LLM agents exhibit a consistent tendency to over-call, invoking tools even in situations where none is needed. On the When2Call benchmark, six models from three families show high call accuracy but much lower no-call accuracy, leaving overall accuracy in the 55%-70% range. We trace this to an Intrinsic Bias Hypothesis...

Constrained Machine Learning (CML) enables fairness-aware training, physics-informed neural networks, and integration of symbolic domain knowledge into statistical models. In this work, we introduce the Stochastic Penalty-Barrier Method (SPBM) for CML problems. SPBM extends classical penalty and barrier methods by inco...

This paper proposes a framework generalizing recent proxy-based unlearning methods and proves theoretical guarantees about the behavior of the resulting unlearned model: upper bounds on its Kullback-Leibler divergence to the ideal posterior distribution of the retain data. We model approximate unlearning as a constrain...
This paper investigates robust representation learning in offline goal-conditioned reinforcement learning (GCRL). Particularly in sparse reward scenarios, learning representations that align state and goal latents is a challenge, as the encoder can learn goal-agnostic features that destabilize policy learning. We addre...

Causal inference in continuous-time sequential decision problems is challenged by hidden confounding and partially observed states. We show that, under explicit structural assumptions, observability of the latent state enables identification of dynamic treatment effects through a continuous-time conditional front-door...

The benefits usually attributed to skip connections are optimization-theoretic: a smoother loss landscape and better gradient propagation. We ask a representational question instead: given a residual block x -> x + MLP(x), does a residual-free MLP of the same width compute the same function? The answer is no, unconditi...
The self-attention mechanism is central to the success of Transformer architectures. However, standard row-stochastic attention has been shown to suffer from significant signal degradation across layers. In particular, it can induce rank collapse, resulting in increasingly uniform token representations, as well as entr...
The Neural Function Minimizer is introduced, an iterative model that walks a position across the domain and, at every step, reads the samples near that position and attends to all twenty of them, and is compared with two Set Transformers of the same size, one that answers with a single point and one that answers with a...

Deep learning based semantic communication has achieved significant progress in wireless image transmission, but most existing schemes rely on fixed models and thus lack robustness to diverse image contents and dynamic channel conditions. To improve adaptability, recent studies have developed adaptive semantic communic...
This work introduces a gated active learning framework that combines curiosity driven sampling with a physics-informed quality control filter based on Simple Harmonic Oscillator model fits, allowing the system to automatically exclude low fidelity data during acquisition.

The growing demand for on-device large language model (LLM) services on mobile edge devices has driven the adoption of Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) architectures, which scale model capacity with limited computation. Since fine-tuning MoE-based LLMs relies on privacy-sensitive local data, federated learning (FL) offers a na...

Multimodal web agents that process both screenshots and accessibility trees are increasingly deployed to interact with web interfaces, yet their dual-stream architecture opens an underexplored attack surface: an adversary who injects content into the webpage DOM simultaneously corrupts both observation channels with a...
