Evaluating language agents on open-ended, artifact-producing tasks is difficult: model-based graders can be inconsistent, while exhaustive programmatic checks are often impractical. Textual rubrics make evaluation criteria explicit, but writing them requires domain expertise. Rubrics generated from task descriptions al...

Most questions that reach an HPC help desk have already been answered in the center's user guides or in a ticket someone else filed last semester; users still file new tickets because the guides are hard to navigate and the ticket history is not theirs to search. We present an assistant that answers from both sources:...

Indoor radio map estimation (RME) is essential for wireless applications such as coverage planning, localization, and network deployment. However, most existing methods follow a supervised learning paradigm that requires costly labeled data and task-specific model training. Moreover, indoor environments involve privacy...
Large language models are increasingly used to simulate and probe human behavior, e.g., for surveys. For these applications, a key property is that outputs satisfy distributional alignment: to match its output distribution with some reference (in this case, human) distribution. An obstacle in achieving distributional a...

Activation interventions can make a language model produce a target answer, but can the model use the intended condition in other computations? We study this question in Qwen3.5-27B on tool-use tasks where time or permissions determine eligibility and selection. Across 32 fresh worlds, two case-specific residual-writin...
Target prompt adaptation outperforms the frozen static pipeline on all four MLLMs, and matches or outperforms undifferentiated reflection baselines on each of them: VideoLLaMA3-2B, Phi-3.5-vision-instruct, Qwen2.5-VL-7B-Instruct, and InternVL2.5-38B.
Structured generation is typically formulated as a deterministic mapping from input to a single structured output. This assumption is fundamentally misaligned with natural language, which often admits multiple structurally distinct yet semantically valid interpretations. As a result, existing methods rely on single-ref...
Many LLM studies compare how models respond to different follow-up prompts. For example, one prompt may neutrally ask a model to reconsider, while another insists that an invented film really exists. The difference is used to measure the effect of conversational pressure. An automatic scorer then labels whether each re...
Machine learning (ML) is increasingly used in astronomy, but choosing a suitable method for a scientific problem often requires expertise in both astronomy and ML. Large language models (LLMs) could help astronomers make such choices, yet this ability remains underexplored in existing benchmarks. We introduce Astro2Met...
Statement autoformalization translates mathematics from natural language into a proof assistant such as Lean 4, and models now do it at scale. As provers get stronger, the burden of correctness shifts from the proof to the statement, that is, to whether the formal statement faithfully translates its source. Given a tru...
While multimodal contrastive models like CLIP and CLAP successfully learn shared representations, their embeddings typically exhibit a persistent \emph{modality gap}. We propose addressing this separation through a purely geometric approach: changing the embedding domain from the unit sphere, $S^{d-1}$, to the probabil...
Reinforcement learning (RL) post-training improves the reasoning capabilities of large language models, but its cost is dominated by autoregressive rollout generation, which can exceed 70% of training time. Existing speculative-decoding methods are poorly suited to this setting: model-based drafters consume scarce GPU...
