공유 컨텍스트를 갖춘 분산 멀티 에이전트 시스템

Multi-agent systems (MAS) can scale large language model reasoning at test time by decomposing complex problems into parallel subtasks. However, most existing MAS rely on centralized orchestration, where a main agent assigns work, collects outputs, and merges results. As the number of subtasks grows, this controller becomes a communication and integration bottleneck. We propose Decentralized Language Models (DeLM), a MAS framework that decentralizes coordination through parallel agents, a shared verified context, and a task queue. Agents asynchronously claim subtasks, read accumulated progress, perform local reasoning, and write back compact verified updates. The shared context acts as a common communication substrate, enabling agents to build on one another's verified progress without routing every update through a central controller. Empirically, DeLM improves both software-engineering test-time scaling and long-context reasoning. On SWE-bench Verified, DeLM achieves the best perform

StateSMix: Online Lossless Compression via Mamba State Space Models and Sparse N-gram Context Mixing

We present StateSMix, a fully self-contained lossless compressor that couples an online-trained Mamba-style State Space Model (SSM) with sparse n-gram context mixing and arithmetic coding. The model is initialised from scratch and trained token-by-token on the file being compressed, requiring no pre-trained weights, no GPU, and no external dependencies. The SSM (DM=32, NL=2, approximately 120K active parameters per file) provides a continuously-updated probability estimate over BPE tokens, while nine sparse n-gram hash tables (bigram through 32-gram, 16M slots each) add exact local and long-range pattern memorisation via a softmax-invariant logit-bias mechanism that updates only non-zero-count tokens. An entropy-adaptive scaling mechanism modulates the n-gram contribution based on the SSM's predictive confidence, preventing over-correction when the neural model is already well-calibrated. On the standard enwik8 benchmark, StateSMix achieves 2.123 bpb on 1 MB, 2.149 bpb on 3 MB, and 2.1

AutoLLMResearch: Training Research Agents for Automating LLM Experiment Configuration -- Learning from Cheap, Optimizing Expensive

Effectively configuring scalable large language model (LLM) experiments, spanning architecture design, hyperparameter tuning, and beyond, is crucial for advancing LLM research, as poor configuration choices can waste substantial computational resources and prevent models from realizing their full potential. Prior automated methods are designed for low-cost settings where repeated trial and error is feasible, but scalable LLM experiments are too expensive for such extensive iteration. To our knowledge, no work has addressed the automation of high-cost LLM experiment configurations, leaving this problem labor-intensive and dependent on expert intuition. Motivated by this gap, we propose AutoLLMResearch, an agentic framework that mimics how human researchers learn generalizable principles from low-fidelity experiments and extrapolate to efficiently identify promising configurations in expensive LLM settings. The core challenge is how to enable an agent to learn, through interaction with a

NGM: LLM용 플러그앤플레이 무학습 메모리 모듈

Recent studies introduce conditional memory modules that decouple knowledge storage from neural computation, enabling more direct knowledge access. Compared to MoE, which relies on dynamic computation paths, explicit lookup provides a more efficient knowledge retrieval mechanism. However, these approaches still depend on learned memory embeddings, requiring additional training and limiting flexibility. To address this, we propose N-gram Memory (NGM), a training-free, plug-and-play module composed of a Causal N-Gram Encoder and a Cosine-Gated Memory Injector. The Causal N-Gram Encoder directly averages the pretrained token embeddings of the backbone model to construct N-gram representations, thereby eliminating the need to train separate N-gram embeddings from scratch. This design requires neither an additional memory table nor a retrieval pipeline. The Cosine-Gated Memory Injector then uses a non-parametric cosine gate with ReLU to modulate the retrieved embeddings into the contextual

