Answer-level rewards cannot distinguish reasoning traces with equally correct outcomes. We study whether auxiliary trajectory preferences improve small-language-model self-improvement and transfer under limited supervision. We compare confidence-based (SC) and entropy-based metrics (UID-Conj.), which combines global en...
Learning-based approaches have increasingly been explored for SAT solving, with particular attention to improving branching decisions in conflict-driven clause learning (CDCL) solvers. These approaches derive branching guidance either from static structural properties of SAT formulas or from dynamic signals obtained th...

Scientific data selection is typically driven by relevance or utility scores, providing limited insight into why a document is retained. We introduce SciGraphSelect, a reference-grounded framework for auditable scientific data selection. SciGraphSelect organizes domain-specific knowledge, reusable reasoning operations,...

This workflow combines model extraction with deterministic scientific and capability checks, explicit clarification, and validated local patches that preserve unrelated accepted fields to study whether agents can reliably construct complete executable JSON specifications for automated geometry creation, meshing, PDE so...
Training language-model agents to play long-horizon strategy games is hard because deterministic feedback is sparse and often arrives only at the end of a game. In-game scores can offer dense signals, but they do not reliably predict future outcomes: in 8-68% of position pairs across eight strategy games, the higher-sc...

This work argues that agent memory for biomolecule optimization should instead be indexable, quantitative, and structured, and introduces MEMIG, a memory construction framework that addresses each insight with a domain-grounded identifier and accumulates the quantitative effect measured by a property oracle.

Two expert pruning methods are proposed under the unified structure-preserving framework: Projection Energy Expert Pruning (PEEP), which preserves the functional subspace by maximizing weighted projection energy, and Distributional Coverage Expert Pruning (DCEP), which preserves the distributional geometry by minimizin...

As Large Language Models (LLMs) become increasingly multilingual, distinguishing human-written from AI-generated text is essential for maintaining information integrity. However, research remains English-centric, with limited benchmarks for low-resource languages such as Hindi. To address this gap, we introduce SHAKTI,...
Large language models offer a promising route to register-transfer-level (RTL) design, but reliable implementations require checking and revision based on electronic design automation (EDA) tools' feedback. Existing RTL-specialized models often lack learned interaction with such EDA tools or rely on separate generation...

LLM-guided program evolution can produce mathematical constructions, but validity, generality, and reproducibility require distinct evidence. We develop a researcher-in-the-loop discovery pipeline that combines program evolution, exact evaluation, mathematical generalization, certified nonexistence checks, and formal p...
The ability to integrate new information and deduce its consequences is central to learning, understanding, and reasoning in large language models (LLMs). Whether information arrives during training or in-context, models must not only store local facts, but propagate their long-range implications globally. To explore i...

Large Language Models (LLMs) can generate toxic content, motivating effective test-time detoxification. Existing representation steering methods often rely on static or coarse interventions and provide imprecise guidance because they inadequately model transitions between toxic and non-toxic generations. We propose Tra...
