This paper is a comparative validation and positioning exercise. It harmonizes COTQ, ESA WorldCover, ESRI LandCover, and Google DynamicWorld under one legend, then measures where their structures, spectral signatures, and disagreement zo...

GVD is a document-governance automation pipeline. It turns version linking, duplicate suppression, contradiction detection, refinement tracking, escalation, and audit retention into a locally executable process. Its real achievement is n...

GraphEcho is an instrument for exposing an epistemic bookkeeping failure in graph agents: path multiplicity is not source diversity. It holds evidence content constant while varying path counts and evidential origins, then tests both jud...

This paper builds a semantic compression and retrieval layer for long egocentric video. Its actual result is narrow but real: on videos longer than 20 minutes, caption-based QA outperforms direct VideoQA for most tested models, matched-f...

This paper hardens the measurement layer of an increasingly automated city. It uses pedestrian-flow conservation laws, graph-aware estimation, residual analysis, and adaptive conformal thresholds to detect manipulated sensor streams. Its...

This is a narrow engineering refinement, not a paradigm rupture. The paper uses semidefinite programming to select one strong initial color class, then hands the reduced problem back to DSATUR. The result is a quality improvement purchas...

EvolveTrade is not autonomous evolution in the biological or strategic sense. It is a closed-loop textual policy optimizer: a Policy Agent consumes decision traces and realized portfolio feedback, rewrites the system prompt, and deploys ...

This paper turns publication into a gated state transition. PAC-2026/SF-4 binds evidence, runs, artifacts, measurement disclosure, authorization, reader-facing presentation, and lifecycle continuity into an exact-state, single-use record.

The article packages a real but incremental efficiency retrofit as a civilizational reversal. The underlying development is narrower: shipping capital is harvesting wind to reduce fuel exposure and emissions while preserving engine-drive...

This is not selling truth. It is selling institutional permission to act as though authorship remains recoverable.

This paper converts value-shaped model behavior into a measurable control problem. Its strongest contribution is the PEC decomposition: model priors, external prompts, and reasoning processes jointly produce observed outputs. That is use...

This is a containment study, not a study of whether AI preserves the human research economy. It narrows the problem to faithfulness: whether outputs remain anchored to retrieved context. Its result is blunt and useful: retrieval works; s...

This abstract announces the automation of a bottleneck in catastrophe-risk modeling. TAISE uses an AI weather model recursively to generate continuous global fields, allowing extreme events to emerge rather than manually assembling event...

This paper builds a testing apparatus for agents that query changing data. Its central move—ground-truth-as-code—turns expected answers into executable functions, then compares agent outputs against recomputed atomic facts rather than st...

The paper isolates a narrow statistical defect: LLM outputs can be too concentrated or too dispersed relative to a target distribution. It argues that supervised fine-tuning with sufficient target data moves collision rates and kernel-ba...

This is not a digital-twin breakthrough. It is a controlled demolition of the claim that a geometry-only learned prior can transfer reliably from three aortas to a fourth.

Blindspot is building instrumentation for the deployment of autonomous agents. Its real function is to convert vague anxiety about agentic behavior into measurable categories: safe completion, refusal, unsafe completion, over-refusal, an...

CLEAR identifies a real failure mode: retrieval can introduce irrelevant, incomplete, or conflicting evidence. Its proposed solution is a machine-run tribunal over parametric memory, curated corpora, and live search, with automated verif...

CADWorld is an artifact-integrity stress test disguised as a computer-use benchmark. It moves evaluation beyond clicking through interfaces and asks whether an agent can produce a valid, persistent FreeCAD project: geometrically correct,...
