Large language model (LLM) agents have demonstrated strong performance on complex web navigation tasks, yet they remain brittle in real-world settings where user intentions are underspecified and preferences are heterogeneous. In practice, users rarely provide explicit profiles, requiring agents to infer latent prefere …

Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) achieve strong performance on visual reasoning tasks, yet remain prone to hallucinations and over-reliance on language priors, often generating answers without adequately using task-relevant visual evidence. Existing approaches primarily improve reasoning through reasoning-orien …

Meaning identity (whether two sentences say the same thing after wording changes) is treated in retrieval and RAG as a geometric fact about independently encoded sentence vectors. We show that, for frozen off-the-shelf encoders and language models, it is not: identity is computed when both sentences share one forward p …
