Beyond Participatory Explanation: Ontological Reflexivity Theory as a Resolution to the Consciousness Emergence Problem

David Cota’s evaluation of the author’s “participatory explanation” approach to consciousness reveals fundamental conceptual problems that plague contemporary consciousness studies. Cota identifies a critical conflation between reason as a symbolic-operational function, and consciousness as a phenomenal-experiential fi...

Video2Skill: From Streaming Experience to Reusable Embodied Skills

This work introduces Video2Skill, a benchmark that covers robot tabletop manipulation and human kitchen activity and tests three core capabilities: locating manipulation events in time, grouping events of the same transformation, and deciding when to reuse an existing skill or create a new one.

When Updating Stops Being Learning: Rethinking LLM Self-Evolution via learnable information gain

A holistic framework based on learnable information gain, which measures how much novel, parameterizable information a round provides relative to the previous round, and proposes ATRI (Adaptive Training Regulation via Information-gain), which reweights samples within a round and halts training across rounds when inform...

Distilling What Matters: Confidence-Aware Selective Distillation for Large Language Models

CaRE-KD is proposed, a confidence-gated distillation framework that replaces static objectives with uncertainty-adaptive optimization and provides a gradient-level analysis showing how this dual-granularity design induces a conditional calibration mechanism that prior static divergences cannot reproduce.

Invariant Atoms: Sparse Coordinates of Local Semantic Geometry in Language Model Representations

This work learns a shared semantic frame and sparse coordinates that reconstruct semantic displacements while suppressing nuisance variation, with anchor-dependent diagonal modulation adjusting atom strengths without sample-specific rotations to support reusable invariant directions as a sparse coordinate system for lo...

CorrGRPO: Correlation-Normalized GRPO for Multi-Reward Learning

Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO) is widely used to train reasoning language models, where it computes advantages by centering and normalizing rewards across rollouts of the same prompt. For multiple rewards, GRPO sums the reward components and normalizes the total reward by its within-group standard deviation....

Multimodal Detection of Higher-Order Behavioral Constructs: Self-Compassion in Structured Reflective Interactions

Many of the qualities that matter most in how people learn and grow, how someone regulates their emotions, reflects on a setback, or stays aware of others during a difficult conversation, are not directly observable. They have to be inferred from how someone speaks, moves, and sounds over time, and they resist the kind...

From Neurons to Conversation: Speech Brain-Computer Interfaces

By reframing speech BCIs as adaptive, user-centred systems, this work outlines the interdisciplinary priorities spanning speech neuroscience, neural engineering, machine learning, clinical practice, and neuroethics needed to move from proof-of-concept decoding toward reliable, expressive, and controllable communication...
