A new system identifies and corrects unreliable object descriptions stored in a robot’s memory, improving the robot’s ability to interact with its environment.
arXiv:2611.05390v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multi-agent language-model systems often add a reviewer to improve an upstream agent's decision. Yet a reviewer can both repair errors and replace decisions that were already correct. We study this as a problem of institutional jurisdiction: conditional on the same proposal, task information, model, and review output, when is the reviewer authorized to make its recommendation binding? We compare broad override authority with an evidence gate that p
arXiv:2611.05391v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Tool descriptions tell an agent what an action can do, but they do not necessarily reveal whether that action is healthy or suitable at the moment of use. Execution harnesses often possess this information through monitors, traces, and recent failures while the model choosing the next action does not. We call this gap operational blindness. We introduce Agent Harness Awareness, a trust-separated design in which the host supplies a small, fresh, ver
arXiv:2611.05392v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Agentic artificial intelligence (AI) systems powered by large language models (LLMs) execute as autonomous multi-step pipelines that dynamically invoke tools, integrate observations into memory, and iterate until a task is resolved or a resource budget is exhausted. Unlike classical workflows with fixed graphs, the aggregate compute, bandwidth, and end-to-end latency demands of such pipelines are unknown at dispatch time: they emerge at runtime fro
arXiv:2611.05393v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models perform strongly on standard medical QA but degrade on harder reasoning tasks, where multi-agent debate often fails to beat strong single-model prompting. We argue that a key limitation is that existing systems select experts and retrieve knowledge from the question alone, rather than from gaps that emerge during reasoning. We propose challenge-aware adaptive recruitment: an external CHALLENGER inspects the evolving reasoning
arXiv:2611.05394v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Tiered inference distributes large language model computation across a hierarchy of devices, from on-device and edge hardware to the datacenter, and is increasingly offered as the route to cheaper, lower-latency, and more private serving. Most such systems orchestrate frozen model checkpoints, and most decide what to resolve locally and what to escalate using a confidence signal produced by a forward-deployed model. We give a closed-form condition
arXiv:2611.05450v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: As agents become more capable, they are moving beyond one-off tasks toward sustained assistance across successive user goals. Such assistance requires agents to discover how unfamiliar environments work, reuse what they learn across tasks, and keep that experience current as environments evolve. Existing benchmarks increasingly study experience reuse and adaptation, but provide limited insight into which parts of accumulated experience agents revis
arXiv:2611.05459v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly used to support scientific literature reviews, yet evaluations often examine individual tasks rather than the review process as a whole. We assess six AI tools across four stages: finding relevant articles, interpreting them, synthesizing across them, and proposing future research. The benchmark is a published review of the Spanish plume weather pattern and its 102-article corpus. In the initial searche
arXiv:2611.05512v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: AI Agents are becoming digital coworkers that can browse the web, write code, run experiments, and assist humans over extended horizons. Yet existing benchmarks fall short of real knowledge work: many rely on synthetic data or isolated tasks, missing the complex, multi-party dynamics of collaborative projects, where critical information is scattered across conversations, code, and evolving decisions. Even simple workplace questions may require loca
arXiv:2611.05524v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We propose MA-SafeDiffuser, a multi-agent extension of SafeDiffuser that equips diffusion-based trajectory planners with finite-time diffusion invariance guarantees for joint-agent safety specifications. Building on the single-agent construction that embeds control barrier function (CBF) constraints into reverse-diffusion updates, we: (i) formalize joint safe sets as intersections of per-agent and pairwise barrier sets; (ii) derive centralized and
arXiv:2611.05542v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Whole-page ranking jointly optimizes advertisements and organic content to balance business outcomes and user engagement under complex layout and business constraints. Existing non-autoregressive (NAR) approaches enable efficient page generation but typically score candidate items independently of previously selected items, limiting their ability to capture order-dependent interactions. Autoregressive (AR) methods address this limitation through se
arXiv:2611.05548v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We evaluate the extent to which agentic AI models can complete an end-to-end data science project, and how this improves with feedback. A 'writer' model with specific tools creates a complete data science project including downloading, cleaning, and analyzing a dataset, and writing a short paper about it. The project is executed and a 'grader' model evaluates it. The writer can then revise its submission, and this repeats for a total of three round
arXiv:2611.05549v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Transparency has become a central principle in AI governance, yet there is little agreement about what transparency means, for whom, and in what contexts. Drawing on interpretive flexibility within the Social Construction of Technology, this paper examines how different stakeholders understand and experience transparency in generative AI. This study draws from a global survey of 400 end-users, AI builders, and policymakers, complemented by a struct
arXiv:2611.05551v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Virtual trials use routinely collected clinical data to evaluate treatment strategies, but translating a study protocol into an executable analysis requires determining how clinical concepts and study requirements should be represented in the available data and applied consistently across the workflow. These decisions depend on local data representations and operational conventions and can involve source selection, patient and encounter identity, l
arXiv:2611.05556v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: LLM-as-a-judge is a common substitute for costly human evaluation, and aggregating several judges is the standard remedy for any single judge's bias. Judge pools mix judges of very different reliability, while the human-labeled sets that validate them hold a few hundred items or fewer. In this regime the per-item mean weights weak judges as heavily as strong ones, and confusion-table models such as Dawid-Skene must estimate a per-judge error table
arXiv:2611.05581v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Real-world vision is dynamic and scene-rich, while EEG and fMRI resolve it at complementary temporal and spatial scales. Most neural decoding systems, however, align one modality in isolation and mostly against static images or short clips. We study the synchronized case: EEG and fMRI are recorded during the same long-form naturalistic viewing, giving a shared stimulus but also recurring narrative context and many semantically similar candidates. W
arXiv:2611.05586v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: As autonomous AI agents enter permissionless onchain markets, selecting new service providers remains a core challenge. Existing reputation systems depend on scarce resources like human curation, identity credentials, or voluntary reviews, while naive volume rankings are vulnerable to Sybil attacks. We evaluate whether existing onchain payment histories can yield provider ratings that are resilient against Sybil attacks. Using a 157-day dataset com
arXiv:2611.05590v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: What should ``verified'' mean when evaluating LLM-generated code? Many existing pipelines report a single verification number. We argue this collapses three distinct properties measured in a conditional audit sequence: verifier acceptance (Surface A), \emph{syntactic specification binding (Surface B: does the proof obligation bind to the spec?), and \emph{semantic specification fidelity} (Surface C: does the spec capture the informal requirement?).
arXiv:2611.05611v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Speculative decoding (SD) speeds up large language model (LLM) serving, but its gain depends on the workload's \emph{shape}, such as batch size and context length, and on its \emph{content}. A model-based drafter proposes a short block on any content, while a model-free drafter such as n-gram lookup proposes long copies at almost no cost when the output repeats its input, as in code editing. Adaptive verification spends a batch-wide verification bu
arXiv:2611.05620v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: On Replit, our agentic engineering platform, users now build entire products without writing code, through successive feature requests to an agent. Yet existing coding benchmarks evaluate single, fully specified tasks, and many are near saturation. We introduce ViBench 2.0, a benchmark for long-horizon software building that we use to select our platform's models. Its 17 full-stack web products, modeled on widely used software, grow over 241 featur
arXiv:2611.05632v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Autonomous software agents can act through tools, delegate work, and change their models or execution environments while earlier authorizations remain in flight. We present Assurance-Conditioned Continuous Authorization (ACCA), an approach designed to be harness-independent, for maintaining operational authority according to currently justified assurance. It distinguishes evidence validity from contextual applicability, derives assurance claims fro
