arXiv:2602.16741v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: AI-assisted code review is widely used to detect vulnerabilities before production release. Prior work shows that adversarial prompt manipulation can degrade large language model (LLM) performance in code generation. We test whether similar comment-based manipulation misleads LLMs during vulnerability detection. We build a 100-sample benchmark across Python, JavaScript, and Java, each paired with eight comment variants ranging from no comments to adversarial strategies such as authority spoofing and technical deception. Eight frontier models, […]

We study reinforcement learning for revenue management with delayed feedback, where a substantial fraction of value is determined by customer cancellations and modifications observed days after booking. We propose emph{choice-model-assisted RL}: a calibrated discrete choice model is used as a fixed partial world model to impute the delayed component of the learning target at decision time. In the fixed-model deployment regime, we prove that tabular Q-learning with model-imputed targets converges to an $O(varepsilon/(1-γ))$ neighborhood of the optimal Q-function, […]

arXiv:2603.06608v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The research community lacks a middle ground between StarCraft IIs full game and its mini-games. The full-games sprawling state-action space renders reward signals sparse and noisy, but in mini-games simple agents saturate performance. This complexity gap hinders steady curriculum design and prevents researchers from experimenting with modern Reinforcement Learning algorithms in RTS environments under realistic compute budgets. To fill this gap, we present the Two-Bridge Map Suite, the first entry in an open-source […]

Multi–task learning seeks to improve the generalization error by leveraging the common information shared by multiple related tasks. One challenge in multi–task learning is identifying formulations capable of uncovering the common information shared between different but related tasks. This paper provides a precise asymptotic analysis of a popular multi–task formulation associated with misspecified perceptron learning models. The main contribution of this paper is to precisely determine the reasons behind the benefits gained from combining multiple related tasks. Specifically, […]

arXiv:2601.12266v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We study the problem of scheduling delay-sensitive jobs over spot and on-demand cloud instances to minimize average cost while meeting an average delay constraint. Jobs arrive as a general stochastic process, and incur different costs based on the instance type. This work provides the first analytical treatment of this problem using tools from queuing theory, stochastic processes, and optimization. We derive cost expressions for general policies, prove queue length one is optimal for […]

arXiv:2601.20909v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Domain-Driven Design (DDD) is a key framework for developing customer-oriented software, focusing on the precise modeling of an application’s domain. Traditionally, metamodels that describe these domains are created manually by system designers, forming the basis for iterative software development. This paper explores the partial automation of metamodel generation using generative AI, particularly for producing domain-specific JSON objects. By training a model on real-world DDD project data, we demonstrate that generative AI can produce […]

arXiv:2601.12286v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The increasing prevalence of Large Language Models (LLMs) demands effective safeguards for their operation, particularly concerning their tendency to generate out-of-context responses. A key challenge is accurately detecting when LLMs stray from expected conversational norms, manifesting as topic shifts, factual inaccuracies, or outright hallucinations. Traditional anomaly detection struggles to directly apply within contextual semantics. This paper outlines our experiment in exploring the use of Representation Engineering (RepE) and One-Class Support Vector Machine (OCSVM) […]

arXiv:2601.16988v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The rapid expansion of scholarly publications across diverse disciplines has made it increasingly difficult to systematically evaluate how research contributes to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Domain classification of research articles done manually through research experts is extremely impractical because of the number of publications, expensive in time and may not be consistent when done by human beings. This paper proposes an automated and rule-based computational model of classifying research papers […]

arXiv:2601.16355v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Humans act via a nuanced process that depends both on rational deliberation and also on identity and contextual factors. In this work, we study how large language models (LLMs) can simulate human action in the context of social dilemma games. While prior work has focused on “steering” (weak binding) of chat models to simulate personas, we analyze here how deep binding of base models with extended backstories leads to more faithful replication of […]
