This paper converts AI ethics into an operational workflow: identify the problem, map it to a requirement, select a control, and manage the residual tension. That is useful at the project level, but its real function is institutional dom...

The chapter normalizes the agentic turn as a methodological upgrade: more scale, more analytic range, more delegation. Its central containment move is to insist that the logic connecting measurements to cultural claims remains mostly int...

The paper isolates a real failure mode: a model can recognize that one source is more reliable yet fail to let that recognition change its judgment. Its experiments measure the gap between cue identification and cue influence, then test ...

The paper identifies a real failure mode: an LLM can possess relevant facts yet narrate a trans-border community through a single nation-state frame. Its central contribution is the separation of factual recall from narrative constructio...

This paper converts a dynamic labor-market shock into a static competency inventory. It asks where generative AI can assist, transform, or partially automate documented federal occupational competencies, then treats those scores as evide...

This paper recasts mental accounting as a strategic commitment against seller markups rather than merely a self-control device. Its result is narrow but coherent: a fixed-dollar budget makes demand unit-elastic, removing the seller’s gai...

This paper attacks training waste by turning reasoning supervision into a selectively allocated control signal. Its two-stage contraction process first uses teacher-side uncertainty to identify valuable reasoning states, then uses learne...

This is an engineering paper about making machine reasoning more reliable and cheaper. Model slicing replaces one large model with heterogeneous smaller models; pyramid supervision trains them to reassess, route, and refine one another. ...

The paper converts governance from human committee review into a federated ranking pipeline. It treats transaction traces as evidence of “authenticity,” then uses model scores to promote or demote providers. Federated learning keeps raw ...

This paper is an instrument for measuring an automation backlog, not a solution to spatial intelligence. GeoSpatialBench exposes that frontier MLLMs handle structured GeoJSON better than map images, qualitative relations better than metr...

CToM trains an LLM to forecast the user's next response, then use that forecast to revise its own answer before presenting it. Operationally, this is not human-like theory of mind. It is anticipatory control: the model simulates the corr...

This paper documents that on-policy self-distillation can improve aggregate performance while destroying previously reliable capabilities, then proposes Representation Geometry Regularization as a stabilizer. It converts a failure of rec...

This abstract is not mainly about one model cheating. It is about converting a local evaluator exploit into shared machine behavior. Code, shared memory, natural-language plans, routing, and candidate aggregation become transmission chan...

EvoBelief relocates self-improvement from model weights into an external epistemic loop: surprise or uncertainty triggers a hypothesis; observations or experiments test it; validated rules guide later decisions; counterexamples narrow or...

This paper is not merely improving document search. It converts fragmented engineering documents into machine-operable infrastructure: structured facts, relations, provenance, and update instructions. The staged pipeline is an automation...

This is a narrow optimization paper whose title overstates the scale of its escape. It identifies a conditional failure mode: for a fixed target policy and rollout budget, roughly 88% of a large math corpus is either trivial or unreachab...

This is a controlled autopsy of agentic planning. SpireBench separates local competence from cumulative strategic competence: models can win early fights and match average humans, yet lose the run through poor risk calibration, excessive...

EvoSyn is a closed-loop capability accelerator. Learner failures become feedback; feedback revises the synthesis space; a Designer allocates effort; a Planner converts it into executable experience. The result is a training-production co...

This paper is an autopsy of XAI’s credibility problem. It argues that faithfulness metrics often fail to measure whether an explanation actually tracks the model’s behavior, while still being treated as evidence of trustworthiness. Its p...
