NavGPT-3: Harnessing Context in a Hierarchical Navigation Runtime

NavGPT-3 is presented, a harness that connects the two models, with an OS-like runtime built above it: reasoning, acting, and monitoring run as threads with their own context, tools, and permissions, while the runtime schedules them and decides which thread controls the robot's motion, so that the robot can react to su...

VICO: Visual Environments Co-Evolving for Vision-Language Model Reasoning

Reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR) has become a standard recipe for post-training vision-language models (VLMs), but it typically assumes a static training environment. As the actor improves, fixed tasks drift out of its learning frontier: many become trivial, others remain unsolvable; and the learni...

MemoWM: How World Models Change What Agents Need to Remember

Long-term agents face growing storage demands as they accumulate experience. World models capture reusable regularities that can reduce the information stored for each experience. We formulate the problem of memory allocation conditioned on a world model and introduce MemoWM, a framework that uses shared predictions to...

AI-Mediated Self: How HCI Defines and Relates to the Self

How might AI alter how we understand and experience the self? This scoping review analyzes 102 papers to examine how the self is defined in the field of human-computer interaction (HCI), how AI-self relationships are conceptualized, and what risks emerge when AI becomes entangled with selfhood. Our synthesis makes thre...

Clarify, Then Focus: Statement Normalization for Conversation Analytics at Scale

A simple principle is proposed: clarify the text, then focus the reader, sharing this preparation across questions supports an inference pipeline built entirely from small models, making analytics over millions of conversations substantially less expensive.

BRANCH: Bypassing Multi-Scanner AI Guardrails

AI systems increasingly rely on Large Language Models (LLMs) as core reasoning engines, making them targets for prompt injection and jailbreaks. Guardrails monitor and validate model inputs and outputs, yet their isolated, task-focused detection leaves gaps in their classification making them susceptible to bypasses. I...

Conversational Task Disambiguation over Tabular Data: Leakage-Aware Formulation, Benchmark Suite, and Training

Conversational task disambiguation over tabular data uses dialogue to resolve missing information about a user's intended task before producing a solution over tables or databases. Existing evaluation and training lack a leakage-aware foundation. Task success mixes the agent's disambiguation and solution-generation cap...

LinSlot: Exploiting Linear Representation hypothesis for unsupervised attribute discovery from slot based object representation

This paper studies the problem of learning disentangled representations of objects and their attributes from raw, unstructured image data. Slot-based methods have shown considerable success in unsupervised learning of object representations from images. Block-slot attention-based methods extend this framework to attrib...

Beyond Owls: Subliminal Learning Can Transfer Learned Capabilities and Backdoors

In subliminal learning (SL), a teacher model passes on a trait to a student model by distillation on data semantically unrelated to the trait. So far, SL has been demonstrated for only a limited range of traits, including preferences for animals (e.g., owls) and malicious personas. These traits can also be elicited wit...

Nullify: Null-Space Activation Steering for Training-Free LLM Unlearning

By avoiding weight updates entirely, Nullify serves as an efficient, plug-and-play inference-time intervention framework for LLM unlearning, and matches or surpasses established baselines in forget quality while achieving near-lossless preservation of model utility.

Beyond the Ergodic Wall: A Discrete Geometric Physics Sandbox for Analysing AI Scaling Limits and Complexity Collapse

This paper exposes the ergodic ceiling and thermodynamic inefficiency of current deep learning, which converges to a statistical average of historic human knowledge. True semantic novelty requires a path-dependent, spatiotemporally bounded observer (a Data LifeCone) to inject non-ergodic insight, achieving KL divergenc...

Masked Generative Motion Planning with Geometry-Guided Token Search

Generative motion planners typically use learned trajectory priors for initial generation, while leaving test-time repair to local continuous refinement. We introduce Masked Generative Motion Planning (MGMP), which extends the learned prior from efficient parallel generation to structural repair. A masked generative tr...
