Agentic Systems as Boosting Weak Reasoning Models

arXiv:2605.14163v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Can a committee of weak reasoning-model calls reach the performance of much stronger models? We study verifier-backed committee search as inference-time boosting for reasoning language models. The mechanism is not simply that “more agents help”:…

A cross-species neural foundation model for end-to-end speech decoding

arXiv:2511.21740v5 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Speech brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) aim to restore communication for people with paralysis by translating neural activity into text. Most systems use cascaded frameworks that decode phonemes before assembling sentences with an n-gram language model (LM),…

Unsteady Metrics and Benchmarking Cultures of AI Model Builders

arXiv:2605.14164v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The primary way to establish and compare competencies in foundation and generative AI models has shifted from peer-reviewed literature to press releases and company blog posts, where model builders highlight results on selected benchmarks. These…

Krause Synchronization Transformers

arXiv:2602.11534v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Self-attention in Transformers relies on globally normalized softmax weights, causing all tokens to compete for influence at every layer. When composed across depth, this interaction pattern induces strong synchronization dynamics that favor convergence toward a…

The Evaluation Trap: Benchmark Design as Theoretical Commitment

arXiv:2605.14167v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Every AI benchmark operationalizes theoretical assumptions about the capability it claims to assess. When assumptions function as unexamined commitments, benchmarks stabilize the dominant paradigm by narrowing what counts as progress. Over time, narrow evaluation reorganizes…

Grounded Continuation: A Linear-Time Runtime Verifier for LLM Conversations

arXiv:2605.14175v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In long conversations, an LLM can produce a next utterance that sounds plausible but rests on premises the conversation has already abandoned. Context-manipulation attacks against deployed agents now actively exploit this gap. We close it…

Quantifying and Mitigating Self-Preference Bias of LLM Judges

arXiv:2604.22891v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: LLM-as-a-Judge has become a dominant approach in automated evaluation systems, playing critical roles in model alignment, leaderboard construction, quality control, and so on. However, the scalability and trustworthiness of this approach can be substantially distorted…

Towards Label-Free Single-Cell Phenotyping Using Multi-Task Learning

arXiv:2605.14717v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Label-free single-cell imaging offers a scalable, non-invasive alternative to fluorescence-based cytometry, yet inferring molecular phenotypes directly from bright-field morphology remains challenging. We present a unified Deep Learning (DL) framework that jointly performs White Blood Cell…
