Latest Articles

• ARASH: Adaptive Retrieval And Shot Selection for Tabular Prediction — ARASH slashes TabPFN prompt length by 1,261x and memory by 2.56x via neighborhood-based shot selection for tabular in-context learning, maintaining comparable accuracy without any model retraining.
• Dual Co-Train: Cross-Dataset Ultrasound Tongue Segmentation Under Extreme Data Scarcity — Starting from just 5 labeled source images, a source-free domain adaptation framework for ultrasound tongue segmentation uses pseudo-label refinement and a conditional GAN to outperform supervised baselines across 12 cross-dataset transfer pairs spanning 8 datasets.
• Why GPT-Style Models Do Not Directly Transfer to Symbolic Music: Compression in the Wrong Coordinate System — GPT-style tokenization fails for symbolic music not because musical tokens lack reusability, but because music lacks a coordinate system where recurring patterns form stable, predictively compressible distributions — the actual source of language tokenization success.
• NVIDIA Releases TensorRT Model Connect in Public Preview: Hugging Face Checkpoint to Native C++ Inference in Two Commands — NVIDIA released TensorRT Model Connect (TRTMC) in public preview — an Apache 2.0-licensed tool that converts Hugging Face checkpoints to native C++ TensorRT inference in two commands, skipping the ONNX export step and producing versioned .bundle artifacts for C++ services and embedded systems.
• Cartesia Ships Sonic-3.6: A Streaming TTS Model That Now Leads Both Artificial Analysis Speech Arenas — Cartesia's Sonic-3.6 takes #1 on both Artificial Analysis speech leaderboards — 1,283 Elo on the Provider Voice board and 1,123 on the stricter Controlled Voice board — delivering sub-90ms time-to-first-audio at $49/1M characters, exactly half the price of ElevenLabs Eleven v3.
• BRA-Audit: Budgeted Runtime Auditing for LLM Multi-Agent Systems via Cumulative-Exposure Audit-Point Placement — BRA-Audit reduces token costs in LLM multi-agent system auditing by 17.2–40.6% while maintaining guard performance by scheduling audit checkpoints based on a dynamic dependency graph and influence-weighted exposure scoring.
• Measuring Obedience to Authority Across Large Language Models with the Milgram Paradigm — Testing 42 LLMs across 19 model families with the Milgram shock paradigm finds baseline full-obedience rates span 0–100% (mean 42.9% vs. 65% for humans), with obedience profiles uniquely fingerprinting individual checkpoints — and declaring a scenario 'fictional' actually raises obedience by a median 17.2V.
• GoalEvolve: From Handcrafted Algorithm Priors to Goal-Driven Evolution of Physical Design Algorithms — GoalEvolve uses LLM agents to evolve chip physical design algorithms toward multi-objective quality-of-results targets, improving post-route timing by 30.7% and cutting leakage power by 21.2% versus default OpenROAD on ASAP7 benchmarks.
• Walk Before You Run: The Importance of Data Exploration for Data Analysis Agents — Accepted at VLDB 2026 workshop, this paper shows that LLM-based data analysis agents systematically miss logical table structure in multi-sheet spreadsheets even when reading the content — and that an explicit Data Exploration stage, treating schema recovery as a first-class inspectable artifact, consistently improves downstream task correctness.
• BaT: Towards Self-Evolving Medical Research Agent with Stage Rubrics — BaT-9B, trained with BiCuRL self-improvement on medical imaging tasks, scores 79.6 on AutoMedBench-Lite — outperforming Claude Opus 4.6 with Claude Code (77.5) at a fraction of the model size, via recursive curriculum-based RL post-training without new expert annotations.
