AISPA: User-Centric System Prompt Auditing for Large Language Model Applications

System prompts are instructions configured by developers to govern the behaviors of foundation models in AI applications. They are used throughout commercial AI products, but are rarely disclosed to the public or regulators, creating a serious trust and accountability gap in the wide deployment of AI systems. In this paper, we introduce Artificial Intelligence System Prompt Assurance (AISPA), a user-centric framework for systematically auditing system prompts in AI systems. Authors: Xiangning Lin, Shenzhe Zhu, Shu Yang.

MMAC: A Massive Multi-dimensional Benchmark for Audio Captioning

With the development of audio large language models (AudioLLMs), audio captioning needs to move from brief descriptions toward open-ended and fine-grained free-form descriptions. Existing evaluations often focus on generation quality or task performance, making it difficult to diagnose information coverage and description reliability. We propose MMAC, a Massive Multi-dimensional benchmark for Audio Captioning. Authors: Weijie Wu, Junbo Li, Lin Li.

GenRec: Towards LLM-Native Recommendation at Netflix

Authors: Ying Li, Arjun Rao, Shradha Sehgal Introduction Recommendations sit at the heart of the Netflix experience. Our current production models rely on thousands of hand‑crafted features over users, items, and interactions, along with specialized architectures for sequence modeling, feature interactions, and multi‑task objectives. This stack has evolved over many years to support diverse content types (movies, series, games, live, podcasts) and product surfaces, but its complexity makes it costly to onboard new use cases: adding a content type or surface can require significant feature engineering, architecture change, infrastructure work, and experimentation.

Change2Task: From Repository Changes to Executable Coding Agent Tasks and Environments

Scaling coding agents requires a continuing supply of executable data for training, benchmarking, and continuous evaluation. Each task must couple a realistic software state with a specification, development tools, and reliable verification. To expand this supply, we present Change2Task, a system grounded in repository history that converts merged pull requests into verified tasks on healthy modern revisions of the same repository.

ORCA-bench: How Ready Are Language Model Agents for Oncall?

Large language models can write, patch, and search code, but oncall root cause analysis (RCA) demands something different: reasoning over noisy metrics, logs, traces, and source code, starting from ambiguous user-facing reports, often hours after the incident began. We introduce ORCA-bench, a benchmark that puts general-purpose coding agents in a production-fidelity oncall setting. ORCA-bench pairs a live OpenTelemetry-instrumented microservice system--exposing six days of metrics, logs, and traces through real telemetry interfaces (Prometheus, Jaeger, and OpenSearch via Grafana) and full source-code access--with 1,079 RCA tasks that systematically vary report specificity, time-to-detection, and co-occurring fault scenarios.

We introduce OpenMLE, an open full-stack system for RSI research in MLE, spanning verifiable task environments with execution feedback (OpenMLE-Gym), operator learning (OpenMLE-RL), and long-horizon search (OpenMLE-Evo). On this stack we post-train Frontis-MA1 (35B) as a meta-evolution agent for MLE, aligning post-training and inference around four atomic program-evolution operators (Draft, Improve, Debug, Crossover): the same operators are trained via execution-grounded SFT and RL on data deduplicated against all evaluation benchmarks, then composed into long-horizon search, coupling learning and evolution in a single loop.

Beacon: Knowing When and How to Perform Agentic Visual Reasoning

The fundamental goal of agentic visual reasoning is to improve the success rate of multimodal large language models (MLLMs) on complex tasks, rather than merely equipping them with a sophisticated yet inefficient reasoning paradigm. In this work, we rethink agentic visual reasoning through two key dimensions of tool use: Mode Adaptiveness (MA) and Tool Effect (TE). Mode Adaptiveness characterizes whether an MLLM can recognize when tools are truly necessary and invoke them accordingly, thereby avoiding unnecessary computational overhead while improving performance on challenging problems that require tool assistance. Authors: Qixun Wang, Yang Shi, Letian Cheng.

TactiPlay: Multi-Granularity Tactical Parsing and Video-Anchored Match Review for Amateur Badminton Players

Amateur badminton players increasingly record matches, yet existing tools provide only aggregate statistics or generic summaries, leaving most unable to extract tactical insights without expert guidance. A formative study (N=8) reveals the need for multi-granularity, video-anchored tactical analysis centered on rallies. We derive a taxonomy of performance issues from national-level athletes' annotations and present TactiPlay, an interactive system that instantiates an expert-taxonomy-guided, rally-level, video-anchored review workflow.

GraphQAG: A Knowledge-Graph-Guided Visual Analytics Framework for Question-Answer Pairs Generation

Question-answer (QA) pairs are widely used in knowledge base construction, question-answering systems, and the post-training of large language models (LLMs). However, important knowledge in long documents is often distributed across multiple paragraphs and connected through complex entity relationships. Such fragmented and relational knowledge poses substantial challenges for existing QA generation methods, which often fail to adequately cover core document content, cross-paragraph semantic connections, and multi-entity relationships.

A subspace approach to data-driven predictive control for linear parameter-varying systems

This paper presents a subspace data-driven predictive control method for linear parameter-varying (LPV) systems. Starting from an affine LPV state-space model in innovation form, we derive a multi-step predictor that separates the effects of past data, future inputs, scheduling trajectories, and innovations. By projecting this representation onto the row span of lifted input-output-scheduling data, we obtain an asymptotically unbiased data-driven predictor that can be embedded directly in a receding-horizon control problem, without explicitly identifying an LPV model. Authors: Federico Porcari, Chris Verhoek, Valentina Breschi.

" The company announced ESP32-S31 development boards, the CoreBoard and Korvo, earlier this year as the first to be built around the part. Designed around the free and open-source RISC-V instruction set architecture, the ESP32-S31 doubles the usual core count to two 32-bit RISC-V cores running at up to 320MHz, includes a third ultra-low-power coprocessor, includes 512kB of static RAM (SRAM) for the main cores and 32kB for the ULP coprocessor, comes with 320kB of flash ROM with support for external flash and pseudo-static RAM (PSRAM) expansion, and includes 60 general-purpose input/output (GPIO) pins.

On the Implementation of Two-Parameter Stabilizing Controllers Using Stable-Block Input-Output Feedback Structures

This paper a universal implementation method for continuous- and discrete-time two-parameter (2-DOF) stabilizing controllers using exclusively stable constituent blocks. The framework is valid for all regular SISO and MIMO plants, particularly those failing to satisfy the parity interlacing property where unstable controllers are unavoidable. Unlike existing algebraic approaches that compromise parametric design freedom to force sub-block stability, the proposed method preserves design precedence. Authors: Fernando di Sciascio.

Manufacturers of old machines — if they're even still in business — have little interest in continuing support in the long term and so machines that cost tens (or hundreds) of thousands of dollars when new become literal scrap.
