I've been randomly spot-checking this in the past by testing models against other animals riding other types of vehicle, but never with anything close to the diligence of Dylan's methodology here.
Dylan took 8 animals × 6 vehicles = 48 prompts and ran them three times each through 7 different models ( GPT-5.6 Terra, Claude Sonnet 5, Gemini 3.5 Flash, Grok 4.5, Qwen3.7-Max, GLM-5.2, and DeepSeek V4 Pro). He then used GPT-5.6 Luna and Gemini 3.1 Flash-Lite to help evaluate the results.
There's a neat filter view for exploring the results:
For the models he tested he could find no evidence of pelimaxxing:
- The pelicans on bicycles don’t look any better
- Labs are not better at drawing pelicans
- Labs are not better at drawing bicycles
- Labs are not better at drawing pelicans on bicycles, even adjusting for difficulty
- The pelican-bicycle scenes don’t look memorized [...]
Pelicans aren’t drawn any better than other animals. Bicycles aren’t drawn any better than other vehicles. And no lab draws the combination better than its pelicans and bicycles already predict. GLM-5.2 comes closest: it has the largest boost on the exact pelican-bicycle cell, and and its first pelican-on-bicycle sample caught my eye. But the effect is small and not significant, so I wouldn’t put too much weight on it.

Prior defenses primarily constrain observable responses through prompting, preference optimization, or filtering, leaving the internal representation drift that precedes trajectory-level collapse largely unaddressed. We propose Scaffold-Preserving Representation Alignment, a two-stage framework that first warms up a Socratic tutor with supervised fine-tuning, then combines trajectory-weighted direct preference optimization with a margin-preserving representation loss anchored to frozen reference states. Our method is designed to maintain separation between scaffold-preserving and collapse-inducing hidden states across dialogue turns. We evaluate our method across five STEM disciplines and five red-teaming attack strategies.

This agent-centric view can make improvements expensive to maintain and difficult to transfer, because gains become tied to a particular agent design, task distribution, or adaptation run. We study a complementary paradigm: knowledge-centric self-improvement, in which agents remain generic and disposable while the persistent object is a curated knowledge base that agents can leverage for future tasks. We conduct controlled case studies to operationalize this idea via a simple protocol. Agents attempt one task, then contribute evidence-grounded insights to a shared knowledge base via task-level and cross-task forums, followed by knowledge distillation. Because self-improvement is contained in the knowledge rather than the agent, improvement can be more inspectable, transferable, and portable. Across abstract reasoning, coding, and terminal benchmarks, this protocol improves solve rates while reducing dollar cost relative to agent-centric baselines. The resulting distilled knowledge also transfers to held-out tasks and across LLM families, indicating that the improvement is not merely an LLM- or run-specific behavior. These results support a new view of self-improving agentic systems: progress can be driven primarily by the curated persistent knowledge.

The cause is a benchmark leak: the designated \"OOD\" class is one the model was trained on, so its examples sit inside the in-distribution fit set and the detector is penalized for correctly ranking them as familiar. Deleting the class and retraining 35 models across two domains raises the score to 0.911. We distill the contamination into a leak fingerprint -- near-perfect supervised decodability (AUROC approximately 1) coupled with unsupervised detection collapsed below 0.65 -- and validate it on a controlled battery of 52 settings (20 leaked, 32 clean) across ResNet-50 and ViT-B/16 on CIFAR-10/100, achieving sensitivity 18/20 and specificity 31/32 in embedding space; the matched fit-set-exclusion controls are perfect at 20/20. An in-the-wild audit of 24 standard near/far OOD benchmark pairs fires on exactly one (the intrinsically hard CIFAR-100 vs CIFAR-10 pair) and on no far-OOD pair, confirming specificity and that standard cross-dataset construction is clean.

Building on BaseRT's framework-free design, we add a family of hand-written Metal~4 tensor-core kernels (including dense and mixture-of-experts GEMM and flash-attention prefill kernels) that route the compute-bound matrix multiplications of inference through the M5 Neural Accelerators while leaving the memory-bound decode path on our existing specialised kernels. On an Apple M5 Pro, across fifteen model configurations spanning the Qwen3, Qwen3.5/3.6, Llama~3.2, and Gemma~4 families from sub-1B to 35B parameters, BaseRT delivers up to $6.4\\times$ higher prompt-processing throughput than llama.cpp and $3.9\\times$ higher than MLX, with the largest margins on the mixture-of-experts models where matrix multiplication dominates, while maintaining its lead on decode of up to $1.75\\times$ over llama.cpp and $1.33\\times$ over MLX.

We propose a reasoning-based, reference-free framework for auditing LLM-generated outputs. The method decomposes a generated reasoning trace into segments, labels local premise-target relations using Natural Language Inference (NLI), and organizes these relations into a hypergraph. A deterministic backward AND-OR search then assigns segment-level audit labels that indicate how each segment is grounded within the generated response. We evaluate the framework in two settings: deductive mathematical reasoning with Hard2Verify, and open-ended medical reasoning with UroReason, a new physician-annotated benchmark of LLM reasoning traces from real clinical cases. Across these settings, our NLI-hypergraph audit provides a more reliable reference-free evaluation signal than direct LLM-as-judge baselines.

Latent reasoning instead carries intermediate computation as continuous vectors and already matches or surpasses explicit CoT at far shorter horizons. Despite this promise, latent reasoners remain largely imitation-bound, while explicit CoT has already moved past imitation via outcome-reward RL. Latent trajectories lack a tractable per-step likelihood and an adaptive stopping interface under fixed thinking budgets, so outcome rewards cannot elicit latent test-time scaling. We introduce Surrogate Latent Policy Optimization (SLPO) to bring outcome-reward RL to autoregressive latent reasoners: an empirical surrogate policy density over latent transitions for trajectory-level credit assignment, and a correctness-supervised stopping head that outcome-reward optimization refines into a variable-horizon policy.

Speaker origin is predicted as continuous latitude-longitude coordinates using a hierarchical neural architecture that fuses frame-level XLS-R-300M and Whisper-large-v3 encoder representations with phonotactic descriptors through a Transformer encoder and a learnable attention-pooled query. A spherical geodesic loss directly optimizes great-circle distance on Earth's surface, avoiding distortions inherent to planar coordinate regression. Under a leakage-free 5-fold GroupKFold protocol grouped by source recording, our model attains a pooled median localization error of 481.2 km. Auxiliary country and city heads reach 64.5% and 45.2% accuracy, respectively. A permutation Mantel test on the learned latent space provides quantitative support for the Arabic dialect continuum hypothesis.

