arXiv:2605.27485v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Formal verification offers a path to provably correct software, but writing verified code remains expensive enough that the technique is rarely used in production. Recent large language models can accelerate this work, and recent benchmarks measure their ability to translate specifications into code and machine-checked proofs of correctness. This thesis evaluates the state of such LLM-driven verified-code generation ("vericoding") in Lean and develops search-based methods for improving verification performance. We first reproduce a subset of the vericoding-benchmark Lean leaderboard on a current cross-vendor model pool, finding that non-reasoning performance remains roughly steady on US closed-source models while open-weight models have slightly improved. We update the iterative methodology of vericoding-benchmark with an agentic loop equipped with mathlib search, finding that model performance greatly improves and scales with agent bud

arXiv:2605.27904v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Time series forecasting in real-world settings often depends not only on historical observations, but also on external context that must be actively discovered from noisy, heterogeneous information sources. Yet existing context-aided forecasting benchmarks typically assume that the supporting context is already provided, leaving open whether agents can identify it on their own. Therefore, we introduce Dr-CiK, a benchmark for evaluating whether agents can retrieve forecasting-relevant supporting context from a document corpus, filter out distractors, distill the retrieved context into forecast-useful evidence, and generate forecasts supported by that evidence. Through context ablations and evaluations of state-of-the-art deep research and forecasting methods paired together, we show that high-quality context substantially improves forecasting performance in Dr-CiK. However, most existing DR agents recover only a small fraction of the groun

arXiv:2510.27266v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Autonomous graphical user interface (GUI) agents rely on accurate GUI grounding, which maps language instructions to on-screen coordinates, to execute user commands. However, current models, whether trained via supervised fine-tuning (SFT) or reinforcement learning (RL), often provide confidence signals that are poorly aligned with actual grounding correctness, leading to overconfident and unreliable predictions. To address this, we propose HyperClick, a novel framework that enhances trustworthy GUI grounding through self-critiqued reinforcement learning (SCRL). HyperClick combines a correctness reward and a confidence alignment reward, training the policy model to output both a click prediction and an explicit confidence estimate. This approach jointly optimizes grounding accuracy and confidence reliability through confidence-based self-assessment. Extensive experiments on challenging benchmarks show that HyperClick maintains strong

arXiv:2605.28729v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Robustness of neural networks is commonly quantified via local or global Lipschitz constants. However, Lipschitz continuity can be overly coarse or overly restrictive as global robustness measure, failing to capture nuanced, data-dependent behavior. We propose a data-driven, architecture-agnostic framework based on the discrete modulus of continuity (DMOC), a non linear generalization of Lipschitz continuity that provides a finer notion of robustness. Unlike many existing approaches, DMOC does not require access to model internals and instead evaluates regularity relative to the data distribution. This shifts the focus from the model to the data, which provide a data-driven baseline of regularity against which the network's robustness is assessed. We establish convergence results for DMOC-induced seminorms with explicit data-driven rates in terms of the separation distance, and introduce a scalable minibatch algorithm that reduces the q

arXiv:2605.28602v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly used for tasks that implicitly reduce to Boolean satisfiability (SAT), yet their reasoning ability on SAT remains unclear. We present a systematic study of LLMs on 2-SAT and 3-SAT, together with two canonical reductions, Vertex Cover and discrete 3D packing, to probe representation-invariant reasoning. We first evaluate models using conventional metrics, including accuracy, precision, recall, and F1, as well as the SAT phase-transition setting. We find that these metrics can be misleading: many models obtain high scores by over-predicting satisfiable formulas, fail to reproduce the classical easy-hard-easy signature around the 3-SAT threshold, and degrade sharply as the number of variables grows. To address this problem, we introduce a paired-formula protocol based on minimally different satisfiable and unsatisfiable instances, together with Accurate Differentiation Rate (ADR), which requires

