ViHoRec: A Quality-Controlled Vietnamese Hotel Recommendation Dataset and Cold-Start Benchmark

Recommender-system research for Vietnamese remains limited by the absence of a public, well-documented hotel interaction resource. Building such a resource is challenging for three reasons: cross-platform hotel names must be reconciled before interactions are comparable; quality must be audited with reproducible metrics rather than ad hoc cleaning; and public release must preserve privacy while remaining benchmarkable under realistic cold-start conditions. com, Traveloka, and Ivivu.

Real-time fall detection based on vision for low-power edge platforms

Falling detection is vital for elderly care and intelligent surveillance; however, prevailing vision-based approaches predominantly frame it as static pose classification or discrete temporal pattern matching, fundamentally overlooking the instability dynamics of the human support system. This paper proposes a physics-informed falling detection framework that recasts falling as a stability-loss event in a coupled dynamical system. We introduce a novel dual-LTC architecture comprising a Center-of-Mass (CoM) subsystem and a Base-of-Support (BoS) subsystem, both instantiated as Liquid Time-Constant (LTC) neural networks to continuously model inertial trajectory evolution and ground-contact adjustment through adaptive time constants, Physical interpretability of falling motion.

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.

Agent Skill Security: Threat Models, Attacks, Defenses, and Evaluation

Reusable skills are becoming a fundamental building block of Large Language Model (LLM) agents, enabling capabilities to be packaged, shared, and reused across diverse applications. However, existing security research primarily focuses on prompt injection and runtime execution, leaving security risks throughout the broader skill lifecycle largely unexplored. In this paper, we present SkillSec-Eval, a lifecycle-aware framework for systematically evaluating the security of reusable agent skills. Authors: Sanket Badhe, Priyanka Tiwari.

The Dynamic Verifiable Multi-Agent Human Agentic Loyalty Loop (DVM-HALL) Model and the Net Human-Agent Score (NHAS) in Autonomous Commerce

The rapid proliferation of Agentic Artificial Intelligence fundamentally disrupts traditional customer loyalty paradigms. As AI evolves from passive recommendation algorithms to autonomous, goal-directed agents capable of executing purchasing decisions, the conventional understanding of consumer-brand relationships requires a structural reevaluation. By synthesizing extant literature across human-machine teaming, consumer decision-making, and algorithmic trust dynamics, we demonstrate that traditional loyalty models fail to account for algorithmic bounded rationality and constructed autonomy.

Do Agent Optimizers Compound? A Continual-Learning Evaluation on Terminal-Bench 2.0

Most reported gains from agent-optimization methods are one-shot: an agent is optimized against a fixed benchmark and the resulting improvement is reported as if it were a stable property of the method. This does not test the setting that matters for deployed agents, where optimization is applied recursively as new failures and new tasks appear over time. The central question this raises is whether optimizer-driven gains compound: after an agent has been optimized once, can it be optimized again on newly arrived tasks without eroding the gains the first round produced? Authors: Wenxiao Wang, Priyatham Kattakinda, Soheil Feizi.

Early Adoption of Agentic Coding Tools by GitHub Projects

Agentic coding tools are increasingly capable of generating and submitting pull requests (PRs) to software projects, introducing new forms of human-agent collaboration in software development. While prior studies have examined PR-level outcomes of agent-generated contributions, less is known about how agentic coding tools are adopted and managed at the project level. In this paper, we analyze 25,264 agentic PRs from 2,361 popular GitHub repositories to investigate (1) the adoption of agentic coding tools, (2) project-level agentic PR productivity, and (3) human-agent collaboration patterns.

ProfMalPlus: Agent-Coordinated Detection of Malicious NPM Packages via Static-Dynamic Analysis Synergy

Open source software is vulnerable to supply-chain attacks through transitive dependencies, especially malicious code injected into NPM packages. Existing detectors often inadequately model obfuscated behavior, overlook JavaScript's object-centric features, poorly coordinate static and dynamic analysis, and lose semantic information during behavior abstraction. We propose ProfMalPlus, a malicious NPM package detector combining object-sensitive behavior graphs with coordinated LLM reasoning over annotated code slices.

