NeuronEye: Query-Guided Visual Concept Activation for Vision-Language Reasoning

Current vision-language models (VLMs) encode visual information in dense hidden states where object identity, spatial layout, and local attributes are implicitly entangled rather than explicitly disentangled, limiting their ability to isolate and modulate the specific visual evidence required by a given language query. Inspired by sparse population coding and top-down modulation in biological vision, we introduce NeuronEye, a plug-in framework that constructs a sparse, concept-level neuron vocabulary from intermediate VLM representations and selectively activates query-relevant visual concepts during inference. NeuronEye decomposes vision-token states into an overcomplete sparse basis organized by concept-level clusters, uses the language query to activate relevant clusters and localize the patches where selected concepts are expressed, and injects the focused evidence back into vision tokens. Authors: Ruiyu Yan, Bowen Chen, Shaowen Wan.

Guided Uncertainty-Aware Robust Domain Transfer

Artificial intelligence models deployed as clinical decision support tools often suffer substantial performance degradation over time and across institutions due to covariate shift, concept drift, and cross-system heterogeneity. Fully retraining complex models is frequently infeasible, particularly in EHR settings where labeled outcome data are scarce and regulatory constraints limit model modification. We propose GUARD (Guided and Uncertainty-Aware Robustness to Domain shift), a unified statistical framework for updating an existing deployed model using limited labeled target data and multiple heterogeneous source populations while guarding against future distributional shifts. Authors: Xin Xiong, Zijian Guo, Tianxi Cai.

Transferable Mass Spectrum Prediction via Reference-Guided Test-time Specialization

Tandem mass spectrum prediction supports compound identification across metabolomics, natural-product discovery, and environmental analysis. However, pretrained predictors often degrade under shifts in chemical space and acquisition conditions, while retraining domain-specific models from scratch is costly. We introduce SPARC, a retrieval-guided test-time specialization framework that adapts a pretrained predictor using a spectral reference library without accessing test-query spectra.

SCLATE: A Substrate for Continual-Learning Agent Training and Evaluation

Continual-learning agents are systems of models, harnesses, and memory operating over long multi-session horizons. Evaluating and training them requires interleaving tasks with agent-side events such as session stop and start, crons, and memory consolidation. Yet existing benchmarks and training frameworks schedule only the benchmark's own events, leaving each benchmark and agent pair to build a custom scheduling loop.

Semifactual Credit-Augmented Policy Optimization

Reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR) has improved the reasoning capabilities of large language models (LLMs), yet their predictions remain sensitive to task-irrelevant prompt features. We investigate this sensitivity through semifactual prompt interventions that preserve the underlying problem and its answer. Our analysis reveals substantial variation in token-level sensitivity and shows that suppressing high-drift token candidates during decoding improves reasoning accuracy without updating model weights.

Skill-Based AI Agents for Power-System Studies

This paper describes a skill-based agentic framework for power-system studies using Model Context Protocol (MCP)-connected engineering tools. A custom MCP server was developed to expose Siemens PTI PSSE functions for power-flow analysis, dynamic simulation, result extraction, and model-validation workflows. Two implementation pathways built on a programmable OpenAI Agents software development kit (SDK) and a Claude Code command-line interface (CLI) were evaluated, both using reusable skills, subagents, MCP tools, data-repository connections, and local shell/Python execution.

Cogentic: Multi-Agent Orchestration for Automated Proof Discovery

We present Cogentic, a multi-agent harness for automated proof discovery on open research problems. While frontier language models can generate strong mathematical ideas in a single shot, single-shot generation is often insufficient for open problems that require exploring multiple competing conjectures, overcoming subtle technical obstructions, and retaining intermediate progress over a long horizon. Cogentic addresses these challenges through an iterative prove--verify loop in which an orchestrator allocates a population of independent provers across distinct proof directions, subjects their output to adversarial verification by several specialized components, and promotes confirmed intermediate results into a persistent verified ledger that later rounds build on. Authors: Yang Cai, Vineet Gupta, Yanchen Jiang.

cua-speedrun: Standardized Benchmarking of the Speed of Computer-Use Agents

Computer use agents (CUAs), which use graphical user interfaces (GUIs) to complete tasks on a computer, have recently surpassed human performance on many standard benchmarks, including difficult long-horizon tasks. Their capabilities are undoubtedly impressive, however, a key barrier to the widespread adoption and deployment of CUAs remains their speed and cost. Progress towards faster yet capable CUAs requires reliable evaluation of their speed, but many CUA benchmarks currently face a reproducibility crisis.

