Independent Data-Integrity Verification for LLM-Driven Functional Coverage Closure in Hardware Design

LLM agents can write directed tests that close functional coverage, but coverage only shows that a state was reached, not that the data on the way there was correct. This is a long-known point in verification and we do not claim it as new. We describe a small coverage-closure agent that applies it to an LLM loop: cover...

BiShield-TEE: On the (In-)Security of Unilateral Weight Obfuscation in On-Device TEE-Shielded LLM Partition

On-device deployment of large language models (LLMs) is increasingly adopted due to latency and privacy requirements, but exposes proprietary models to reverse engineering and intellectual property theft. Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs) provide hardware-enforced isolation for on-device inference, yet most TEE-bas...

DialFork: Going Beyond Factuality to Evaluate Procedural Hallucination in Conversational Agents

Large language models (LLMs) deployed as conversational agents are increasingly expected to follow procedural logic. While factual hallucination has received extensive attention, a different failure mode has been overlooked: procedural hallucination, in which an agent produces individually fluent and factually plausibl...

When Does Muon Actually Win? A Paired Data-, Time-, and Tuning-Budget Benchmark

Muon's gains in data efficiency motivate evaluating its performance under explicit data, time, and tuning budgets. On a single A100 GPU, we compare a reference single-device Muon implementation with AdamW across 17.7M- and 33.6M-parameter causal language models and 2.70M-parameter vision transformers. A common 23-candi...

Uncertainty Quantification in Pairwise Difference Learning for Classification

Instead of learning a mapping from instances to outcomes in the standard way, the key idea of pairwise difference learning (PDL) is to learn a function that takes two instances as input and predicts the difference between the respective outcomes. Given a function of this kind, predictions for a query instance are deriv...

When Is Muon Optimal? Radial Fragility and Minimax Geometry

Muon replaces a matrix gradient by an approximate polar factor and has shown strong empirical performance in neural-network training. The Isotropic Curvature Model (ICM) provides a curvature-based explanation for this update by asking when gradient orthogonalization minimizes a one-step local-loss surrogate. We investi...

Hierarchical Interpretable Multitask Audio Representation Learning: An Analysis of Event-Scene Relationships through the Information Bottleneck

Joint Acoustic Scene Classification (ASC) and Audio Tagging (AT) models traditionally rely on unconstrained multihead architectures. However, this design ignores the natural hierarchical dependency between sounds and acoustic scenes. In this work, we investigate a hierarchical (sequential) conditioning paradigm that pr...

Poison Valleys: Diagnosing Path-Dependent Failure in LLM Code Repair

Poison Valleys defines plausible but incorrect software mechanisms, place each in a model's hypothesis, implementation plan, or both, and evaluates the generated code with an Oracle and targeted diagnostic coordinates, creating a measured connection from upstream misconception to code mechanism and failure form.

Can LLMs Tell Stories Out of Order? A Corpus and Benchmark for Nonlinear Narrative Generation

Every story has two orders: the order in which its events happen and the order in which they are told. A story is nonlinear when the two differ. We introduce a benchmark of 83 published works that measures whether language models can tell nonlinear stories. For each work, we annotate one list of events in both orders,...

Trajectory-Level Speculation with Semantic Verification for Tool-Using Agents

SpecAgent is introduced, a collaboration protocol that turns the strong model from the author of each step into a reviewer of steps drafted by a weak model, suggesting that a strong model need not author every step of an agent: reviewing grounded drafts retains most of its quality while cutting both latency and memory...

Can Visual Generation Expand What Unified Multimodal Models Know?

Unified multimodal models (UMMs) receive image-generation supervision that exposes them to visual information not fully documented in text. Can learning to generate images expand what pretrained models know? We introduce Knowledge Transfer Probing (KTP), a controlled protocol that supplies new knowledge through image-g...

Full-Duplex Interaction with Speech, Expressions and Gestures

Human face-to-face conversation requires coordinating speech, gestures and expressions across both speaking and listening. We present ELLSA 2, an end-to-end full-duplex dialogue model that jointly optimizes speech interaction and streaming gesture-expression generation. An autoregressive, chunk-wise synthesizer combine...
