What Can Firms Do in the Face of Model Distillation?

Model distillation has become a major concern in the rapidly growing generative AI discourse. In its simplest form, distillation is the phenomenon where smaller firms can use data distilled from transcripts of conversations with powerful proprietary closed-weight models to train their own models, thus achieving reasona...

Interpretable Feature Discovery from Unstructured Data Using LLMs and Statistical Choice Models

Feature extraction from unstructured data typically relies on opaque embeddings unsuited to interpretable decision-making. Interpretable features, on the other hand, typically require costly, and often infeasible, hand-engineering. Large language models (LLMs) offer a natural bridge, as they can read raw data and descr...

Prompt Lottery in LLM-as-a-Judge: Measuring and Mitigating Sensitivity to Syntactic Rephrasing

LLM-as-a-Judge has become a standard for evaluating large language models, yet most approaches implicitly assume that a single judge prompt functions as a stable evaluation instrument. Prior work has primarily explored deliberate prompt modifications such as scoring rubrics, role descriptions, or chain-of-thought reaso...

From Error Prediction to Causal Influence: Auditing SAE Features in Multiple-Choice QA

Sparse autoencoders (SAEs) can predict internal features associated with model errors, but association alone does not establish causal influence. We study this distinction in multiple-choice question answering, where answer preference can be measured by the logit margin between the correct answer and the competing choi...

Can Event Detectors Leave the Broadcast Camera? Evidence from Tennis

Ball bounces and racket hits are the events from which tennis statistics are derived, and on monocular video the two are easy to confuse. We release a benchmark of 345 bounce and hit annotations at frame level on eight clips that mix broadcast, fixed elevated, phone and court-level viewpoints, with a frozen development...

EARS-Info: Information-Aware Event-Driven Reallocation for Multi-Robot Exploration

We introduce EARS-Info, an information-aware extension of Event-Driven Ant Reallocation Search for multi-robot exploration on OpenStreetMap-derived grids. It combines marginal sensing gain, feasible relocation, return-aware routing, sensing reservations, and cached shortest paths. Across 168,000 episodes comparing 30 i...

Measuring Deep Learning Performance - An Empirical Study of Performance Distributions Across Architectures and Tasks

Context: Non-determinism in deep learning algorithm design and implementation leads to performance variation, meaning model performance is not a single value, but rather a distribution. These model performance distributions are underexplored despite their impact on robustness. Objective: We investigate the robustness o...

METATRON: A Promptable Whole-Body Execution Layer for Humanoids

Humanoid controllers often require task-specific training despite sharing the need for balance and whole-body coordination. We present Metatron, a promptable whole-body execution layer combining a generative base policy with a programmable skill layer. The base policy receives partial goals, collectively called a promp...

Making Sense of Audience Change: Causal Attribution and Boundary Management on Xiaohongshu

Recommendation-driven platforms can reshape not only what users see, but also who becomes visible and how community boundaries are negotiated. We examine Xiaohongshu discussions surrounding a perceived World Cup-related audience influx to understand how users attributed community change and how those explanations relat...

Making Smart Homes Fit for Autistic Children: Family Work and Monitored Independence

General-purpose smart-home technologies are increasingly present in family life, yet how they support or disrupt autistic children and families with autistic children remains underexamined. We conducted a multi-source qualitative study drawing on five caregiver interviews, Xiaohongshu (also known internationally as Red...

Are Seismic Foundation Models More Than Glorified Feature Extractors?

Earthquake sequences are stochastic on two separated timescales: the seismic waves of any individual earthquake propagate over seconds to minutes, while the earthquakes themselves arrive as a sparse, self-exciting occurrence process, with inter-event intervals from seconds to months. Respecting both scales in one train...
