WorldExam: Benchmarking World Models from Apparent Appearance to Inherent Reactivity

Controllable video generation models are increasingly being developed as world models. Accordingly, evaluating them in this role extends beyond the apparent appearance of generated videos to the inherent reactivity of the worlds they depict: the ability to infer from the scene state how the world should react and to generate plausible consequences not explicitly described in the input. Yet existing benchmarks mainly assess visual quality or explicit instruction fulfillment by checking whether requested actions and interaction outcomes are realized, leaving inherent reactivity underexamined. Authors: Yuxue Yang, Shuyao Shang, Jiahe Wang.

ACEM: A Cost Estimation Model for Agentic Software Engineering

Traditional software cost estimation models, such as COCOMO II, Function Points, and Story Points, assume that development effort is primarily driven by human labor in design, coding, and testing. Agentic software engineering, where autonomous AI agents perform substantial implementation work and humans focus on planning, specification, and validation, challenges this assumption. New cost dimensions arise: large language model (LLM) token consumption across agent actions, Human-in-the-Loop (HITL) oversight effort, and infrastructure costs for agent orchestration and tooling. Authors: Mohammad El-Ramly.

Magnet: Detecting Cross-Session AI Misuse Through Capability Accumulation

The most capable AI deployments are not single models but ensembles of specialized agents that delegate and act in coordination. This architecture unlocks powerful new capabilities, and it also introduces risks that existing frameworks for monitoring, detection, and mitigation were not designed to address. Most state-of-the-art AI abuse detection literature focuses on single-turn or multi-turn (single-session) threat models. Authors: Natalie Isak, Matthew Dressman.

SWE-Touch: Benchmarking Coding Agents When Users Touch the Code

Real-world software development requires coding agents to operate in shared workspaces where users may inspect and modify code during an ongoing task, yet existing repository-level benchmarks typically evaluate agents working alone or restrict user participation to messages. This leads us to ask: how do coding agents understand and respond to code changes in a shared workspace? We introduce SWE-Touch, a framework that stress-tests this setting through validated Counter-Edits: plausible edits to task-relevant code that conflict with task completion. Authors: Yuqiao Tan, Jinxiang Meng, Fangyu Lei.

A Taxonomy of Cognitive Capability Gaps in Generative and Agentic AI

Cognitive AI seeks to move beyond language generation and autonomous task execution toward systems capable of sustained reasoning, adaptive behavior, persistent memory, and self-regulation. While generative and agentic AI have demonstrated impressive capabilities across a wide range of tasks, many fundamental cognitive functions remain fragmented or weakly developed, limiting reliable operation over extended time horizons. This paper presents a taxonomy-driven survey of the major cognitive capability gaps that continue to constrain the development of Cognitive AI. Authors: Taye Akinrele, Sindhuja Penchala, Noorbakhsh Amiri Golilarz.

LiveMem: Maintaining Memory State Continuity in Long-Running LLM Inference

Long-running assistants and agents consume interaction streams that eventually outgrow the context. Existing context retention, summarization, and retrieval preserve access to selected history, but do not provide a persistent state over the full lifecycle when working context changes. We formulate this missing inference capability as state continuity under context turnover: carrying computation forward through a fixed-capacity memory state whose lifetime is independent of the active context. Authors: Zhichen Liu, Ruihan Sun, Hengjie Yang.

Solving the Shortest Vector Problem in time 2^0.6039n Time via Mid-point Hessian

We present randomized algorithms for the shortest vector problem (SVP). 5n+o(n), improving the previous best algorithm running in 2^n+o(n) time and space of Aggarwal, Dadush, Regev, and Stephens-Davidowitz [STOC'15]. Our algorithms heavily use the property of the Hessian of the periodic Gaussian function at the half shortest vector: For a shortest vector v \in \mathcal L, the Hessian at v/2 has the eigenvector close to v, which can be used to recover v using the (preprocessing) bounded distance decoding algorithm. Authors: Minki Hhan.

Bridging Artificial Intelligence and Power Systems Education Using a Hands-On Executable Framework

Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly central to power and energy systems, supporting modeling, forecasting, optimization, and control. Yet most existing works emphasize specialized applications and offer little reusable material for newcomers or interdisciplinary learners, who increasingly rely on large language models rather than building their own. This gap points to a need for engineering-grounded AI (EGAI), in which AI workflows follow established engineering and power-system domain rules rather than acting as task-agnostic black boxes. Authors: Junjie Yin, Buxin She, Xinyu Feng.

MoRAL: Sensor-Grounded BEV Reasoning for Compact VLMs toward Edge-Oriented Autonomous Driving

Deploying vision-language models (VLMs) for safety-critical spatial reasoning on resource-constrained autonomous driving platforms requires both compact model size and reliable metric grounding. We present MoRAL (Multimodal Reasoning for Autonomous Language Models), a two-stage fine-tuning pipeline that teaches Cosmos-Reason2-2B to first read a physics-encoded Bird's Eye View (BEV) representation and then reason over it for driving decisions. The BEV image encodes LiDAR metric distance as color bands, object class as cluster morphology, and radar Doppler velocity as directional wedge overlays, externalizing spatial perception into the input image so that no learned 3D backbone is required at inference. Authors: Ambarish Govindarajulu Kaliamurthi, Kaikai Liu.

Looking to Increase the Strength of Your 3D-Printed PLA Parts? Give Them a Shake, Researchers Say

Vibration, normally an unwanted force that serves to ruin the finish of your 3D prints, could be harnessed to deliver stronger PLA prints on fused filament fabrication (FFF, also known as FDM) 3D printers — at least, according to researchers from the University of Ha'il, the Higher Institute for Technical Sciences Tarhuna, the University of Sfax, and the University of Sousse. "Material Extrusion (MEX), particularly Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF), commercially known as Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM), has become one of the most widely used additive manufacturing technologies for producing polymer components," the team explains by way of background to the work. "However, the mechanical performance of printed parts remains limited by weak interlayer bonding and internal porosity.

Situation Aware Frontier Prioritization for Quadruped Search and Rescue

Quadruped robots are a promising platform for search and rescue missions because they can navigate cluttered indoor environments that may be restrictive for wheeled systems. However, in unknown rescue scenarios, autonomous exploration must balance map expansion with the likelihood of finding victims, which is not explicitly addressed by clas- sical frontier selection strategies. This paper presents a situation aware frontier prioritization method for single robot quadruped search and rescue. Authors: Kevin Farias, Santiago Martin, Barbara Flores.

Buffer sizes for FUSE io_uring

The Filesystem in Userspace (FUSE) subsystem provides a way to service filesystem requests from a user-space server, which moves the format-handling code out of the kernel. The FUSE server can use the io_uring facility for better performance, but Bernd Schubert is concerned that memory is being wasted because the current implementation has a single, large buffer size that is excessive for small I/O operations. He led a discussion on that topic in the filesystem track of the 2026 Linux Storage, Filesystem, Memory Management, and BPF Summit in Zagreb, Croatia.

Decomposing the Doer Effect in Programming Practice: Code Writing Stands Out Among Active Practice

The "doer effect" suggests that actively doing practice activities is more strongly associated with learning outcomes than passively viewing content. In the doer effect literature, "doing" refers specifically to active practice. However, this categorization treats different forms of active practice as equivalent, leaving open whether some types of active practice are more effective than others.
