RAC: A Relational Agent Contract for Constraint-Governed Engineering Tasks

Engineering agents must produce artifacts that satisfy exact, coupled constraints. Existing solutions often require agents to make semantic decisions and also derive consequences such as precise geometry or timing from those decisions, leading to failures in constraint-governed engineering tasks. In this paper, we intr...

SkillNEO: Non-Elitist Evolutionary Optimization of Agent Skills

Agent skills turn procedural knowledge into reusable artifacts, allowing LLM agents to accumulate and refine expertise through experience. Building on this, skill evolution iteratively improves skills using execution feedback. However, improvement may require several interdependent edits, so low-reward versions can sti...

Defining and Generating Compositional Structure

Compositional structure is pervasive in nature and across scales: atoms combine into molecules, molecules into cells, and cells into organisms, while further compositional hierarchies appear within each level. More broadly, compositionality, the reuse and recombination of parts into novel structures, is a fundamental s...

A Multi-Tiered AI Accessibility Model (MAIAM): Proportionate Access and Capability Limits for Comprehensive Frontier AI Safety

Most debate about releasing capable AI systems treats the choice as binary: keep the model behind an API, or publish the weights. That framing runs together two separate decisions. One is how capable a system may become. The other is who may obtain a given capability, and on what terms. This paper is about the second d...

Anticipatory Commonsense with Moving Objects: An ASP-Based Framework for Predictive Reasoning with Interacting Trajectories

We present a general declarative framework for anticipatory reasoning about interactive motion in complex dynamic environments. Our focus is on (explainable) anticipatory space-time mental model formation at a semantic level to heuristically guide low-level motion computation. Our method is hybrid, modular and elaborat...

Evolving Together, Failing Apart: The Skill-Policy Co-evolution Trap in Self-Improving Agents

Skill-policy co-evolution, in which an agent's policy model and its skill bank improve each other during training, is a promising paradigm for self-improving agents. Current evaluations score the co-evolved policy on the final bank it trained with (the delivered bank). After deployment, however, skills may be rewritten...

Confidence-Calibrated Inference Expansion for Evaluator-Guided Test-Time Reasoning

Evaluator-guided reasoning presents a local control problem at every step: trust the current answer, return a fallback, or spend more inference. We formulate this choice as a compute-aware three-action controller, scoring terminal actions by predicted answer success and expansion by a rollout-based continuation-success...

Temporal Specification Guidance for Text-to-Video Generation

Text-to-video models often generate the visual concepts requested in natural language prompts but fail to satisfy their intended ordering, timing, and persistence requirements. We propose representing these requirements as specifications in a formal Temporal Logic, and introduce Temporal Specification Guidance (TSG), a...

A Self-Improving Agent that Grows its Own DSL: Oracle-Free Operator Induction for Exact Question Answering

A self-improving agent has to decide which new skills to keep, and in practice it keeps whatever earns a high reward, convinces a judge model, or compresses its library, even when the skill is wrong. That is fine until the answers have to be exactly right: over a table of transactions, a total is either right or wrong....

When Reasoning Traces Conflict with Evidence: How Answer Configuration Shapes Evidence Following

A reasoning trace retained at answer time plays two roles: it can raise accuracy, and it can compete with the current evidence when the two disagree. We disentangle these roles by crossing verified evidence versions with the traces generated from each and answering from the same traces and evidence under two configurat...

EvolvingBrain: An Adaptive Skill System for Multi-modal Agents Self-Evolution in Open Worlds

Multi-modal agents have made significant progress in interacting with open worlds. However, their ability to self-evolve remains limited. Supervised fine-tuning enables imitation but not active experience organization, while outcome-based reinforcement learning promotes exploration yet underuses intermediate trajectory...

Open-world AI: a Tale of Three Requirements

The closed world asks AI for specialized competence and lets it manufacture the iid data its theory assumes: a fixed criterion licenses collecting examples until the task is covered. The open world asks for versatility --- taking up tasks a machine was not built for, from few examples and with little prior from a human...
