Offline tests can fail to reveal whether an agent update will remain safe after deployment. We operationalize this post-audit mirage using matched safe and harmful lifecycles that expose identical…
The performance of medical image segmentation depends on a large amount of annotated data, and most segmentation models experience a significant drop in performance in low-sample-size scenarios.…
Content warning: this paper quotes slurs and hateful statements from published test suites; the racial slur among them is masked. Automated systems decide at scale which messages are harmful, and…
Chunking strategies for retrieval-augmented generation are almost always evaluated on a static snapshot, yet the documents underlying a knowledge base continue to change. Because chunks are embedded…
Electroencephalography (EEG)-to-language models offer a promising approach for translating complex neural signals into human-readable descriptions. However, generating plausible language does not…
This paper presents TRACE, a traversability-aware reactive navigation framework designed for the autonomous operation of ground robots in unstructured forest environments. Unlike traditional…
Personal agents need to draw on long-term interaction history to retrieve and apply external knowledge suited to a user's current request. Even an answer grounded in relevant documents can be…
Robust manipulation of soft objects, such as garments, is a critical skill for service and household robots to adopt, but remains challenging due to its high-dimensional state space, and…
Random projections (RP) offer an effective method for reducing computational and storage overhead while preserving the geometric structure of data. However, existing studies have primarily focused on…
We propose a market-making game played among $N \ge 2$ strategic market makers and a single non-strategic representative trader. In a continuous quote space, standard finite-game arguments do not…
Agents that call tools from a shared catalog can pool what they learn about which tool serves which request. We measure what pooled usage examples do to tool retrieval, reporting separately the…
An AI system can produce more economically valuable work while delivering less value for the energy it consumes. We therefore ask: How much economic value does an AI system create per unit of energy…
Trained network weights are increasingly treated as data, but there is rarely ground truth about what a population of models should encode, which hampers systematic validation of weight-space…
Lunar rovers will primarily rely on cameras for localization until navigation satellite services are deployed, and will continue to need them afterwards for relative navigation, hazard detection, and…
Representation learning has substantially improved the efficiency of unconstrained continuous-state Markov Decision Processes (MDPs), but its extension to Constrained MDPs (CMDPs) is difficult…
Wrist photoplethysmography (PPG) heart rate estimates are vulnerable to motion artifacts, and corrections that reduce mean error can worsen individual windows. We propose an agent architecture with…
Hybrid retrieval, which fuses a sparse lexical retriever with a dense neural one, is widely recommended in the software documentation surveyed in September 2026, usually with reciprocal rank fusion…
A digital twin (DT) for type 1 diabetes (T1D) can predict how an individual's blood glucose will respond to different insulin treatments without actually trying them. For each treatment, downstream…
Modern LLM agents can retrieve information from accessible documents, and then disclose a sensitive conclusion assembled from them. This mosaic effect creates a critical risk for agents operating…
Formula-Driven Supervised Learning (FDSL) enables vision pre-training without real images, but existing methods cast pre-training as classification on discretized labels, discarding continuity in the…
Predicting surrounding vehicles' lane-change intentions enables autonomous vehicles to anticipate potential hazards and respond proactively rather than relying solely on reactive maneuvers. This…
Traffic management has traditionally focused on toll-based and road pricing solutions. However, road pricing often raises concerns about accessibility and public dissatisfaction, leading to its…
AI agents capable of autonomous decision-making introduce significant challenges related to safety, alignment, accountability, and human oversight. Existing Human-in-the-Loop (HITL) and responsible…
Signed graph learning has emerged as a powerful framework for modeling networks with both positive and negative interactions. While graph-filter-based methods have achieved promising empirical…
