As AI agents move from research demos to production deployments, one question has become impossible to ignore: how do you actually know if an agent is good? Perplexity scores and MMLU leaderboard numbers tell you very little about whether a model can navigate a real website, resolve a GitHub issue, or reliably handle a customer service workflow across hundreds of interactions. The field has responded with a wave of agentic benchmarks — but not all of them are […]

arXiv:2601.07974v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: AI-text detectors achieve high accuracy on in-domain benchmarks, but often struggle to generalize across different generation conditions such as unseen prompts, model families, or domains. While prior work has reported these generalization gaps, there are limited insights about the underlying causes. In this work, we present a systematic study aimed at explaining generalization behavior through linguistic analysis. We construct a comprehensive benchmark that spans 6 prompting strategies, 7 large language models (LLMs), and […]

arXiv:2603.05546v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Accurate and safety-conscious trajectory prediction is a key technology for intelligent transportation systems, especially in V2X-enabled urban environments with complex multi-agent interactions. In this paper, we created a digital twin-driven V2X trajectory prediction pipeline that jointly leverages cooperative perception from vehicles and infrastructure to forecast multi-agent motion at signalized intersections. The proposed model combines a Bi-LSTM-based generator with a structured training objective consisting of a standard mean squared error (MSE) loss and a […]

arXiv:2601.07957v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Maize disease classification plays a vital role in mitigating yield losses and ensuring food security. However, the deployment of traditional disease detection models in resource-constrained environments, such as those using smartphones and drones, faces challenges due to high computational costs. To address these challenges, we propose LWMSCNN-SE, a lightweight convolutional neural network (CNN) that integrates multi-scale feature extraction, depthwise separable convolutions, and squeeze-and-Excitation (SE) attention mechanisms. This novel combination enables the model to […]

Quantum generative modeling is a rapidly evolving discipline at the intersection of quantum computing and machine learning. Contemporary quantum machine learning is generally limited to toy examples or heavily restricted datasets with few elements. This is not only due to the current limitations of available quantum hardware but also due to the absence of inductive biases arising from application-agnostic designs. Current quantum solutions must resort to tricks to scale down high-resolution images, such as relying heavily on dimensionality […]

arXiv:2601.18932v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Popularized by their strong image generation performance, diffusion and related methods for generative modeling have found widespread success in visual media applications. In particular, diffusion methods have enabled new approaches to data compression, where realistic reconstructions can be generated at extremely low bit-rates. This article provides a unifying review of recent diffusion-based methods for generative lossy compression, with a focus on image compression. These methods generally encode the source into an embedding and […]

arXiv:2604.13121v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Locating and intercepting a moving target from possibly delayed, intermittent sensory signals is a paradigmatic problem in decision-making under uncertainty, and a fundamental challenge for, e.g., animals seeking prey or mates and autonomous robotic systems. Odor signals are intermittent, strongly mixed by turbulent-like transport, and typically lag behind the true target position, thereby complicating localization. Here, we formulate olfactory pursuit as a partially observable Markov decision process in which an agent maintains a […]

arXiv:2505.12225v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Best-of-N sampling is a powerful method for improving Large Language Model (LLM) performance, but it is often limited by its dependence on massive, text-based reward models. These models are not only computationally expensive but also data-hungry, requiring extensive labeled datasets for training. This creates a significant data challenge, as they overlook a rich, readily available data source: the LLM’s own internal hidden states. To address this data and efficiency gap, we introduce SWIFT […]

arXiv:2604.15317v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: As the global climate crisis intensifies, 3D video games have emerged as powerful, interactive simulations for Environmental Education (EE). However, empirical assessment of their pedagogical efficacy remains epistemologically challenged. Traditional evaluation metrics, such as pre-post surveys, often suffer from response bias and fail to capture the nuanced, emergent psychological shifts players experience during gameplay. This paper proposes a novel, non-intrusive approach: utilizing Semantic Network Analysis (SNA) to map the ‘unsupervised’ cognitive structures of […]
