In hospital workflows, electronic health records (EHRs) are often noisy, and may not contain the evidence needed to confirm events or measurements referenced in a clinical query. Even when database retrieval succeeds, clinical agents can overlook such discrepancies and return plausible but unsupported answers. We intro …
Reinforcement learning with a verifiable reward (RLVR) offers a scalable approach to training language-model agents, yet sparse outcome rewards can leave early training with little signal for policy improvement. We identify an On-Policy Acceleration Phenomenon: in our main comparisons, RLVR initialized with on-policy d …
Scientific software presents a demanding test for computer-using agents based on visual language models (VLMs): completing a research workflow requires interpreting specialized interfaces, manipulating scientific objects, and producing verifiable results. We thus introduce OSWorld-Science, a benchmark and evaluation en …
A correct diagnosis reached from insufficient or misleading evidence can pose a clinical hazard, yet outcome-based accuracy may reward such lucky guesses. We call this mismatch between diagnostic decisions and the value of available evidence Evidence-Value Misalignment (EVM). To disentangle evidential grounding indepen …
Major depressive disorder (MDD) severely impacts daily activities and quality of life. Detecting MDD involves multimodal data, such as interview recordings and sensor measurements. This is particularly challenging, as these heterogeneous modalities often demand distinct, customized prediction pipelines. Existing effort …
Document rerankers determine what evidence reaches the downstream model in RAG and deep research, yet mainstream rerankers select by relevance matching, and individually relevant documents rarely constitute the complete, complementary, non-redundant set a complex information need demands. Prior work rewards a set by it …
