Partition, Prompt, Aggregate: Statistical Self-Consistency in Language Models

In-context learning is commonly interpreted as a form of conditional inference, in which the prompt specifies a context and the model's output is treated as an estimate of the corresponding conditional distribution. I...

RoboTTT: Context Scaling for Robot Policies

Recent robot foundation models operate with single-step or short-history visuomotor context. We introduce Test-Time-Training Robot Policies (RoboTTT), a robot model and training recipe that scale visuomotor context to...

teLLMe Why (Ain't Nothing but a Jam): Exploratory Causal Analysis of Urban Driving Data

Traffic agencies now have access to large volumes of video-derived data for studying safety and congestion. Most of these data are observational and collected without interventions, which makes causal questions such a...

Bridge Evidence: Static Retrieval Utility Does Not Predict Causal Utility in Multi-Step Agentic Search

Retrieval systems are trained and evaluated on a static idea of usefulness: hand a document and a question to a reader model, see whether the answer improves, and score the document accordingly. The idea holds up when...

AutoSynthesis: An agentic system for automated meta-analysis

Evidence synthesis is crucial for turning primary research into reliable knowledge for science, medicine, education, and policy. Yet, quantitative evidence synthesis remains largely manual and difficult to scale. Here...

Mutable Low-Rank Sketches for Retrain-Free Recommendation

A common bottleneck in two-stage recommendation is embedding staleness: when a user rates a new item, their embedding remains fixed until the next retrain cycle. We propose mutable sketches, which store each user's pr...

Beyond the Leaderboard: Design Lessons for Trustworthy Multimodal VQA

Healthcare multimodal AI must combine visual and textual evidence while remaining reliable and interpretable. Using MediaEval Medico 2025 as a retrospective GI endoscopy case study, we analyze design choices across ni...

Language Identification via Compositional Data Analysis: A Linear-Time Classifier Based on Log-Ratio Geometry

Language identification is commonly addressed using either neural architectures or statistical n-gram models. Neural approaches typically require substantial computational resources, whereas classical frequency-based...

In-Place Tokenizer Expansion for Pre-trained LLMs

A tokenizer fixed at the start of pre-training allocates vocabulary in proportion to the pre-training corpus, reflecting the deployment priorities at that time. When those priorities shift, languages added later are s...

When Words Are Safe But Actions Kill: Probing Physical Danger Beyond Text Safety in Hidden-State Risk Space

Large language models (LLMs) increasingly serve as high-level planners for embodied agents, where linguistically benign instructions can become unsafe once grounded in the physical world. We study whether this physica...
