Legal intelligence aims to support reliable decision-making across long-horizon legal processes involving evolving case states and multiple roles. However, real-world legal deployment exhibits substantial case heterogeneity in facts, evidence, and procedural contexts, exposing the limitations of static agent strategies …

Large language models (LLMs) progressively revise their predictions across Transformer layers, yet we typically observe only the final output, discarding the trajectory through which it is formed. We introduce Belief-Trajectory Energy(BTE), a model-grounded measure that characterizes an input through the layerwise pred …

Concurrent actions in large language model (LLM) agent environments require arbitration even when each proposal is individually valid. We implement a typed snapshot-settlement contract and audit three distinct properties: order sensitivity, useful progress, and replay consistency. Five settlement policies are tested in …

Exercise-specific joint selection can improve skeleton-based correctness classification, but what does that gain establish? We audit 1,057 repetitions from ten REHAB24-6 subjects, separating evaluation aggregation, subset structure, and temporal representation. The manual-subset kNN gain changes from 0.055 for pooled o …

Process reward models (PRMs) have become a key component for LLMs, as their step-level feedback supports both post-training and test-time reasoning. However, training strong PRMs remains costly: human step annotation is difficult to scale, while Monte Carlo estimation is computationally expensive and can drift from the …

Existing adaptive reasoning methods for driving Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models primarily focus on whether to reason, overlooking how reasoning should differ across driving situations. Our key insight is that while scene complexity informs reasoning depth, dynamic risk is equally critical for deciding how to reason …

Large Vision-Language Models (LVLMs) face significant computational inefficiencies caused by the large number of visual tokens. Existing visual token pruning methods mainly focus on either retaining individually important tokens or selecting mutually diverse ones. In this work, we revisit visual token pruning from a co …