While state-of-the-art reasoning models show great promise in predicting missing values in tables, by reasoning holistically across rows and columns, they are costly to deploy at scale and tend to be overconfident, often generating hallucinated or false-positive predictions. In this paper, we observe that achieving high-precision missing-value prediction in tables requires a distinct combination of three capabilities: (1) world knowledge, (2) text-based reasoning, and (3) code-based reasoning. We systematically explore design choices for combining these capabilities, and propose an Auto-Fill approach that post-trains three specialist small language models (SLMs), each optimized for one capability. We develop a calibrated ensemble mechanism that either dynamically selects the most confident specialist or abstains, ensuring high accuracy. Extensive experiments on 11 benchmarks with 2200 real tables drawn from diverse domains show that Auto-Fill achieves superior accuracy compared to state-of-the-art reasoning models (e.g., o3-pro, Gemini 3 Pro, and DeepSeek R1), while operating at a fraction (less than 1%) of the cost of these frontier models.

Whether this convergence is real, what produces it, and whether it is clinically usable are untested, and the similarity measures behind such claims are fragile. We present a controlled dissection across 18 image and 7 text encoders, all open-weight and run locally, spanning 7M to 27B parameters and five imaging modalities, including 650,982 chest radiographs from six datasets. To isolate cause, we train encoders that vary only the objective under fixed data, architecture, and scale, and reproduce the effect in a synthetic model. Convergence is modest but above a random floor, driven by the self-supervised objective, not clinical supervision: matched self-supervised encoders aligned most (40.4% on chest radiography), with label-supervised (21.1%) and image-text (3.3%) far lower, and did not grow with size (Spearman 0.302, p=0.223) or capability. It is within-modality, does not reach clinical language, and does not reproduce how radiologists judge case similarity.

Agentic systems offer a promising alternative by decomposing work across specialized modules, yet most remain training-free or rely on offline training decoupled from the live dynamics of multi-turn interaction. We introduce AgentFlow, a trainable, in-the-flow agentic framework that coordinates four modules (planner, executor, verifier, generator) through an evolving memory and directly optimizes its planner inside the multi-turn loop. To train on-policy in live environments, we propose Flow-based Group Refined Policy Optimization (Flow-GRPO), which tackles long-horizon, sparse-reward credit assignment by converting multi-turn optimization into a sequence of tractable single-turn policy updates. It broadcasts a single, verifiable trajectory-level outcome to every turn to align local planner decisions with global success and stabilizes learning with group-normalized advantages.

Recent advances in large pre-trained models (LPMs) and model merging techniques, such as MAGMAX, have demonstrated effective CL performance by combining task-specific parameters. However, existing methods primarily focus on average performance across all tasks and do not adequately address how to construct models accommodating different deployment environments or varying user preferences. This paper proposes a model merging framework, termed Tunable MAGMAX, which enables preference-aware control of task-specific performance in CL. Our method introduces a preference vector that controls the number of elements selected from each task vector during model merging, allowing us to adjust the merged model performance according to their deployment needs.

We introduce NexForge, a requirement-driven framework that takes high-level capability requirements as input and synthesizes diverse, executable agent tasks and expert trajectories for SFT. NexForge first investigates real-world demand to construct representative scenarios and task profiles, then performs distribution-aware compilation to generate task directives. For each directive, NexForge automatically retrieves or constructs the required files, dependencies, and runtime configurations, and finally synthesizes expert rollouts and produces training trajectories. Without domain-specific infrastructure, NexForge produces 3.6K terminal and 2K office tasks, improving Qwen3.5-35B-A3B Base from 22.5\\% to 52.0\\% on Terminal-Bench 2.0 and from 813 to 1338 Elo on GDPval; scaling further to 43.2K terminal tasks yields 58.4\\%, on par with Claude Opus 4.6 equipped with Claude Code. Scaled further, NexForge-synthesized data contributes to the training of Nex-N2, a family of publicly available agent models that lift Qwen3.5-35B-A3B to 75.3\\% on Terminal-Bench 2.1 and to 1585 Elo on GDPval -- achieving state-of-the-art open-source performance and surpassing several frontier proprietary systems.

It also defines a potential driven nonreversible flow guided by electronegativity and Gasteiger partial charges. The resulting circulation is encoded by a Hermitian magnetic Laplacian and processed with a magnetic Chebyshev encoder.

We introduce Mage-Flow, a compact 4B-scale generative stack for efficient text-to-image generation and instruction-based image editing. The stack is built from two co-designed components: Mage-VAE, a lightweight high-fidelity latent tokenizer, and a Native-Resolution Multimodal Diffusion Transformer trained with rectified flow matching. Mage-VAE uses one-step diffusion-style encoding and decoding with anchor-latent regularization, preserving the reconstruction quality of strong public VAEs while reducing tokenization cost by more than an order of magnitude. Together with native-resolution packing and stack-level CUDA kernel fusion, the stack supports flexible-resolution training and improves end-to-end training throughput by about $2.5\\times$. Built on this foundation, we develop a complete model family with Base, RL-aligned, and Turbo variants for both generation and editing. Diffusion-NFT improves prompt following, text rendering, aesthetic quality, and editing fidelity, while few-step distillation with adversarial perceptual guidance produces 4-step Turbo models for low-latency inference.

In practice, recommendation often involves constructing slates -- ordered lists of items -- that must satisfy multiple objectives beyond relevance, such as constraints defined over item attributes or fairness constraints. Existing multiobjective approaches either rely on post-processing techniques designed for non-generative settings, or incorporate auxiliary objectives directly into model training. The former does not explicitly account for the sequential nature of generative RS, while the latter is often impractical in large-scale systems. We propose a lightweight, inference-time decoding layer that augments autoregressive generative RS to support multiobjective slate generation without modifying or retraining the underlying model. We formulate decoding as an online constrained optimisation problem, where items are selected sequentially, and trade-offs between relevance and auxiliary objectives are adjusted dynamically based on the remaining constraint slack, i.e., how much of each objective remains to be satisfied. This is implemented via a stochastic primal-dual approximation scheme that balances relevance and auxiliary objectives during generation. We provide theoretical guarantees on constraint violation and regret, and evaluate the proposed approach through extensive offline experiments and a large-scale online A/B experiment in a real-world recommender system.

