ResearchClawBench: A Benchmark for End-to-End Autonomous Scientific Research

arXiv:2606.07591v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: AI coding agents are increasingly used for scientific work, but their end-to-end autonomous research capability remains difficult to verify. We present ResearchClawBench, a benchmark for evaluating autonomous scientific research across 40 tasks from 10 scientific…

Learning Quantized Continuous Controllers for Integer Hardware

arXiv:2511.07046v4 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Deploying continuous-control reinforcement learning policies on embedded hardware requires meeting tight latency and power budgets. Small FPGAs can deliver these, but only if costly floating-point pipelines are avoided. We study quantization-aware training (QAT) of policies…

Shortcuts in the Tail: Debiasing via Post-Hoc Spectral Compression of Fine-Tuning Updates

arXiv:2606.07596v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Fine-tuning often introduces spurious correlations alongside task knowledge, causing systematic failures on underrepresented groups. Existing mitigations require retraining, group labels, or curated counterfactual data. We show a simple post-hoc intervention reduces shortcut reliance without any…

Learning Behavioral Signals from Encrypted Smartphone Network Traffic

arXiv:2605.01616v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Human behavior is challenging to measure continuously at scale, yet traces of daily routines and well-being may be reflected in interactions with personal devices. We investigate whether encrypted smartphone network traffic can serve as a…

Scalable Inference-Time Annealing with Surrogate Likelihood Estimators

arXiv:2605.31498v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: A long standing challenge in computational chemistry and biophysics is efficiently sampling the Boltzmann distribution of molecules. Advances in generative modeling have been proposed to address the limitations of conventional sampling techniques by eliminating the…
