Quantifying and Mitigating Self-Preference Bias of LLM Judges

arXiv:2604.22891v4 Announce Type: replace 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…

Forecasting Conceptual Diffusion in Science: The Case of Quantum Computing

arXiv:2606.03919v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Understanding and anticipating scientific change requires models that distinguish between endogenous consolidation and exogenous diffusion of scientific concepts. Using the quantum computing subtree of concepts in OpenAlex, we construct a temporally resolved concept co-occurrence network…

RogueMerge: Robust and Unified Attacks against LLM Model Merging

arXiv:2606.03344v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Model merging composes specialized capabilities into a single LLM by aggregating task vectors sourced from unverified public platforms, exposing a critical supply-chain attack surface: Because any malicious behavior can be encoded into a task vector,…

Resource-Constrained Adaptive Inference for Sequential Pricing

arXiv:2606.03736v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Resource-constrained pricing controllers can make fixed-price inference impossible: the controller’s resource state may remove the target price neighborhood from the feasible set, even when every realized action has a known positive density. We formalize this…

VeRO: A Harness for Agents to Optimize Agents

arXiv:2602.22480v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: An important emerging application of coding agents is agent harness optimization: the iterative improvement of a target agent by editing and evaluating its code. Despite its relevance, the community lacks a systematic understanding of coding…