HORCRUX: A Complete PQC RISC-V eXtension Architecture

This work presents a compact RISC-V extension for Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) called HORCRUX, which provides a unified Instruction-Set Extension (ISE) supporting all NIST-approved PQC algorithms. HORCRUX addresses the difficult trade-off between crypto-agility, high performance, and low resource consumption in constrained environments, a balance typically missing in hardware extensions that focus on limited PQC subsets. By targeting shared kernels across ML-KEM, MLDSA, SLH-DSA, HQC, and Falcon, the extension introduces new RISC-V instructions executed by a resource-efficient, tightly coupled coprocessor.

Sensing the properties of virtual objects without physical feedback

People who have interacted with simulated worlds and simulated objects in extended reality (XR) often have a sense that they can 'feel' the objects being simulated despite them not being physical. Our sense of touch is essential for how we 'feel' the physical world, however, there is an open question as to what it means to 'feel' virtual objects when interacting with them in immersive digital environments. In prior research, we have reported that participants often describe a subjective experience of 'feeling' the properties of simulated molecular objects while using interactive molecular dynamics in extended reality (iMD-XR), a field-based interaction paradigm for manipulating real-time simulations of molecular objects without haptic feedback. Authors: Rhoslyn Roebuck Williams, Harry J. Stroud, Luis E. Toledo.

We present TrailLM, a system that helps users reconstruct and revisit their exploration paths to support reflection and metacognitive engagement during information seeking.

CD-MED: Cross-Domain Multimodal Emotion Descriptor for Visual Comparison of Digital Objects

Digital objects express emotions through different modalities. For example, a movie may include visual scenes, audio, dialogue, and facial expressions, while a song may contain melody, rhythm, lyrics, and vocal tone. Because existing emotion recognition models are usually modality-specific, it is difficult to compare such objects directly. Authors: Elnara Kadyrgali, Muragul Muratbekova, Pakizar Shamoi.

Industrial Dexterity Benchmark: A Hardware-Software Benchmarking Platform for Industrial Dexterous Manipulation

Dexterous manipulation remains a critical bottleneck in industrial automation; tasks such as cable routing, connector insertion, and precision assembly still rely heavily on manual labor despite decades of robotics research. This work presents a progression from classical, modular robotics pipelines toward an end-to-end multimodal imitation-learning framework for industrial dexterous manipulation. As a part of this work, we introduce three key contributions: a set of Industrial Dexterity Benchmark (IDB) boards aimed to mimic datacenter cable management, automotive cable harnesses, and gearbox assembly tasks; a scalable imitation learning framework (DAG-ROS); and a multimodal diffusion-based policy framework (AG-iDP3) that creates models fusing RGB images, point clouds, joint positions, and wrist-frame wrench data.

On 20 ISCA 2025 and HPCA 2026 papers, ten researchers each wrote their own analyses and then judged, for papers other than their own, the human analysis against Gauntlet's.

HiFi-LLP: High-Fidelity, Low-Cost Latency Predictors with Confidence for Robust HW-NAS

With deep neural networks (DNNs) increasingly deployed on edge devices, hardware (HW)-aware optimization techniques--such as HW-aware compression and HW-aware neural architecture search (HW-NAS)--have become essential. These methods rely on real feedback from the target hardware to tailor DNN architectures for efficient deployment. While the search can be parallelized, latency measurements via hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) remain a bottleneck due to their sequential nature.

Topics in filesystem testing

It should come as no surprise that a gathering of filesystem developers would discuss filesystem testing; it has been a mainstay of the Linux Storage, Filesystem, Memory Management, and BPF Summit over the years and the 2026 summit was no exception. Ted Ts'o led the discussion this time; he had a few different topics to raise, including his perception of increasing regressions for ext4 in the stable kernels and what can be done to help reduce them. As with other similar sessions at the summit over the years, there is a lot of interest in collaborating on test inputs and outputs, but finding a way to centralize that information has so far eluded the filesystem community.
