Procedural Environment Generation for Tool-Use Agents

arXiv:2506.11045v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Although the power of LLM tool-use agents has ignited a flurry of recent research in this area, the curation of tool-use training data remains an open problem$-$especially for online RL training. Existing approaches to synthetic…

Fisher information flow in artificial neural networks

arXiv:2509.02407v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: The estimation of continuous parameters from measured data plays a central role in many fields of physics. A key tool in understanding and improving such estimation processes is the concept of Fisher information, which quantifies…

Compact Rule-Based Classifier Learning via Gradient Descent

arXiv:2502.01375v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Rule-based models are essential for high-stakes decision-making due to their transparency and interpretability, but their discrete nature creates challenges for optimization and scalability. In this work, we present the Fuzzy Rule-based Reasoner (FRR), a novel…

Shilling Recommender Systems by Generating Side-feature-aware Fake User Profiles

arXiv:2509.17918v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Recommender systems (RS) greatly influence users’ consumption decisions, making them attractive targets for malicious shilling attacks that inject fake user profiles to manipulate recommendations. Existing shilling methods can generate effective and stealthy fake profiles when…

Projective Kolmogorov Arnold Neural Networks (P-KANs): Entropy-Driven Functional Space Discovery for Interpretable Machine Learning

arXiv:2509.20049v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Kolmogorov-Arnold Networks (KANs) relocate learnable nonlinearities from nodes to edges, demonstrating remarkable capabilities in scientific machine learning and interpretable modeling. However, current KAN implementations suffer from fundamental inefficiencies due to redundancy in high-dimensional spline parameter…

Learning from Observation: A Survey of Recent Advances

arXiv:2509.19379v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Imitation Learning (IL) algorithms offer an efficient way to train an agent by mimicking an expert’s behavior without requiring a reward function. IL algorithms often necessitate access to state and action information from expert demonstrations.…
