Skillful prediction of biomass-burning activity several days in advance is important for air-quality forecasting and aerosol prediction. Two operational constraints motivate this work. First, the GBBEPx satellite fire radiative power (FRP) product used to initialize NOAA's GEFS-Aerosols is available with about a 1.5-da …
Non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) is prevalent among adolescents with depression, but the rapid brain-state dynamics linking social distress to maladaptive behavior remain unclear. We combine an experimental pain paradigm, electroencephalography (EEG) microstate analysis, and interpretable deep sequence modeling to inves …
Accurate medication recommendation is central to clinical decision-making, directly determining therapeutic efficacy and patient safety. However, existing methods suffer from two key limitations: drugs are often abstracted as discrete tokens, ignoring their molecular structures and pharmacological mechanisms, and the c …
Mechanistic interpretability aims to recover the internal computations responsible for model behavior. Progress in automated circuit discovery is often framed as a search problem: better attribution or optimization should identify better mechanisms. This assumes that the evaluation objective can recognize a better circ …
Large language models (LLMs) have been increasingly used for financial document analysis, including earnings call transcripts (ECTs). Beyond generating standalone claims, users increasingly prefer grounded analyses that pair claims with verifiable citations from source documents to enable independent validation. Howeve …
Outcome-based reinforcement learning (RL) post-trains vision--language--action policies using terminal success signals, but assigns the same trajectory-level advantage to every action chunk. A failed episode can thus penalize useful early actions as if they caused the failure. Existing approaches seek finer-grained fee …
Despite rapid progress in video generation models, they still exhibit obvious motion deficiencies, often manifested as incorrect object motion. However, most existing video quality evaluations focus on aesthetic quality or text-video alignment. To address this gap, we study object-centric motion fidelity assessment, ev …
On-policy distillation instils multi-turn agentic reasoning through dense token-level supervision on the student's own trajectories, but a single domain saturates early, so further supervision has to be drawn from other domains. Multi-domain data mixing is the most direct way of incorporating them, at the cost of confl …
Multi-agent systems (MAS) split a task across specialized roles and are promising on complex tasks, yet a prevailing approach relies on inference-time orchestration alone. General-purpose APIs are costly and hard to customize, while small models with role prompts rarely develop stable role competence or reliable collab …
While LLMs show promise in general reasoning, symbolic planning in chemistry remains a bottleneck. Direct ''SMILES-to-PDDL'' attempts fail because they force models to juggle chemical analysis and planning-language structuring simultaneously. We hypothesize that this failure stems from a lack of intermediate abstractio …
Large language models (LLMs) reliably perform entity copying, in which a model copies tokens referring to an entity, termed entity tokens, from the prompt into its output to answer a question. Although entity copying is straightforward for most LLMs, existing research does not provide a systematic account of which laye …
Mechanistic interpretability (MI) aims to explain a model's behaviour through analyzing its internal computations; circuit-based explanations aim to isolate these computations with compact subnetworks validated by ablating the rest of the model. We show that circuits validated this way may fail to recover the underlyin …
Large language model agents are now privileged principals that take consequential actions: editing code repositories, operating inboxes, completing purchases. Their authority is kernel-grade, but it comes without what classical systems security requires: a trusted mediator interposed on every access. Operating-system v …
Agent skills, reusable procedural documents that extend LLM agents beyond their parametric memory, have become an important interface for deploying agents on real-world tasks. Community-maintained skill libraries built around this interface are growing rapidly. However, this ecosystem remains deeply English-centric: ou …
Scaling humanoid whole-body control toward general-purpose deployment requires large human motion corpora and training experience shared across robot bodies. Existing methods usually train one policy per robot, leaving motion experience isolated across embodiments. We introduce X-WBC, a cross-embodiment foundation fram …