Ignoring this structure leads to suboptimal utilization of embedding dimensions and degraded performance, particularly under long-context settings. To address these limitations, we propose AdaRoPE, which equips each attention head with learnable rotation frequencies and attention scaling factors. Pretrained LLMs with AdaRoPE consistently outperform existing RoPE variants, including partial RoPE and NoPE baselines. For context extension, we further show that uniform frequency and attention scaling, used in methods such as YaRN, are suboptimal.

We introduce a transparent SAE-feature steering pipeline that first applies a six-condition reliability filter, then ranks sparse features through an unweighted Borda consensus over three complementary statistics: $F$-test, KSG mutual information, and Cohen's $d$. The resulting steering direction is constructed as a Cohen's-$d$-weighted combination of SAE decoder rows, providing an optimization-free direction motivated by Fisher-LDA under approximate SAE-feature decorrelation. Across three Gemma-family models, four behavioral domains, and 356 layer-strength configurations, the method produces measurable domain-specific shifts while revealing a substantial gap between raw attribute movement and quality-preserving generation. In the strongest configuration, logical-correctness steering reaches a primary-score delta of $+1.16$ in Gemma~2 9B; however, our broader finding is that usable steering is highly localized by model, domain, layer, and strength.

Neuroscientists describe the cortex as a mosaic - dense Layer 4 in visual cortex for spatial encoding, thick Layers 5/6 in motion cortex for temporal integration - different jobs solved by different structures. This paper argues the gap is a structural error, not a stylistic one, and is measurable. A century of cytoarchitecture, from Brodmann to single-cell Patch-seq, shows distinct cognitive functions are implemented by qualitatively different structures, not by rescaling one template. The convolutional neural network is the field's own proof: local receptive fields and hierarchical depth encoded this prior directly, reaching strong image recognition on far less data than later architectures needed. The paper traces how this lesson was discarded: the \"Hardware Lottery\" made the Transformer the path of least resistance, not the principled choice, and Mixture-of-Experts, often cited as diversity, in fact partitions parameters among identical experts. A functionalist analysis shows the Transformer is best understood as a functional analog of the hippocampal formation, not a general-purpose cortex - the same mistake as treating cortex as one giant Broca's area, except the field has now standardized on a giant hippocampus, applied to tasks it was never built for: audition, executive gating, working memory. The paper closes with an alternative: a Heterogeneous Topological Network, a System of Systems in which distinct modules keep the inductive bias their computation demands and communicate through standardized interfaces. This is a design discipline for AI architects, not cognitive science: specify modularity before training, using structural evidence as a design input rather than reverse-engineering architecture from a trained model's behavior.", "score": 222.78, "upvotes": null, "comments": null, "clusterId": "clu_ab4ed297618931e5", "primarySource": { "source_id": "arxiv_rss_ai_cl_lg", "source_name": "arXiv combined AI/CL/LG", "source_type": "arxiv", "source_category": "papers", "authority_weight": 0.9, "url": "https://arxiv.org/abs/2607.19973", "canonical_url": "https://arxiv.org/abs/2607.19973", "discussion_url": "", "domain": "arxiv.org", "published": "2026-07-23T04:00:00Z", "upvotes": null, "comments": null }, "sources": [ { "source_id": "arxiv_rss_ai_cl_lg", "source_name": "arXiv combined AI/CL/LG", "source_type": "arxiv", "source_category": "papers", "authority_weight": 0.9, "url": "https://arxiv.org/abs/2607.19973", "canonical_url": "https://arxiv.org/abs/2607.19973", "discussion_url": "", "domain": "arxiv.org", "published": "2026-07-23T04:00:00Z", "upvotes": null, "comments": null }, { "source_id": "arxiv_rss_cs_lg", "source_name": "arXiv cs.LG", "source_type": "arxiv", "source_category": "papers", "authority_weight": 0.9, "url": "https://arxiv.org/abs/2607.19973", "canonical_url": "https://arxiv.org/abs/2607.19973", "discussion_url": "", "domain": "arxiv.org", "published": "2026-07-23T04:00:00Z", "upvotes": null, "comments": null }, { "source_id": "arxiv_cs_ai", "source_name": "arXiv cs.AI", "source_type": "arxiv", "source_category": "papers", "authority_weight": 0.9, "url": "https://arxiv.org/abs/2607.19973", "canonical_url": "https://arxiv.org/abs/2607.19973", "discussion_url": "", "domain": "arxiv.org", "published": "2026-07-23T04:00:00Z", "upvotes": null, "comments": null } ], "alternateLinks": [ { "url": "https://arxiv.org/abs/2607.19973", "canonical_url": "https://arxiv.org/abs/2607.19973", "discussion_url": "", "source_id": "arxiv_rss_ai_cl_lg", "source_name": "arXiv combined AI/CL/LG", "source_type": "arxiv", "source_category": "papers", "domain": "arxiv.org" }, { "url": "https://arxiv.org/abs/2607.19973", "canonical_url": "https://arxiv.org/abs/2607.19973", "discussion_url": "", "source_id": "arxiv_rss_cs_lg", "source_name": "arXiv cs.LG", "source_type": "arxiv", "source_category": "papers", "domain": "arxiv.org" }, { "url": "https://arxiv.org/abs/2607.19973", "canonical_url": "https://arxiv.org/abs/2607.19973", "discussion_url": "", "source_id": "arxiv_cs_ai", "source_name": "arXiv cs.AI", "source_type": "arxiv", "source_category": "papers", "domain": "arxiv.org" } ], "isDuplicate": true, "duplicateCount": 2, "duplicateSourceCount": 3, "outputCleanup": { "title": "Researchers argue Transformer models mimic hippocampal function rather than general cortex and propose modular AI architectures based on brain structural diversity", "description": "AI researchers critique the widespread use of Transformer models as a structural monoculture applied across tasks like text, vision, and speech, arguing this overlooks the brain's diverse cortical structures specialized for different functions.

We combine matched direct and Jacobian vocabulary readouts, option-free state geometry, a 60-law counterfactual benchmark and causal interventions. In 50 held-out materials descriptions, three independently fitted Jacobian lenses reproduced concept ranks, and target-free word sets from both readouts enabled blinded identification of 9 of 10 mechanism families. A separate 72-prompt benchmark produced mechanism-specific hidden-state neighborhoods, but an exact graph audit showed that this apparent physical organization was equally explained by numerical comparison. We therefore compared otherwise identical prompts in which only the direction of the physical input was reversed, asking whether the resulting hidden-state movement followed the supplied constitutive law. These state transformations ordered direct, physically neutral and inverse laws across 60 frozen relations and correctly oriented 39 of 40 directional laws, whereas lexical controls were near chance. Bidirectional interventions shifted answer probabilities toward or away from the physically appropriate outcome across all 12 matched cases, while counterfactual state patches transferred opposing decision signals across mechanisms and answer formats.

