VideoEvolve: Co-Evolving Memory and Retrieval for Long Video Understanding

Long video understanding increasingly relies on external memory to organize massive visual streams into compact representations. However, most memory-based methods dynamically adapt how information is retrieved for different questions, while largely fixing what is remembered. This mismatch makes missing details costly...

EEG and Eye-Tracking Evidence That AI Disclosure Shapes Face Evaluation

AI-generated faces can be difficult to distinguish from real ones, leaving viewers to rely on source labels when judging an image. Yet prior work has made it difficult to separate the effects of what an image actually is from what viewers are told it is. We validated faces as AI-generated or human in an online study (N...

Beyond Outcome Rewards: Constructing and Assigning Retrieval Credit for Search Agents

Search agents enable Large Language Models (LLMs) to iteratively retrieve and use information for complex multi-hop questions. Reinforcement Learning with Verifiable Rewards (RLVR) offers a promising approach for post-training such agents, but its reliance on sparse, outcome-based supervision can make credit assignment...

Does Document Structure Help Dense Retrieval? A Placebo-Controlled Ablation of Four Mechanisms Across Two Corpora

Retrieval-augmented generation systems increasingly rely on document-structure treatments: structure-aligned chunking, LLM-generated chunk contexts, heading-path metadata, and hierarchical two-stage retrieval. Separate studies support each on different corpora, embedders, and metrics, and none control for a shared conf...

When Algorithmic Exploration Becomes Cheap: A Case Study of Agentic Research in EDA

As EDA researchers, we conducted eight deliberate trials of agentic algorithm exploration, selecting several topics outside our areas of depth. One faculty member and seven students participated, including students without publication experience. With limited intervention in the algorithms, agents developed mathematica...

Know the Shape, Find the Fault: Topology-Conditioned Diagnosis of Multi-Agent LLM Failures

Multi-agent LLM systems coordinate task execution through exchanges of information among agents. When coordination breaks down, similar symptoms in execution traces can reflect different problems in how information is passed, used, or verified. Communication topology captures how agents exchange information and provide...

ExperienceIndex: Artifact-Grounded Memory

Knowledge-intensive tasks require answering many questions by reasoning about a shared corpus of artifacts (e.g., court cases, or scientific literature). As humans interact with these corpora, they naturally accumulate experiential knowledge about artifacts, enabling them to quickly identify the complete set of relevan...

Activation-Aware Weight Tensorization: A Calibration-Time Preconditioner for Tensor-Network LLM Compression

Post-training tensor-network compression replaces Transformer linear layers with Tensor Train (TT) or Tree Tensor Network (TTN) operators, but standard decompositions minimize weight-space Frobenius error rather than functional error under the layer's activation distribution. We propose Activation-aware Weight Tensoriz...

From Pixel to Coding: Evaluating the Figure Reproduction Capabilities of MLLMs

Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) have demonstrated impressive capabilities in both visual understanding and code generation. However, existing benchmarks typically evaluate these two modalities in isolation, lacking a dedicated assessment of their unification, i.e., how a model can perceive complex visual struc...

Comprehension Audits to Mitigate Risks from Automated AI Research

AI is already writing a majority of code for frontier AI labs. This creates a safety risk if there is insufficient human oversight. Existing work proposes minimum comprehension thresholds and unaided checks to mitigate this. To our knowledge, however, there is currently no published frontier-AI assurance regime that re...

TRACK: Telemetry-Based Racing Analysis and Coaching Kit in Sim Racing Games

This paper presents TRACK (Telemetry-Based Racing Analysis and Coaching Kit), which is a framework for analyzing driving performance in sim racing and profiling how individual drivers behave behind the wheel. We report this framework together with its limitations: we calibrate each clustering result against a null, and...

Beyond Reward Suppression: Near-Optimal Offline Attacks on Warm-Start Bandits with Bounded Rewards

Adversarial attacks on bandits aim to mislead a learner toward a target arm while keeping the attack cost small. Existing attacks typically achieve this by suppressing non-target arms. In practice, however, manipulation such as fake reviews often directly promotes the target item. We study this gap through bounded offl...
