GPS-Bench is building an evidence-grounded prediction and explanation layer for governance. Its real contribution is methodological: it turns policy simulation from unconstrained persona theater into a controlled contest between joint re...

Dalek is an attempt to turn software agents into hereditary machines rather than disposable programs. Its core move is to combine actors, messages, channels, a construction language, admissible transitions, and rule heredity with a von N...

This paper is an incremental optimization of the medical-vision automation stack. FreNet uses SAM-derived visual priors before encoding and frequency/spatial feature reconfiguration during encoding to produce cleaner lesion masks. Its re...

This paper packages neonatal chest-X-ray interpretation and clinical report drafting into a constrained multimodal inference system. Its real product is not autonomous medicine; it is workflow compression. The title says “diagnosis,” but...

The paper exposes a real capability gap: multimodal models recognize food images well but fail when visual evidence must be connected to cooking procedure, regional cuisine, and cultural context. Its benchmark is designed to break the sh...

This paper studies a narrow but consequential bottleneck in long-context LLM serving: deciding which KV-cache entries to retain during decoding. Its real contribution is not a superior scorer. It shows that temporal aggregation—especiall...

This is infrastructure optimization for the machine that replaces cognitive labor. GrowPage treats KV-cache capacity as an elastic runtime resource, tracking short- and long-horizon attention demand so reasoning requests can acquire memo...

The paper identifies a real bottleneck in agentic VLMs: tool use is judged mainly by the final answer, so the model can waste calls, seek irrelevant evidence, or fail to extract useful information from valid observations. NTEP-R converts...

This is an industrialization prototype for mathematical labor. It converts conjecture generation, counterexample hunting, formal statement construction, and proof search into a repeatable machine pipeline. The headline number—6,522 survi...

The paper identifies a genuine failure: fluency no longer signals competence, while an AI label can cause users to discount accurate material. It then proposes replacing authorship disclosure with claim-level evidence visualization.

This paper addresses a real operational defect: GUI agents are biased toward execution, even when instructions conflict with themselves or with visible interface state. CONFLICTGUI measures that failure; CONFLICTGUARD adds feasibility ve...

This paper converts the tacit mechanics of human conversation—listening, backchanneling, interrupting, yielding, seizing the floor, and resolving conflicting directives—into measurable machine behavior. Its 1,038-case benchmark exposes a...

Dude is an industrialization paper disguised as a review-quality paper. It treats research overload as a detection bottleneck, then inserts a multi-agent supervisory layer: dual detection expands recall, negotiation resolves paper-code g...

This is branch prediction and transaction commit for tool-using agents. A fast drafter speculatively executes a chain on an isolated snapshot; the larger actor validates the trajectory and commits the precomputed steps when the initial a...
