Fortress: A Case Study in Stabilizing Search Recommendations via Temporal Data Augmentation and Feature Pruning

In search and recommendation systems, predictive models often suffer from temporal instability when certain input features introduce volatility in output scores. This instability can degrade model reliability and user experience especially in multi-stage systems where consistent predictions are critical for downstream decision making. We introduce Fortress, a general framework for enhancing model stability and accuracy by identifying and pruning features that contribute to inconsistent prediction scores over time.

Revisiting ASR Error Correction with Specialized Models

Language models play a central role in automatic speech recognition (ASR), yet most methods rely on text-only models unaware of ASR error patterns. Recently, large language models (LLMs) have been applied to ASR correction, but introduce latency and hallucination concerns. We revisit ASR error correction with compact seq2seq models, trained on ASR errors from real and synthetic audio.

Scaling Properties of Continuous Diffusion Spoken Language Models

Speech-only spoken language models (SLMs) lag behind text and text-speech models in performance, with recent discrete autoregressive (AR) SLMs indicating significant computational and data demands to match text models. Since discretizing continuous speech for AR creates bottlenecks, we explore whether continuous diffusion (CD) SLM is more viable. To quantify the SLMs linguistic quality, we introduce the phoneme Jensen-Shannon divergence (pJSD) metric.

OptiAgent: End-to-End Optimization Modeling via Multi-Agent Iterative Refinement

We propose OptiAgent, a multi-agent framework that, given a natural language description of an Operations Research problem, is able to output a solver-ready mathematical formulation as well as executable code. Our architecture prioritizes the mathematical modeling step, where dedicated agents extract structures, such as decision variables and constraints, enabling iterative self-correction. We introduce a novel multi-loop validation architecture with four specialized feedback mechanisms, each targeting a distinct failure mode such as misinterpretation, structural defects, mathematical inconsistencies, validation failures, and code errors. Authors: Adriana Laurindo Monteiro, Nayse Fagundes, Gabriel Mattos Langeloh.

Medi-Gemma: A Hybrid Clinical Decision Support System Integrating Deterministic EMR Analytics and Retrieval-Augmented Generation

Deploying Large Language Models (LLMs) in high-stakes clinical settings remains limited by structural hallucinations, weak deterministic reasoning over tabular patient data, and omissions in vector retrieval. This paper presents the architecture and validation of Medi-Gemma, a Clinical Decision Support System (CDSS) for wound pathology triage and workflow automation. The platform introduces a decoupled framework that separates clinical perception from data orchestration while preserving traceable reasoning.

On the risk of coding before testing: An empirical study on LLM-based test generation workflow

Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly used in software engineering workflows to generate both source code and test suites. This dual capability has enabled emerging development paradigms, including test-first and agentic workflows, where a single model is producing and validating implementations. However, these approaches assume that generated tests act as independent and reliable oracles - a fundamental requirement for effective software testing.

SovereignPA-Bench: Evaluating User-Owned Personal Agents under Evolving Intent, Platform Mediation, and Consent Constraints

Personal agents are becoming persistent user-owned intermediaries: they remember preferences, filter platform-mediated information, use tools, and negotiate with services. Existing benchmarks evaluate tool use, web navigation, desktop control, personalization, recommendation, and evolving context, but rarely ask whether an agent preserves user sovereignty: advancing the user's current interests while respecting privacy, consent, evidence, user burden, and resistance to manipulative incentives. We introduce SovereignPA-Bench, an executable benchmark for evaluating user-owned personal agents under evolving intent, platform mediation, privacy boundaries, consent constraints, evidence requirements, and burden tradeoffs. Authors: Dylan Zongmin Liu.

Latent Programming Horizons in Coding Agents

A coding agent solving a software-engineering task spends dozens of steps reasoning, editing code, and running tests, yet little is known about what the underlying language model internally represents about the program it is working on. 83 for correctness across two models and two benchmarks. Our second finding is more surprising: these representations run ahead of the agent's own edits. Authors: André Silva, Han Tu, Martin Monperrus.

Simple-to-Complex Structured Demonstrations for Vision-Language-Action Learning

Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models have demonstrated strong capabilities in robotic manipulation by integrating visual perception, language understanding, and robot action generation. Existing research has primarily focused on improving model architectures, training strategies, and dataset scale, while little attention has been paid to how demonstrations are collected and organized. We identify demonstration organization as a fundamental yet overlooked aspect of imitation learning, as it directly affects policy learning efficiency, training stability, and policy generalization.