arXiv:2605.28042v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Modern large language models (LLMs) achieve state-of-the-art machine translation performance, but they do so as broad generalists largely trained for many tasks and capabilities unrelated to translation. Thus, they are heavily overparameterized for this task, resulting in excessive memory and compute requirements. In this paper, we present a method for aggressively pruning experts from modern mixture-of-experts LLMs while incurring negligible degradation in translation quality. Our approach exploits expert specialization and the separability of multilingual capabilities in LLMs to identify experts irrelevant to translation. And because of the modular nature of MoEs, these can be easily pruned without any training. Without retraining, we are able to prune half of all experts with negligible degradation and 70% with only minor losses. With a very short SFT, we prune 75% of experts while recovering baseline performance, and in some setting

arXiv:2605.27622v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: To safely interact with humans, AI agents must both know our norms and consider them during planning. However, such norm-guided planning has been less explored, only within communities of artificial agents, and has ignored the dynamic nature of norms. This paper instead presents an approach to guiding planning with dynamically changing norms in a human-AI setting. We contribute a defeasible calculus for resolving normative conflicts and an approach to using such dynamically changing norms as guard rails on plans. We theoretically demonstrate our approach with formal proofs and empirically with an AI agent, SocialBot, on a natural language dialogue task.

arXiv:2510.06970v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Compliance with maritime traffic rules is essential for the safe operation of autonomous vessels, yet training reinforcement learning (RL) agents to adhere to them is challenging. The behavior of RL agents is shaped by the training scenarios they encounter, but creating scenarios that capture the complexity of maritime navigation is non-trivial, and real-world data alone is insufficient. To address this, we propose a falsification-driven RL approach that generates adversarial training scenarios in which the vessel under test violates maritime traffic rules, which are expressed as signal temporal logic specifications. Our experiments on open-sea navigation with two vessels demonstrate that the proposed approach provides more relevant training scenarios and achieves more consistent rule compliance.

arXiv:2605.27470v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Graph anomaly detection aims to identify anomaly nodes in attributed graphs and plays an important role in real-world applications. However, existing graph anomaly detection methods still face two key challenges: 1) fixed pipelines, which restrict their adaptability across different graph tasks under limited supervision; 2) weak evidence, which prevents them from explicitly incorporating contextual and structural anomaly signals into the detection process. In this paper, we propose a novel framework, self-designing agentic workflows for few-shot graph anomaly detection (SignGAD). Specifically, we propose a novel paradigm that reformulates graph anomaly detection task from training a fixed anomaly detector to designing task-conditioned detection workflows. By constructing detection workflows, SignGAD selects suitable graph encodings and detector designs to exploit task-specific anomaly evidence. Meanwhile, we introduce a guarded final re

arXiv:2605.28630v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Zero-Shot Anomaly Detection (ZSAD) aims to detect anomalies in unseen domains without target-domain adaptation. Recent CLIP-based methods have shown promising performance by leveraging prompt learning and visual-text alignment. However, most existing approaches rely on a single adaptation pathway, which may be insufficient for heterogeneous anomaly patterns across domains. In practice, anomalies exhibit vastly different characteristics, ranging from salient, localized structural disruptions to subtle, diffuse, and irregular variations. To address this challenge, we propose EntroAD, a structural entropy-guided zero-shot anomaly detection framework. Unlike previous methods, EntroAD introduces a dynamic routing mechanism to process different types of anomalies with specialized adaptation strategies. Specifically, we estimate patch-level structural entropy from self-attention-induced patch relations and use it as a proxy for relational uncert

