From Rules to Neural Graphs: Scalable Structured Prediction for Patent Prior Art Search

Patent search requires processing documents routinely exceeding tens of thousands of tokens. Most neural retrieval approaches operate on truncated inputs, limiting their effectiveness. Graph-based retrieval addresses this by representing each patent as a structured invention graph, but constructing these graphs relies...

OverAct: Measuring and Mitigating Proactive Over-Authorization in LLM Tool-Calling Agents

LLM agents with tool-calling capabilities can access external services and private user data, but they may retrieve more information than a user's request explicitly requires. We study this behavior in structured tool-calling agents and term it proactive over-authorization. This setting differs from filesystem-level co...

Q-SPT: Learnable Query-Based Compression for Low-Frame-Rate Speech Tokenization

Q-SPT is proposed, a low-frame-rate dual-stream speech tokenizer with separate, context-aware, learnable query-based compressors specialized for semantic and acoustic representations that yields the best speech recognition accuracy and text-to-speech perceptual quality with competitive intelligibility.

Do Multilingual Encoders Produce Language-Consistent Semantic IDs?

Semantic IDs (SIDs) compress item embeddings into discrete code sequences used in generative retrieval. We ask whether a multilingual encoder is sufficient for different-language renderings of the same product to receive language-consistent SIDs. Using Amazon ESCI listings rendered in English, Spanish, and Japanese, we...

AuraForge: Scaling Security Supervision for Training Coding Agents

AuraForge is introduced to synthesize and validate executable security tests for training secure coding agents, and it is demonstrated that AuraForge provides more diverse and reliable security supervision to train secure coding agents.

Paying for Too Many Tokens? Valid and Cost-Efficient Multimodal LLM Annotation with Simple Heuristics

Vision-Language Models (VLMs) enable video annotation at scale, but costs accumulate quickly: processing a typical 60-second short-form video at one frame per second requires millions of tokens. To reduce costs, researchers rely on heuristics such as sampling a subset of frames, compressing videos into image grids, or...

On-Device Commercial Intent Retrieval Under Size, Latency, and Privacy Constraints: A 3 MiB Retrieval System with Typed Egress Boundaries

We study commercial intent inference that runs entirely on the user's device, under three constraints frozen before the work began: the downloaded payload under 3 MiB, Tier-0 inference under 20 ms at p95, and no raw text, content embedding, or stable identifier leaving the device. Under them we build a retrieval path o...

How Robust Are Neural Audio Codecs for African Speech? A Multi-Task Benchmark and the Limits of Perceptual Quality

Neural audio codecs enable low-bitrate speech compression and tokenization, yet their robustness on accented and multilingual speech remains under-evaluated. We benchmark seven open-source neural codecs (DAC, EnCodec, FocalCodec, LanguageCodec, SemantiCodec, UniCodec, WavTokenizer) on three African speech datasets afri...

DramaAgent: Agentic Storytelling Video Generation

Recent diffusion and autoregressive models have substantially improved text-to-video generation, yet producing coherent long-form story videos with consistent characters and aligned audio remains challenging. Existing methods often suffer from narrative drift, unstable character identity, weak cross-scene continuity, a...

Trajectory-Aware Clinical Risk Prediction via Severity-Grounded Knowledge Graphs and Retrieval-Augmented Generation

While Electronic Health Records (EHRs) offer a wealth of clinical data, effectively augmenting a patient's records with heterogeneous external knowledge to predict the patient's clinical risk remains a significant challenge. Existing methods fail to capture disease severity, treatment responses, and nuanced clinical pr...
