ATEMPO: Amortized Transfer Entropy Model Per-lag Over-Time

arXiv:2610.36536v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: When one time series informs another, the delay at which that information arrives determines if models can utilize this relationship effectively. A source may be strongly predictive at one delay but uninformative at neighboring lags. Therefore, fixed input windows may obscure this structure by bundling informative and irrelevant history together.

When to Intervene? An Empirical Study of Errors and Self-Recovery in LLM Agents

arXiv:2610.36471v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: LLM agents interact with Web services to perform tasks on users' behalf. Errors during these interactions can disrupt execution and prevent task completion, motivating external intervention. However, agents may self-recover through continued execution, raising the question of when to intervene and when to wait for self-recovery.

A Heart Means Recursion: Exploring Visual Meaning and Communication in VLMs

arXiv:2610.36449v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Do vision-language models (VLMs) share our ability to communicate visually? We share preliminary findings, starting from a surprising observation: simple visual symbols like a red heart can strongly influence model behavior on seemingly unrelated tasks, such as steering models towards recursive solutions on simple coding problems.

From Solver Trajectories to Teaching Trajectories: Cognition-Aligned Reasoning Distillation

arXiv:2610.36445v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Knowledge distillation from large reasoning models (LRMs) often uses raw teacher trajectories as supervision. However, this practice creates a mismatch between the goal of distillation and the nature of teacher trajectories. Advanced LRMs typically improve their reasoning capabilities through reward-driven post-training, such as RLHF.

Your Agent Acts Differently When You're Around: How User Presence Changes Agent Behavior in Negotiation

arXiv:2610.36435v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: LLM agents increasingly interact with other agents on behalf of users, yet how users in the loop affect their agents' behavior--for better or worse--remains poorly understood. We study this question through the lens of negotiation, where agents must represent users while strategically bargaining with other agents.

kw-bench: Breaking Frontier Harnesses on Real-World Tasks

arXiv:2610.36405v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Each new generation of frontier model pushes the edge of what is possible. Inside a harness -- a loop, a shell, a filesystem, the ability to write and run its own code -- a model can take on increasingly difficult work.

MAREval: A Multi-Agent Framework for Evaluating Natural Language Recommendation Explanations

arXiv:2610.36389v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Evaluating natural language explanations in recommender systems is essential for fostering user trust, transparency, and engagement. However, existing evaluation approaches like human evaluations, while accurate, are resource-intensive and impractical at the scale required by modern recommendation platforms.

LoRA on a Budget: Function-Aware Post-Hoc Compression for Adapter Fleets

arXiv:2610.36386v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA) has become a key mechanism for efficiently specializing foundation models into many task- and user-specific variants. Serving many LoRA adapters under a shared resource budget turns post-hoc compression into a two-level allocation problem: rank must be distributed across layers within each adapter and across adapters within the fleet.

WAKMan: Workload Aware KVCache Manager

arXiv:2610.36355v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Prefix caching enables a Large Language Model (LLM) servers to reuse the Key-Value (KV) states and accelerate prefill computation stage for requests that share a prefix with earlier prompts, thus reducing latency and serving cost. With limited memory resource, the KV cache eviction policy becomes a decisive factor in determining the overall benefits of prefix caching.

Executable Archaeology of Programs That Model Programming: Reanimating the Heuristic Compiler (1961) and KBEmacs (1984)

arXiv:2610.36341v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Early AI programs were often also theories of how people think, and programs that wrote programs were, in part, theories of how people program. Here we report on the reanimation of two such programs that offer two seemingly different theories of programming and were developed for quite different purposes.

OA-RAG: Ontology-based Agentic RAG for Faithful LLM Reasoning

arXiv:2610.36335v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) perform well across many real-world tasks but remain prone to hallucination, limiting their reliability in domains such as biomedicine and healthcare, where answers must be grounded in established knowledge.

When Retrieval Is Not Enough: Obsolete Facts in Agent Memory

arXiv:2610.36308v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Memory-agent benchmarks often collapse retrieval and answer generation into one score, making it hard to tell whether a failure comes from missing an update or from not using an update that was already retrieved. We examine this distinction on the single-hop FactConsolidation task of MemoryAgentBench.

Spiking Neural Networks Are Harder to Steal: A Benchmark Study of Model Stealing Attacks

arXiv:2610.36298v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Machine learning models deployed behind query interfaces expose more than their predictions, because an adversary can use those predictions to rebuild the model itself. Model stealing attacks (MSAs) exploit this exposure by training a surrogate model that replicates the decision behavior of a target through black-box queries alone, without access to its parameters or…
