Beyond Handcrafted Security: Towards Self-Evolving Defense for LLM Agents

arXiv:2608.12977v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The expanding operational capabilities of large language model (LLM) agents introduce sophisticated security threats. Runtime defenses have emerged as an effective approach to mitigating these risks by integrating security mechanisms into the agent execution loop.…

@skills: Attention is all you have

arXiv:2608.12610v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: There are 56,804 public agent skills today, and teams write many more privately. The dominant delivery model is installation: once installed, a skill’s description remains in the system prompt, competing for fewer than 100 reliable…

Jagged Judges: Epistemic Stability Under Silence, Pressure, and Persistence

arXiv:2608.12645v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: LLM judges have become central infrastructure for model evaluations, online grading, and reward modeling. Judges are typically validated by accuracy on golden data, but accuracy says little about whether they are stable under re-prompting, challenge,…

Physics-informed distribution of relaxation times estimation and latent-space condition monitoring of solid oxide fuel and electrolysis cells from electrochemical impedance spectroscopy

arXiv:2608.13305v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Estimating the distribution of relaxation times (DRT) fromelectrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) is an ill-posed inverse problem that is highly sensitive to regularisation choices. We propose a physics-informed convolutional autoencoder that estimates DRT directly from EIS…

General Probabilities of Causation with Causal Knowledge

arXiv:2608.12657v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Probabilities of causation (PoCs) characterize individual causal responses that cannot be directly observed and therefore generally require partial identification. Tian and Pearl first derived theoretically sharp bounds for binary PoCs, including the probability of necessity…

Reduced Matrix Multiplication: Input-Adaptive Matrix-Product Reduction for LLM Inference

arXiv:2608.13426v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Transformer-based language models achieve strong performance but incur substantial inference cost due to repeated high-dimensional matrix multiplications. We propose Reduced Matrix Multiplication (RMM), a training-free, input-adaptive inference method that reduces Transformer matrix products by selecting…

Designing AI Pipelines for Decision-Ready ITSM Intelligence

arXiv:2608.12670v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: IT service management (ITSM) systems accumulate large volumes of heterogeneous ticket data that are difficult for sales and executive stakeholders to convert into actionable intelligence. This paper presents a sociotechnical AI pipeline, designed and evaluated…