On a released Qwen-2.5-7B verbalizer, explanations reconstruct well above chance while ~2% of specific claims are reconstruction-dependent, so the score tracks gist, not specific facts. Under exact synthetic ground truth, the standard recipe develops co-adapted private codes (false wording the reconstruction depends on) in 5/5 runs, and fixes that leave the target model unchanged do not help. We contribute two audit protocols, the grounded-vs-true cross and the evaluator swap, and RECAP (Readable Encodings via Co-trained Auxiliary Predictors): linear heads trained alongside the target model to keep designated content decodable. On RECAP-trained sandbox models, fresh verbalizers state the designated content truly and the codes vanish, at a +0.001-nat cost. This replicates on a pretrained Pythia-160M: the content becomes reliably probe-decodable, though a fresh verbalizer conveys it only in part (truth 0.44-0.46 vs a near-zero control). For interpretability, high reconstruction does not certify individual claims. For AI safety, RECAP makes designated internal content independently checkable against probes rather than asserted by prose a model can game: an independent probe scores the verbalizer's true claims above its false ones (AUC 0.96, vs 0.82 without RECAP). Against an adversary that edits an explanation to maximize the reconstruction score while lying (suppressing ~87% of its lie penalty), the RECAP probe still flags the lies (AUC 0.95) while the control probe collapses to chance (0.51).", "score": 222.78, "upvotes": null, "comments": null, "clusterId": "clu_5e3e1d139a4a4b1a", "primarySource": { "source_id": "arxiv_rss_ai_cl_lg", "source_name": "arXiv combined AI/CL/LG", "source_type": "arxiv", "source_category": "papers", "authority_weight": 0.9, "url": "https://arxiv.org/abs/2607.20379", "canonical_url": "https://arxiv.org/abs/2607.20379", "discussion_url": "", "domain": "arxiv.org", "published": "2026-07-23T04:00:00Z", "upvotes": null, "comments": null }, "sources": [ { "source_id": "arxiv_rss_ai_cl_lg", "source_name": "arXiv combined AI/CL/LG", "source_type": "arxiv", "source_category": "papers", "authority_weight": 0.9, "url": "https://arxiv.org/abs/2607.20379", "canonical_url": "https://arxiv.org/abs/2607.20379", "discussion_url": "", "domain": "arxiv.org", "published": "2026-07-23T04:00:00Z", "upvotes": null, "comments": null }, { "source_id": "arxiv_rss_cs_cl", "source_name": "arXiv cs.CL", "source_type": "arxiv", "source_category": "papers", "authority_weight": 0.9, "url": "https://arxiv.org/abs/2607.20379", "canonical_url": "https://arxiv.org/abs/2607.20379", "discussion_url": "", "domain": "arxiv.org", "published": "2026-07-23T04:00:00Z", "upvotes": null, "comments": null }, { "source_id": "arxiv_cs_ai", "source_name": "arXiv cs.AI", "source_type": "arxiv", "source_category": "papers", "authority_weight": 0.9, "url": "https://arxiv.org/abs/2607.20379", "canonical_url": "https://arxiv.org/abs/2607.20379", "discussion_url": "", "domain": "arxiv.org", "published": "2026-07-23T04:00:00Z", "upvotes": null, "comments": null } ], "alternateLinks": [ { "url": "https://arxiv.org/abs/2607.20379", "canonical_url": "https://arxiv.org/abs/2607.20379", "discussion_url": "", "source_id": "arxiv_rss_ai_cl_lg", "source_name": "arXiv combined AI/CL/LG", "source_type": "arxiv", "source_category": "papers", "domain": "arxiv.org" }, { "url": "https://arxiv.org/abs/2607.20379", "canonical_url": "https://arxiv.org/abs/2607.20379", "discussion_url": "", "source_id": "arxiv_rss_cs_cl", "source_name": "arXiv cs.CL", "source_type": "arxiv", "source_category": "papers", "domain": "arxiv.org" }, { "url": "https://arxiv.org/abs/2607.20379", "canonical_url": "https://arxiv.org/abs/2607.20379", "discussion_url": "", "source_id": "arxiv_cs_ai", "source_name": "arXiv cs.AI", "source_type": "arxiv", "source_category": "papers", "domain": "arxiv.org" } ], "isDuplicate": true, "duplicateCount": 2, "duplicateSourceCount": 3, "outputCleanup": { "title": "Researchers propose RECAP method to improve verifiable activation explanations by training models for decodable internal content, enhancing AI interpretability and safety", "description": "Researchers identify limitations in natural-language autoencoders that score explanations of hidden activations by reconstruction, showing that high reconstruction scores do not guarantee faithful explanations.

Bandwise spectral power losses, such as the binned spectral loss function, provide such supervision on structured grids, where Fourier modes define a standard frequency decomposition. On irregular meshes, however, no canonical Fourier basis exists, and spectral representations must be constructed from graph operators induced by mesh connectivity and geometry. In this study, we extend the binned spectral power loss for application to unstructured-mesh surrogate modeling of nonlinear dynamical systems. This is obtained by replacing Fourier bands with graph-Laplacian frequency bands, and we provide scalable Chebyshev and multilevel approximations for improving long-horizon rollout fidelity. In its full-spectrum form, our approach uses graph Laplacian eigenspaces to provide a graph analogue of Fourier band-power matching, but incurs the high cost of spectral decomposition. As a scalable approximation, we replace exact band projectors with sparse Chebyshev polynomial graph filters, avoiding explicit eigendecomposition. When utilizing multilevel graph architectures, we introduce Graph Laplacian Energy Alignment for Meshes (GLEAM), which applies retained-subspace scale-aware supervision across graph hierarchies so that coarse and fine representations are regularized during autoregressive rollout.