ClaimDiff-RL: 시각적 주장 비교를 통한 정밀 캡션 강화학습

Long-form image captioning exposes a reward granularity problem in RL: captions are judged as whole sequences, while the important errors occur at the level of individual visual claims. A good dense caption should be both faithful and informative, avoiding hallucination without omitting salient details. Yet pairwise preferences, reference-based metrics, and holistic scalar rewards compress these local errors into a single sequence-level signal, obscuring the tradeoff between factuality and coverage. We introduce ClaimDiff-RL, a framework that uses reference-conditioned atomic claim differences as the reward unit for caption RL. Given an image, an actor caption, and a reference caption, a multimodal judge enumerates visually grounded differences, verifies each difference against the image, assigns open-vocabulary error types and severity levels, and produces per-difference statistics for reward composition. This makes hallucinated claims and omitted salient facts separately measurable a

Mela: Test-Time Memory Consolidation based on Transformation Hypothesis

Memory consolidation, the process by which transient experiences are transformed into stable, structured representations, is a foundational organizing principle in the human brain, yet it remains largely unexplored as a design principle for modern sequence models. In this work, we leverage established neuroscientific theories of memory consolidation and cross-frequency coupling to propose the Hierarchical Memory Module (HMM), a neural memory architecture composed of two functionally distinct sub-modules that operate at different update frequencies. Inspired by the transformation hypothesis, the low-frequency sub-module produces high-level representations that capture abstract, gist-level knowledge, while the high-frequency sub-module produces fine-grained representations that preserve richer episodic detail. The final memory output is dynamically reconstructed as a context-dependent combination of both representations, analogous to the reconstructive nature of human memory retrieval. W

Explainable Disentangled Representation Learning for Generalizable Authorship Attribution in the Era of Generative AI

Learning robust representations of authorial style is crucial for authorship attribution and AI-generated text detection. However, existing methods often struggle with content-style entanglement, where models learn spurious correlations between authors' writing styles and topics, leading to poor generalization across domains. To address this challenge, we propose Explainable Authorship Variational Autoencoder (EAVAE), a novel framework that explicitly disentangles style from content through architectural separation-by-design. EAVAE first pretrains style encoders using supervised contrastive learning on diverse authorship data, then finetunes with a Variational Autoencoder (VEA) architecture using separate encoders for style and content representations. Disentanglement is enforced through a novel discriminator that not only distinguishes whether pairs of style/content representations belong to the same or different authors/content sources, but also generates natural language explanation

ToolSense: LLM의 파라메트릭 도구 지식 감사를 위한 진단 프레임워크

Large language models deployed as agents over large tool catalogs face a critical tool-retrieval bottleneck. As embedding-based retrieval approaches rely on compact encoders that may under-capture specialized tool semantics, parametric tool retrieval addresses this by encoding each tool as a virtual token appended to the LLM vocabulary, fine-tuned in two stages (memorization then retrieval SFT) to use the LLM as a retriever, achieving strong performance on standard ToolBench retrieval benchmarks. Yet these benchmarks use verbose, fully-specified queries, and their evaluation applies constrained decoding that restricts outputs to valid token paths, neither reveals whether the model actually understands its tools. We introduce ToolSense, an open-source LLM-powered diagnostic framework that takes any tool catalog as input and automatically generates three benchmarks: a Realistic Retrieval Benchmark (RRB) with queries at three ambiguity tiers, an MCQ probing benchmark, and a QA probing ben

WebChallenger: 신뢰성과 효율을 갖춘 범용 웹 에이전트

Autonomous web navigation remains challenging for LLM agents, and the strongest generalist systems rely on proprietary reasoning models whose inference cost is prohibitive for the repetitive tasks where such agents would be most useful. We argue this gap stems not from insufficient model capability but from agent architectures that fail to replicate three human cognitive advantages: selective attention to relevant page regions, persistent memory of website structure, and procedural fluency with common interaction patterns. We introduce WebChallenger, a web agent framework that addresses each gap through architecture design rather than model scale, built around PageMem: a structured page representation deterministically constructed from the DOM that exposes each page as a hierarchy of semantic sections with short summaries. On this shared substrate we build three mechanisms that mirror the three cognitive advantages: a divide-and-conquer observation pipeline that lets the agent skim sec

