A multi-solver disagreement reward using a heterogeneous ensemble varying in model capacity and sampling temperature is proposed, which enables the Challenger to discover questions targeting true capability boundaries, producing a curriculum that forces downstream Solvers to develop robust reasoning strategies generalizing across problem types.
This work presents TEMPO (Temporally-grounded Multi-task Post-training), the first unified model to handle audio, speech, and music timestamping tasks and introduces the first application of reinforcement learning to unified audio timestamping, using GRPO with verifiable temporal rewards that directly optimize the evaluation objectives.

The results show that PURGE consistently reduces hallucinations and spurious-correlation-driven errors while maintaining or improving overall performance in most evaluated settings, providing both a reusable evaluation protocol and an effective mitigation framework for more reliable LVLMs.

A fully open-source pipeline that reproduces the behavior of a cloud-native, event-driven system -- file arrival triggering a message, a message triggering compute -- entirely on commodity hardware, using Apache Kafka and a filesystem-watching poller in place of managed cloud triggers is described.

This paper introduces a formal evaluation methodology that is grounded in AgentGraph, a planner powered by a domain specific language that represents agent reasoning through a dynamically adjustable directed graph, and defines novel metrics that measure response and trajectory determinism, structural adherence and semantic consistency across both exact replays and their linguistic variants.

The framework, INFUSE, first stabilizes visual and textual representations around perturbation-averaged and ground-truth anchors, then aligns the stabilized representations across modalities with bidirectional contrastive objectives.

Preliminary findings on a novel application of the tree depth prune instance hardness method to the TinyML system indicate that threshold control can change energy consumption with limited classification quality changes.

This work presents an evidence-gated multi-agent framework for transforming a natural-language MLOps cloud engineering task into a verified repository and operational cloud deployment and results show that the framework prevents unsupported lifecycle transitions and drives each run toward either a verified operational deployment or an auditable terminal failure.
A unified systems foundation and reference architecture for the agentic skills ecosystem is established, formalize skills as externalized procedural knowledge bridging high-level cognitive planning with deterministic execution environments, and systematically delineate the architecture across a nine-stage lifecycle.

A benchmark score is a joint property of the model, the evaluation harness, the elicitation budget, the sampled population, and contamination status. Leaderboards publish the model and the score, so capability and leakage stay observationally equivalent. Existing taxonomies classify contamination for automated detection, not the question a reporter faces at publication: given the mitigations already applied, which validity threats remain open? We introduce a taxonomy organized by the mitigation each type defeats -- direct, derivative, temporal, distributional, and acquired -- spanning training-time and evaluation-time leakage. Holding out a private test set closes the first alone. The fifth is acquired during the evaluation itself; because it is a property of one run, it must be recorded with the reported score rather than with the benchmark release. We operationalize it as a four-field disclosure protocol in which"unknown"is a valid entry, released under CC BY 4.0 with a JSON Schema, a validator, and worked examples. Two coders external to the design team applied a pre-registered instrument to 41 documents. Per-variable linear-weighted $\kappa$ runs from 0.00 to 0.35 (median 0.21) over 29 main-pass documents against a single-coder test-retest ceiling of 0.84, collapsing under the class skew the registration anticipated; pooling raises it to 0.46 through chance correction rather than better agreement. Two variables fall below the prevalence-robust threshold registered in advance: strata reporting and the acquired type introduced here. Disagreement concentrates on when a variable applies rather than on what a document states. Elicitation budgets are reported in 13% of documents, and no document addresses all five types. The contribution is the taxonomy, the score-side artifact that follows from it, and a pre-registered measurement of instrument reliability and current disclosure.

The results show that distributionally-regularized joint embedding architectures can be successful on challenging city-scale 3D scenes, and that transfer improves when self-supervision is designed for the capture geometry and spatial context of this domain while also revealing the limits of this specialization.

This work compares a ~28M-parameter autoregressive Tiny Recursive Model (TRM-AR) on natural-language-to-Python code generation against parameter-matched and depth-matched controls, tracking fit and generation across 40 epochs and three seeds.
