arXiv:2601.16356v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large Language Model (LLM)-powered web GUI agents are increasingly automating everyday online tasks. Despite their popularity, little is known about how users’ preferences and values impact agents’ reasoning and behavior. In this work, we investigate how both explicit and implicit user preferences, as well as the underlying user values, influence agent decision-making and action trajectories. We built a controlled testbed of 14 common interactive web tasks, spanning shopping, travel, dining, and housing, each […]

arXiv:2603.16935v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Video-based lie detection aims to identify deceptive behaviors from visual cues. Despite recent progress, its core challenge lies in learning sparse yet discriminative representations. Deceptive signals are typically subtle and short-lived, easily overwhelmed by redundant information, while individual and contextual variations introduce strong identity-related noise. To address this issue, we propose GenLie, a Global-Enhanced Lie Detection Network that performs local feature modeling under global supervision. Specifically, sparse and subtle deceptive cues are captured […]

arXiv:2602.17738v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Future 6G networks will interconnect not only devices, but autonomous machines that continuously sense, reason, and act. In such environments, communication can no longer be understood solely as delivering bits or even preserving semantic meaning. Even when two agents interpret the same information correctly, they may still behave inconsistently if their internal reasoning processes evolve differently. We refer to this emerging challenge as belief divergence. This article introduces reasoning native agentic communication, a […]

Integrating hard constraints into deep learning is essential for safety-critical systems. Yet existing constructive layers that project predictions onto constraint boundaries face a fundamental bottleneck: gradient saturation. By collapsing exterior points onto lower-dimensional surfaces, standard orthogonal projections induce rank-deficient Jacobians, which nullify gradients orthogonal to active constraints and hinder optimization. We introduce Soft-Radial Projection, a differentiable reparameterization layer that circumvents this issue through a radial mapping from Euclidean space into the interior of the feasible set. This construction […]

Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) management requires continuous adjustment of insulin and lifestyle behaviors to maintain blood glucose within a safe target range. Although automated insulin delivery (AID) systems have improved glycemic outcomes, many patients still fail to achieve recommended clinical targets, warranting new approaches to improve glucose control in patients with T1D. While reinforcement learning (RL) has been utilized as a promising approach, current RL-based methods focus primarily on insulin-only treatment and do not provide behavioral recommendations for […]

Compounding demand mechanisms are what make the difference between a successful and an unsuccessful memecoin project, resulting in self-reinforcing growth cycles. Single use case tokens have linear adoption that is limited by utility. Multi-layered platforms create a growth of exponential magnitude in which the addition of every user adds value to all parties involved. Historical study demonstrates the fact that exchange combined with memecoins outperform trading-only solutions by a significant margin. Binance coin increased by more than 100,000% […]

envisions the web as humanity’s emerging nervous system—a living network where technology and consciousness intertwine. Blending cyberculture, mysticism, and ecology, Lorenzo Hagerty explores how the Internet could awaken Teilhard de Chardin’s “noosphere,” a global mind uniting millions of souls. It’s a visionary call to see the digital realm not as machinery, but as the spirit of Earth becoming self-aware.

This year’s PyCon US is coming up next month from May 13th to May 19th, with the core conference talks from Friday 15th to Sunday 17th and tutorial and sprint days either side. It’s in Long Beach, California this year, the first time PyCon US has come to the West Coast since Portland, Oregon in 2017 and the first time in California since Santa Clara in 2013. If you’re based in California this is a great opportunity to […]
