CARGO: Context-Aware Retrieval-Gated Evaluation of Agentic AI in Production

This work proposes CARGO, a framework that treats retrieved references as procedural exemplars and grounds factual judgments in the live instance's observed context and gates evaluation by retrieval confidence, casting production evaluation as selective prediction.

A Unified Account of Concepts and Chunks

This paper reviews Cobweb, a computational account of categorization and concept formation, then proposes an extended theory that incorporates chunks and their acquisition, and presents \trellis/, an implementation of this theory, and illustrates its application to learning context-free grammars.

SignTrace: Describe a Sign, Find the Word

Identifying an unfamiliar sign is difficult when a learner remembers its movement but does not know its meaning or formal feature codes. SignTrace addresses this longstanding reverse-lookup problem through natural-language access to a Chinese sign-language dictionary. The system integrates LLM-based dictionary enrichme...

SlideLab: Audience-Centered Scientific Slide Generation and Evaluation

Scientific presentations are more than summaries of research papers. They need to present the work in a coherent sequence, explain the main ideas clearly, and help the audience follow the presentation. We present SlideLab, a training-free multi-agent framework for generating scientific presentations from research paper...

Cartograph: Federated Tool Discovery with Operator-Attested Retrieval for AI Agents

Cartograph is complementary to code-execution approaches: it controls which tool descriptions are surfaced and records the provenance of the descriptions used for ranking for each query, which controls which tool descriptions are surfaced and records the provenance of the descriptions used for ranking for each query.

Learning to Stop without Learning to Stop: Self-Supervised Confidence Training Improves Reasoning Efficiency

Self-supervised confidence fine-tuning makes reasoning more efficient, reducing generated tokens by up to 25\% at matched accuracy across Gemma, Qwen, Nemotron, and GPT-OSS models on mathematical, scientific, and coding reasoning benchmarks, with efficiency gains comparable to methods that explicitly optimize for short...
