradient-based training selects them from the data distribution remains unclear. We address this question u...

Learning to act in unfamiliar environments requires agents to infer how the world works and revise that understanding as new evidence arrives. Yet limited observations can support multiple world models that explain past interactions but predict different outcomes in unseen states. We introduce Memento 3, building on th...

Sparse Mixture of Experts (MoE) models scale more efficiently than dense models by routing tokens to modular expert networks that are only active for processing a fraction of tokens. A leading hypothesis for the performance of MoE models is that each expert specialises in a single, coherent domain. However, interpretab...
