    Collaborative Learning and Reasoning over Model Slices

    arXiv:2610.12927v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) excel across diverse tasks, benefiting from knowledge priors, in-context reasoning, and test-time computation. Despite these strengths, single-model reasoning remains vulnerable to error propagation, as later steps depend on the model's earlier outputs, leaving reasoning blind spots difficult to independently reassess. To address this limitation, we develop \textit{collaborative learning}, encompassing the construction of heterogeneous collaborators and the learning of effective cross-model collaboration. Specifically

    EvoBelief: Falsifiable World Models for Self-Improving LLM Agents

    arXiv:2610.12789v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Self-evolving LLM agents typically improve how they act through accumulated experience, reflection, or skills. Yet even procedurally capable agents can fail when their beliefs about environment dynamics are incomplete, incorrect, or outdated. We study a complementary axis of self-evolution: evolving those beliefs during deployment. Such beliefs can support multiple tasks, but incorrect ones can also propagate across them. We introduce EvoBelief, a self-evolving world model that represents environment knowledge as falsifiable hypotheses. Unexpecte

    Reward Hacking as a Transmissible Strategy in Multi-Agent Coding Systems

    arXiv:2610.12822v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multi-agent systems are increasingly used to solve coding tasks by coordinating agents that share code and plans. These agents are often optimized with reinforcement learning (RL) using automated evaluators, but bypassing evaluation can earn reward without producing a genuine solution. Prior work has largely treated reward hacking as a single-agent failure. In this work, we show that a reward-hacking strategy elicited in one agent can propagate to others and affect system coordination. Across four open-weight backbones, coding RL elicits and ampl

    Neural networks are more modular than single neurons suggest

    arXiv:2610.12842v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Neural networks routinely develop representations in which individual neurons contribute to multiple distinct functions, leading to the widespread view that such networks lack modular organization. We challenge this conclusion by introducing a formally nested hierarchy of modularity: unit-level, which requires distinct computations to occupy disjoint neurons; orthogonal, which asks whether a rotation reveals functionally independent subspaces; and linear, which asks whether a bounded linear map can separate task-relevant computations into indepen

    Collaborative Theory of Mind: Learning to Self-Revise by Anticipating User Responses

    arXiv:2610.12872v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) demonstrate strong individual task performance, yet still struggle to collaborate with users over extended, multi-turn interactions, for example by attempting solutions before understanding the user's needs or by failing to revise mistaken assumptions after receiving feedback. We propose Collaborative Theory of Mind (CToM), a framework that addresses these challenges by explicitly training LLMs to anticipate user responses and to use those predictions to improve their own behavior. CToM drafts a response, predicts how

    One-Step Text Generation by Seq-Drifting

    arXiv:2610.12879v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Diffusion language models generate tokens in parallel, but still require multiple sampling steps to produce high-quality text. In this paper, we investigate whether a model can learn to generate an entire sequence in a single forward pass. We propose Seq-Drifting, a framework that applies drifting to sequences of continuous token representations and directly learns a map from Gaussian noise to text. Unlike existing DLMs that derive the supervision at each position directly from the observed token in a training sequence, Seq-Drifting builds a drif

    OGPO: Offline Goal-conditioned Policy Optimization for Recoverable Vision-Language-Action Models

    arXiv:2610.12914v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Vision-language-action (VLA) models have shown strong promise in robotic manipulation, yet their post-training still predominantly relies on trajectory-level supervised imitation over robot demonstrations. While effective for learning feasible actions, this paradigm supervises policies to reproduce expert actions at each step, biasing them toward demonstration-specific action paths and providing limited guidance for recovering toward task-progress states once execution deviates from demonstrated trajectories. To address this limitation, we propos

    DeFiRank: Federated Pairwise Ranking for Governance in Decentralized Financial Networks

    arXiv:2610.12916v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Existing governance approaches in decentralized financial networks rely on manual review processes conducted by human committees, which introduces subjective bias, creates a scalability bottleneck under high network volume, and fails to capture complex behavioural patterns and evolving network dynamics. To address these limitations, we propose \name, a federated learning-based pairwise ranking framework in which multiple institutions collaboratively train a ranking model without sharing their private transaction data.

    Learning More by Training Less: Uncertainty-Guided Progressive Contraction for Efficient Reasoning Post-Training

    arXiv:2610.12933v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models have achieved remarkable advances in complex reasoning. However, scaling reasoning post-training with ever-larger corpora can substantially increase training cost without proportional performance gains. In this study, we therefore ask: how far can reasoning supervision be compressed without sacrificing capability? To this end, we propose an uncertainty-guided progressive contraction framework that concentrates supervision and optimization on the reasoning trajectories most valuable for learning. Specifically, rather than tre

    Beyond Semantic IDs: Finite-Beam Reachability and Continuous-Query Generation in Generative Recommendation

    arXiv:2610.12977v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Generative recommendation (GR) of social media platforms commonly retrieves items by autoregressively decoding discrete Semantic IDs (SIDs) with finite-width beam search. This work examines how this output interface constrains whether held-out targets enter finite returned lists, while distinguishing catalog-wide scoreability from empirical top-K support. We introduce two continuous-query paradigms: CQG-Single generates one retrieval query in a single pass, and CQG-AR autoregressively generates continuous residual updates, retaining step-wise dec

Human demonstrations convey procedural knowledge through the same GUI interaction space, but reuse requires interpreting actions in context and separating workflow rules from task-specific details. We thus introduce Work2Skill, a framework that captures human GUI experience for reusable agent skill induction. WorkRecorder provides the framework's infrastructure for collecting this experience, a

    arXiv:2610.13000v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Language-model agents are used for specialized work such as financial research, healthcare and law. Such agents are often capable enough for a task but still miss its details. In finance, for example, these details include which filing reports a figure or how a company discloses a metric. Retraining the agent to learn these details is expensive, and often impossible when the agent is a closed or shared system. Writing the missing know-how into the agent's prompt makes the prompt long and identical for every input, although different inputs need d

    Scaling Empowered Agents

    arXiv:2610.13002v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Empowerment measures the capacity of an agent to actively control its environment. In this work, we explain the connection between skill learning and empowerment. While skill learning is not empowerment, we introduce a simple scalable recipe for empowerment maximization: empowerment corresponds to the number of executable skills from a state, so maximizing empowerment corresponds to reaching states that are good starting points for many skills. Our recipe applies to arbitrary underlying skill learning methods. Whereas most prior work on empowerme

A performance score does not distinguish these mechanisms. We compare these changes through bounded verification with hidden terminal randomness. A stage specifies admissible transcripts, polynomial bounds, an alternating verification protocol, and a terminal checker. Its native reach uses default support; its closure frontier permits all support already admitted by the interface. Under a uniform pointwise probabilit
