Scaling Hindi Quantum Natural Language Processing through Automatic Pregroup Supertagging

Quantum Natural Language Processing (QNLP) uses pregroup grammars to translate grammatical structure into diagrammatic representations and quantum circuits. Recent Hindi QNLP work has shown that Hindi-specific pregroup grammars can support grammar-sensitive compositional models, but grammatical type assignment is still largely manual, limiting scalability. This paper formulates automatic Hindi pregroup supertagging as a token-level classification task. Using a manually annotated corpus of 380 Hindi sentences, we evaluate lexical, contextual, prompting-based, lexical-repair, and suffix/morphology-aware methods. Results show that simple lexical and contextual models are strong in this low-resource setting: contextual backoff achieves the best completed accuracy of 64.56\%, while raw Qwen2.5 prompting reaches only 11.65\%. Lexical repair raises LLM-assisted prediction to 64.08\%, demonstrating the value of constraining generative outputs with symbolic grammar knowledge. Diagnostic analysis further shows that seen and unambiguous tokens are much easier than unseen tokens, and suffix/morphology features improve karaka-token accuracy but not overall performance. These results show that automatic Hindi pregroup assignment is feasible and can reduce reliance on manual annotation in future multilingual QNLP pipelines.

AgentDrift: A Step-Labeled Benchmark of Injection-Hijacked LLM Agent Trajectories

LLM agents complete tasks by issuing sequences of tool calls, and every observation they read is a channel through which an indirect prompt injection can enter. A successful injection has a characteristic shape when the trajectory is read in order: a benign prefix gives way to actions that serve the attacker rather than the user. Existing benchmarks measure whether such attacks succeed against live agents, and existing guard models judge a trace as a whole; no public corpus labels, step by step, where an injection enters a trajectory and which steps it corrupts. We present AgentDrift, a benchmark of 12,536 synthetic tool-call trajectories over five agent domains in which every one of the 71,024 steps carries one of four labels: benign, injection point, hijacked, or failed injection. The corpus contains 4,000 benign, 5,536 attacked, 1,500 failed-attack, and 1,500 hard-negative trajectories; attacked trajectories follow three compliance patterns whose label strings obey a stated regular grammar. Failed attacks carry an injection the agent resisted, and hard negatives carry legitimate content that resembles an attack, so a detector must separate attempt from success and deviation from novelty. Trajectories were generated by a single open model under category-specific protocols, enforced by a closed-vocabulary structural validator, screened by an LLM judge, and audited by hand on 1,200 trajectories; we show that the LLM judge was itself fooled by the hard negatives. A surface-feature logistic regression recovers only 55.4% of attacks (F1 0.647), including only 8.2% of partial hijacks and 23.1% of delayed executions, so nearly half of the attacks require modeling the behavioral sequence. We measure template concentration, attack-goal-family collapse, and world-identity leakage in the generated data, and release the corpus with its documentation under CC BY 4.0.

A Schema Bounded Language Model for Refining Robot Policies Without Destabilizing Local Learning

This paper addresses navigation by composite heterogeneous robots in a decentralized system when policy reasoning and local control operate at different update levels. In a NetLogo--Python implementation, three robots share motion dynamics but use different LLM backends. Each robot independently combines a large language model (LLM) policy agent, an Upper Confidence Bound (UCB) bandit, and a Double Deep Q-Network (Double DQN) controller; no central LLM generates team actions. LLM inference is confined to round-level policy generation and refinement rather than tick-level action selection. The robots perform cross-LLM communication through a shared round summary containing policies, outcomes, and learning feedback. UCB performs refinement-mode selection, and the policy-conditioned Double DQN performs tick-level action selection from navigation variables, active policy parameters, and the LLM action prior. Each of the four configurations was evaluated over 30 rounds. In the fixed simulation, the complete configuration reached the goal in all 90 correlated robot--round records and achieved the lowest median completion time (42 ticks) and P90 (73.2 ticks); its median was 25.0--39.1\% lower than those of the other configurations. These observations provide descriptive, configuration-level evidence from the evaluated configurations.
