An Investigation of Robustness of LLMs in Mathematical Reasoning: Benchmarking with Mathematically-Equivalent Transformation of Advanced Mathematical Problems

Frontier large language models (LLMs) now reach near-ceiling accuracy on standard mathematical-reasoning benchmarks and gold-medal-level performance at the International Mathematical Olympiad. As these benchmarks saturate and their items leak into training data, a high score no longer shows whether a model reasons robu...

Policy Learning with a Language Bottleneck

Modern AI systems such as self-driving cars and game-playing agents can achieve superhuman performance, but often lack human-like generalization, interpretability, and inter-operability with human users. Inspired by the rich interactions between language and decision-making in humans, we introduce Policy Learning with...

Beyond Preset Identities: Selective Stance Accommodation and Interaction Reorganisation in Generative Agent Societies

Generative agent societies simulate people with assigned roles, preferences and relationships. As agents exchange arguments and choose partners, they can revise their positions and reorganise discussion. Understanding these changes requires examining what they accept and how they continue to interact. Stance-change sco...

Agentic Critical Training

Imitation learning (IL) teaches language-model agents to reproduce expert actions but not to distinguish them from plausible mistakes. Self-reflection methods expose models to alternatives yet use supervised fine-tuning (SFT) to imitate fixed rationales and actions. We introduce Agentic Critical Training (ACT), which u...

More Than Meets the Eye? Uncovering the Reasoning-Planning Disconnect in Training Vision-Language Driving Models

Vision-Language Model (VLM) driving agents promise explainable end-to-end autonomy by first producing natural-language reasoning and then predicting trajectory planning. However, whether planning is causally driven by this reasoning remains a critical but unverified assumption. To investigate this, we build DriveMind,...

Thought-Like-Pro: Enhancing Reasoning of Large Language Models through Self-Bootstrapped Prolog-based Chain-of-Thought

Large language models have demonstrated remarkable capabilities as general-purpose assistants, excelling in a wide range of reasoning tasks and supporting various aspects of daily web usage. This achievement represents a significant step toward achieving artificial general intelligence. Despite these advancements, the...

Predicting Alignment Generalization with Value Representations

LLM developers post-train their models to exhibit prosocial values and behavioral traits, which are enumerated in an alignment target. However, while recent post-training developments have yielded models that score highly on alignment evaluations, training models on sets of narrow behaviors still influences their behav...

All Verdicts are Not Equal: Rethinking LLM Judge Reliability

LLM-as-a-Judge is the standard paradigm for NLP evaluation, yet its systemic reliability remains poorly understood despite being widely treated as a deterministic ground truth. We present a comprehensive reliability audit, stresstesting six frontier models across four benchmarks, five prompt formats, two presentation o...

Examining Social Attribution in LLM Reasoning: A Theory-Guided Probing Methodology

Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly deployed in sociotechnical systems where social attribution, the reasoning process attributing external events to the causes and reasons of agents' social behaviors, plays a critical role. These processes involve judgments of social cause, responsibility, and blame/credit t...

Agentic-TTT: Training test-time policy for test-time training

Test-time training (TTT) adapts an LLM's parameters using signals derived from test inputs, and can make striking improvements in pre-specified settings such as IMO competitions or designated open problems. By turning deployment experience into parameter updates, TTT provides a direct mechanism for model-level self-imp...

DataVista: Diagnosing Multimodal LLMs on Data Video Understanding

Data video is a media form that integrates data visualization with video narrative, widely adopted in news reporting and business analysis. Compared with general video understanding, data video understanding places greater emphasis on accurately reading data from animated charts, integrating evidence across charts and...

Forms of LLM-Integrated Applications from LLM-Chats to Autonomous AI Agent System

Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly embedded as components in software systems, marketed under labels such as chatbot, copilot, retrieval-augmented generation, workflow, coding agent and AI agent. Whether these labels denote genuine architectural forms or serve as branding has not been assessed systematically...
