arXiv:2602.17831v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Evaluating the reasoning capabilities of Large Language Models is increasingly challenging as models improve. Human curation of hard questions is highly expensive, especially in recent benchmarks using PhD-level domain knowledge to challenge the most capable models. Even then, there is always a concern about whether these questions test genuine reasoning or if similar problems have been seen during training. Here, we take inspiration from 16th-century mathematical duels to design The Token Games (TTG): […]

arXiv:2602.20362v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: While robotics research continues to propose strategies for collision avoidance in human-robot interaction, the reality of constrained environments and future humanoid systems makes contact inevitable. To mitigate injury risks, energy-constraining control approaches are commonly used, often relying on safety thresholds derived from blunt impact data in EN ISO 10218-2:2025. However, this dataset does not extend to edged or pointed collisions. Without scalable, clinically grounded datasets covering diverse contact scenarios, safety validation remains limited. […]

Every day, millions of developers hand their AI assistant the keys to their machine. Shell access. File system. Network. API keys stored in plaintext. And they do it through software pathways that were designed for web apps, not for systems that can reason, plan, and act. This is not a theoretical problem. It’s happening right now. In January 2026, OpenClaw — the fastest-growing open-source AI agent, with over 100,000 GitHub stars in five days — became the center […]

arXiv:2603.02254v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We propose MEBM-Phoneme, a multi-scale enhanced neural decoder for phoneme classification from non-invasive magnetoencephalography (MEG) signals. Built upon the BrainMagic backbone, MEBM-Phoneme integrates a short-term multi-scale convolutional module to augment the native mid-term encoder, with fused representations via depthwise separable convolution for efficient cross-scale integration. A convolutional attention layer dynamically weights temporal dependencies to refine feature aggregation. To address class imbalance and session-specific distributional shifts, we introduce a stacking-based local validation set alongside […]

arXiv:2601.22289v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We focus on multi-object rearrangement planning in densely cluttered environments using a car-like robot pusher. The combination of kinematic, geometric and physics constraints underlying this domain results in challenging nonmonotone problem instances which demand breaking each manipulation action into multiple parts to achieve a desired object rearrangement. Prior work tackles such instances by planning prerelocations, temporary object displacements that enable constraint satisfaction, but deciding where to prerelocate remains difficult due to local minima […]

Reinforcement learning has been widely applied to diffusion and flow models for visual tasks such as text-to-image generation. However, these tasks remain challenging because diffusion models have intractable likelihoods, which creates a barrier for directly applying popular policy-gradient type methods. Existing approaches primarily focus on crafting new objectives built on already heavily engineered LLM objectives, using ad hoc estimators for likelihood, without a thorough investigation into how such estimation affects overall algorithmic performance. In this work, we provide […]

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 […]

arXiv:2604.06689v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Accurate classification requires not only high predictive accuracy but also well-calibrated confidence estimates. Yet, modern deep neural networks (DNNs) are often overconfident, primarily due to overfitting on the negative log-likelihood (NLL). While focal loss variants alleviate this issue, they typically reduce accuracy, revealing a persistent trade-off between calibration and predictive performance. Motivated by the complementary strengths of generative and discriminative classifiers, we propose Generative Cross-Entropy (GCE), which maximizes $p(x|y)$ and is equivalent to […]

Modern enterprise application assessment is not only about performance and scalability but also about how it caters to users. Fixed UI, constant filters, and uniform layouts can lead to unnecessary issues, particularly in Angular applications where various users engage with the same data in different ways. AI-driven UI personalization is going to help to address this issue effectively. Rather than depending on hard-coded preferences or updating it manually by the user or relying on everything on user-provided data, […]