How Much of a Harness Does a Strong Agent Need for Autonomous ML Engineering?

Recent autonomous machine learning engineering (MLE) agents have made significant progress on public leaderboards. Often motivated by progress stagnation over long-horizon cycles and limited Large Language Model (LLM) primitives, modern MLE agents are deployed on top of increasingly elaborate machinery: multi-agent orchestrators, dedicated retrieval subagents, and more. While such harnesses expand, the use of more primitive but improved coding agents - where LLMs have direct access to the execution environment through read, write, and bash primitives - has received little attention in the field.

WorldAuditBench: Interactive 3D World Auditing with Multimodal Agents

As interactive 3D worlds are increasingly used to study intelligent behavior, it becomes important to develop efficient pipelines for identifying anomalies in these simulated environments, such as floating objects, traversable walls, or objects inconsistent with the surrounding scene. Multimodal AI systems, including vision-language models (VLMs) and vision-language-action models (VLAs), have shown potential for automating this task. However, 3D world auditing is complex, requiring the close coupling of two distinct capabilities: action, to navigate the 3D world and search for anomalies systematically and efficiently; and visual reasoning, to understand the environment and identify anomalies from multimodal observations.

Exponential quantum speedup for \mathbbF_3^n-Subset-Sum? Or, rigorous classical algorithms for Binary-Error LWE

We study vector subset sum over \mathbbF_3^n: given m random vectors from \mathbbF_3^n, find a nonempty subset that sums to zero; the smaller m, the more difficult it is to find such a subset. Chen, Liu, and Zhandry (EUROCRYPT'22) introduced an efficient quantum algorithm that solves this problem when m\approx n^2/2, where a naive classical algorithm would require exponential time. Subsequently, Kothari, O'Donnell, and Wu (STOC'2026) gave an efficient classical algorithm that only requires m \approx n^2/3 vectors, thus removing the hope for an exponential quantum advantage in this parameter regime.

Need for Coherent Access in Constructing Quantum Cryptography

We construct quantum oracles relative to which quantum-secure one-way functions (OWFs) exist but pseudorandom states (PRSs) with superlogarithmic output length do not. At first glance, this appears to contradict the known black-box constructions of PRS generators from quantum-secure OWFs. The distinction lies in the access model to the oracles; our oracle separation uses classical-accessible random oracles that can be accessed only classically even by quantum algorithms.

Query-Limited RAM Programs and their Applications

Quantum one-time programs (Broadbent, Gutoski and Stebila, CRYPTO 2013) or OTPs for short, enable a functionality to be encoded into a quantum token that can be evaluated on a single chosen input and then becomes unusable. While powerful, this primitive is inherently stateless and tied to a setting in which a quantum token needs to be issued and distributed for every single evaluation of a circuit. This raises a natural question: can the one-time computation paradigm be extended to richer, stateful forms of controlled access, and would such an extension offer inherent advantages beyond standard OTPs?

Classical Verification of Quantum Computation with Quasilinear Resources, from Compiled Nonlocal Games

Computational self-testing gives a classical verifier command over the quantum register of a single computationally bounded prover. We use this framework to construct the first argument system for BQP with quasilinear total resource requirements in the circuit model. Our argument system is based on the learning with errors (LWE) assumption and requires total resources of O(poly(λ, \log g)* g) for delegating a circuit with g gates, where λ is the LWE security parameter.

Social-WM: Safety-Aware Latent World Models for Robot Social Navigation

Safe social navigation requires a robot to anticipate not only the future consequences of its actions, but also whether a nominal action can actually be executed under surrounding physical and social constraints. We present Social-WM, an efficient latent world-model planning framework trained from egocentric RGB video sequences. Our key observation is that social-navigation experience contains a systematic discrepancy between the nominal action and the realizable action: a nominal forward action may be fully executed in free space, but needs to be constrained when heading towards a pedestrian or obstacle.
