A Durability and Cross-Language Transfer Benchmark for a Validated Teaching-Feedback Classification Protocol

Institutions collect far more open-ended teaching-evaluation feedback than they read. A prior study introduced a validated protocol for classifying such comments by thematic category and sentiment, built from a documented annotation guide, an intra-annotator reliability measurement, stratified cross-validation, and a held-out evaluation on a Spanish institutional corpus with a frozen-encoder design. Two questions limit its reuse: whether a protocol fixed to 2019-era frozen embeddings stays competitive as representation methods advance, and whether it transfers to a second language. Authors: Esteban U. Vega Barajas.

Invariant Learning Dynamics of Transformers in Inductive Reasoning Tasks

We present a theoretical framework to explain the emergence of inductive reasoning abilities in Transformer language models. While previous works on Transformer learning dynamics have so far been mostly tied to specific tasks, we study a generalized class of inductive tasks that unifies several synthetic tasks known in the literature, including in-context n-grams and multi-hop reasoning. In this class, we theoretically prove that the training dynamics of attention models can be confined to a highly interpretable, low-dimensional invariant manifold. Authors: Tiberiu Musat, Tiago Pimentel, Nicholas Zucchet.

Read It Back: Pretrained MLLMs Are Zero-Shot Reward Models for Text-to-Image Generation

In this paper, we propose SpectraReward, a training-free reward function that turns pretrained MLLMs into off-the-shelf reward models for image-generation reinforcement learning. Instead of asking the MLLM to judge a generated image or answer decomposed verification questions, SpectraReward measures how well the original prompt can be recovered from the generated image through a single image-conditioned, teacher-forced forward pass. We use the average image-conditioned prompt log-likelihood as the reward, directly reusing the MLLM's pretrained image-text alignment ability without preference labels, reward-model fine-tuning. Authors: Runhui Huang, Qihui Zhang, Zhe Liu.

Agent Hacks Agent: Autoresearch for Production-Agent Red-Teaming

Production LLM agents such as Claude Code and Codex operate over untrusted content, files, commands, and workspace state, making safety failures directly actionable. Red-teaming must therefore keep pace with evolving models and tools. Existing approaches mainly optimize attack success and preserve artifacts such as benchmarks, payloads, or attack programs, which record where attacks succeed but not the enabling conditions behind unsafe agent behavior.

MM-ToolSandBox: A Unified Framework for Evaluating Visual Tool-Calling Agents

We introduce MM-ToolSandBox, a benchmark and evaluation framework for visually grounded tool-calling agents. The framework provides a stateful execution environment spanning 500+ tools across 16 application domains, supporting multi-image, multi-turn tasks where agents must ground progressively arriving visual inputs into executable tool calls while handling realistic conversational phenomena (goal revisions, error corrections, state mutations). An automated scenario generation pipeline produces diverse, visually grounded scenarios through information-flow-guided planning and multi-stage quality filtering, yielding 258 human-verified nominal scenarios and 50 variants targeting interactive UI applications.

Forgetting Our Way to Shared Meaning: Effects of Forgetting on Conceptual Alignment in a Non-Partnership Coordination Game

Shared meaning in language requires people to learn and agree on categories. We ask how characteristics of agents' memories change the emergence and evolution of shared meaning. Without a coordination game, models of conceptual semantics cannot explain how shared meaning emerges and changes in groups of people; however, existing games assume that players share payoffs in a partnership setting.

Paradoxes of Game Theoretic Equilibria and Price of Anarchy

For decades, static solution concepts (Nash, Correlated, and Coarse Correlated Equilibria) and the Price of Anarchy (PoA) have formed the bedrock of algorithmic game theory, with no-regret learning proving fast convergence to such game-theoretic equilibria. We show that reducing multi-agent learning to static equilibrium and black-box regret analysis obscures underlying dynamic disequilibrium and game theoretic bounds. First, interior Nash equilibria lack C^1 vector field information, meaning agents cannot distinguish aligned from strictly opposing incentives. Authors: Georgios Piliouras, Ian Gemp, Siqi Liu.

When Local Monitors Miss Compositional Harm: Diagnosing Distributed Backdoors in Multi-Agent Systems

As multi-agent, tool-using LLM systems are deployed, a common safety net is a runtime monitor that checks each message, tool call, or step on its own. We show this net has a fundamental hole. A distributed backdoor splits a harmful payload across agents, so every local check passes while the assembled object is the attack. Authors: Yibo Hu, Ren Wang.

HandPad: A Bimanual Hand Interface for Fluid Window Interactions in VR

Virtual Reality (VR) offers potential for productivity work by creating expansive displays anywhere, yet current systems often rely on external input devices that limit the on-the-go use of mobile VR. We introduce HandPad, a suite of bare-hand interaction techniques that leverage the benefits of asymmetric bimanual coordination and self-haptic support. HandPad assigns the non-dominant hand (NDH) to establish spatial frames and interaction contexts, while the dominant hand (DH) performs fine-grained manipulation.

FIERO: Empowering Creative Writing Through Collaborative Game Play

Creativity often flourishes in collaboration, such as when designers brainstorm a new app together, or storytellers collectively build a world with elements of each person's narrative. However, collaborative storytelling can have challenges for its participants, such as when they disagree about the plot proposed, or when different ideas become fragmented when voiced individually. While current tools for creative collaboration focus on synchronous online text sharing, they often neglect the social dynamics of in-person collaboration critical to creative synergy.

MIRA: A Modular Open-Source Micro-UAV for Indoor Research

Indoor robotics research increasingly relies on micro-UAVs whose airframe, electronics, and control software are fully open to modification. Off-the-shelf platforms rarely expose the low-level access required for such modifications, while building a custom alternative typically requires substantial engineering effort before flight testing can begin, leaving many laboratories to work within constraints that limit the scope of their research. We present MIRA (Modular Indoor Research Architecture), a low-cost, open-source micro-UAV for indoor research built around a replicable 3D-printed PLA airframe and a containerized low-level software package managing the companion-to-autopilot communication bridge via Micro XRCE-DDS.

Active Noise Floor Estimation for Reliability-Optimal POMDPs: A Value-of-Noise-Information Approach

Finite Reliability Representations (FRR) certify when a cell-constant policy is sufficient for reliable decision-making in a partially observed system with a known physical noise floor. In practice, however, sensing and execution noise can be latent and context-dependent. This paper develops a certificate-aware active disambiguation framework for an unknown physical noise parameter theta = (sigma_y, sigma_u), with the sensor-only case obtained by fixing sigma_u.

Self-Healing Visual Recovery for Autonomous Ground Vehicles Using Camera-Only Visual Odometry

Low-cost unmanned ground vehicles are often used in indoor places like warehouses, inspection corridors, and farm rows, where painted floor lines guide the robot. Line following is useful because it only needs one camera and little computing power, but it can fail when the line is blocked or turns sharply and goes out of view. Sensor-rich platforms tolerate this through hardware redundancy (LiDAR, GPS, multiple cameras), but camera-only systems must recover at runtime with no additional infrastructure.
