arXiv:2602.02625v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Agentic AI systems increasingly operate in shared social environments where they exchange information, instructions, and behavioral cues. However, little empirical evidence exists on how such agents regulate one another in the absence of human participants or centralized moderation. In this work, we present an empirical analysis of OpenClaw agents interacting on Moltbook, an agent-only social network. Analyzing 39,026 posts and 5,712 comments produced by 14,490 agents, we quantify the prevalence of action-inducing instruction […]

arXiv:2602.20229v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multi-agent systems (MAS) built on large language models (LLMs) have shown strong performance across many tasks. Most existing approaches improve only one aspect at a time, such as the communication topology, role assignment, or LLM routing, while treating each agent as a single, indivisible unit. This misses the opportunity to use mixtures of LLMs within an agent to strengthen role-specific abilities. We propose HieraMAS, a hierarchical collaboration framework that combines intra-node LLM mixtures […]

Once again, this has been an exciting month in AI research. This month, I’m covering two new openly available LLMs, insights into small finetuned LLMs, and a new parameter-efficient LLM finetuning technique. The two LLMs mentioned above stand out for several reasons. One LLM (OLMo) is completely open source, meaning that everything from the training code to the dataset to the log files is openly shared. The other LLM (Gemma) also comes with openly available weights but achieves […]

arXiv:2602.09051v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Optimizing Pandas programs is a challenging problem. Existing systems and compiler-based approaches offer reliability but are either heavyweight or support only a limited set of optimizations. Conversely, using LLMs in a per-program optimization methodology can synthesize nontrivial optimizations, but is unreliable, expensive, and offers a low yield. In this work, we introduce a hybrid approach that works in a 3-stage manner that decouples discovery from deployment and connects them via a novel bridge. […]

Running is a widely practiced activity but shows a high incidence of knee injuries, especially Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome (PFPS) and Iliotibial Band Syndrome (ITBS). Identifying gait patterns linked to these injuries can improve clinical decision-making, which requires precise systems capable of capturing and analyzing temporal kinematic data. This study uses optical motion capture systems to enhance detection of injury-related running patterns. We analyze a public dataset of 839 treadmill recordings from healthy and injured runners to evaluate how […]

arXiv:2601.18966v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Users trust algorithms more when they can predict the algorithms’ behavior. Simple algorithms trivially yield predictively accurate mental models, but modern AI algorithms have often been assumed too complex for people to build predictive mental models, especially in the social media domain. In this paper, we describe conditions under which even complex algorithms can yield predictive mental models, opening up opportunities for a broader set of human-centered algorithms. We theorize that users will […]

Modeling stiff partial differential equations (PDEs) with sharp gradients remains a significant challenge for scientific machine learning. While Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs) struggle with spectral bias and slow training times, Physics-Informed Extreme Learning Machines (PIELMs) offer a rapid, closed-form linear solution but are fundamentally limited by physics-agnostic, random initialization. We introduce the Gaussian Mixture Model Adaptive PIELM (GMM-PIELM), a probabilistic framework that learns a probability density function representing the “location of physics” for adaptively sampling kernels of PIELMs. […]

arXiv:2601.05376v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Persona conditioning can be viewed as a behavioral prior for large language models (LLMs) and is often assumed to confer expertise and improve safety in a monotonic manner. However, its effects on high-stakes clinical decision-making remain poorly characterized. We systematically evaluate persona-based control in clinical LLMs, examining how professional roles (e.g., Emergency Department physician, nurse) and interaction styles (bold vs. cautious) influence behavior across models and medical tasks. We assess performance on clinical […]

arXiv:2601.10917v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Breast-Conserving Surgery (BCS) requires precise intraoperative margin assessment to preserve healthy tissue. Deep Ultraviolet Fluorescence Scanning Microscopy (DUV-FSM) offers rapid, high-resolution surface imaging for this purpose; however, the scarcity of annotated DUV data hinders the training of robust deep learning models. To address this, we propose an Self-Supervised Learning (SSL)-guided Latent Diffusion Model (LDM) to generate high-quality synthetic training patches. By guiding the LDM with embeddings from a fine-tuned DINO teacher, we inject […]
