Memory management is vital for LLM agents to handle long-term interaction and personalization. Most research focuses on how to organize and use memory summary, but often overlooks the initial memory extraction stage. In this paper, we argue that existing summary-based methods have two major limitations based on the recurrent...
Probabilistic graphical models (PGMs) are widely used to discover latent structure in data, but their success hinges on selecting an appropriate model design. In practice, model specification is difficult and often requires iterative trial-and-error. This challenge arises because classical PGMs typically operate on individual...
Proactive AI writing assistants need to predict when users want drafting help, yet we lack empirical understanding of what drives preferences. Through a factorial vignette study with 50 participants making 750 pairwise comparisons, we find compositional effort dominates decisions ($ρ= 0.597$) while urgency shows no predictive power...
The field of learning analytics has made notable strides in automating the detection of complex learning processes in multimodal data. However, most advancements have focused on individualized problem-solving instead of collaborative, open-ended problem-solving, which may offer both affordances (richer data) and challenges (low...
As Earth-observing satellite constellations grow in size and capability, distributed onboard control offers a pathway to novel responses and time-sensitive measurements. However, deploying autonomy to satellites requires efficient computation and communication. This work addresses the challenge of scheduling observations for hundreds...
We develop a categorical foundation for belief propagation on factor graphs. We construct the free hypergraph category \(\Syn_Σ\) on a typed signature and prove its universal property, yielding compositional semantics via a unique functor to the matrix category \(\cat{Mat}_R\). Message-passing is formulated using a Grothendieck...
Large language models (LLMs) frequently generate factually incorrect or unsupported content, commonly referred to as hallucinations. Prior work has explored decoding strategies, retrieval augmentation, and supervised fine-tuning for hallucination detection, while recent studies show that in-context learning (ICL) can substantially...
Medical consultations are intrinsically speech-centric. However, most prior works focus on long-text-based interactions, which are cumbersome and patient-unfriendly. Recent advances in speech language models (SpeechLMs) have enabled more natural speech-based interaction, yet the scarcity of medical speech data and the inefficiency of...
Text-based conversational agents (CAs) are increasingly used in mental health, yet evaluation practices remain fragmented. We conducted a PRISMA-guided systematic review (May-June 2024) across ACM Digital Library, Scopus, and PsycINFO. From 613 records, 132 studies were included, with dual-coder extraction achieving substantial...
Machine-Generated Text (MGT) is becoming increasingly difficult to distinguish from Human-Written Text (HWT). This trend has exacerbated malicious activities such as fake news and online fraud. The generalization ability of fine-tuned detectors relies heavily on dataset quality, and simply expanding the sources of MGT may become...
Classical mathematical models used in the semantics of programming languages and computation rely on idealized abstractions such as infinite-precision real numbers, unbounded sets, and unrestricted computation. In contrast, concrete computation is inherently finite, operating under bounded precision, bounded memory, and explicit...
Large language models (LLMs) achieve strong performance on many tasks, but their progress remains uneven across languages and cultures, often reflecting values latent in English-centric training data. To enable practical cultural alignment, we propose a scalable approach that leverages national social studies curricula as a foundation...
Large language models (LLMs) offer unprecedented opportunities for analyzing social phenomena at scale. This paper demonstrates the value of LLMs in psychological measurement by (1) compiling the first large-scale dataset of election rumors on a niche alt-tech platform, (2) developing a multistage Rumor Detection Agent that leverages...
Online recruitment platforms have become the dominant channel for modern hiring, yet most platforms offer only basic filtering capabilities, such as job title, keyword, and salary range. This hinders comprehensive analysis of multi-attribute relationships and job market patterns across different scales. We present RecruitScope, a...
We present UniBiDex a unified teleoperation framework for robotic bimanual dexterous manipulation that supports both VRbased and leaderfollower input modalities UniBiDex enables realtime contactrich dualarm teleoperation by integrating heterogeneous input devices into a shared control stack with consistent kinematic treatment and...
In this paper, we study the dominating set problem in \emph{RDV graphs}, a graph class that lies between interval graphs and chordal graphs and is defined as the \textbf{v}ertex-intersection graphs of \textbf{d}ownward paths in a \textbf{r}ooted tree. It was shown in a previous paper that adjacency queries in an RDV graph can be...
Recent progress in large language model (LLM) agents has largely focused on embedding self-improvement mechanisms inside the agent or searching over many concurrent variants. While these approaches can raise aggregate scores, they often yield unstable and hard-to-audit improvement trajectories, making it difficult to guarantee...
We study leveraging adaptive retrieval to ensure sufficient "bridge" documents are retrieved for reasoning-intensive retrieval. Bridge documents are those that contribute to the reasoning process yet are not directly relevant to the initial query. While existing reasoning-based reranker pipelines attempt to surface these documents in...
Modeling human decision-making is central to applications such as recommendation, preference learning, and human-AI alignment. While many classic models assume context-independent choice behavior, a large body of behavioral research shows that preferences are often influenced by the composition of the choice set itself -- a phenomenon...
With the rapid development of text-to-image generation technology, accurately assessing the alignment between generated images and text prompts has become a critical challenge. Existing methods rely on Euclidean space metrics, neglecting the structured nature of semantic alignment, while lacking adaptive capabilities for different...
Peer review author responses often include commitments to add experiments, release code, or clarify content in the final paper. Yet, there is currently no systematic mechanism to ensure authors fulfill these promises. In this position paper, we present a large-scale audit of author commitments using large language models (LLMs) to...
Current role-playing agents (RPAs) are typically constructed by imitating surface-level behaviors, but this approach lacks internal cognitive consistency, often causing out-of-character errors in complex situations. To address this, we propose Character-R1, a framework designed to provide comprehensive verifiable reward signals for...
Identifying deceptive content like phishing emails demands sophisticated cognitive processes that combine pattern recognition, confidence assessment, and contextual analysis. This research examines how human cognition and machine learning models work together to distinguish phishing emails from legitimate ones. We employed three...
Vision-language models (VLMs) are increasingly used to make visual content accessible via text-based descriptions. In current systems, however, description specificity is often conflated with their length. We argue that these two concepts must be disentangled: descriptions can be concise yet dense with information, or lengthy yet...
Accurate segmentation of organs at risk in the head and neck is essential for radiation therapy, yet deep learning models often fail on small, complexly shaped organs. While hybrid architectures that combine different models show promise, they typically just concatenate features without exploiting the unique strengths of each...
