Predicting post-intervention distributions from observational data is central to many scientific and decision-making problems, but remains challenging due to causal ambiguity, restrictive modeling assumptions, and the lack of amortization across tasks. We introduce ACTIVA, a transformer-based conditional variational au...

Compact appliance classifiers can support local electricity-load monitoring where memory and computation are constrained. We evaluate adaptive sparse evolutionary training and warm-start compression using synthetic aggregate windows derived from household appliance recordings. A completed convolutional network study tr...
Tool-using language model agents rely on environmental facts to decide whether an action is permitted. When a tool response omits a safety-relevant fact, an agent may carry out a prohibited action even though the user request is benign and every returned statement is true. We introduce \bench{}, an executable benchmark...

Accuracy on medical examinations is common evidence offered for the clinical use of language models, yet a health system that intends to run an open model on its own hardware needs to know considerably more: whether the model recognizes when it is likely to be wrong, whether medical fine-tuning improves this ability, w...

Vision-Language Models (VLMs) have shown strong potential for video anomaly detection, but dense frame-level inference makes them impractical for real-time deployment. Existing acceleration commonly relies on uniform sampling, which ignores content dynamics and can either waste computation on static segments or miss lo...

When a user says "Keep it short", how short should the LLM's response be? More generally, users and applications require different levels of instruction adherence, but prompting does not reliably provide fine-grained control over them. We therefore study "steerable language models" that provide fine-grained numerical c...

Automated agentic-system design is typically evaluated on static task suites with immediate scalar rewards. Deployed systems face persistent shift, delayed dependent feedback, correlated component failures, and costly architecture changes. We formalize meta-agent architecture search as sequential incumbent replacement...
Looped and depth-grown language models reuse computations across depth and have attracted interest for their reasoning capabilities. Building on prior suggestive evidence of improved in-context-learning (ICL), we investigate how such reuse favors ICL, including how it shapes the acquisition, retention, and mechanisms o...

Continual learning requires a model to keep acquiring new skills and knowledge without compromising its existing capabilities. Parametric methods suffer from catastrophic forgetting and loss of plasticity. Non-parametric methods, such as prompts, skills, and harnesses, leverage in-context learning but are limited by co...
Evolutionary program search with large language models keeps the structure of an evolutionary algorithm and uses the model as its variation operator. Typically, the model generates each candidate program in a single request from parent programs and their scores. We present AgenticEvolve, an evolutionary program search...

Multi-agent LLM pipelines are often credited with gains in software engineering tasks, but it is rarely clear whether a gain stems from the typed contract between agents or from the specialized prompts that decomposition enables. We study this attribution problem in Requirements Engineering, comparing three architectur...

This work exposes the structural capabilities of PQKs by isolating and evaluating their native inductive bias through comparisons between untuned and tuned PQKs and proposes novel quantum feature maps that leverage two-qubit entanglement to capture multivariate correlations in IoT data.
