What moved today — models, papers, tools and the repositories people are starring right now. Collected once a day; one heading per subject, however many places covered it.
Existing evaluations often test persona expression rather than whether persona information persists in extended decision-making. We introduce THEATRON, a controlled benchmark that uses financial replay to evaluate persona persistence in long-horizon sequential decision-making. In
The small open embedder EmbeddingGemma-300M, used as released, finds the right passage first for only 51.7% to 60.8% of Belebele questions in Tajik, Kazakh, Uzbek and Kyrgyz. We present Saidzoda-CA-EmbeddingGemma-300M, one model for all four languages. It is our Tajik fine-tune o
A legal answer is only as good as the article it rests on. Vietnam's largest open legal corpus pairs 109,543 published questions and answers with 573,851 legal documents, yet its citations are free text: "Khoan 3 Dieu 101 cua Bo luat nay" ("Clause 3, Article 101 of this Code") na
Dense retrievers are meant to select passages that match a query's semantic specification. We show they suffer from search-by-answer bias: they favor passages that mention answer objects the model knows (scores as likely), over passages that support valid alternative answers. We
Cross-lingual concept analysis requires distinguishing the information that a subspace retains from the classifiers and erasers that transfer through it. We study these operations in six frozen encoders using 10,359 Bangla (Bengali) idiom senses, eight input conditions, and figur
User plane function (UPF) selection in 5G networks is an active area of research, with various limited approaches proposed to enhance network efficiency and manage resources effectively. In this paper, we address this gap in the related literature by proposing a Deep Reinforcemen
We study stochastic bandits with reward-dependent delays, possibly infinite, whose reports omit the originating round. For each $c\in[0,1)$, Balanced Historical Optimism (BHO) has a delay term controlled by the largest suboptimal-arm quantile at level $1-cΔ_i$, without requiring
Predictive algorithms are increasingly used to guide hospital discharge decisions, yet these models can exhibit censoring bias for vulnerable patients due to insufficient historical data or past discharge decisions. When biased readmission risk predictors are used to inform disch
Swarm Learning improves resilience and removes the need for a single trusted coordinator by distributing model aggregation and validation across participating nodes. However, it also delegates the validation of model updates to peers whose private data may be biased, unrepresenta
We describe the system submitted by Telefónica Innovación Digital to the Speech-COSER Challenge 2026, which features spontaneous speech from elderly speakers recorded in rural Spain. For ASR, we perform CTC-based pseudo-forced alignment scores audio-text match quality to guide a
Many studies of animal vocalizations require clean recordings, but animals are usually recorded in the field, with background noise from weather, vehicles, and other animals. Animal vocalization denoising is challenged by the scarcity of clean training data and the extreme divers
We present MicroSim, a system for binary code similarity detection that represents each function as a graph built from IDA Pro Hex-Rays microcode and compares such graphs with a contrastive Siamese graph neural network (GNN). We evaluate on the TREX cross-optimization benchmark,
The CoRL 2026 RoboEval challenge has eight bimanual tasks, and it ranks a policy not only on whether it succeeds but on how: every stage of the task, done safely, efficiently and with both arms in coordination, scored against human demonstrations. My solution has two parts. The g