리스크 없는 오픈 웨이트 모델을 향해: LLM의 공개·비공개 역량 분리

Open-weight Large Language Models (LLMs) enable scientific progress and broad deployment. However, they make it difficult to control access to sensitive capabilities. Current practice either suppresses dangerous capabilities before release or mediates access through closed services that use specialized model variants, input/output monitors, and API permissions. The former is susceptible to jailbreaks while sacrificing capability for all users to mitigate the risks posed by a few, and the latter is fundamentally incompatible with open-weight release. In this paper, we propose Tiered Language Models (TLMs), where a single set of released weights supports multiple capability levels. In its default public configuration, a TLM behaves as a conventional LLM. A compact secret key specifies a permutation over a small parameter subset, inducing an alternative computation graph over the same weights that exposes additional capabilities. We develop a training protocol that jointly pretrains both

Solve the Loop: Attractor Models for Language and Reasoning

Looped Transformers offer a promising alternative to purely feed-forward computation by iteratively refining latent representations, improving language modeling and reasoning. Yet recurrent architectures remain unstable to train, costly to optimize and deploy, and constrained to small, fixed recurrence depths. We introduce Attractor Models, in which a backbone module first proposes output embeddings, then an attractor module refines them by solving for the fixed point, with gradients obtained through implicit differentiation. Thus, training memory remains constant in effective depth, and iterations are chosen adaptively by convergence. Empirically, Attractor Models outperform existing models across two regimes, large-scale language-model pretraining and reasoning with tiny models. In language modeling, Attractor Models deliver a Pareto improvement over standard Transformers and stable looped models across sizes, improving perplexity by up to 46.6% and downstream accuracy by up to 19.7%

LLM Agents Already Know When to Call Tools -- Even Without Reasoning

Tool-augmented LLM agents tend to call tools indiscriminately, even when the model can answer directly. Each unnecessary call wastes API fees and latency, yet no existing benchmark systematically studies when a tool call is actually needed. We propose When2Tool, a benchmark of 18 environments (15 single-hop, 3 multi-hop) spanning three categories of tool necessity -- computational scale, knowledge boundaries, and execution reliability -- each with controlled difficulty levels that create a clear decision boundary between tool-necessary and tool-unnecessary tasks. We evaluate two families of training-free baselines: Prompt-only (varying the prompt to discourage unnecessary calls) and Reason-then-Act (requiring the model to reason about tool necessity before acting). Both provide limited control: Prompt-only suppresses necessary calls alongside unnecessary ones, and Reason-then-Act still incurs a disproportionate accuracy cost on hard tasks. To understand why these baselines fail, we pro

As AI-generated reviews move from experimental tools into peer-review infrastructure, most robustness concerns have focused on explicit attacks such as hidden instructions and prompt injection. We study a harder and more policy-relevant failure mode: no hidden text, no prompt injection, and no changes to methods, experiments, figures, equations, proofs, or numerical results. The attacker modifies only presentation-level content, such as the abstract, contribution framing, related work, discussion, and narrative structure. We introduce adversarial repackaging: a closed-loop attack that uses AI-reviewer feedback to search for presentation-level revisions while keeping the scientific evidence fixed. Across three mainstream AI reviewers, adversarial repackaging achieves a 75.1% attack success rate and a mean score gain of +1.21/10. The effect is not explained by ordinary prose polishing. We also reveal that strategies that change how the reviewer interprets the paper, such as related-work

Learning to Explore: Scaling Agentic Reasoning via Exploration-Aware Policy Optimization

Recent advancements in agentic test-time scaling allow models to gather environmental feedback before committing to final actions. A key limitation of existing methods is that they typically employ undifferentiated exploration strategies, lacking the ability to adaptively distinguish when exploration is truly required. In this paper, we propose an exploration-aware reinforcement learning framework that enables LLM agents to adaptively explore only when uncertainty is high. Our method introduces a fine-grained reward function via variational inference that explicitly evaluates exploratory actions by estimating their potential to improve future decision-making, together with an exploration-aware grouping mechanism that separates exploratory actions from task-completion actions during optimization. By targeting informational gaps, this design allows agents to explore selectively and transition to execution as soon as the task context is clear. Empirically, we demonstrate that our approach