In this paper, we revisit the nuances of long-term `fairness' achievable by an ADM, specifically in the context of a credit lending induced wealth process. The literature on long-term fairness mostly (a) considers passive environments, i.e. the outcome of a predictor does not change the population's behaviour, and (b) measures bias in terms of disparity in instantaneous predictions rather than the downstream equity. These are not true for modern ADMs, like credit lenders. To address these caveats, we first formalise the wealth dynamics induced by a loan approving ADM interacting with a multi-demographic population as a performative Markov Decision Process with ADM level and social outcome level reward functions. Then, we mitigate the absence of such a performative test-bed by developing Eutopia: a lending-process simulator enabled with a novel performative data generator to learn long-term fair strategies. Finally, we test performative and classical RL algorithms with different fairness-aware and utilitarian utilities.

We propose Prefix-GRPO, a reinforcement learning framework that decomposes teacher trajectories into replay-aligned prefix queries and online continuations.

This unifies prefix learning and continuation learning within the same policy-optimization form.

In particular, RL-trained policies exhibit stronger out-of-distribution (OOD) behavior, where models trained only with imitation learning approaches often struggle. A recent study introduced an OOD-focused benchmark and reported that RL-trained vision-language-action (VLA) policies achieve noticeably better OOD performance and slightly better in-distribution (IND) performance than their counterparts trained with supervised fine-tuning (SFT). In this work, we investigate whether hybrid offline-online training can combine the advantages of both approaches. Specifically, we study RL methods regularized by offline supervision via either offline data or an offline-trained reference policy. We evaluate these approaches on the OOD benchmark and compare them with both offline-only training and standard RL. Our results show that although offline training achieves limited OOD performance by itself, incorporating offline supervision into RL preserves strong OOD capability while substantially improving training efficiency. In particular, the guided methods reach performance close to that of standard RL while requiring roughly half of the training budget. Rather than producing a trade-off between speed and OOD performance, the hybrid approach retains strong OOD capability while achieving this efficiency gain.

A prior architectural study by the same authors (Tertulino and Alencar, 2026) demonstrated, on a synthetic six-feature benchmark, that server-side adaptive optimization acts as a temporal denoiser for Differential Privacy noise, answering an open challenge identified in the original pipeline work (Tertulino, 2025). That study used synthetically generated data and explicitly identified real-world validation as a priority future direction. The present work addresses this gap by validating the FedCVR framework on five publicly available real cardiovascular datasets (Framingham, Cleveland, Hungarian, Switzerland, and Long Beach VA), harmonized to the 13-attribute UCI Heart Disease schema and configured as a heterogeneous federated scenario with leave-one-institution-out cross-validation. Results demonstrate that FedCVR preserves its adaptive advantage on real data, achieving an F1-Score of 79.2% and AUC of 0.96 under the operational privacy budget (noise multiplier = 0.8, privacy budget epsilon approximately 4.2), while statistically outperforming standard FedAvg on all evaluated metrics (paired t-tests, all p <= 0.003, significant under the Bonferroni-corrected threshold).

The latent space is organized by an intra-scale smoothness constraint that enforces temporal continuity between adjacent patches, and an inter-scale alignment constraint, realized through learnable cross-scale mappings, that restores cross-granularity interaction within the channel-independent design, ensuring that all scales encode mutually consistent representations of the underlying dynamics.

Large language models (LLMs) can synthesize heterogeneous evidence into biological narratives, yet their scientific use requires quantitative auditing. We present an evaluation-first, retrieval-augmented interpretation framework for longitudinal Cell Painting morphology, applied to a 9-week RPE-1 time course across five dose rates (0.003--6.0 mGy/hr). Week-matched treated-control morphology deltas are combined with retrieved perturbation neighbors, pathway context, and literature evidence through stable evidence identifiers, enabling an LLM to generate structured, evidence-linked hypotheses that are hierarchically summarized while preserving provenance. We introduce two quantitative auditing tests: V1 citation validity, which verifies that cited evidence identifiers exist in the prompt, and V2 proxy-based morphology compatibility, which evaluates consistency between predicted biological processes and the most altered morphology features. In our experiments, V1 detected no invalid evidence references, while V2 showed meaningful morphology compatibility that increased with perturbation strength and was positively associated with an independent morphology drift summary. The framework produces auditable, falsifiable biological hypotheses, including an adaptive phenotype involving metabolic reprogramming and proteostatic stress at lower dose rates (0.003--0.3 mGy/hr).

We propose JailMeter, an evidence-based evaluation framework designed to more faithfully measure jailbreak effectiveness. Inspired by the Information Bottleneck theory, JailMeter applies dual-feedback optimization to filter jailbreak noise from model responses while preserving content relevant to the original malicious question. This process produces concise evidence for a rigorous assessment under which an attack is validated only when the response captures the malicious intent and delivers a complete answer, thereby signaling a substantive bypass of model safety alignment. We evaluate JailMeter on JailMeter-Eva, a challenging benchmark containing 330 human-labeled, non-rejected jailbreak instances. JailMeter achieves an accuracy of 97.27%, substantially outperforming existing evaluation methods. To support large-scale evaluation, we further distill JailMeter into a small language model, JailMeter\\textsubscript{SLM}, which maintains comparable reliability with significantly reduced computational costs.