arXiv:2605.28239v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Semi-supervised referring expression segmentation (SS-RES) aims to achieve precise pixel-level language grounding under limited annotation, yet suffers from limited supervision and unreliable pseudo-labels when exploiting unlabeled image-text pairs. In this work, we propose Learning to Label, a reinforced self-evolving framework (L2L) that casts pseudo-label construction as a learnable decision-making process. To build foundational understanding, we leverage a multimodal large language model to extract semantic-spatial priors, which are instantiated as initial soft segmentation proposals and elevated, together with textual cues, into learnable guidance signals that condition a hierarchical segmentation network. To ensure stable learning, reinforced pseudo-label selection is formulated as an exploratory decision process that adaptively rewards high-utility pixel-level supervision based on multimodal priors and model predictions. This reinf

arXiv:2605.27461v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Vision-Language-Action (VLA) policies have shown promising manipulation capabilities, yet their practical impact is often limited by the reliability demands of real-world deployment. We present a deployment study of an industrial packaging task at Siemens Factory (GWE, Erlangen, Germany), where a robot must pick a transparent accessory bag from a cluttered pile, insert it into the remaining cavity of a cardboard package, and ensure that the bag and its contents remain below the closing plane. Our goal is to understand the practical effort required to adapt a pretrained Pi0.5 policy to a single factory-floor task through iterative fine-tuning and deployment-driven refinement. The pipeline consists of repeated loops of data collection, curation, fine-tuning, evaluation, and targeted recovery data collection. We have accumulated 2535 episodes (10 hours) from the on-site factory settings. In this paper, we contribute an empirical account of a

arXiv:2602.22787v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large language model (LLM) hallucinations, meaning fluent but factually incorrect generations, fall into two types: faithfulness violations, where the model misuses provided context, and factuality violations, where answers reflect errors in internal knowledge. Proper mitigation depends on knowing which source drives each answer. We study contributive attribution, i.e. the classification of the dominant knowledge source behind each output, and show that a simple linear probe trained on hidden representations can reliably identify it. We introduce AttriWiki, a self-supervised pipeline that automatically generates labelled training data by prompting models to recall withheld entities from memory or read them from context without relying on knowledge conflicts. Probes trained on AttriWiki achieve up to 0.96 Macro-$F_1$ on Llama-3.1-8B, Mistral-7B, and Qwen-7B, transfer to SQuAD and WebQuestions with 0.94-0.99 Macro-$F_1$, and gener

arXiv:2510.22190v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Bent radio active galactic nuclei (RAGNs) -- wide-angle tails (WATs) and narrow-angle tails (NATs) -- trace dense environments in galaxy groups and clusters, yet no multiclass classifier simultaneously separates them from straight Fanaroff--Riley types (sFRI, sFRII) using visually inspected labels and unlabelled data. We release FIRST-2060, a four-class labelled dataset of 2060 RAGNs (sFRI, sFRII, WAT, NAT) constructed from three publicly available catalogues through multi-tier visual inspection, together with the semi-supervised RGC 1.0 model that leverages 20,000 unlabelled sources. We benchmark RGC against five supervised baselines. FIRST-2060 is provided in two preprocessing variants: $\mathbf{R}_{L1}$, which retains spurious sources, and $\mathbf{R}_{L2}$, from which they are removed. The RGC model integrates the self-supervised framework BYOL (Bootstrap Your Own Latent) with an $E(2)$-equivariant steerable CNN (E2CNN) enco

arXiv:2605.28207v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) is now the dominant architecture for frontier language models, yet it requires all expert parameters to be loaded in memory, making it less preferable for memory-constrained deployment. Existing compression methods reduce the number of experts but the output remains an MoE model with the same fundamental limitation. We present the first systematic framework for converting a trained MoE into a standard fully dense architecture: experts are scored, selected, and grouped, then concatenated into a dense FFN and refined by knowledge distillation from the MoE teacher. We evaluate 7 scoring, 5 grouping, and 2 magnitude scaling methods across a range of selected expert counts on Qwen3-30B-A3B, yielding 350 configurations. We find that the choice of scoring method is the most impactful, with our novel diversity-aware scoring consistently outperforming prior methods on Qwen3-30B-A3B, DeepSeek-V2-Lite, and GPT-OSS-20B.