RoboSemanticBench, VLA 모델의 행동 예측에서 의미 grounding 진단

Vision-language-action (VLA) models are built on the premise that semantic understanding from pretrained language or vision-language backbones should guide robot action prediction. Yet robot fine-tuning is optimized as imitation over task-specific action distributions, and many evaluations can be solved through visual or instruction-action shortcuts. We introduce RoboSemanticBench (RSB), an embodied benchmark for diagnosing semantic grounding in action prediction: whether post-trained VLA models can use complex instruction semantics to select and manipulate the correct physical target. In each episode, a robot receives a multiple-choice math or general-knowledge question, observes candidate answer blocks, and must grasp the block corresponding to the correct answer. RSB covers controlled arithmetic, grade-school mathematical understanding, and commonsense or factual understanding under four-choice and ten-choice suites. Across representative VLA models, we find that many policies learn

RaguTeam at SemEval-2026 Task 8: Meno and Friends in a Judge-Orchestrated LLM Ensemble for Faithful Multi-Turn Response Generation

We present our winning system for Task~B (generation with reference passages) in SemEval-2026 Task~8: MTRAGEval. Our method is a heterogeneous ensemble of seven LLMs with two prompting variants, where a GPT-4o-mini judge selects the best candidate per instance. We ranked 1st out of 26 teams, achieving a conditioned harmonic mean of 0.7827 and outperforming the strongest baseline (gpt-oss-120b, 0.6390). Ablations show that diversity in model families, scales, and prompting strategies is essential, with the ensemble consistently beating any single model. We also introduce Meno-Lite-0.1, a 7B domain-adapted model with a strong cost--performance trade-off, and analyse MTRAGEval, highlighting annotation limitations and directions for improvement.

Missing Old Logits in Asynchronous Agentic RL: Semantic Mismatch and Repair Methods for Off-Policy Correction

Asynchronous reinforcement learning improves rollout throughput for large language model agents by decoupling sample generation from policy optimization, but it also introduces a critical failure mode for PPO-style off-policy correction. In heterogeneous training systems, the total importance ratio should ideally be decomposed into two semantically distinct factors: a training--inference discrepancy term that aligns inference-side and training-side distributions at the same behavior-policy version, and a policy-staleness term that constrains the update from the historical policy to the current policy. We show that practical asynchronous pipelines with delayed updates and partial rollouts often lose the required historical training-side logits, or old logits. This missing-old-logit problem entangles discrepancy repair with staleness correction, breaks the intended semantics of decoupled correction, and makes clipping and masking thresholds interact undesirably. To address this issue, we

Self-Evolving LLM Memory Extraction Across Heterogeneous Tasks

As LLM-based assistants become persistent and personalized, they must extract and retain useful information from past conversations as memory. However, the types of information worth remembering vary considerably across tasks. We formalize the heterogeneous memory extraction task and introduce BEHEMOTH, a benchmark that repurposes 18 existing datasets spanning personalization, problem-solving, and agentic tasks, using a downstream utility-driven metric for systematic evaluation. Our empirical analysis confirms that no single static extraction prompt dominates across all task categories, and that existing self-evolving prompt optimization frameworks, originally designed for homogeneous distributions, degrade when training tasks are heterogeneous. To address this, we propose CluE, a cluster-based self-evolving strategy that groups training examples into clusters by extraction scenarios, analyzes each cluster independently, and synthesizes cross-cluster insights to update the extraction p

World2Minecraft: Occupancy-Driven Simulated Scenes Construction

Embodied intelligence requires high-fidelity simulation environments to support perception and decision-making, yet existing platforms often suffer from data contamination and limited flexibility. To mitigate this, we propose World2Minecraft to convert real-world scenes into structured Minecraft environments based on 3D semantic occupancy prediction. In the reconstructed scenes, we can effortlessly perform downstream tasks such as Vision-Language Navigation(VLN). However, we observe that reconstruction quality heavily depends on accurate occupancy prediction, which remains limited by data scarcity and poor generalization in existing models. We introduce a low-cost, automated, and scalable data acquisition pipeline for creating customized occupancy datasets, and demonstrate its effectiveness through MinecraftOcc, a large-scale dataset featuring 100,165 images from 156 richly detailed indoor scenes. Extensive experiments show that our dataset provides a critical complement to existing da

