arXiv:2608.13453v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models have emerged as generalist robotic policies capable of following diverse language instructions and performing a wide range of manipulation tasks. However, their direct control over embodied agents also exposes them to adversarial…
arXiv:2608.12368v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Agreement with human judgments is a common proxy for evaluating the alignment of large language models (LLMs). Yet agreement in final labels does not show that human annotators and models rely on the same moral…
arXiv:2608.12346v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This position paper argues that modern AI alignment methods – originally designed to prevent harmful output – are dual-use technologies that may easily be misused by malicious actors for censorship and manipulation. By mapping current…
arXiv:2601.19612v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Safe exploration is a key requirement for reinforcement learning (RL) agents to learn and adapt online, beyond controlled (e.g. simulated) environments. In this work, we tackle this challenge by utilizing suboptimal yet conservative policies (e.g.,…
arXiv:2608.12389v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Cross-domain zero- or few-shot personalization aims to generate user-preferred responses in unseen conversational domains from only a handful of target-domain interactions. Existing adaptation methods struggle to calibrate update magnitude under sparse evidence and thus overfit,…
arXiv:2606.01896v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Generated (or synthetic) image data is increasingly used to augment or replace real training datasets when target imagery is scarce, expensive, or biased. For hand detection, particularly in occupational safety settings, public datasets mostly contain…
arXiv:2608.12395v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We describe Research Assistant, an internal LLM-based system developed at AstraZeneca to help scientists and clinicians explore biomedical questions across a broad range of data sources. The system provides a chat-style interface that brings together…
arXiv:2608.12921v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The performance of large language model (LLM)-based multi-agent systems (MAS) largely depends on effective communication topologies. Existing topology generation methods, however, typically learn communication topologies through black-box optimization driven solely by task-level rewards. While effective,…
arXiv:2608.12426v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models are increasingly deployed in settings that require simultaneous adherence to multiple explicit constraints – reasoning structure, safety boundaries, output schemas. Individual constraints are handled proficiently, but the compositional regime, where many must…
arXiv:2608.13167v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: When visual evidence is occluded or chaotic, models should abstain. In this paper, we show that Vision-Language Models (VLMs) can internally distinguish when abstention is required, but fail to express it anyway. We introduce TRAPSBench,…
