Does Federated Training Degrade Explainability? A Comparative Analysis of Grad-CAM Faithfulness in Centralized vs. Federated Deepfake Detection

It is found that the relationship between federation and explanation quality is non-monotonic: at near-IID and moderate heterogeneity, federated models match or exceed the faithfulness of a centralized baseline, but at extreme heterogeneity, explanations break down entirely, becoming spatially incoherent and, on averag...

Kairos: Semantics-Aware Orchestration of Planning Engines across Classical, Numeric, Temporal and Hybrid PDDL

Planning at run time, as in robots that re-plan while they act, needs a planner that reads the PDDL its users write (durative actions, numeric resources, time windows, continuous change), answers quickly, and delivers only validated plans. Specialised planners are strong on individual fragments of PDDL, but they differ...

Timbre: Reliability-aware harmonic consensus for label-free multimodal test-time rexinforcement learning

Label-free test-time reinforcement learning adapts vision--language models using rewards derived from their own predictions. However, misinterpreted visual evidence and sensitivity to textual formulation can produce a consistent but incorrect consensus that majority voting reinforces. Cross-view aggregation can expose...

ATLAS-Bench: An Agentic Tool-Use Benchmark for Local Area Search

Reliable local search is essential for LLM agents to support everyday decisions and longer plans by finding places that meet users' needs at given times and locations. Yet existing benchmarks provide limited coverage of whether search results satisfy mandatory requirements, account for preferences, and ground factual a...

Verifiable LLM-Guided Focal SMT Solving for Quantified Arrays

Large language models can often identify useful semantic structure in formal artifacts, but their outputs cannot be trusted as proofs or solver decisions. We study whether LLMs can instead guide formal reasoning systems through a narrow, solver-verifiable interface. We instantiate this idea in quantified array SMT solv...

Retaining Repair Hypotheses for Cost-Aware Execution

Several corrections of an executable model can fit the same observations while predicting different execution outcomes. We study a repair-to-execution interface that retains compatible finite guard repairs, conditions their weights on diagnostic and ordinary-execution observations, and uses their predictions to choose...

Before the Next Rollout: Diagnosing Skill Utility Shifts from Policy Updates

Skill-evolution methods typically analyze execution trajectories to guide agent skill refinement. However, policy updates can change the behavioral effects and marginal utility of an unchanged skill. Attribution based on earlier trajectories may therefore no longer reflect the skill's contribution under the updated pol...

CoToan: Executable Rules and a Representation Contract for Reproducible Game AI Evaluation

Game AI results are comparable only when different implementations expose the same decision problem. Yet seemingly minor representation choices can silently change that problem by altering action probabilities or collapsing states with different outcomes. We study this issue through CoToan, an executable specification...

Proving and Improving the Platonic Representation Hypothesis with JEPAs

Whether models trained on different modalities converge to the same representation of the world is central to AI. The Platonic Representation Hypothesis (PRH) conjectures that they do as they scale, but without a proof it offers neither a guarantee nor a recipe. We turn the hypothesis into a theorem. First, we prove a...

What Does "Now" Mean to Your Computer-Use Agent? Stale Screenshots, Page Loads, and Which Check to Run Before a Click

Computer-use agents plan on a screenshot for several seconds and then click at a position on the screen; if the page has changed in the meantime, the click lands on an unintended element. Prior work treats the planning interval as the source of this risk. Measuring planned clicks on 31 public web pages, we find that th...

MemSteer: Turning User Histories into Supervision for Agent Memory Optimization

MemSteer is introduced, which turns unlabeled user histories into question-answer (QA) supervision with supporting evidence for memory-design optimization and develops MemSteer-Opt, which combines QA-based design evaluation with evidence-guided failure diagnosis to revise memory store, retrieval, and context constructi...
