Follow the Herd: A Data-Driven Approach for Actionable Recourse

As machine learning systems make increasingly greater decisions about people's lives, it is critical to provide users with actionable recourse about how they can achieve their desired outcomes. This problem is currently tackled by relying on expensive human supervision which involves hand-designing a cost function befo...

CASEL: Consequence-Aware Selective Execution for Reliable Long-Horizon Tool-Using Agents

Tool-using language agents increasingly modify external systems, yet most runtime safeguards allocate scrutiny by generic uncertainty scores or coarse mutation heuristics. We introduce CASEL (Consequence-Aware Selective Execution Layer), a model-agnostic runtime allocation policy that combines calibrated failure probab...

Monitor Accuracy Isn't the Answer: A Decision-Value Framework for Evaluating AI Agent Restart Monitors

Classification accuracy and true-positive and false-positive rates alone do not determine whether restarting an AI agent improves success. Using an exact alarm-to-action identity for an independent clean restart with zero monitoring overhead, we show analytically that a monitor with fixed 90% accuracy can swing from a...

ATEMPO: Amortized Transfer Entropy Model Per-lag Over-Time

When one time series informs another, the delay at which that information arrives determines if models can utilize this relationship effectively. A source may be strongly predictive at one delay but uninformative at neighboring lags. Therefore, fixed input windows may obscure this structure by bundling informative and...

MedConstBench: Benchmarking How Constitutions Steer LLMs in Medical Ethics

As large language models advance rapidly, they are increasingly used to answer medical questions, and many such models are now deployed locally. Once a model is deployed, its behavior is governed mainly by the ethical policy written into its constitution. However, most existing work focuses on factual correctness rathe...

AC-JEPA: Anchored Cross-Modal Joint Embedding Predictive Architecture for Visual-to-Symbolic Translation

Cross-modal translation requires models to capture shared semantics across modalities while preserving the fine-grained structure required by the target modality. Yet in real-world scientific domains, paired data are often imperfect, while obtaining clean pairs at scale is costly. Supervised fine-tuning (SFT) directly...

CogArena: Benchmarking Multimodal Agents on Interactive Behavioral Experiments

It is found that finishing an experiment and reproducing its signatures are different things, and across four multimodal models, each run ten times per task, it is found that finishing an experiment and reproducing its signatures are different things.

When to Intervene? An Empirical Study of Errors and Self-Recovery in LLM Agents

LLM agents interact with Web services to perform tasks on users' behalf. Errors during these interactions can disrupt execution and prevent task completion, motivating external intervention. However, agents may self-recover through continued execution, raising the question of when to intervene and when to wait for self...

Correction or Manipulation? Measuring Epistemic Vigilance in LLM Agents Under User Pressure

LLM agents that answer questions and act on behalf of users must decide when to yield to a user who disagrees. Disagreement may correct a genuine error or may be an attempt at manipulation. Prior work shows that models frequently abandon correct answers when challenged by users, yet it remains unclear whether they dist...

A Heart Means Recursion: Exploring Visual Meaning and Communication in VLMs

The findings reveal that VLMs might be capable of rich, creative, and visually-grounded communication, but their interpretation and production of visual meaning diverges from human conventions in surprising ways, and highlights both the promise and challenges of visual communication between humans and VLMs.

From Solver Trajectories to Teaching Trajectories: Cognition-Aligned Reasoning Distillation

Knowledge distillation from large reasoning models (LRMs) often uses raw teacher trajectories as supervision. However, this practice creates a mismatch between the goal of distillation and the nature of teacher trajectories. Advanced LRMs typically improve their reasoning capabilities through reward-driven post-trainin...