Multiple Instance Learning (MIL) addresses problems where supervision is available at the level of bags of instances and has been successfully applied in fields ranging from computational pathology to satellite imagery. Nevertheless, existing algorithms struggle in the low-label regime that characterizes many real-world applications. Flexible models overfit and rigid ones fail to adapt to the task at hand. We show that pretraining an in-context learner with a Perceiver-style architecture on synthetic data yields a model that can solve new tasks from a handful of labeled bags. At inference time, classification happens in a single forward pass and requires no gradient updates. We propose and investigate different synthetic data generators for bag-structured data and find that they capture complementary inductive biases. A model pretrained on a mixture of these generators inherits their per-task strengths and achieves the best average performance across twelve MIL benchmarks, outperformin

TabEmbed: Benchmarking and Learning Generalist Embeddings for Tabular Understanding

Foundation models have established unified representations for natural language processing, yet this paradigm remains largely unexplored for tabular data. Existing methods face fundamental limitations: LLM-based approaches lack retrieval-compatible vector outputs, whereas text embedding models often fail to capture tabular structure and numerical semantics. To bridge this gap, we first introduce the Tabular Embedding Benchmark (TabBench), a comprehensive suite designed to evaluate the tabular understanding capability of embedding models. We then propose TabEmbed, the first generalist embedding model that unifies tabular classification and retrieval within a shared embedding space. By reformulating diverse tabular tasks as semantic matching problems, TabEmbed leverages large-scale contrastive learning with positive-aware hard negative mining to discern fine-grained structural and numerical nuances. Experimental results on TabBench demonstrate that TabEmbed significantly outperforms stat

LLM 심리측정 평가 재고: 자기보고가 행동을 예측하는 시점과 이유

Anticipating LLM behavioral tendencies from low-cost psychometric probes is critical for safe deployment, but only if self-reports (SR) reliably predict behavior. Recent work documented substantial SR-behavior dissociation in LLMs, but relied on broad personality traits (Big 5) that predict specific behaviors weakly, even in humans. Furthermore, the isolation of conversational sessions combined with weak context matching left open whether LLMs truly lack coherence or whether the conditions needed to detect such coherence were not met. We contrast Big 5 with the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB), which measures intention targeted to a specific behavior and predicts human behavior substantially better than broad traits. We run experiments across four behavioral tasks and 11 frontier LLMs, while also varying session context and identity induction. We find that SR-behavior coherence exists but is selective. 1) Within a shared conversation, the Theory of Planned Behavior reaches human-level

“미세한 결정은 내가 내린 게 아니었다”, 협업에서 목표 수준 AI 기여를 측정·유도·가시화하다

As large language models (LLMs) increasingly shape how users form, refine, and extend their goals, attributing contributions in human-AI collaboration becomes critical for users calibrating their own reliance and for evaluators assessing AI-assisted work. Yet existing methods focus on final artifacts, missing the process through which goals themselves are jointly shaped. We introduce a goal-level attribution framework, CoTrace, that decomposes explicit goals into verifiable requirements and traces both direct contributions and indirect influences across dialogue turns. Applying CoTrace to 638 real-world collaboration logs, we find that while models account for only 11-26% of goal-shaping contribution, they contribute substantially more on introducing lower-level concrete requirements, and make various kinds of indirect contributions. Through controlled simulations, we show that interaction design choices significantly affect model goal-shaping behavior. In a user study, exposing partic

RealICU: Do LLM Agents Understand Long-Context ICU Data? A Benchmark Beyond Behavior Imitation

Intensive care units (ICU) generate long, dense and evolving streams of clinical information, where physicians must repeatedly reassess patient states under time pressure, underscoring a clear need for reliable AI decision support. Existing ICU benchmarks typically treat historical clinician actions as ground truth. However, these actions are made under incomplete information and limited temporal context of the underlying patient state, and may therefore be suboptimal, making it difficult to assess the true reasoning capabilities of AI systems. We introduce RealICU, a hindsight-annotated benchmark for evaluating large language models (LLMs) under realistic ICU conditions, where labels are created after senior physicians review the full patient trajectory. We formulate four physician-motivated tasks: assess Patient Status, Acute Problems, Recommended Actions, and Red Flag actions that risk unsafe outcomes.

