Query-based Submodular Data Selection for Efficient Instruction Tuning

arXiv:2611.04059v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: As large language models are fine-tuned for increasingly specialized tasks, their performance depends more on which training examples are selected than on how many. Given a large heterogeneous training pool and a small target set specifying the desired capability, targeted data selection aims to find a compact subset that maximizes downstream performance.

HybridSpec: Throughput-Aware Speculative Decoding for Hybrid GDN-MoE Models

arXiv:2611.04055v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In speculative decoding, parallel drafters such as DFlash make drafting cheap, so target verification dominates each round. A central choice is the verification length, the number of tokens that the target processes in each round. Verifying more draft tokens can accept more of them, but work after the first rejection is wasted.

Forgetting to Improve: Principled Data Removal in Active Learning

arXiv:2611.04054v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The uncertainty of a statistical model is most commonly factorized into an aleatoric and an epistemic part. This factorization changes how predictions are interpreted in downstream decision tasks. Importantly, except for the idealistic scenario with no model mismatch, the quantification is a characteristic of the model and not the data generating process.

Exploit or conform? How norm utility prompting changes the way LLMs use community beliefs

arXiv:2611.04048v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) serve both as tools for aiding human decision-making in everyday life and as models of human agents in experimental simulation studies. Alignment on prototypical social decisions -- such as whether to cooperate on a collective action -- therefore has immediate practical consequences for researchers and for society at large.

Recursa: Toward Recursively Self-Improving Foundation Model Systems

arXiv:2611.04035v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Foundation models in changing environments can encounter unfamiliar domain knowledge that their original training did not cover. However, new domains rarely provide large amounts of expert-created training data or reliable supervisory signals for further training.

ROCm InferaSim: Cut LLM Serving Trial Costs and Deploy the Best Configuration

arXiv:2611.04032v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Serving an LLM efficiently depends on the engine, how the model is split across GPUs, precision, scheduler settings, speculative decoding, KV-cache management, and prefill-decode disaggregation. The best configuration depends on the model, hardware, workload, and objective. Operators usually find it by trial and error.

Controlling Action-Head Co-Adaptation to VLM Representation Anisotropy

arXiv:2611.04006v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Modern learning systems increasingly combine pretrained models with downstream heads. Despite the growing importance of such modular designs, how the downstream model co-adapts to the geometry of pretrained representations remains relatively underexplored.

A Guideline-Grounded Multi-Agent Framework for Personalized Exercise Prescription from Clinical and Wearable Data

arXiv:2611.03983v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Translating population-level exercise guidance into individualized prescriptions requires integrating clinical and wearable data, including diagnoses, medications, functional limitations, and baseline activity, with condition-specific recommendations, a process difficult to scale beyond specialist rehabilitation settings.

What Is This Memory Useful For? Measuring Task-Conditioned Utility in Long-Term Agent Memory

arXiv:2611.03930v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: A stored experience may answer one future question and offer little help with another. We measure this task-conditioned utility rather than assigning each memory a single importance score. A task-blind writer stores a memory without seeing the later task; a frozen reader then answers that task with and without the memory, using identical filler.

ProofPaths: An AI Agent Framework for Assessing Student Reasoning

arXiv:2611.03882v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Students can use large language models to complete assignments, but a correct solution does not establish whether they understand the reasoning behind it. Individualized interviews can probe that understanding but require recurring staff effort.

Predictive gains, causal losses: why interventional competence cannot be learned from data alone

arXiv:2611.03861v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Retaining predictive gains can require persistent errors in a model's response to interventions. For deterministic predictors with finite second moments under squared-error loss, any observational advantage over the best predictor using only an outcome's direct causes requires dependence on other inputs, regardless of the learning rule.

Performance, Scalability and Maintenance: An Experimental Study of RPA vs. Autonomous Agents in the Healthcare Domain

arXiv:2611.03853v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Healthcare information systems are fragmented, and retrieving data from legacy web portals is a recurrent need. Robotic Process Automation (RPA) is deterministic but sensitive to interface changes, whereas autonomous agents based on large language models (Agent Process Automation, APA) promise adaptability at a higher computational cost.

Low-Rank Hierarchical Merging for Efficient Long-to-Short Reasoning

arXiv:2611.03834v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Long-to-Short (L2S) model merging seeks to combine the strong reasoning capability of long chain-of-thought models with the concise style of base models, but existing methods that rely on linear interpolation and first-order activation statistics fail to capture how the loss landscape responds to parameter displacement, leading to degraded accuracy on hard tasks.

VagueBench: Benchmarking the Robustness of Embodied Agents on Ambient Context Illusions

arXiv:2611.03765v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Embodied agents are increasingly deployed in open-world environments, yet current robustness evaluations remain biased toward hazardous instructions and jailbreak vulnerabilities. A more fundamental issue is largely overlooked: agents are rarely tested under semantically sufficient but contextually minimal instructions (i.e., common in real-world human communication)…

Reasoning is topologically simple

arXiv:2611.03739v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We formulate and investigate the hypothesis that reasoning text has simpler co-occurrence topology than non-reasoning text, and that higher-quality reasoning has simpler co-occurrence topology than lower-quality reasoning. We discuss and test applications to AI safety and AI evaluation.

From Logs to Faults: Reference-Free Fault Localization for Retrieval-Augmented Generation Pipelines

arXiv:2611.03725v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines are widely used for domain-specific question answering, yet locating faults remains manual and time-consuming. Fault localization is challenging because RAG pipelines consist of interdependent stages, where faults can propagate downstream, masking their origin, or remain undetected even when the final answer is correct.