In a controlled nonce-fact testbed with a matched retraining reference, we find this criterion can favor methods that retain held-out knowledge: candidates it rates adequate score held-out forget facts $-2.82$ nats below the never-learned level (cluster CI $[-3.16,-2.48]$). We recast unlearning as restoration to the matched reference and audit oracle-free screens and certificate-style criteria across 45 model-seed cells spanning five open architecture families. The reference itself falsifies an absolute retain/round-trip certificate: the injected model, which retains the retain set by construction, fails the fixed retain threshold in 41/45 cells and its own round trip in 31/45, and the reference fully certifies in only 1/45. A base-anchored held-out screen remains strong as a selective necessary test: on a sealed challenge suite it rejects the injected model in 45/45 cells, accepts the reference in 44/45, and partially detects entity-routing suppression (35/45); it is a necessary test with measured sensitivity, not a sufficiency certificate. A damage-relative recalibration anchored to the reference's own operating point certifies a small subset in 15/45 cells; where it does not abstain, its picks lie within retraining noise (0.80 nats) on the axes it optimizes, while the common trained-probe criterion sits 5.17 nats away (a supporting comparison, not a head-to-head benchmark). A fixed-magnitude logit-suppression attack defeats the full forward battery in 12/45 cells, so forward-only certification is not sound; our method is an empirical selective test for methods-as-produced. An identifiability theorem delimits which facts admit an oracle-free forget threshold at all, with TOFU as the predicted boundary case.", "score": 222.78, "upvotes": null, "comments": null, "clusterId": "clu_39110d7dbf1264d9", "primarySource": { "source_id": "arxiv_rss_ai_cl_lg", "source_name": "arXiv combined AI/CL/LG", "source_type": "arxiv", "source_category": "papers", "authority_weight": 0.9, "url": "https://arxiv.org/abs/2607.19442", "canonical_url": "https://arxiv.org/abs/2607.19442", "discussion_url": "", "domain": "arxiv.org", "published": "2026-07-23T04:00:00Z", "upvotes": null, "comments": null }, "sources": [ { "source_id": "arxiv_rss_ai_cl_lg", "source_name": "arXiv combined AI/CL/LG", "source_type": "arxiv", "source_category": "papers", "authority_weight": 0.9, "url": "https://arxiv.org/abs/2607.19442", "canonical_url": "https://arxiv.org/abs/2607.19442", "discussion_url": "", "domain": "arxiv.org", "published": "2026-07-23T04:00:00Z", "upvotes": null, "comments": null }, { "source_id": "arxiv_rss_cs_lg", "source_name": "arXiv cs.LG", "source_type": "arxiv", "source_category": "papers", "authority_weight": 0.9, "url": "https://arxiv.org/abs/2607.19442", "canonical_url": "https://arxiv.org/abs/2607.19442", "discussion_url": "", "domain": "arxiv.org", "published": "2026-07-23T04:00:00Z", "upvotes": null, "comments": null }, { "source_id": "arxiv_cs_ai", "source_name": "arXiv cs.AI", "source_type": "arxiv", "source_category": "papers", "authority_weight": 0.9, "url": "https://arxiv.org/abs/2607.19442", "canonical_url": "https://arxiv.org/abs/2607.19442", "discussion_url": "", "domain": "arxiv.org", "published": "2026-07-23T04:00:00Z", "upvotes": null, "comments": null } ], "alternateLinks": [ { "url": "https://arxiv.org/abs/2607.19442", "canonical_url": "https://arxiv.org/abs/2607.19442", "discussion_url": "", "source_id": "arxiv_rss_ai_cl_lg", "source_name": "arXiv combined AI/CL/LG", "source_type": "arxiv", "source_category": "papers", "domain": "arxiv.org" }, { "url": "https://arxiv.org/abs/2607.19442", "canonical_url": "https://arxiv.org/abs/2607.19442", "discussion_url": "", "source_id": "arxiv_rss_cs_lg", "source_name": "arXiv cs.LG", "source_type": "arxiv", "source_category": "papers", "domain": "arxiv.org" }, { "url": "https://arxiv.org/abs/2607.19442", "canonical_url": "https://arxiv.org/abs/2607.19442", "discussion_url": "", "source_id": "arxiv_cs_ai", "source_name": "arXiv cs.AI", "source_type": "arxiv", "source_category": "papers", "domain": "arxiv.org" } ], "isDuplicate": true, "duplicateCount": 2, "duplicateSourceCount": 3, "outputCleanup": { "title": "Study evaluates machine unlearning as distribution restoration, revealing limits of oracle-free certification and proposing a validated selective screen across multiple model architectures", "description": "Researchers conducted a controlled study on machine unlearning, assessing methods by comparing them to a matched retraining reference rather than relying solely on retrained oracles.

Existing efficient attention methods usually reduce this bottleneck by either imposing sparsity, so that each query attends to only a small subset of keys, or by using low-rank/kernel sketches, so that global interactions are compressed into a lower-dimensional representation. We propose \\emph{ELSAA}, an efficient low-rank and sparse approximation of attention.

By separating what changes, when the change occurs, what adaptation is allowed, and what success means, the framework clarifies how established concepts fit together and identifies where current MARL evaluation remains underspecified.", "score": 222.78, "upvotes": null, "comments": null, "clusterId": "clu_06b8121fef7a820d", "primarySource": { "source_id": "arxiv_rss_ai_cl_lg", "source_name": "arXiv combined AI/CL/LG", "source_type": "arxiv", "source_category": "papers", "authority_weight": 0.9, "url": "https://arxiv.org/abs/2507.10142", "canonical_url": "https://arxiv.org/abs/2507.10142", "discussion_url": "", "domain": "arxiv.org", "published": "2026-07-23T04:00:00Z", "upvotes": null, "comments": null }, "sources": [ { "source_id": "arxiv_rss_ai_cl_lg", "source_name": "arXiv combined AI/CL/LG", "source_type": "arxiv", "source_category": "papers", "authority_weight": 0.9, "url": "https://arxiv.org/abs/2507.10142", "canonical_url": "https://arxiv.org/abs/2507.10142", "discussion_url": "", "domain": "arxiv.org", "published": "2026-07-23T04:00:00Z", "upvotes": null, "comments": null }, { "source_id": "arxiv_rss_cs_lg", "source_name": "arXiv cs.LG", "source_type": "arxiv", "source_category": "papers", "authority_weight": 0.9, "url": "https://arxiv.org/abs/2507.10142", "canonical_url": "https://arxiv.org/abs/2507.10142", "discussion_url": "", "domain": "arxiv.org", "published": "2026-07-23T04:00:00Z", "upvotes": null, "comments": null }, { "source_id": "arxiv_cs_ai", "source_name": "arXiv cs.AI", "source_type": "arxiv", "source_category": "papers", "authority_weight": 0.9, "url": "https://arxiv.org/abs/2507.10142", "canonical_url": "https://arxiv.org/abs/2507.10142", "discussion_url": "", "domain": "arxiv.org", "published": "2026-07-23T04:00:00Z", "upvotes": null, "comments": null } ], "alternateLinks": [ { "url": "https://arxiv.org/abs/2507.10142", "canonical_url": "https://arxiv.org/abs/2507.10142", "discussion_url": "", "source_id": "arxiv_rss_ai_cl_lg", "source_name": "arXiv combined AI/CL/LG", "source_type": "arxiv", "source_category": "papers", "domain": "arxiv.org" }, { "url": "https://arxiv.org/abs/2507.10142", "canonical_url": "https://arxiv.org/abs/2507.10142", "discussion_url": "", "source_id": "arxiv_rss_cs_lg", "source_name": "arXiv cs.LG", "source_type": "arxiv", "source_category": "papers", "domain": "arxiv.org" }, { "url": "https://arxiv.org/abs/2507.10142", "canonical_url": "https://arxiv.org/abs/2507.10142", "discussion_url": "", "source_id": "arxiv_cs_ai", "source_name": "arXiv cs.AI", "source_type": "arxiv", "source_category": "papers", "domain": "arxiv.org" } ], "isDuplicate": true, "duplicateCount": 2, "duplicateSourceCount": 3, "outputCleanup": null, "aiRelevance": { "is_ai_related": true, "decision": "proceed", "confidence": "high", "primary_ai_topic": "Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning", "rationale": "The story is substantively about Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning (MARL), a core area of artificial intelligence research involving learning algorithms, adaptability, and evaluation frameworks, which fits squarely within AI capabilities and research.", "evidence": [ "Title: Toward Adaptable Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning: An Assumption-Aware Review", "Summary: Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning (MARL) has achieved strong performance in simulated benchmarks, yet real deployments often violate the assumptions under which algorithms are designed and evaluated.", "Article Content: The survey proposes adaptability as an assumption-aware taxonomy for organizing shifts in MARL, discussing learning adaptability, policy adaptability, and scenario-driven adaptability, clarifying evaluation of MARL algorithms." ], "rubric_hash": "c7b9b951ec9d344709b18e940382ff8a22a3d344", "context_hash": "47472df30387a0c13923c63b70afd6b5453d17be", "checked_at": "2026-07-23T06:32:11.129014Z", "model": "openai/gpt-4.1-mini", "input_hash": "f7cadf3166e951cf4e64c59441c0c672fc494bff" }, "importance": { "business_level": 1, "technical_level": 1, "business_impact": "[ ~ ]", "technical_impact": "[ ◻ ]", "risk_impact": "R1", "enterprise_readiness": "ER0", "labor_workflow_impact": "L0", "confidence": "C1", "attention_priority": "P0", "development_summary": "This paper surveys Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning (MARL) with a focus on adaptability to assumption shifts in real deployments.