PoLAR: 로봇 정책 학습을 위한 잠재 행동의 범위와 모드 분해

Latent action pretraining learns representations of visual change from pairs of observations, but existing methods typically encode each transition as a single unstructured representation that entangles transition extent and transition mode. We introduce Polar Latent Actions with Radial structure (PoLAR), which imposes a radial-direction structure on latent actions, encouraging radius to encode transition extent and direction to retain transition mode. PoLAR uses temporal offset between two observations as a weak proxy for transition extent, encouraging latent action from observation pairs separated by larger temporal gaps to occupy larger radii. We instantiate this structure in hyperbolic space, whose expanding volume with radius offers a natural fit for more diverse transition modes at larger extents. Across in-task and large-scale pretraining settings, PoLAR improves downstream policy performance in simulation and real-world robot experiments, outperforming latent action baselines a

Metal-Sci: A Scientific Compute Benchmark for Evolutionary LLM Kernel Search on Apple Silicon

We present Metal-Sci, a 10-task benchmark of scientific Apple Silicon Metal compute kernels spanning six optimization regimes (stencils, all-pairs in n-body problems, multi-field Boltzmann, neighbor-list molecular dynamics, multi-kernel PDE, FFT). Each task ships a CPU reference, a roofline-anchored fitness function, and a held-out generalization size. We pair the benchmark with a lightweight harness for automatic kernel search that runtime-compiles each candidate, scores it against the roofline across multiple sizes, and feeds structured compile and per-size correctness diagnostics back to a frozen LLM driving a (1{+}1) evolutionary loop.

TCDA: Thread-Constrained Discourse-Aware Modeling for Conversational Sentiment Quadruple Analysis

Conversational Aspect-based Sentiment Quadruple Analysis (DiaASQ) needs to capture the complex interrelationships in multiple rounds of dialogues. Existing methods usually employ simple Graph Convolutional Networks (GCN), which introduce structural noise and fail to consider the temporal sequence of the dialogues, or use standard RoPE, which implicitly captures relative distances in a flat sequence but cannot clearly separate the token-level syntactic order from the utterance-level progression, and may suffer from the Distance Dilution problem. To address these issues, we propose a new framework that combines Thread-Constrained Directed Acyclic Graph (TC-DAG) and Discourse-Aware Rotary Position Embedding (D-RoPE). Specifically, TC-DAG filters out cross-thread noise based on thread constraints, maintains global connectivity through root anchoring, and incorporates the temporal sequence of the dialogues.

Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs) are inclined explore Small Language Models (SLMs) as edge-native constitutional firewalls to vet proposals and mitigate semantic social engineering.

V-GRPO: Online Reinforcement Learning for Denoising Generative Models Is Easier than You Think

Aligning denoising generative models with human preferences or verifiable rewards remains a key challenge. While policy-gradient online reinforcement learning (RL) offers a principled post-training framework, its direct application is hindered by the intractable likelihoods of these models. Prior work therefore either optimizes an induced Markov decision process (MDP) over sampling trajectories, which is stable but inefficient, or uses likelihood surrogates based on the diffusion evidence lower bound (ELBO), which have so far underperformed on visual generation. Our key insight is that the ELBO-based approach can, in fact, be made both stable and efficient. By reducing surrogate variance and controlling gradient steps, we show that this approach can beat MDP-based methods. To this end, we introduce Variational GRPO (V-GRPO), a method that integrates ELBO-based surrogates with the Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO) algorithm, alongside a set of simple yet essential techniques.