GelNeuro: A Sensing-Computing Integrated Neuromorphic Tactile System for Texture Recognition

Neuromorphic visuo-tactile sensing offers a promising paradigm for low-latency and low-power robotic perception. However, existing systems still rely heavily on a host computer for event readout, preprocessing, or relaying prior to chip inference. This paper presents GelNeuro, a fully integrated sensing-computing visuo-tactile system that directly pairs a GelSight Mini-based optical tactile front end with the Speck2f neuromorphic system-on-chip (SoC). Authors: Luoyang Bian, Xinpan Meng, Zhenghua Ma.

Qantara: Bridge-Flow Training for Multi-Paradigm JEPA Control

Joint-Embedding Predictive Architectures (JEPAs) underpin a growing family of latent world models for control from raw pixels, but every existing JEPA world model commits at training time to a single inference paradigm: either trajectory optimisation in a learned dynamics model, or direct behaviour cloning. A single checkpoint that serves both would defer this choice to inference, when deployment constraints (rollout cost, observation accessibility) determine which path wins. We present Qantara, an end-to-end JEPA whose joint training objective pairs a Brownian-bridge interpolant between consecutive clean latents on the state axis with noise-to-data flow matching on the action axis. Authors: Ruslan Rakhimov, George Bredis, Yuriy Maksyuta.

Cross-Scale Performance Analysis of Metaheuristic Algorithms for Simultaneous DG and DSTATCOM Placement in Radial Distribution Networks

The problem of simultaneous placement of distributed generators and DSTATCOMs in radial distribution networks (RDNs) is a combinatorial mixed-integer optimization problem whose scalability with growing decision dimensionality has been insufficiently explored. A cross-scale analysis of seven metaheuristic algorithms, GWO, SCA, PSO, WOA, GA, HHO and SMA, is conducted on the IEEE 33-bus, 69-bus, and 136-bus systems at three problem dimensions \( d = 4, 8, 12 \), with 30 independent runs per configuration being validated through Wilcoxon and Friedman tests. Mean-performance statistics are extended with a Catastrophic Failure Rate (CFR) metric. Authors: Md. Tanvirul Islam.

The kernel's iomap layer

Conversations about the kernel's filesystem implementations often involve a layer called "iomap", but relatively few people can reliably say what iomap actually is. That is just the kind of gap that LWN exists to fill. In short, iomap handles the mapping between data in the filesystem space (identified by a file of interest, and an offset within that file) and in the storage space (which may be a memory location, or a set of blocks on a storage device).

A Temporal Reasoning Benchmarking Framework for LRMs via Difficulty-controlled and Dynamic Test Generation

Defining the reasoning boundaries and ensuring the reliability of Large Reasoning Models (LRMs) remains a critical challenge. Current benchmarks primarily rely on static datasets susceptible to data contamination or synthetic tasks lacking fine-grained difficulty control. Furthermore, standard outcome-based evaluations often conceal reasoning flaws by neglecting the reasoning process. Authors: Shide Zhou, Kailong Wang, Ling Shi.

E-CoDrive: A Co-Simulation Framework for Testing Energy-Critical Driving Scenarios

Autonomous driving research has largely focused on safety while giving limited attention to non-functional aspects such as energy consumption and sustainability. As Autonomous Electric Vehicles (AEVs) become increasingly common in urban traffic, understanding how complex traffic dynamics influence their energy consumption is paramount to test whether AEVs can complete trips before battery depletion. To support energy-aware scenario-based testing of AEVs, we present E-CoDrive, a framework for reproducible closed-loop driving co-simulations that integrates an energy consumption model, a micro-traffic simulator, and a high-fidelity driving simulator to test AEV software stacks in urban scenarios.

Is Three the Magic Number? An Empirical Evaluation of LLM-Based Repair Loops

Iterative repair loops have become a core design pattern in LLM-based software engineering systems. These workflows repeatedly generate, validate, and repair artifacts using feedback such as compiler errors or test failures. Despite their widespread use, the impact of repair-loop iteration limits remains poorly understood, as most prior work adopts fixed, often arbitrary, repair budgets.

Obey, Diverge, Collapse: Blind Obedience to Incorrect Instructions Drives Code LLMs to Irrecoverable Code Semantic Collapse

Code language models are now trusted collaborators in production workflows for debugging, refactoring, and iterative repair, and every benchmark that evaluates them assumes the instructions they act on are correct. We study what happens when that assumption breaks. We evaluate code language models across four experiments designed to assess whether models resist or obey incorrect instructions in single-pass and iterative repair settings, using the RunBugRun dataset of algorithmic Python problems with deterministic test cases.
