Human and LLM Facilitation in Collaborative Design Meetings: A Computational Behavioral Comparison

Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly being explored as facilitators of group discussion and collaborative work, but the behavioral differences between LLM-generated and human facilitation remain insufficiently characterized. We compare human Project Manager facilitation turns from scenario-based collaborative...

Double-Take: Improving Capacity, Binding, and Selectivity In Long-Context Within Bidirectional Memory

Processing a long sequence does not guarantee that distant information remains usable. As context grows, a fixed-size memory must retain many associations, connect information across positions, and preserve relevant structure without being overwhelmed by everything it observes. These are distinct requirements: a memory...

CB-Orchestrator: Adaptive Workflow Optimization for LLM Agents via Contextual Bandits

Large Language Model (LLM) agents have demonstrated remarkable capabilities in tackling complex tasks through agentic workflows. However, manually designing these workflows is labor-intensive and lacks flexibility to adapt to diverse queries. While automated workflow optimization is a promising direction, existing meth...

Towards Easier-to-Tune Training Algorithms: New Results from AlgoPerf

Evaluating deep learning optimizer is challenging because confounding factors such as hyperparameter tuning and optimizer-model co-design often obscure true algorithmic performance. We present results of the updated AlgoPerf V1 benchmark, in which we evaluate a new set of training algorithms on wall-clock time-to-targe...

Target-Constrained Pooling for Trajectory Extrapolation

Trajectory extrapolation from a partial target trajectory is underdetermined, but completed related trajectories provide information about the unresolved continuation. We propose target-constrained pooling (TCP), which separates the finite-horizon endpoint from continuation shape and estimates that endpoint from two co...

Low-Rank Kolmogorov-Arnold Generator Flows for Interpretable Operator Learning

Neural operators that learn physical laws from data should generalize beyond their training distribution and expose the learned law in closed form. The Kolmogorov-Arnold neural operator achieves both for position-dependent dynamics by learning a dense pseudo-differential symbol over all positions and frequencies, at a...

Trajectory-Aware Policy Optimization: Closing the State Distribution Gap in Long-Horizon LLM RL

Reinforcement learning (RL) has become a dominant paradigm for enhancing LLMs' reasoning capabilities. Yet long-horizon autoregressive rollouts introduce a fundamental limitation: local policy mismatch can compound into severe state distribution shift over trajectories. Existing LLM RL methods, such as GRPO and GSPO, c...

Evidential Multimodal Transformers with Dempster-Shafer Fusion for Emotion Recognition

Softmax-based multimodal emotion recognition methods often assign high confidence even when sensor data are corrupted or contradictory, for example when facial expressions suggest positive valence while vocal prosody indicates negative arousal. We present an Evidential Multimodal Transformer with Dempster-Shafer Fusion...

Gaussian-Width Bounds for Offline-to-Online Linear Bandits

We study how offline data can help online learning in stochastic linear bandits. We focus on partially covered offline data, where only $k$ of the $d$ feature directions are poorly covered. Existing analyses of algorithms based on phased elimination and optimism give regret bounds of order $\widetilde O(\sqrt{dkT})$ in...

Diffusion Precipitation Generation with Medium-range Weather Forecasting

Accurate daily precipitation forecasts are important for weather-sensitive decisions. Although recent Weather Foundation Models (WFMs) have achieved significant progress, they are trained on reanalysis data, which exhibit regional and intensity-dependent biases. Since retraining WFMs on observation-based targets is cos...

DataCupid: Stable Matching Repair for Training Data Acquisition with Delayed Feedback

Matching repair after utility changes can reuse valid observations, but new evaluations must respect matching capacity and may return out of order. We study announced invalidations with bounded, possibly reward-dependent reporting delays and pending evaluations that do not occupy future matching capacity. Residualload...

Controlled-Minimax: Stabilizing Adversarial Optimization via Control Theory

Minimax optimization is fundamental to adversarial learning yet suffers from severe stability challenges, often manifesting as persistent limit cycles or divergence. This paper investigates these instabilities through the lens of continuous-time dynamical systems. By modeling training dynamics as a second-order Ordinar...
