CORE-Seg: Reasoning-Driven Segmentation for Complex Lesions via Reinforcement Learning

Medical image segmentation is undergoing a paradigm shift from conventional visual pattern matching to cognitive reasoning analysis. Although Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) have shown promise in integrating linguistic and visual knowledge, significant gaps remain: existing general MLLMs possess broad common s...

Agentic Peer-to-Peer Networks: From Content Distribution to Capability and Action Sharing

The ongoing shift of Artificial Intelligence (AI) from centralized cloud application programming interfaces (APIs) to local inference on edge devices is enabling Client-Side Autonomous Agents (CSAAs) - persistent personal agents that can plan, access local context, and invoke tools on behalf of users. As these agents c...

On the Rate of Convergence of GD in Non-linear Neural Networks: An Adversarial Robustness Perspective

We study the convergence dynamics of Gradient Descent (GD) in a minimal binary classification setting, consisting of a two-neuron ReLU network and two training instances. We prove that even under these strong simplifying assumptions, while GD successfully converges to an optimal robustness margin, effectively maximizin...

Beyond State-Wise Mirror Descent: Offline Policy Optimization with Parametric Policies

We investigate the theoretical aspects of offline reinforcement learning (RL) under general function approximation. While prior works (e.g., Xie et al., 2021) have established the theoretical foundations of learning a good policy from offline data via pessimism, existing algorithms that are computationally tractable (o...

COBALT: Contextual Bandit Learning with Offline Trajectories for Multi-Turn Code Generation

Training large language models (LLMs) for multi-turn code generation typically relies on online reinforcement learning (RL), in which models learn from repeatedly generated online rollouts. Although effective, online RL can be costly and unstable. In this paper, we present contextual bandit learning with offline trajec...

Preference-Conditioned Multi-Objective Reinforcement Learning for Tactical Decision Making in Heavy-Duty Vehicles

A central difficulty in applying reinforcement learning to real-world applications such as autonomous driving is that conventional scalar reward formulations obtained by aggregating multiple often competing objectives may obscure the structure of their trade-offs. These challenges are particularly relevant to decision-...

HAFixAgent: History-Aware Agentic Program Repair

Automated program repair (APR) has recently shifted toward large language models and agent-based systems, while prior work shows that repository history can help repair single-line bugs. We conduct a large-scale empirical study of whether, how much, and under what conditions repository history improves agentic APR beyo...

A Theory of the Mechanics of Information: Generalization Through Measurement of Uncertainty (Learning is Measuring)

Traditional machine learning relies on explicit models and domain assumptions, often limiting flexibility and interpretability. We introduce a "model-free" framework of instance-based learning using surprisal (information theoretic uncertainty) to directly analyze and perform inferences from raw data, eliminating distr...

ABLEIST: Intersectional Disability Bias in LLM-Generated Hiring Scenarios

Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly under scrutiny for perpetuating identity-based discrimination in high-stakes domains such as hiring, particularly against people with disabilities (PwD). However, existing research remains largely Western-centric, overlooking how intersecting forms of marginalization--such...

Discovering Phase Space Structure in Learned Hamiltonian Systems

Mechanics-inspired neural dynamical models improve interpretability and physical consistency, but they usually assume a known configuration space, fixed physical parameters, and deterministic prediction from a prescribed initial condition. We introduce Structured Phase Space GAN (SPS-GAN), a conditional generative mode...

Towards a Measure Theory of Semantic Information

A classic account of the quantification of semantic information is that of Bar-Hiller and Carnap. Their account proposes an inverse relation between the informativeness of a statement and its probability. However, their approach assigns the maximum informativeness to a contradiction: which Floridi refers to as the Bar-...

Regression-adjusted Monte Carlo Estimators for Shapley Values and Probabilistic Values

With origins in game theory, probabilistic values like Shapley values, Banzhaf values, and semi-values have emerged as a central tool in explainable AI. They are used for feature attribution, data attribution, data valuation, and more. Since exact computation can require exponential time, research has focused on effici...
