arXiv:2602.00970v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Agents powered by large language models (LLMs) are increasingly deployed in settings where communication shapes high-stakes decisions, making a principled understanding of strategic communication essential. Prior work largely studies either unverifiable cheap-talk or fully verifiable disclosure, failing to capture realistic domains in which information has probabilistic credibility. We introduce MixTalk, a strategic communication game for LLM-to-LLM interaction that models information credibility. In MixTalk, a sender agent strategically combines verifiable and unverifiable claims to […]

arXiv:2601.16405v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Coverage Path Planning (CPP) is a fundamental capability for agricultural robots; however, existing solutions often overlook energy constraints, resulting in incomplete operations in large-scale or resource-limited environments. This paper proposes an energy-aware CPP framework grounded in Soft Actor-Critic (SAC) reinforcement learning, designed for grid-based environments with obstacles and charging stations. To enable robust and adaptive decision-making under energy limitations, the framework integrates Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) for spatial feature extraction and Long Short-Term […]

arXiv:2602.21327v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Individuals with similar qualifications and skills may vary in their demeanor, or outward manner: some tend toward self-promotion while others are modest to the point of omitting crucial information. Comparing the self-descriptions of equally qualified job-seekers with different self-presentation styles is therefore problematic. We build an interactive AI for skill elicitation that provides accurate determination of skills while simultaneously allowing individuals to speak in their own voice. Such a system can be deployed, […]

arXiv:2604.09800v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This paper presents an analytical framework to study the geometry arising when a soft continuum arm grasps a planar object. Both the arm centerline and the object boundary are modeled as smooth curves. The grasping problem is formulated as a kinematic boundary following problem, in which the object boundary acts as the arm’s ‘shadow curve’. This formulation leads to a set of reduced kinematic equations expressed in terms of relative geometric shape variables, […]

Preference-based reward learning is widely used for shaping agent behavior to match a user’s preference, yet its sparse binary feedback makes it especially vulnerable to causal confusion. The learned reward often latches onto spurious features that merely co-occur with preferred trajectories during training, collapsing when those correlations disappear or reverse at test time. We introduce ReCouPLe, a lightweight framework that uses natural language rationales to provide the missing causal signal. Each rationale is treated as a guiding projection […]

AI enthusiasts are in a race against time, AI skeptics are in a race against entropy Charity Majors neatly captures the dynamic between AI enthusiasts and AI skeptics, both of whom are trying to build great software, often in the same teams: The enthusiasts are not wrong. We are starting to see real, non-imaginary, discontinuous leaps in capabilities from teams that lean in hard to working with AI. And this does not feel like a normal technology cycle […]

Binary droplet collisions are ubiquitous in dense sprays. Traditional deterministic models cannot adequately represent transitional and stochastic behaviors of binary droplet collision. To bridge this gap, we developed a probabilistic model by using a machine learning approach, the Light Gradient-Boosting Machine (LightGBM). The model was trained on a comprehensive dataset of 33,540 experimental cases covering eight collision regimes across broad ranges of Weber number, Ohnesorge number, impact parameter, size ratio, and ambient pressure. The resulting machine learning classifier […]
