RubricCraft: Where Solutions Diverge, Criteria Emerge

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...

Before the Ticket: Grounding HPC User Support in Documentation and Resolved Tickets with an Agentic LLM Assistant

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:...

Collaborative In-Context Learning for Indoor Radio Map Estimation

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...

Distributional Alignment of LLMs and Its Generalization Properties

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...

From Target Selection to Condition Reuse: Auditing Residual Interventions in Tool-Use Models

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...

An Agentic Approach with Evidence-Grounded Verification for Multimodal Emotion Reasoning in Conversation

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.

Rethinking Structured Generation: Can Graph-Based Reasoning Resolve Ambiguity?

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...

Validating the Comparison, Not Just the Scorer: Why Overall Accuracy Can Mislead in Interactive LLM Evaluation

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...

Astro2Method: Benchmarking LLMs on Machine Learning Method Selection in Astronomy

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...

SemantEq: Faithful Bidirectional Equivalence of Formal Statements

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...

Closing the Modality Gap via Simplex-Constrained Representations

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...

NgramRL: Accelerating RL Post-Training for Structured Generation via Rollout-Aware N-gram Speculative Decoding

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...
