Hindsight Hint Distillation: Scaffolded Reasoning for SWE Agents from CoT-free Answers

arXiv:2605.11556v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Solving complex long-horizon tasks requires strong planning and reasoning capabilities. Although datasets with explicit chain-of-thought (CoT) rationales can substantially benefit learning, they are costly to obtain. To address this challenge, we propose Hindsight Hint Distillation…

LEAP: Unlocking dLLM Parallelism via Lookahead Early-Convergence Token Detection

arXiv:2605.10980v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Diffusion Language Models (dLLMs) have garnered significant attention for their potential in highly parallel processing. The parallel capabilities of existing dLLMs stem from the assumption of conditional independence at high confidence levels, which ensures negligible…

Vertex-Softmax: Tight Transformer Verification via Exact Softmax Optimization

arXiv:2605.10974v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Certified verification of transformer attention requires bounding the softmax function over interval constraints on the pre-softmax scores. Existing verifiers relax softmax ndependently of the downstream objective, leaving avoidable slack. We prove that the exact optimum…

Rotation-Preserving Supervised Fine-Tuning

arXiv:2605.10973v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Supervised fine-tuning (SFT) improves in-domain performance but can degrade out-of-domain (OOD) generalization. Prior work suggests that this degradation is related to changes in dominant singular subspaces of pretrained weight matrices. However, directly identifying loss-sensitive directions…

RACC: Representation-Aware Coverage Criteria for LLM Safety Testing

arXiv:2602.02280v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) face severe safety risks from jailbreak attacks, yet current safety testing largely relies on static datasets and lacks systematic criteria to evaluate test suite quality and adequacy. While coverage criteria have…

Causal Algorithmic Recourse: Foundations and Methods

arXiv:2605.11373v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The trustworthiness of AI decision-making systems is increasingly important. A key feature of such systems is the ability to provide recommendations for how an individual may reverse a negative decision, a problem known as algorithmic…
