High-quality coding problems are expensive to collect. Benchmarks such as SWE-bench rely on substantial human curation, while synthetic alternatives typically rely on costly model generation and validation. In this work, we show that new coding problems can be created at almost no cost by composing existing ones. We fo...

Influence functions enable principled data selection for large language models (e.g., identifying influential training samples for model editing, debugging, or efficient fine-tuning). However, scaling IFs to LLMs is hindered by the intractability of billion-scale Hessian matrices and the prohibitive memory overhead of...

We introduce Anchor-and-Harvest Curriculum (AHC), a domain-informed, rule-based training system for Craftax-Full. AHC combines achievement-oriented tasks, harvested initial-state progress, difficulty adaptation, bounded selection, and original-task practice. It uses no LLM inference and keeps all 43 actions available....

A deception detector is only as useful as the trust its alarms deserve. Like a polygraph, detectors that read a language model's internal activations can catch deceptive responses that look honest. Yet current detectors depend on which layers they read, weaken on broader tests, and do not state how certain their alarms...

Misclassification is a critical problem in many machine learning applications. Since even the classifier models with high accuracy (e.g., > 95%) still introduce some misclassification error, it may not be possible to rely on the output of a classifier. In this paper, we introduce trustable learning, which prompts the l...
The accuracy of detecting protein crystals for fluorescence microscopy images is very critical for high throughput and automated systems. Although the trace fluorescent labeling method could highlight protein crystals, reflection and emission from the fluorescence dye is not always due to crystal regions. Therefore, th...

Joint-embedding predictive architectures (JEPAs) learn world models directly in latent space, but unconstrained autoregressive predictors may contract the latent distribution over long rollouts. We introduce Symplectic Hamiltonian JEPA (LeHami), which replaces the standard predictor with an action-conditioned Hamiltoni...
We introduce Sequent-Prover, a family of verifier-using language-model agents, and the post-training framework that produces them. Agents reason in an executable SMT-LIB scratchpad: they write complete SMT-LIB programs, query Z3 across turns, inspect solver feedback, repair formalizations, and terminate with an explici...

Self-evolving mechanisms let vision-language model (VLM) agents continually adapt through evolving memory, but they also allow malicious behavior to emerge only after deployment. We introduce a new attack surface, the self-evolving backdoor, whose payload stays dormant in the initial agent and is progressively activate...

This paper makes the following key observations: Shallow exits are consistently more robust to jailbreak attacks than deeper ones; Exit depth affects how easily the adversarial suffix can be optimized, with deeper exits reaching lower attack loss; and adversarial suffixes affect utility uniformly across exit depths.
Modern AI systems increasingly combine large language models (LLMs) with human experts, using the LLM to handle routine queries while deferring uncertain cases for expert review. When expert capacity is limited, however, deferral decisions must account not only for the reliability of the LLM but also for congestion in...

Traffic sign recognition plays a crucial role in the development of autonomous cars to reduce the accident rate and promote road safety. It has been a necessity to address traffic signs that are affected significantly by the environment as well as poor real-time performance for deep-learning state-of-the-art algorithms...

Assistant Professor Benjamin Lindquist studies how engineers deliberately injected randomness into early AI, giving rise to deep-learning models that sometimes hallucinate.

Machine-learning networks can learn without detailed instructions from a designer. Those that do may offer insight into how the brain reorganizes itself during learning.
