The advent of Large Language Models (LLMs) across many application domains has increased the need for Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) to reduce hallucinations and improve LLM performance. Thus far, several RAG techniques with impressive features and capabilities have been proposed in the literature, making it a he...
Modern chess engines play far beyond human ability, often choosing moves whose underlying ideas are difficult for humans to understand. We propose an automatic metric for evaluating chess explanations, grounded in chess-engine evaluations. Evaluating state-of-the-art language models using this metric, we find that they...
Multimodal learning commonly assumes paired or synchronized observations, yet independently collected datasets rarely provide such correspondence. We introduce CIIR, a modular encoder--decoder framework that connects heterogeneous datasets through a class-indexed address space while preserving each dataset's native inp...
Vision-language-action (VLA) models and world-action models (WAMs) have emerged as promising approaches to robot learning and control. These models integrate multimodal perception and action generation, but differ in their architectures, output representations, and learning objectives. In this paper, we present a unifi...

Computer-use agents (CUAs) are commonly evaluated against fixed task specifications, but users may omit requirements, add constraints, or require approval before consequential actions. Completing the benchmark instruction does not guarantee serving the person who asked. We introduce PersonaCUABench, which holds 74 task...
This work develops a policy gradient technique involving a group-level reward function that operates on matched pairs of counterfactual prompts that reduces counterfactual differences while preserving overall response quality and proves that the models continue to adapt appropriately when such sensitive information is...

Language models often abandon a correct answer when the prompt contains a cue, a hint toward a wrong option such as "I think the answer is B." Sycophancy and related biases show this failure. They are often studied separately and blamed on alignment. We test this view causally, tracing the attention heads behind these...

Long-horizon agents learn from failure, but the value of a failure record can change as execution progresses. We study when retaining, compressing, or removing the same history block improves subsequent execution relative to full-history KEEP. We introduce RECAP, a framework that combines matched context interventions,...

Competence-based evaluation (CBE) is argued for, which tests whether models reliably apply the same competence across a family of problems and provides diagnostic profiles and an evaluation protocol that can grow with future models.
Parameter-Efficient Fine-Tuning (PEFT) has emerged as a prevalent strategy for adapting large pre-trained models. Among PEFT techniques, reparameterization-based methods, particularly those that employ low-rank or sparsity structures, have attracted significant attention. However, these approaches often underperform fu...

The input space of single-spike neural networks decomposes into causal pieces, and the number of causal pieces has been shown to provide a lower bound on the approximation error for some spiking neural networks. While this decomposition is applicable to a wide range of spiking neuron models, the limits of how many caus...

Neural operators approximate solution operators of partial differential equations at a fraction of the cost of numerical solvers. Efficient grid-based architectures such as the Fourier neural operator (FNO) assume uniform rectangular grids, whereas engineering simulations use large, irregular, and locally refined meshe...
