The Operator Mismatch Problem: Deploying BEV Perception with Portable GPU Compute

Modern autonomous driving systems rely on bird's-eye-view (BEV) perception models that fuse camera and LiDAR inputs to detect objects in 3D space. These models are accurate, but they cannot be deployed through standard inference runtimes. The reason is an operator mismatch between dense convolutions (which runtimes han...

Fed-GRPO: Reward-Signal-Driven Federated Group Relative Policy Optimization

Large Language Models (LLMs) have shown strong reasoning capabilities when fine-tuned with reinforcement learning (RL), particularly through Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO). However, existing GRPO methods assume centralized access to training data, which may not hold in practice due to privacy or regulatory c...

BridgeGuard: Explicit Safety Drift for Diffusion-based Autonomous Driving

Diffusion-based driving planners capture diverse behaviors but can generate unsafe trajectories under distribution shift. We propose BridgeGuard, a safety-constrained diffusion planning method that progressively strengthens a constraint term during denoising to drive intermediate trajectories toward a scene-dependent s...

From Chain-of-Thought to Loops: Non-Autoregressive Latent Reasoning via Looped Transformers

Chain-of-thought (CoT) reasoning often improves language-model performance by giving models additional computation before answering. However, explicit CoT expresses this computation as a sequence of autoregressively generated tokens. Latent reasoning replaces these tokens with compact continuous states, but most autore...

Who Verifies the Verifier? Co-Evolving Inspectable Graders with Self-Improving Agents

We changed the agent: did it actually get better? Every self-improving agent loop answers this hundreds of times, and every answer comes from a verifier. On open-ended tasks none exists, so the loop is handed a hand-written rubric or a bare LLM judge grading output from a model like itself, inviting reward hacking and...

SpikeSSL: A Universal Spike Inference Framework with Dynamics-Informed State-Space Layers

Two-photon calcium imaging is a standard tool for recording large neural populations in vivo, yet inferring spikes accurately across the growing diversity of calcium indicators remains an open problem. Existing supervised methods achieve reasonable in-domain accuracy but generalize poorly to unseen indicators, because...

Tracing the Thoughts of a Coding Agent Playing ARC-AGI-3: Lessons for Continual Learning

We study how a coding agent learns across a sequence of abstract reasoning tasks. The agent runs on a frozen foundation model inside a fixed harness and acts by writing and running Python and shell scripts. It retains no state across turns other than its written artifacts, so every thought it forms, carries, corrects o...

Why machines will still not rule the world

In our book Why machines will never rule the world [13, 14] we argue that arti- ficial general intelligence is mathematically impossible. This is because the human beings and the processes which exhibit intelligence are complex systems whose be- haviour cannot be captured by the kinds of models that we can generate wit...

Cognition-Oriented Emotion Tracing from Causes to Consequences in Real-World Social Scenes

Affective computing has progressed from categorical emotion recognition to open-ended affective analysis with large multimodal models. Yet affective science describes emotion as an unfolding process shaped by appraisal, regulation, and social interpretation, which remains underexplored computationally. We propose TRACE...

Estimating great expectations under autoregressive language models with potentials

Many applications of language models hinge not on individual samples but on the expectation of a test functional under the model. Estimating such expectations reliably can be computationally expensive. In this paper, we show how to make estimation more efficient by exploiting the next-token conditional probabilities wh...

TypedBench: A Benchmark for Calibration, Framing Sensitivity, and Cost in System One Decision Models

System One models output calibrated probabilities over typed answers such as categorical choices, ordinal levels, or binary outcomes, via a non-generative interface. Software can act on these probabilities through thresholds, cost-weighted choices, and escalation rules. Consequently, if these probabilities are miscalib...

Environmental Feedback Modeling Matters: Rethinking Feedback Treatment in Agentic Hindsight Self-Distillation

Reinforcement learning is commonly used to train language agents in interactive environments, but cannot be directly applied when rewards are unavailable. Recent methods use environmental feedback as privileged context for hindsight self-distillation, but our analysis suggests that simply conditioning the teacher on fe...

Who we become when we talk to machines

Professor Sherry Turkle’s new book, “Artificial Intimacy,” offers a withering critique of chatbots and the antisocial dynamics she believes they encourage.
