Infusion: Shaping Model Behavior by Editing Training Data via Influence Functions

arXiv:2602.09987v4 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Influence functions are commonly used to attribute model behavior to training documents. We explore the reverse: crafting training data that induces model behavior. Our framework, Infusion, uses scalable influence-function approximations to compute small perturbations to…

CRISP: Compressed Reasoning via Iterative Self-Policy Distillation

arXiv:2603.05433v5 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Reasoning models think out loud, but much of what they say is noise. We introduce CRISP (Compressed Reasoning via Iterative Self-Policy Distillation), a method that teaches models to reason more concisely by distilling their own…

Self-Directed Task Identification

arXiv:2604.02430v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In this work, we present a novel machine learning framework called Self-Directed Task Identification (SDTI), which enables models to autonomously identify the correct target variable for each dataset in a zero-shot setting without pre-training. SDTI…

Transfer learning for nonparametric Bayesian networks

arXiv:2604.01021v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: This paper introduces two transfer learning methodologies for estimating nonparametric Bayesian networks under scarce data. We propose two algorithms, a constraint-based structure learning method, called PC-stable-transfer learning (PCS-TL), and a score-based method, called hill climbing…

Do We Need Frontier Models to Verify Mathematical Proofs?

arXiv:2604.02450v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Advances in training, post-training, and inference-time methods have enabled frontier reasoning models to win gold medals in math competitions and settle challenging open problems. Gaining trust in the responses of these models requires that natural…
