Controllable and Verifiable Process Data Synthesis for Process Reward Models

arXiv:2605.02395v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Process reward models (PRMs) rely on high-quality process supervision data, yet existing construction methods often provide limited control over error location, error type, and trajectory consistency. We propose a controllable and verifiable framework for synthesizing…

Harnessing Generalist Agents for Contextualized Time Series

arXiv:2606.05404v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Time series are often embedded in rich contexts that are essential for holistic modeling. Moreover, real-world practitioners often require end-to-end workflows for analyzing temporal dynamics, where widely studied tasks such as forecasting are only one…

Agents’ Last Exam

arXiv:2606.05405v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Recent AI systems have achieved strong results on a wide range of benchmarks, yet these gains have not translated into economically meaningful deployment across many professional domains. We argue that this gap is largely an…

ECI: Effective Contrastive Information to Evaluate Hard-Negatives

arXiv:2603.20990v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Hard-negative source selection for dense retrieval is usually decided only after fine-tuning and downstream evaluation. We propose Effective Contrastive Information (ECI), a training-free diagnostic that ranks candidate negative sources using frozen target-encoder embeddings. ECI is…

Extreme Region Policy Distillation

arXiv:2605.25582v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Reinforcement learning for large language models faces a fundamental trade-off between sample efficiency and asymptotic performance: strictly on-policy methods discard trajectories after a single update, while off-policy reuse introduces distribution mismatch that existing trust-region techniques…

A Motivational Architecture for Conversational AGI

arXiv:2606.05411v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Motivational architectures in cognitive AI have largely been designed for physical agents regulating bodily needs. Conversational agents operate in a different regime: their sensorimotor loop is linguistic, their environment is a user’s evolving mental state,…
