Hierarchical Acoustic-Semantic Modeling: Modality Separation and Semantic Coherence for Full-Duplex SLMs

Developing seamless, high-performance, native intelligent full-duplex Spoken Language Models (SLMs) remains a critical challenge and long-standing goal for the speech and NLP community. Despite notable progress, recent endeavors are fundamentally constrained by severe modality interference, which causes substantial knowledge degradation and compromises semantic integrity -- ultimately making full-duplex SLMs feel unnatural and unintelligent. In this paper, through an exhaustive fine-grained analysis of model optimization dynamics, we uncover the root cause of such performance degradation, revealing that modality interference arises from inherent gradient conflicts between acoustic and semantic modeling when the two modalities are forced to share a deep parameter space. Authors: Zhenyu Liu, Yunxin Li, Xuanyu Zhang.

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.

RuBench: A Repository-Level Agentic Coding Benchmark with Natively Authored Russian Task Specifications

Developers increasingly delegate real maintenance work to product-grade coding agents, and many state tasks in their native language, in the style of a customer request rather than a curated English issue. Existing repository-level agentic benchmarks do not measure this setting: their task statements are English by design. 0, a benchmark of 25 tasks mined from recent fix commits in five live open-source repositories (aiohttp, aiogram, Laravel, NestJS, Fastify; Python, PHP, TypeScript, JavaScript), where each task is specified natively in Russian -- written from scratch in the style of an actual customer request, not translated -- and judged by the upstream maintainer's regression tests, which we withhold from release.

An Experimental Design Approach to Evaluating Agentic AI's Autonomous Model Discovery

Large language model coding agents increasingly perform open-ended data modeling and analysis. These agents are stochastic and adaptive, and therefore their autonomous model discovery behavior cannot be adequately characterized by a single benchmark run. In this work, we propose an experimental design and analysis framework for systematically evaluating this discovery process, quantifying its variability, and identifying important factors.

Danus: Orchestrating Mathematical Reasoning Agents with Fact-Graph Memory

Recent LLM-based mathematical reasoning agents have begun to tackle research-level problems and, in several cases, have contributed to the resolution of open problems. However, scaling and orchestrating such agents effectively remains challenging, due to the difficulty of coordinating parallel proof search while keeping intermediate claims organized and reliable. In this paper, we propose Danus, an orchestration system for research-level mathematical reasoning centered on a shared fact graph as a global memory-management mechanism. Authors: Jihao Liu, Guoxiong Gao, Zeming Sun.

From Voting to Agent Collaboration: Answer-Type-Aware LLM Pipelines for BioASQ 14b

Biomedical question answering requires not only accurate extraction of information from scientific literature but also reliable integration of evidence across multiple documents. This study presents a question-type-specific large language model (LLM) framework for BioASQ 14b Task B, designed to improve answer robustness and evidence grounding in biomedical question answering. Rather than applying a single prompting strategy to all questions, the framework selects different inference procedures for yes/no, factoid, and list questions according to their distinct reasoning and evaluation requirements. Authors: Taeyun Roh, Eunha Lee, Wonjune Jang.

Lower Bounds for PIR with Preprocessing from Blackbox Cryptography

(shortened for arXiv metadata) We study the limits of single-server private information retrieval (PIR) with preprocessing. Prior work has shown that single-server PIR with sublinear communication requires a linear number of (public-key) server operations per query [DMO00, DH24]. Recent breakthrough works, including [CHK22, ZPZS24, LMW23], circumvent these lower bounds by critically leveraging preprocessing to construct single-server PIR with sublinear query computation.

Neural-ESO: A Dual-Pathway Architecture for Provably Robust Learning-Based Control

A learning-enabled disturbance-rejection framework based on a Neural Extended State Observer (Neural-ESO) is presented in this letter. Unlike existing learning-based control methods that largely rely on the learned model once deployed, Neural-ESO adopts a dual-pathway architecture: a predictive pathway uses a neural network to provide a feedforward disturbance estimate that accelerates convergence, while a corrective pathway employs a conventional ESO to compensate prediction errors and prevent over-reliance on the neural component. Using Lyapunov theory and a small-gain analysis, we show that enforcing a Lipschitz bound on the learning component guarantees uniform ultimate boundedness of the closed-loop error dynamics. Authors: Fan Zhang, Richie Suganda, Jinfeng Chen.

PiZZa Turns Your Raspberry Pi SBC Into a Powerful Arduino

Broadly speaking, you have two choices if you want your project to think using an off-the-shelf board: a single-board computer (SBC) or a microcontroller development board (MDB). An SBC has a lot more processing power, but it also requires an entire operating system to boot up. An MDB starts running firmware almost immediately, with more limited resources.

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).

Faster RCUs and lockless memory allocation

Puranjay Mohan shared some of the work he's been doing recently on improving the performance of read-copy-update (RCU) at the 2026 Linux Storage, Filesystem, Memory-Management, and BPF Summit; his talk would have been nice context to have earlier in the day when Harry Yoo and Alexei Starovoitov led a session about the new kmalloc_nolock() function that allows for lockless allocation from any kernel context, and which interacts with the RCU subsystem to allow that. This article therefore covers the two sessions together and in the reverse order, to provide that missing context.

Domain-Driven Design in Practice: A Large-Scale Empirical Characterisation of the Open-Source Ecosystem

Context: Domain-Driven Design (DDD) is a leading paradigm for managing software complexity, yet research remains largely theoretical; our prior work found nearly 39% of DDD studies lack rigorous empirical evaluation, leaving practical adoption largely unexamined at scale. Objective: We provide the first large-scale characterisation of the DDD landscape on GitHub, a data-driven baseline for how the paradigm is implemented and sustained in practice. Method: Using a Mining Software Repositories (MSR) approach with a hybrid strategy (topics and README keywords), we identified 11,742 candidate repositories.