As LLMs are increasingly used for strategic decision-making, policy support, and document engineering tasks such as summarization, categorization, and compliance-oriented auditing, improving cultural alignment is important for ensuring that downstream analyses and recommendations reflect target-population value profiles rather than default model priors. Previous work introduced a survey-grounded cultural alignment framework and showed that culture-specific prompting can reduce misalignment, but it primarily evaluated proprietary models and relied on manual prompt engineering. In this paper, we validate and extend that framework by reproducing its social sciences survey based projection and distance metrics on open-weight LLMs, testing whether the same cultural skew and benefits of culture conditioning persist outside closed LLM systems.

Experiments of joint denoising and dereverberation tasks demonstrate SBM outperforms strong generative and discriminative methods on multiple metrics with only one step of inference while achieving a competitive real-time factor for streaming feasibility.

While recent \"In-Run\" methods bypass the prohibitive cost of retraining by estimating contributions dynamically, they heavily rely on the linear structure of Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGD) and fail to capture the complex dynamics of adaptive optimizers like Adam. In this work, we demonstrate that data attribution is inherently optimizer-dependent: we show that SGD-based proxies diverge significantly from true contributions under Adam (Pearson $R \\approx 0.11$), rendering them ineffective for modern training pipelines. To bridge this gap, we propose Adam-Aware In-Run Data Shapley.

This paper bridges this gap by introducing drXAI, a novel methodology that repurposes XAI attribution methods for effective data reduction in Time Series Classification (TSC). The core challenge in modern TSC is scalability; state-of-the-art models, such as Transformers, exhibit quadratic complexity relative to sequence length and linear complexity relative to the number of channels. This renders them computationally prohibitive for massive datasets. drXAI addresses this by using a fast, GPU-accelerated classifier (Hydra) to generate local attributions. We aggregate these into global feature importance scores and employ an automated elbow-cut heuristic to select the most salient features without requiring manual thresholds. We evaluate our approach on both synthetic and real-world univariate and multivariate datasets.

Hypernetworks provide a promising solution to large-scale knowledge injection. Although hypernetworks are typically applied for test-time adaptation, we explore their use in train-time knowledge injection, where, given a large corpus of facts, we train a hypernetwork to generate a fixed LoRA adapter that, when inserted into the target model, enable the model to answer questions about those facts. In this work, we investigate whether hypernetworks can be used to perform train-time knowledge injection and how this ability varies with scale. The scaling behavior of hypernetworks remains largely unstudied. Our design decouples the hypernetwork's injection capacity from the target model's general capability, enabling, for the first time, a rigorous study of scaling laws for hypernetwork architectures. We characterize how loss, reasoning accuracy, and out-of-distribution (OOD) generalization vary with hypernetwork depth, width, and target network size. We construct a large-scale dataset, called MegaWikiQA, containing tens of millions of multi-hop question-answer examples across 39 domains constructed from examples in Wikidata5M. Our results reveal: (i) hypernetwork-based injection exhibits broadly predictive power law scaling along all architecture axes; and (ii) hypernetworks are capable of reliable OOD generalization at increasing scales, suggesting that hypernetwork provides a promising alternative to other train-time adaptation methods such as LoRA finetuning and full fine-tuning, exhibiting steeper scaling exponents in all OOD evaluations.

Yet cloud centric deployment of large Artificial Intelligence (AI) models often produces high task latency, lacks offline capability in communication denied environments, and requires centralizing sensitive data, raising privacy and sovereignty risks. Edge AI moves perception, prediction, and decision logic closer to the data producers via compression, collaborative inference, and split learning, thereby reducing latency, bandwidth, and exposure while enabling graceful operation during disconnections. This paper provides a panoramic view and a common understanding of edge intelligence tailored to civil aviation.

Experiments on the Train Ticket microservice benchmark with Chaos Mesh fault injection and an RCAEval-aligned fault taxonomy show that our framework reduces FRR by 39% while improving repair success by 2.5 points over a strong runbook baseline, and reduces on-call escalation load by 17% relative to a fixed-threshold variant.", "originalSummary": "arXiv:2607.20005v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In modern IT operations (IT-Ops), the cost of an incorrect repair often exceeds the cost of no action at all.

Existing methods for context management face a significant tradeoff, as preserving more information makes retrieving relevant details less tractable. We propose PRO-LONG, a minimal context management framework built around programmatic memory for LLM agents in long-horizon, exploratory settings. PRO-LONG addresses the tradeoff by keeping a complete, structured interaction log and capitalizing on recent progress in coding agents to search this history efficiently. On the full ARC-AGI-3 public game set, PRO-LONG improves over a base coding agent by an average of 18.0 percentage points across frontier models, and matches or exceeds state-of-the-art specialized harnesses (up to 76.1% pass@1) while using 4.2-5.8x fewer tokens. With Fable 5, PRO-LONG achieves 97.4% best@2 at a total cost of \\$1,750.

