- Evolving AI may arrive before AGI and create hard-to-control risks
Evolutionary biology holds clues for the future of AI, argue researchers from the HUN-REN Centre for Ecological Research, Eötvös Loránd University, and the Royal Flemish Academy of Belgium for Science and the Arts. In a new Perspective published April 20 in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the team warn that evolvable AI (eAI) systems that can undergo Darwinian evolution may soon emerge, and they will generate special risks that can be understood, and mitigated, based on insights from evolutionary biology.

- A retrieval-augmented framework enabling VLM spatial awareness for object-centric robot manipulation
Science Robotics, Volume 11, Issue 113, April 2026.
- DSO: Direct Steering Optimization for Bias Mitigation
Generative models are often deployed to make decisions on behalf of users, such as vision-language models (VLMs) identifying which person in a room is a doctor to help visually impaired individuals. Yet, VLM decisions are influenced by the perceived demographic attributes of people in the input, which can lead to biased outcomes like failing to identify women as doctors. Moreover, when reducing bias leads to performance loss, users may have varying needs for balancing bias mitigation with overall model capabilities, highlighting the demand for methods that enable controllable bias reduction…
- Rule-based High-Level Coaching for Goal-Conditioned Reinforcement Learning in Search-and-Rescue UAV Missions Under Limited-Simulation Training
This paper presents a hierarchical decision-making framework for unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) missions motivated by search-and-rescue (SAR) scenarios under limited simulation training. The framework combines a fixed rule-based high-level advisor with an online goal-conditioned low-level reinforceme...
- ViCrop-Det: Spatial Attention Entropy Guided Cropping for Training-Free Small-Object Detection
Transformer-based architectures have established a dominant paradigm in global semantic perception; however, they remain fundamentally constrained by the profound spatial heterogeneity inherent in natural images. Specifically, the imposition of a uniform global receptive field across regions of vary...
- Bian Que: An Agentic Framework with Flexible Skill Arrangement for Online System Operations
Operating and maintaining (O&M) large-scale online engine systems (search, recommendation, advertising) demands substantial human effort for release monitoring, alert response, and root cause analysis. While LLM-based agents are a natural fit for these tasks, the deployment bottleneck is not reasoni...
- MemOVCD: Training-Free Open-Vocabulary Change Detection via Cross-Temporal Memory Reasoning and Global-Local Adaptive Rectification
Open-vocabulary change detection aims to identify semantic changes in bi-temporal remote sensing images without predefined categories. Recent methods combine foundation models such as SAM, DINO and CLIP, but typically process each timestamp independently or interact only at the final comparison stag...
- Exploring the Potential of Probabilistic Transformer for Time Series Modeling: A Report on the ST-PT Framework
The Probabilistic Transformer (PT) establishes that the Transformer's self-attention plus its feed-forward block is mathematically equivalent to Mean-Field Variational Inference (MFVI) on a Conditional Random Field (CRF). Under this equivalence the Transformer ceases to be a black-box neural network...
