- HANDOFF: Humanoid Agentic Task-Space Whole-Body Control via Distilled Complementary Teachers
For a humanoid robot to be deployed in the real world, the choice of command space (i.e., the interface between task planning and whole-body control) is crucial. Existing whole-body controllers typically demand dense kinematic or spatial references that planners struggle to synthesize from task sema...
- Code2LoRA: Hypernetwork-Generated Adapters for Code Language Models under Software Evolution
Code language models need repository-level context to resolve imports, APIs, and project conventions. Existing methods inject this knowledge as long inputs (retrieved through RAG or dependency analysis) or through per-repository fine-tuning and LoRA -- costly at repository scale and brittle to evolv...
- Pretraining Recurrent Networks without Recurrence
Training recurrent neural networks (RNNs) requires assigning credit across long sequences of computations. Standard backpropagation through time (BPTT) addresses this problem poorly: it is sequential in time, limiting parallelism, and suffers from vanishing or exploding gradients, making long-range ...
- RREDCoT: Segment-Level Reward Redistribution for Reasoning Models
Recent advancements in reasoning language models have been driven by Reinforcement Learning (RL) fine-tuning. Most often, these rely on the Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO) algorithm or modifications thereof to steer the models to produce Chain-of-Thought (CoT) traces. The final answer can ...

- Will the Agent Recuse Itself? Measuring LLM-Agent Compliance with In-Band Access-Deny Signals
As autonomous LLM agents increasingly hold real credentials and operate infrastructure without a human in the loop, operators have no standard way to tell an agent that a resource is off-limits. Access controls either let the agent in (it has valid credentials) or hard-fail it (indistinguishable fro...
- Vortex: Efficient and Programmable Sparse Attention Serving for AI Agents
Sparse attention is becoming increasingly important for serving large language models (LLMs) as generation lengths continue to grow. However, deploying and evaluating new sparse attention algorithms at scale remains highly engineering-intensive, slowing both human researchers and AI agents in explor...

- Double Preconditioning (DoPr): Optimization for Test-Time Performance, not Validation Loss
Many modern applications of deep learning involve training a neural network via a one-step prediction loss (e.g., $L^2$ regression, cross-entropy), but deploy the network by rolling out along its own predictions. Key examples include autoregressive language modeling, flow-based generative modeling, ...

- PAMF: Prior-Aware Multimodal Fusion for Incomplete Time Series Data
In healthcare, multimodal time series tasks often operate on incomplete observations in practice, for example when ECG segments are lost because electrodes detach or an entire respiratory channel is unavailable during overnight monitoring. Such missingness typically appears in two structurally disti...
- Learning What to Forget: Improving LLM Unlearning via Learned Token-Level Importance
Machine unlearning aims to remove targeted knowledge from a trained model while preserving its general capabilities. For autoregressive language models, not all tokens in a forget sample are equally relevant to forgetting. Existing approaches either ignore this heterogeneity or rely on auxiliary mod...
- LLM Self-Recognition: Steering and Retrieving Activation Signatures
Recent advances in interpretability suggest that large language models (LLMs) implicitly encode signals in their generated text that enable self-recognition of their outputs. We demonstrate that this capability is reliable, even in low-entropy scenarios, and that it can be amplified through targeted...

Existing tool-selection methods often optimize semantic relevance, exposing tools whose names or description...
- DAST: A VLM-LLM Framework for Cross-Interface Anomaly Detection in O-RAN
O-RAN enables a disaggregated baseband stack with programmable functions that communicate over standardized open interfaces.

- TempoVLA: Learning Speed-Controllable Vision-Language-Action Policies
Robot manipulation alternates between low-risk transit phases that call for fast execution and high-risk contact stages that demand slow, precise motion.

- Operation-Guided Progressive Human-to-AI Text Transformation Benchmark for Multi-Granularity AI-Text Detection
As AI writing assistants become increasingly integrated into real-world drafting and revision workflows, many documents are no longer purely human-written or AI-generated, but instead result from progressive human-AI co-editing. However, existing AI-text detection benchmarks largely focus on final o...
- Self-Augmenting Retrieval for Diffusion Language Models
Discrete diffusion language models generate text by iteratively denoising an entire response in parallel. At each step, they predict tentative tokens for every masked position, committing the confident predictions to the output and discarding the unconfident ones. We show that the discarded tokens a...
