Beyond the Sycophancy Score: How Task, Model, and Pressure Shape LLM Yielding

Large language models (LLMs) often abandon a correct answer, or endorse a user's position, once the user pushes back. This behavior, called sycophancy, is usually reported as a single rate per model, which says little about when it happens or how a user can avoid it. We study the conditions that produce it with 103,939...

Child ASR Adaptation with Adult Retention: An Empirical Study

Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) systems often underperform for children and non-native speakers, while adapting adult ASR models to child speech can cause adult-speech forgetting. We study child ASR adaptation with adult retention across Arabic and English. We compare full fine-tuning, LoRA, and post-hoc weight-spac...

HydroSphere: A Framework for Governed, Self-Healing Wastewater Infrastructure

Rapid industrialization and urban growth are increasing pressure on water quality and wastewater treatment systems, while conventional treatment plants often rely on static monitoring and control strategies that cannot easily adapt to changing pollutant conditions. This paper presents HydroSphere, a governed, data-driv...

Just for FUNS: LLM-Guided Spatio-Temporal Graph Node Generation for Forecasting Unobserved Node States

Spatio-temporal forecasting is a cornerstone of logistics, urban planning, and intelligent transportation systems. However, constrained by deployment costs and maintenance resources, sensor networks often lack comprehensive spatial coverage, rendering Forecast Unobserved Node States (FUNS) a critical yet formidable cha...

KVFetch: Temporal Prefetching for the Missing Half of KV Cache Compression

As context windows scale to tens or hundreds of thousands of tokens, KV cache compression has become essential for efficient LLM inference. Existing methods fall into three families: score-based eviction, summary compensation, and offload-and-recall. Yet all three decide what to keep or recall by content relevance to t...

Transferability and operational reliability of a Prithvi crop classification foundation model under phenological and geographic shift across three continents

Fine-tuned geospatial foundation models (GeoFMs) pretrained on large satellite archives have been shown to improve crop classification accuracy and geographic transferability. However, their operational performance beyond the training distribution remains poorly characterized. We evaluated the out-of-distribution perfo...

Beyond Baseline Severity: Temporal and Disease-Specific Predictors of Depression Outcomes Following Mindfulness Interventions

Depression severity among patients with chronic or acute medical conditions is influenced by a complex interaction of baseline psychological state, demographic characteristics, clinical context, and engagement with behavioral interventions. This paper presents an interpretable machine-learning analysis of a multi-cente...

SciExam for ENSO: Can AI Agents Build Climate Models?

The SciExam for ENSO can evaluate agent research where no answer is known, and the results suggest that agents can already build competitive models whose structures bear on questions that scientists still debate.

SOTA: Stock Options Trading Agents Guided by Option-Implied Return Distributions

As option markets grow and AI advances, agentic systems for option trading are gaining increasing attention. Language-model-based agents can reason over contextual information such as news, but option trading presents a particularly challenging decision problem: a single stock can have thousands of contracts, and the a...

AI Safety Considerations for Agents With Limited Time to Act

In the wake of the increasingly public discussion about AI alignment, recent work has tried to propose specific AI architectures that behave safely. However, the proposed arguments that seemingly demonstrate proved alignment mostly neglect the environment the agent needs to act in. We discuss theoretical bounds for age...

GAGR-Lab: Evaluating Joint Spatial-Geometric and Analytic Function Reasoning

Joint spatial-geometric and analytic function reasoning requires translating a perceived spatial configuration into a symbolic function whose executed curve satisfies geometric constraints. We present GAGR-Lab, a framework for measuring this capability through Cartesian game scenes, explicit function semantics, and aut...

Think Before You Paint: Recursive Latent Reasoning for Diffusion Models

Diffusion models generate realistic images but often fail on visual reasoning tasks, such as filling in a Sudoku or drawing the path through a maze. When a discrete symbolic representation is available, recursive methods such as the Tiny Recursive Model (TRM) solve even hard instances of these puzzles. We ask how such...
