Gen AI in Proof-based Math Courses: A Pilot Study

arXiv:2509.13570v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: With the rapid rise of generative AI in higher education and the unreliability of current AI detection tools, developing policies that encourage student learning and critical thinking has become increasingly important. This study examines student…

Apertus: Democratizing Open and Compliant LLMs for Global Language Environments

arXiv:2509.14233v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We present Apertus, a fully open suite of large language models (LLMs) designed to address two systemic shortcomings in today’s open model ecosystem: data compliance and multilingual representation. Unlike many prior models that release weights…

Programmable Cognitive Bias in Social Agents

arXiv:2509.13588v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This paper introduces CoBRA, a novel toolkit for systematically specifying agent behavior in LLM-based social simulation. We found that conventional approaches that specify agent behaviors through implicit natural language descriptions cannot yield consistent behaviors across…

Caught in the Act: a mechanistic approach to detecting deception

arXiv:2508.19505v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Sophisticated instrumentation for AI systems might have indicators that signal misalignment from human values, not unlike a “check engine” light in cars. One such indicator of misalignment is deceptiveness in generated responses. Future AI instrumentation…

Database-Augmented Query Representation for Information Retrieval

arXiv:2406.16013v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Information retrieval models that aim to search for documents relevant to a query have shown multiple successes, which have been applied to diverse tasks. Yet, the query from the user is oftentimes short, which challenges…
