Who Can Change Course? An Integrative Review of AI Sovereignty and Collective Learning Capacity

AI sovereignty is commonly associated with control over data, infrastructure and technological dependencies. This integrative review examines how institutions convert those resources into capabilities that remain accountable and open to revision. It brings together 72 references on digital sovereignty, absorptive capac...

PReMISE: Policy Rubrics as Measurement Specifications for LLM Judges

LLM judges are increasingly used to evaluate open-ended responses, but their scores depend strongly on the rubrics that condition them. A vague rubric asking for a response to be ``helpful and factual'' can reward polished answers that invent facts or violate user intent. We treat reusable rubrics as measurement specif...

Beyond a Single Direction: Chain-of-Thought Disrupts Simple Steering of Refusal

Large reasoning models (LRMs) generate chain-of-thought (CoT) traces before producing final outputs, introducing a dynamic internal state that may complicate control mechanisms such as refusal. Unlike instruction-tuned LLMs, where refusal is mediated by a single directional subspace, refusal in large reasoning models (...

Learning Transferable Latent User Preferences for Human-Aligned Decision Making

Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly used as reasoning modules in many applications, yet they often struggle to produce human-aligned decisions. Human-aligned decision-making requires accounting for both explicitly stated goals and latent user preferences that shape how ambiguous situations should be resolved....

Mental Health AI Safety Claims Must Preserve Temporal Evidence

This paper proposes SCOPE-MH (Safety Claims Over Preserved Evidence) as a diagnostic complement to existing evaluation infrastructure and argues that evaluation preserving temporal evidence is necessary, not optional, for safety-critical mental health AI deployment.

From Debate to Decision: Conformal Social Choice for Safe Multi-Agent Deliberation

Multi-agent debate improves LLM reasoning, yet agreement is not evidence of correctness. When agents converge on a wrong answer through social reinforcement, consensus stopping commits that error to automated action with no recourse. We introduce Conformal Social Choice, a post-hoc layer that converts debate outputs in...

Tabular Foundation Models Can Learn Association Rules

This work introduces a model-agnostic association rule learning framework that extracts association rules from any conditional probabilistic model over tabular data, and introduces TabProbe, an instantiation of this framework that utilizes TFMs as conditional probability estimators to learn association rules out-of-the...

Agents-as-Peers: Bias-Controlled LLM Evaluation as Multi-Agent Peer Assessment

Large language model (LLM) evaluation commonly relies on fixed human-authored benchmarks or centralized human/model judges. Fixed benchmarks can age and enter model training corpora, while centralized judges introduce their own scoring preferences. We cast LLM evaluation as a multi-agent peer-assessment problem and i...

The Reward Model Selection Crisis in Personalized Alignment

The findings reveal that the field has been optimizing for proxy metrics that do not predict deployment performance, and that current personalized alignment methods fail to operationalize preferences into behavioral adaptation under realistic deployment constraints, and finds simple in-context learning (ICL) to be high...

Mitigating Model Merging Conflicts via Knowledge-Aware Task Vector Purification

Model merging aims to integrate task-specific abilities from individually fine-tuned models into a single model without extra training. In recent model merging methods, task vector has become a fundamental building block, as it can encapsulate the residual information from finetuning. However, the merged model often su...

VRPAgent: LLM-Driven Discovery of Heuristic Operators for Vehicle Routing Problems

Designing high-performing heuristics for vehicle routing problems (VRPs) is a complex task that requires both intuition and deep domain knowledge. Large language model (LLM)-based code generation has recently shown promise across many domains, but it still falls short of producing heuristics that rival those crafted by...

EMMA: Enhancing Robotic Control Robustness through a Generative Visual Model

The generalization of vision-language-action (VLA) models heavily relies on diverse training data. However, acquiring large-scale robot manipulation data across varied object appearances is costly and labor-intensive. To address this, we introduce Embodied Manipulation Media Adaptation (EMMA), a framework for augmentin...
