A Decade of Climate Polarization on Brazilian YouTube using Language Models

Online platforms have become arenas for the public contestation of climate change, shaping how scientific knowledge, denial, and uncertainty are expressed and disputed. Yet longitudinal evidence remains limited for YouTube, especially for Portuguese-language discourse. Addressing this gap, we characterize how climate s...

Reporting Under Pressure: Separating Factual and Tonal Sycophancy in LLM Statistical Analysis

Large language models are increasingly asked to analyze data and report what the results mean, a task distinct from the belief- or preference-alignment settings studied in most sycophancy research. We test whether editorial framing in the prompt, ranging from a neutral request to an explicit instruction to search exhau...

What Looks Like a Capability Limit in Vision-Language Models Is a Readout Limit

Benchmarks for vision-language models offer their answer choices in some convention: a letter, a color name, a pixel coordinate. That convention is treated as neutral. We find it is not, and that the limits a benchmark reports can belong to the readout rather than to the model. On 200 COCO photographs, Qwen3-VL-4B pi...

Psychoacoustically Aligned Latent Smoothing for Adversarial Robustness of Full-Duplex Speech-to-Speech Dialogue Models

End-to-end speech-to-speech dialogue models listen and speak simultaneously, so a continuously open acoustic channel is exposed to adversarial manipulation. We formalize imperceptible attacks on full-duplex agents as optimization over additive perturbations confined beneath the psychoacoustic masking threshold of the c...

Verifiable Hidden Dynamics Play: Generating Agentic RL Environments from Solved Mechanisms

Language-model agents increasingly face long-horizon tasks with evolving state, interdependent decisions, and delayed outcomes, and scale-matched training retains gains as mechanism size and horizon grow, indicating the potential for an evolving training substrate.

Large Knowledge Model: A Knowledge Foundation for Agentic Science at Scale

The Large Knowledge Model is proposed, a growing, agent-native knowledge foundation that provides a general representation of scientific knowledge across disciplines and an agent-native, reasoning-aware scientific retrieval system that retrieves claims together with their reasoning chains and sources, enabling agents t...

EnSIMem: Entity-Structured Indexing for Long-Term Agent Memory

Results show that entity-structured indexing and episode-level provenance provide a reliable foundation for long-term memory in agents, and EnSIMem achieves high answer accuracy while maintaining compact, evidence-focused contexts.

CAVEAT: Towards Robust Computer-Use Agents in Incentive-Misaligned Environments

CAVEAT-Harness is developed, which targets failures and raises the optimal purchase rate by up to 80.0 percentage points, and targeted post-training further improves a smaller open model, to establish incentive robustness as a distinct challenge for delegated agents and diagnose failure modes.

Quieter Than the Room: Representation Drift and Task Robustness in Speech Encoders

Non-speech interference can change a speech representation without causing comparable task loss. We test eight frozen encoders on four tasks, adding non-speech sounds throughout recordings, during speech, or in pauses. Under whole-recording interference, embedding drift tracks task loss across seven sounds, with mean S...

ContraVis: Evidence-Grounded Visual Analytics for Contradiction Review in Legal Contracts

ContraVis is presented, a visual analytics system for human-in-the-loop contradiction analysis in legal contracts that models contracts as typed paragraph graphs that combine explicit contractual references with semantic relationships between paragraphs.
