The study introduces LedgerMind, a method for multimodal agents ensuring that answers are supported by tools and data. The system normalizes tool outputs into a structured ledger, verifies entity- and number-level grounding and repairs errors as typed states without adding content unsupported by a tool. Tests…

EvoCause: Improving causal graphs with LLMs for fault diagnosis

The EvoCause study uses LLMs to improve causal graphs for root-cause analysis (RCA) in telecommunications. It presents results on synthetic data (Node F1 higher by 11.59 pp) and the new TeleRCA benchmark with 485 681 alarms. Missing alarm name information reduces performance by 6–8 pp.

DoTime: A synthetic benchmark generator for interventional and counterfactual causal inference in time series

DoTime was released as an open-source PyPI package with four evaluation suites for testing causal inference in time series. The tool generates synthetic structural causal models with continuous-time interventions, counterfactual sampling, non-stationary dynamics and deterministic profiles (ramp…

The research team introduces MiGUE-Bench, a benchmark for evaluating LLM capabilities in event analysis with four tasks: detection, relations, structure and prediction. It includes MiGUE-Pipeline, an LLM-driven framework for automated annotation. Tests on existing models revealed critical shortcomings in cross-document…

Agentic extraction of intertextuality in classical Chinese histories with expert validation

The research team developed a method for analyzing intertextuality in classical Chinese histories. A large language model identifies where texts repeat and classifies them along five dimensions (form, aspect, source attribution, function, stance). On a benchmark of 2 533 pairs from the Analects and the Book of Han, models achieve…

EvoLib: A framework for AI agents to learn evolutionarily from their own experience

A Microsoft research team introduced EvoLib, a framework for continuous learning by AI agents. Instead of storing raw experiences, the system extracts and iteratively refines knowledge from experience. In tests on various tasks, EvoLib outperformed memory retrieval approaches and made more efficient use of…

Research proposes methods for generation in any order with masked diffusion models

A new research paper describes two approaches (insertion-based and latent-space masked diffusion) intended to enable masked diffusion models to truly generate in any order, including code infilling. The authors trained a 7B model FlexMDM on Python code and a 125M model LatentMDM on GSM8K, the code is on…

Research: DuplexGen generates training dialogues with turn-taking behavior tailored to the scenario

Researchers introduced the DuplexGen framework, which calibrates the generation of training dialogues based on human preferences so that AI adapts turn-taking to the specific scenario. In tests on six tasks, it aligned with human preferences more closely than existing methods.

Researchers proposed RAGuard, a two-layer defense for RAG systems against data poisoning

Researchers described RAGuard, a two-layer defense for RAG systems against corpus poisoning: an adversarially trained retriever and the ZKIP filter, which, according to the authors, reduced the attack success rate to 0.000 without labeled data while maintaining retrieval accuracy.

The EC-Reason-Bench study examines why general-purpose language models fail at enzyme classification

The EC-Reason-Bench benchmark shows that general-purpose language models without external supporting information all but fail at determining detailed EC numbers for enzymes, while access to external evidence sharply improves performance and blurs the differences between models.

Pegasus: Turning human videos into training data for robots

Pegasus is a framework for transforming human manipulation videos into data for robot learning. It bridges the gap between human and robot morphology (embodiment gap) through structured knowledge transfer via Task, Affordance and Constraint Graphs with physics-based verification. Evaluation on GTEA Gaze+ and…
