SynthTools: A Framework for Scaling Synthetic Tools for Agent Development

arXiv:2511.09572v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: AI agents increasingly rely on external tools to solve complex, long-horizon tasks. Advancing such agents requires reproducible evaluation and large-scale training in controllable, diverse, and realistic tool-use environments. However, real-world APIs are limited in availability,…

WOD-E2E: Waymo Open Dataset for End-to-End Driving in Challenging Long-tail Scenarios

arXiv:2510.26125v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Vision-based end-to-end (E2E) driving has garnered significant interest in the research community due to its scalability and synergy with multimodal large language models (MLLMs). However, current E2E driving benchmarks primarily feature nominal scenarios, failing to…

Enhancing PIBT via Multi-Action Operations

arXiv:2511.09193v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: PIBT is a rule-based Multi-Agent Path Finding (MAPF) solver, widely used as a low-level planner or action sampler in many state-of-the-art approaches. Its primary advantage lies in its exceptional speed, enabling action selection for thousands…

Why Open Small AI Models Matter for Interactive Art

arXiv:2511.09788v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This position paper argues for the importance of open small AI models in creative independence for interactive art practices. Deployable locally, these models offer artists vital control over infrastructure and code, unlike dominant large, closed-source…

Towards Emotionally Intelligent and Responsible Reinforcement Learning

arXiv:2511.10573v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Personalized decision systems in healthcare and behavioral support often rely on static rule-based or engagement-maximizing heuristics that overlook users’ emotional context and ethical constraints. Such approaches risk recommending insensitive or unsafe interventions, especially in domains…

Robust Watermarking on Gradient Boosting Decision Trees

arXiv:2511.09822v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Gradient Boosting Decision Trees (GBDTs) are widely used in industry and academia for their high accuracy and efficiency, particularly on structured data. However, watermarking GBDT models remains underexplored compared to neural networks. In this work,…

Thermally Activated Dual-Modal Adversarial Clothing against AI Surveillance Systems

arXiv:2511.09829v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Adversarial patches have emerged as a popular privacy-preserving approach for resisting AI-driven surveillance systems. However, their conspicuous appearance makes them difficult to deploy in real-world scenarios. In this paper, we propose a thermally activated adversarial…
