arXiv:2610.10590v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Tool-using agents repeatedly carry observations whose useful content can be much smaller than their original payload. We study agent-controlled forgetting: the acting model selects previously observed tool results, replaces each with a short note at its original position, and retains the exact original in a recoverable archive.
arXiv:2610.10611v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Agentic AI systems can improve by searching longer, receiving additional support, or modifying how they propose and verify outputs. A performance score does not distinguish these mechanisms.
arXiv:2610.10552v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Comparing parameter-efficient fine-tuning recipes under a single, shared learning rate is a common but flawed practice: when the arms being compared have very different trainable-parameter counts, a shared rate can simultaneously depress the larger arms' means and inflate their variance, manufacturing a large, seemingly multi-seed-significant advanta
arXiv:2610.10571v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Electroencephalography (EEG) provides a non-invasive measure of ongoing neural activity, but building general-purpose EEG models remains challenging due to the heterogeneity of subjects, devices, and electrode montages. Existing EEG foundation models predominantly rely on reconstruction-based objectives defined on the observed signal, which contains
arXiv:2610.10594v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Activation probes that monitor deployed language models are trained on synthetic conversations, and how many a probe needs is open. We trace learning curves over 10-590 synthetic samples for three monitoring concepts, high-stakes situations, replies harmful to a person, and replies that do not follow the user's instruction, on fourteen held-out evalu
arXiv:2610.10550v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Personalizing text-to-image diffusion models from a few reference images requires preserving subject identity while following prompts that describe new contexts. Full-model fine-tuning is parameter-intensive, whereas low-rank adaptation (LoRA) reduces the number of trainable parameters but leaves open how adaptation capacity should be distributed acr
arXiv:2610.10592v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Historical Polish is well documented as a language but annotated in machine-readable form only to about a million words for the period this paper covers; the rest sits behind optical character recognition of variable quality. We present Wieszcz-XIX, a corpus of 6.75 billion tokens (about 3.1 billion words) in 294,369 documents, most of them periodica
arXiv:2610.10650v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Work zones are critical yet hazardous components of transportation infrastructure, requiring carefully designed Transportation Management Plans (TMPs) to ensure safety and mobility. However, TMP preparation remains labor-intensive and heavily dependent on practitioner expertise.
Friday, October 16, 2026 Can AI design new life forms? In 2025, Stanford University PhD student Samuel King came up with a preliminary answer when he used a generative AI model to propose genetic blueprints for microscopic viruses.
