Base Models Can Detect Hidden Intentions that Prompted Classifiers Miss

The Persona Selection Model (PSM) posits that post-training selects a persona the model learned during pre-training. Work on subliminal learning has shown that models can impart covert signals (like "love of owls") into semantically unrelated outputs like strings of numbers, and that students trained on these outputs i...

count-catcher: Lean Theorems from Model Counting Certificates

We present count-catcher, a tool that turns a CPOG certificate of a count by the exact model counter d4 into a Lean theorem that a CNF formula defined in Lean has exactly N models over V variables. With an encoding lemma, this theorem becomes a theorem about the number of combinatorial objects. A CPOG certificate consi...

Beyond the Estimate: Wiener-Informed Decoding for Easier Training of Pixel-Space Flow Models

Frozen Wiener estimates improve velocity learning, with gains extending beyond the linear predictions they explicitly provide, which motivate Wiener-informed Decoding (WiD), which uses statistical knowledge both for direct prediction and to organize decoder computation without modifying native blocks.

Can AI Guide Testing Without Generating Tests? A Comparative Study of AI-Assisted Unit Testing

Recent advances in generative AI have enabled assistants to generate increasingly sophisticated executable unit tests. However, novices may accept these outputs without independently identifying what to test, evaluating test-suite completeness, or verifying correctness, potentially limiting opportunities to develop ess...

Stratum: Repository Memory for Coding Agents Beyond the Context Window

Context windows have grown a thousand-fold, yet coding agents still start every session with no memory of their past work. They re-read files, retry failed approaches, and forget root causes they established hours earlier. This is not a context-length problem but a memory-architecture problem. Our hypothesis: coding ag...

Replication or Corroboration? An Axiomatic Framework for Evidential Dependence in Multi-Agent Debate

In multi-agent debates, matching reports can arise for two different reasons: agents may repeat the same evidence (replication), or they may provide separate evidential roots that support the same claim (corroboration). A judge must distinguish these two cases. Counting report occurrences gives extra weight to relays,...

Physical structure as an organizing principle for universal Hamiltonian learning

Density functional theory (DFT) gives the electronic structure of materials, but its cost limits large-supercell calculations and materials screening. Machine-learned Hamiltonians bypass the self-consistent cycle but are usually system-specific; universal ones could cover new compositions and disordered solids. Such mo...

When Connectivity Misleads: Guiding Agentic Search with Contrastive Evidence Paths

Search agents can use cross-document graphs to discover sources through multi-hop connections and choose subsequent actions based on candidate rankings and relationships within a limited observation window. However, documents may rank highly because their numerous connections make them easier to reach, without necessar...

Context Is a Pipeline, Not a Window: Information Attrition in LLM Agent Harnesses

LLM agents are judged by two numbers: the size of the context window, and how often the final answer is correct. Both numbers miss a third thing: how much of a tool's output is lost before the model ever sees it. We measured this loss in a real tool-using agent. The agent finds the cause of injected faults by reading L...

Scaling and Renormalization in Neural Networks: An Effective Renormalization-Group Description of Grokking

Grokking is a delayed transition from memorization to generalization in deep neural networks (NNs). We examine whether scaling and renormalization group (RG) theories can describe this dynamics, establishing a quantitative physical framework for neural generalization transitions. For modular addition on a two-layer NN,...

Dirichlet Process Mixtures within Semiparametric Bayesian Networks: A Novel Conditional Density Estimation Approach

Semiparametric Bayesian networks (SPBNs) are flexible probabilistic graphical models for representing joint distributions of continuous variables through lower-dimensional conditional probability distributions (CPDs). Existing SPBN models use kernel density estimators (KDEs) for non-parametric CPD modeling, but their o...