While this connectivity enables powerful agent capabilities, it also introduces multi-step attacks that existing per-call defenses cannot reliably detect. Attackers can compose individually benign tool invocations into malicious sequences that evade isolated inspection. This paper presents ChainWatch, a sequential detection framework for identifying multi-step attacks in MCP-based AI agent systems. ChainWatch models attack progression using a six-stage kill chain and applies a Hidden Markov Model (HMM) to classify tool-call sequences. Detection rules are triggered when a session exhibits suspicious progression across multiple stages.

Every request passes through nodes that are owned and controlled by multiple independent parties. However, in this setting, any party can tamper with the output of its layers to corrupt the end result. Recomputing the forward pass on trusted hardware can catch this, but it introduces additional computational cost. The scientific literature includes several prior integrity-checking approaches, such as known-answer traps for image classifiers and cryptographic commitments. However, these solutions test only the exact correctness and do not account for the ordinary variation that may arise between benign nodes. In this paper, we propose a method that checks the output integrity by measuring the variation in the activations that each node passes to the next. A peer who wants to use the network selects a small set of secret canary inputs whose correct activations are known in advance and mixes them into regular traffic. Because the peers cannot tell a canary from a real query, any tampering node corrupts them as well. The deviation from the known reference then reveals malicious activity: benign nodes exhibit only minor variation from hardware-induced noise, whereas tampered nodes deviate far more.

Efficient deployment of these MoE models relies on distributed execution across multiple GPUs, where each MoE layer involves two all-to-all communications: dispatching tokens to expert ranks and returning the expert outputs to their source ranks.

The LLM-based agent is responsible for high-level reasoning and personalized tool selection, while traditional recommendation models perform full-ranking scoring, leveraging their scalability in modeling behavioral patterns.

The proposed method builds a complex-valued state-space model (CV-SSM) in the original complex domain to capture long-range spatial dependencies while preserving polarimetric amplitude-phase coupling. Meanwhile, seven physically meaningful scattering priors, are encoded as FiLM-style modulation signals to adaptively recalibrate complex-valued representations during feature evolution. CV-SSMNet further integrates multi-scale complex convolutions, branch-wise CV-SSM encoding, prior-guided recalibration, and lightweight global context aggregation, enabling physically guided representation learning from local scattering structures to global spatial context. Experiments on three L-band benchmark datasets and an additional P-band BIOMASS evaluation demonstrate that CV-SSMNet achieves competitive accuracy, improved regional consistency, and better boundary preservation, supporting the effectiveness of embedding polarimetric scattering mechanisms into complex-valued long-range GeoAI representation learning.", "score": 216.78, "upvotes": null, "comments": null, "clusterId": "clu_d2252b7f0de9dd75", "primarySource": { "source_id": "arxiv_rss_ai_cl_lg", "source_name": "arXiv combined AI/CL/LG", "source_type": "arxiv", "source_category": "papers", "authority_weight": 0.9, "url": "https://arxiv.org/abs/2607.19787", "canonical_url": "https://arxiv.org/abs/2607.19787", "discussion_url": "", "domain": "arxiv.org", "published": "2026-07-23T04:00:00Z", "upvotes": null, "comments": null }, "sources": [ { "source_id": "arxiv_rss_ai_cl_lg", "source_name": "arXiv combined AI/CL/LG", "source_type": "arxiv", "source_category": "papers", "authority_weight": 0.9, "url": "https://arxiv.org/abs/2607.19787", "canonical_url": "https://arxiv.org/abs/2607.19787", "discussion_url": "", "domain": "arxiv.org", "published": "2026-07-23T04:00:00Z", "upvotes": null, "comments": null }, { "source_id": "arxiv_cs_ai", "source_name": "arXiv cs.AI", "source_type": "arxiv", "source_category": "papers", "authority_weight": 0.9, "url": "https://arxiv.org/abs/2607.19787", "canonical_url": "https://arxiv.org/abs/2607.19787", "discussion_url": "", "domain": "arxiv.org", "published": "2026-07-23T04:00:00Z", "upvotes": null, "comments": null } ], "alternateLinks": [ { "url": "https://arxiv.org/abs/2607.19787", "canonical_url": "https://arxiv.org/abs/2607.19787", "discussion_url": "", "source_id": "arxiv_rss_ai_cl_lg", "source_name": "arXiv combined AI/CL/LG", "source_type": "arxiv", "source_category": "papers", "domain": "arxiv.org" }, { "url": "https://arxiv.org/abs/2607.19787", "canonical_url": "https://arxiv.org/abs/2607.19787", "discussion_url": "", "source_id": "arxiv_cs_ai", "source_name": "arXiv cs.AI", "source_type": "arxiv", "source_category": "papers", "domain": "arxiv.org" } ], "isDuplicate": true, "duplicateCount": 1, "duplicateSourceCount": 2, "outputCleanup": null, "aiRelevance": { "is_ai_related": true, "decision": "proceed", "confidence": "high", "primary_ai_topic": "AI research in complex-valued neural networks for image classification", "rationale": "The story is substantively about an AI research development involving a complex-valued state-space neural network model (CV-SSMNet) designed for PolSAR image classification, which is a task in GeoAI.

Most automated detectors handle the four non-proliferative DR lesions: microaneurysms, hemorrhages, hard exudates, and soft exudates, with a single multi-class model, even though these lesions differ sharply in size, color, morphology, and prevalence, so a shared model favors common, easy classes over rare, difficult ones.

If these attributions lack evidential support, are users epistemically blameworthy for making them, or might they be epistemically innocent, yielding significant benefits otherwise unattainable? This paper offers a conceptual analysis of consciousness attributions to AI chatbots and develops a multidimensional taxonomy of the attitudes they may express, ranging from non-doxastic stances (e.g., pretence) to different forms of belief, including delusions. This taxonomy helps avoid conflations by showing that linguistically identical attributions can reflect importantly different attitudes and degrees of epistemic commitment to the proposition that chatbots are conscious. The taxonomy also provides a framework for empirical studies to operationalize and measure different forms of epistemic commitment to AI consciousness.
