Artificial intelligence pathways from weather to climate

Two minimum requirements for AI in climate modeling are proposed: external forcing agents must enter explicitly enough to support interventions in which they vary independently and robustness must be stress-tested in out-of-distribution regimes, including extremes and counterfactual trajectories.

Beyond Policy Support: Interaction Constrained Offline Reinforcement Learning for Autonomous Driving

Offline reinforcement learning enables reward-driven policy improvement from fixed datasets without requiring online exploration, making it particularly attractive in safety-critical domains. A central challenge, however, is distribution shift: policy optimization may favor actions that are weakly supported by the offl...

Unrolled Flow Models for Reasoning

Flow matching enables language generation in few steps, but whether additional integration steps improve reasoning remains unclear. We prove that a flow parameterized by a two-layer Transformer can solve graph reachability, with the required number of integration steps increasing with the target's distance from the roo...

Few-Shot Learning for Personalised Automated Pain Assessment

The results suggest that support-conditioned few-shot adaptation can improve average performance under inter-subject variability, and it is suggested that support-conditioned few-shot adaptation can improve average performance under inter-subject variability.

CERO: Where and When to Allocate Rollouts for RL Post-Training

Adaptive rollout methods for group-relative reinforcement learning typically allocate a fixed per-update budget across prompts. We instead study how to coordinate a finite rollout budget over the entire training horizon. We formulate this problem using a concave surrogate utility of cumulative prompt exposure and intro...

Coding-Agent Benchmarks Should Match Their Users'Task Flows

The evaluation of coding agents generally strives to be as realistic as possible. In our study, we collect 4,782 agent sessions of real software engineers in JetBrains IDEs, which we call Production Sessions. Since our subject is interactive agents, we study the sessions with at least three user messages (33% of the sa...

Collaborative Reasoning Distillation via Cross-Feedback and Coherent Curation

Reasoning capabilities are critical for advancing Large Language Models, yet current approaches either require massive computational budgets or struggle to effectively distill reasoning to smaller models. Standard distillation methods rely on outcome-based rewards, failing to distinguish between sound reasoning and luc...

Align Before You Combine: Reference Space Calibration for Supervision Without Ground Truth

We introduce a calibration-first framework that produces supervision scores without access to ground-truth labels or a shared annotation space. Our framework aligns subset-specific scorers using a synthetic ordinal reference space before fusion. This reference space is constructed from ordered calibration features that...

Safe on Average, Unsafe in the Tail: When Is the Episodic-Cost Tail Controllable?

Safe reinforcement learning seeks policies that maximize return while satisfying constraints on cumulative cost. Most methods impose these constraints on expected episodic cost. Consequently, standard evaluations report mean episodic cost without characterizing how cost is distributed across episodes. A policy that sat...

SpatialUQ: Post-Hoc Uncertainty Quantification from Spatial Consistency in Black-Box Vision Models

Clinical vision models are often deployed as frozen black boxes with no access to internals, retraining, or ground truth at inference time. We introduce \textbf{SpatialUQ}, a post-hoc uncertainty method using only output probabilities. It measures the Jensen-Shannon divergence between the global prediction and the mean...

Sparse Feature Policy Unlearning Mitigates State Hallucination in Vision-Language-Action Models

Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models have shown strong generalization in robotic manipulation by leveraging rich representations from pretrained vision-language models. However, their deployment in real-world environments remains limited by recurring unreliable behaviors. In this work, we study state hallucination, a re...

Correspondences as Decisions: JevNexus for Decision-Centric Schema Matching

Schema matching increasingly uses generative language models to rerank retrieved column candidates, although the underlying task is a bounded correspondence decision. We present JevNexus, which combines typed pairwise decisions with schema/instance evidence and invokes listwise refinement only when the evidence disagre...
